With the tears streaming down her face，she put her two hands to her lips，and kissed them to Him; then clasped(紧握着)them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there．
“You are not the gaoler’s(监狱长)daughter ?”
She sighed“No. ”
“Who are you ?”
Not yet trusting the tones of her voice，she sat down on the bench beside him．He drew back but she laid her hand upon his arm．A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her．
Her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neck．Advancing his hand by little and little，he took it up and looked at it．In the middle
of the action he went astray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking．But lot for long．Releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder．After looking doubtfully at it，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，
put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to it．
He opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than
one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger．
He took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it．“It is the same．How can it be! When was it! How was it!”
As the concentrating expression returned to his forehead，he seemed to become conscious that it was in hers too．He turned her full to the light，and looked at her．
“She had laid her head upon my shoulder，that night when I was summoned(传唤)out—she had a fear of my going，though I had none—and when I was brought to the North Tower they found these upon my sleeve．‘You will leave me them? They can never help me to escape in the
body，though they may in the spirit．’Those were the words I said．I remember them very well. ” He formed this speech with his lips many times before he could utter it．But when he did find spoken words for it，they came to him coherently(连贯地)，though slowly．
“How was this?一Was it you? ”

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast. We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, "My I get you something?" "A coffee would be nice." Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, "How did you get to know Mr. Gal breath?" "Who?" "The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs." I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men! My few minutes with Mr. Gal breath changed my life.

Lumberjack Art
When people think of an artist, they probably do not imagine a lumberjack（伐木工人）cutting down trees with a chainsaw．Yet many lumberjacks consider themselves to be artists． Instead of．patiently working on a large block of hard rock, however, lumberjack artists use chainsaws to．．carve their, masterpieces from wood．
Wooden, sculptures （雕塑） created with chainsaws are perfect examples of folk art． Everyday tools are used to create art that focuses on subjects found in nature, such as bears or other forest animals．Not all lumberjacks are artists, but some chainsaw artists have been lumberjacks．
A lumberjack, who is also an artist might cut down a tree during a workday．If the stump, the bottom of the tree, is a good size, the artist might be motivated to sculpt the stump into the shape of a forest animal．The chainsaw artist might also carve other large blocks of wood．Sometimes a homeowner might cut down a tree in the yard and then hire a chainsaw artist
to create an outdoor sculpture from the stump．So, this art owes its origins to everyday tasks and nature．
The origins of chainsaw art may be humble （不起眼的）, but the practice has expanded well beyond turning a stump into a sculpture．In some ways chainsaw artists are like traditional woodcarvers．One artist said that using chainsaws was simply more practical．This person began his work as a traditional woodcarver-that is, he used hand tools to ．carve the wood into the shapes he wanted．To save time, he began using a chainsaw to remove some parts of the wooden block．This artist realized that the chainsaw not only cut down large pieces of wood quickly, but also produced a distinctive and beautiful pattern on- the: wood．These patterns would not be seen in other pieces of art．Eventually, the artist began using the chainsaw for nearly all of his carvings．
However unusual it may seem, chainsaw art is here to stay．The final test of success for any type of art is the enthusiasm and acceptance of the public．The conclusion is; people love watching chainsaw artists work, and people love the sculptures they create．
60．What do we know about chainsaw artists?
A．They are originally traditional lumberjacks．
B. They create masterpieces in woods and forests.
C. They introduce a new concept of artists to people.
D. They produce their sculptures while cutting down trees.
61. Chainsaw art
A. is a kind of folk art
B. is hard to be spread
C. focuses on modern themes
D. needs time to be mastered
62. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 4?
A. The origins of the lumberjack art.
B. The experiences of a chainsaw artist.
C. The procedure for creating a chainsaw sculpture.
D. The application of chainsaw in the lumberjack art.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
For the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts(地位相当的人) to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.
Traditional economics takes an optimistic line on integration (整合) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital.
If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment (组合投资), it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive. This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.
74. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization?
A. They can get more chances to gain a good job.
B. They can get more financial aid.
C. They have nothing to lose.
D. They have less to lose and more to gain.
75. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource?
A. It will top up domestic savings.
B. It will loosen the financial restriction.
C. It will push people’s incomes up.
D. It will bring technology and skills from abroad.
76. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.
B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries’ expense.
C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.
D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.
77. Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage?
A. Benefited or Hurt
B. Who Benefits the Most
C. Helping the Poor
D. The Inflow of Resources
74. D 75. C 76. D 77. B。
