40、回答40-59题 A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping．It wasn't much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too．A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime．The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter．It can be nothing more than a penny．Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it．It got me thinking about sounds again．We are besieged(包围) by so many sounds that attract the most attention．People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fir engine, a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street．When I'm in New York, I'm a New Yorker．I don't turn either．Like the natives．At home in my little town in Connecticut, it's different．The distant wail of a police ear, an emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I'm seated and brings me to the window if I'm in bed．It's the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest．In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors．I've been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house．How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?

44、回答44-63题 Sports have always been ruled by the weather．Rain, sleet, snow and cold called the plays．Baseball
fans have often sat in the rain without cover, waiting for the sun to come out and the game to begin．Football lovers sometimes took days to warm up after sitting through a freezing cold Sunday game．For both sports fans and players, the domed stadium was like something out of a dream．A huge plastic bubble kept out rain and snow．There was heat to keep things comfortable year round．Domed stadiums have clearly changed the course of sports．Still, they did have their problems at first．Most of these problems were discovered and solved at the Houston Astrodome．This was the world's first stadium with a lid．For the fans, it was great．But there were some problems for the players．Baseball outfielders had the most difficult time．They had to learn to catch in a field with a roof．At first this was almost as difficult as playing in the dark．The glass of the roof was light colored, to let sunlight in．Sunlight was needed to keep the grass on the field alive．But the light roof blended(混合)too welt with the white baseball．Fly balls seemed to drop out of nowhere．Even skilled fielders were making errors．Finally, the decision was made to paint the glass of the roof dark．The problem was solved．But what about the grass? Well, the real grass was dug up and replaced with artificial turf!

It is considered rude to be late．Also, it bothers other students．If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly．Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room．Then go to your seat and sit quietly．In the U.S．it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom．Most of the ELC teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late．Have your book out and be ready to begin when the class starts．Your teacher should not have to ask you every day to take out your book．Be sure you have a paper and a sharp pencil ready．
