Passage One:
Peter won his all important game and became American Chess Master for the year 1988 and he was held in great respect.
"It isn't rightly mine." he said, holding up the cup. "It was won five years ago when I was on holiday in…" He began his story.
A young mother and her son were staying at my hotel. The lady had heard that I played chess, and she begged me to give her son a game. "He's only ten, she said "but I've been told he plays well. I hope you can prove it."
Well, as you can imagine, I was not very happy. A player likes to meet somebody at his own level. But it was holiday time, and I agreed to play. We set up the board in the garden. I hope the game would be quick--- and so it was.
I soon found out that the boy was no learner. After ten minutes a girl came outside and began to play tennis against the wall. The boy seemed to have lost interest in our game. He moved a piece
carelessly. I watched the board with great attention.
"Call me when you're ready, Peter," he said.
When I was ready? I looked up. He had gone off to play with the girl. I studied the board and found myself in difficulty. So it went on with the boy: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to the girl. My difficulties became hopeless. I was beaten so easily by a born chess player. The victory was his --- in twenty minutes.
David Smith --- the name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.

Passage T wo:
I don't often lose things and I’m especially careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet and it wasn't there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting. Unfortunately, there were several people sitting at the table at the time, so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier. I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the manager of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anything was wrong. I didn't want to get a lot of people involved in the
problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back. I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report the missing wallet to the police. I told him that I didn't particularly want to get the police involved in it; besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes... I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay the check. He told me not to worry about that.

Passage Three:
The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character.Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man courageous, courteous, manly, and intellectual.
A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about Cleopatra's nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!
Historically, man's nose has had a principal role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concerning the nose refer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousy and revenge.
In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one's nose expresses a basic human feeling pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things, and
places.
The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man's weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.
For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase to have one's nose put out of joint is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.
This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!
61. This passage is about .
A. the human nose as an organ for breathing and smelling
B. the nose providing us with various expressions
C. a woman poet's wish to have two noses
D. interesting comments made on Cleopatra's nose
62. "To hold up one's nose" is an expression of .
A. contempt
B. revenge
C. anger
D. jealousy
63. A person who is led around by the nose .
A. lets his instinct guide him
B. has no will of his own
C. is strong-minded
D. is full of imagination
64. A man who is described as "to have his nose put out of joint" .
A. is happy
B. wants to smell a flower
C. is ill
D. feels hurt and rejected
65. "A sampling of expressions" in the last paragraph means .
A. "the giving of only one example to show one's feelings"
B. "quite a number of examples"
C. "expressions given to serve as examples"
D. "expressi6ns that need examples"
