There was a robbery at City Central Bank late yesterday afternoon. Two men entered the bank at about 4 p.m. and told the bank teller（出纳员）on duty to give them $1,000,000. The robbers were carrying guns and wearing black masks to cover their faces. The robbers told all the customers in the bank to lie down on the floor. Witnesses said that everyone in the bank
was very frightened and did what the robbers told them.
The teller agreed to give them the money but told them they’d have to wait a few minutes. She said the bank manager would have to get the money out of the safe. As the robbers were waiting for the money, the teller managed to press an alarm button that was hidden under the counter. It was a silent alarm so the robbers didn’t realize it had been set off.
Just as the manager arrived with the money, ten police officers entered the bank. The robbers were so surprised that the officers caught them easily. The robbers are now in custody（监禁）, and will appear in court next week.

C
Twelve European nations with a total population of 300 million people have given up their national currencies and now have a new currency--- the euro.
The decision to give up the French franc or German deutschmark has not been an easy one. Both were known as strong currencies across the world, so it is not surprising that Britain wants to have its people vote about changing currencies before making a decision. In the 15-member European Union, Britain, Demark and Sweden chose not to adopt the euro.
The decision about a single currency was taken 10 years ago. On January 1, 1991, 11 European countries began to use the new euro currency: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. Greece became the 12th country to adopt the euro on January 1, 2001. It became the official, single currency of these nations on January 1, 2002.
At present, all prices in the 12 countries are valued in euro. Each ―old‖currency stopped being used completely on February 28.
The coins have one side the same in all 12 countries. The other side is different in each country. The notes will look the same throughout the euro area. On the note, pictures of gateways and bridges represent European openness and co-operation.
As the euro becomes the only currency in the euro-zone, its symbol will become as well-known as the US dollar or Coca-Cola symbols. But Arthur Eisenmenger, now 86 and the designer of the symbol, seems to have been forgotten. He now lives in an old people’s home in Germany.
European Commission President, Jacques Santer, introduced the euro symbol to the world in 1997. He said it was a sign
of the weight of European civilization, an ―E‖for Europe, and the lines crossing through stand for the euro being a dependable currency. Even then, he never mentioned Eisenmenger, who designed the euro symbol more than a quarter of a century ago.
56. The euro symbol was designed by Eisenmenger ______.
A. in the 1970s
B. in the 1980s
C. in 1997
D. in 1999
57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A.The euro is the official single currency of Italy.
B.Germany used to use German deustschmark as its currency.
C.All the 15-member European Union doesn’t adopt the euro.
D. France can’t use French franc after January 1, 2001.
58. Europe’s new currency will help to ______.
A.make people live a peaceful life in Europe.
B.Make it convenient for people to travel in twelve European Countries.
C.Settle the problem of banknote forgery.
D.Make Europe much stronger than it used to be
59. The underlined word ―symbol‖ here means ______ in Chinese.
A. 商标
B. 标志
C. 好处
D. 影响
60. Britain wants to have its people vote about changing currencies before making a decision ____.
A.because people have the right to decide important things.
B.Because the government of Britain is willing to do things against people’s will
C.Because the currency of Britain—pound is known as a strong currency
D.Because Britain hasn’t the tradition to use the same currency with other European countries.
