It was getting dark and snow was coming down. Joe was driving home. He’d been unemployed since the factory closed. Most of his friends had left, but he stayed on. After all, he was born here.
Suddenly he saw a lady standing on the side of the road and pulled up. She was worried. No one had stopped to help her. Was he going to hurt her? He looked poor and hungry. Joe knew how she felt and said, “My name is Joe and I’m here to help you.〞 All she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Joe changed the tire, but he got dirty and his hands were hurt. She wanted to pay Joe and said any amount would have been all right. Joe never thought twice about the money and there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance that they needed.
Later the lady went in a dingy-looking restaurant to grab a bite to eat. The cash register was like the telephone of an out-of-work actor----it didn’t ring much. The waitress, who was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕), brought a clean towel to her with a sweet smile. The old lady remembered Joe. After the waitress brought the change from a 100-dollar bill, she found the lady gone and something written on a piece of paper, “Someone once helped me out----the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, don’t let the chain of love end with you.〞That night the waitress gave her sleeping husband a soft kiss and whispered, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Joe.〞

A. He drove to work.

If you d on’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret according to a British market research document released last week.
Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the content s with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.
They say those people can be divided into five categories: “nutrition nerds〞, “food faddists〞, “martyr mums〞, “fast food fanatics〞and “restaurant regulars〞.
“Nutrition nerds〞 care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat. People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority are single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.
A fridge full of vitamins —enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the “food faddists〞, they just want to be seen as buying the latest important things.
A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the “martyr mum〞. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.
“Fast food fanatics〞 always buy mineral water for soda pop (汽水); the nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard. Also, someone who is not into long term planning.
Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.
49. We can know from the first two paragraphs that _________________.
A. some researchers are fond of staring at other people’s fridges
B. people don’t want others to know about their secrets
C. the food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality
D. there are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people
50. According to the passage, people who belong to “food faddists〞
____________.
A. don’t care much about money when buying things
B. will try their best to stay healthy
C. often stay up late to finish their job
D. prefer to ask others about what to do next
51. What will those who often dine out put in the fridge?
A. All kinds of food they like.
B. Only something to drink.
C. Fruit, vegetables and meat.
D. Food rich in vitamins.
52. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Keep your fridge a secret
B. You are what’s in your fridge
C. What to put in the fridge?
D. Be careful about your fridge

Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently—animals．
That’s right, animals．Scientists have begun to understand what farmers have known for thousands of years．Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways．Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air．Cows broke their halters 〔缰绳〕and tried to escape．Chickens refused to enter their cage．All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, warned Chinese scientists of the coming quake．They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives．One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes．It’s not an easy job．First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake．Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his enclosure．The Australian horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm．It’s also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and
“earthquake nerves〞．A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar had been acting strangely．It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach．
A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive．They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do．Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice．Some can sense tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of Earth．This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes．
A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs．They were shut in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes．〔Several small quakes often come before or after a large one．〕 Before each quake a low booming sound was heard．Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly．Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period．A scientist who was recording quakes looked at his machine．It was acting as though there were a loud noise too．The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise．They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it．The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing．In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing．Many times, however, our machines record nothing extraordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming．The animals might be sensing something we measure but do not recognize as a warning．Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists．
53. Through the passage the writer hopes to explore __________．
A. why animals send a danger signal before an earthquake
B. how animals know when an earthquake is coming
C. why animals not men have good sense of danger
D. how much animals know about an earthquake60．
54. During an earthquake in China in 1975, _________．
A. chickens refused to go out of their cage
B. snakes were frozen to death in their caves
C. snakes awoke from their winter sleep earlier
D. cows broke their halters and escaped from their sheds
55. Which of the following is one of earthquake nerves according to the passage?
A. An Arabian horse tried to escape from his enclosure．
B. A cougar had an upset stomach unexpectedly．
C. An Australian horse was perfectly calm．
D. A cat acted very strangely in a zoo．
56. The scientists did an experiment with a group of dogs to _________．
A. find out that the machine could record unusual happenings
B. compare the reactions of animals and those of humans
C. prove that animals could sense more than humans
D. find out what exact warnings animals sent

Montreal(Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $10,000for breaking Washington’s strict new security rules. The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US -- which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.
Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US
stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour 〔迂回的路〕along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. "I feel like I'm living in
a prison," he said.
57. We learn from the text that Richard Albert is ________.
A. an American living in Township 15
B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village
C. a Canadian working in a customs station
D．an American working in a Canadian church
58. Albert was fined because he ________.
A. failed to obey traffic rules
B. broke the American security rules
C. worked in St. Pamphile without a pass
D．damaged the gate of the customs office
59. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The US citizens living on the American border can’t enter Canada
without special passes.
B. The US stopped giving out special passes to the Canadians living in that
area last May.
C. The US customs officers told Albert the reason why the similar program
had been stopped.
D. It is obvious that Albert is not pleased with the decisions on the fine
and in a bad mood.
60. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Cross-country Trip
B. A Special Border Pass
C. An Unguarded Border
D. An Expensive Church Visit
