A
Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg．I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended ,as there are a whole lot of antique（古董）shops near my home．So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me．I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）．I was quite wrong．The man wouldn't oven look at my chair．
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong．
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind．I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“Would you like to buy a chair?”He looked it over carefully and said,“Yes, not a bad chair．How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,”I said．“OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds．”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said．“Yes, I saw that, it's nothing．”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited．“What will you do with it?”I asked．“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done．”“I'll buy it,”I said．“What do you mean？You’v e just sold it to me,”he said．“Yes, I know but I’v e changed my mind．I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it．”“Your must be crazy, ”he said．Then, suddenly the penny dropped．“I know what you want．You want me to repair your chair．”“You’re right, ”
I said．“And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,’Would you mend this chair for me I wouldn't have agreed to do it,”he said．“We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble．But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused（感到有趣）by the whole thing．
1．We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________．
A．was rather impolite
B．was warmly received
C．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
D．asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
2．The expression “the penny dropped”in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ________．A．changed his mind B．accepted the offer
C．saw the writer’s purpose D．decided to help the writer
3．How much did the writer pay?
A．￡5．B．￡7．C．￡20．D．￡27．4．From the text, we can learn that the writer was ________

Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way （银河系）? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination．So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye．They would have to sleep for years．
European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments．The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a spaceflight to distant planets．"If there was an effective technology, it could make deep space travel a reality,"
said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month．
What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely．Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep like state where they don’t age．They have now moved on to the small, non hibernating mammals （哺乳动物）like rats．
A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex （复杂的）．"It’s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia．Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism （新陈代谢）to lower so they would need less energy．
Medical research, however, is just half of a spaceflight hibernation system．There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter （栖身所）．Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature．It would also have to monitor （监控）life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator．
According to Ayre, the six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission （使命）to Jupiter’s moon （木星的卫星）Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation．The mission aims to send six persons on a five year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045．
5．According to the article, the hibernation research _______．
A．is just an idea B．is always a science fiction
C．has already finished successfully D．has made some progress
6．In a hibernating state, a person needs ________．
A．less sleep B．more food C．less energy D．more movement
7．The first try of the hibernation technologythe six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon Callisto．
A．will be B．has been planned for
C．is certain to be D．may be
8．What is the best title of the article?
A．Hibernation study for space travel B．Welcome to our space travel
C．To hibernate, to live longer D．Welcome to the Milky Way
