Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
When Mary was in hospital with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious.Richard, who worked for a business company,expected to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her job.
They started by talking to bookstore owners to reserch the industry(产业).”We knew it had to be a specialty (专业) store because we couldn’t afford enough money,” says Mary. One idea came to her. She’d read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries, and many buyers spent more than $ 300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.
On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home.With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money starting a shop. To pay the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from friends and from a bank. The store nearly broke even in it’s first year, but Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract(吸引) buyers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and provided dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited some writers to discuss their stories.
Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $ 420, ooo a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales workers, Richard and Mary together earn about $ 34,000.
“ The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income(收入)。

” says Richard. “This has always been about a pleasant life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”
48. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that ____.
A. they had to realize their plan
B. health was more important than money
C. heart trouble was a serious illness
D.they both needed to stop working
49.After Mary got well from her illness, they began ____.
A.to open a bookstore right away
B. to do research on book business
C.to buy and read more mystery books
D. to work harder to save money for the bookstore
50. According to Richard, the main purpose of opening the bookstore
is___.
A. to pay for their children’s education
B.to get to know more writers
C.to set up more bookstores
D.to do what they like to do

C篇
It’s a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now conies the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behavior.
Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If Kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.
What is your cat’s IQ?
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behavior of their owners.
“Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the CATalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions. as evidenced by knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that’s been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas fife. ”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match. ”So. if you felt guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you call feel even worse：You fife making your cat fat!
There’s no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to Yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study. it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.
There’s a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and half-closed eyes. the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private 1esson in inner meditation. ”Brant said. Sure. But cats don’t have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their in-laws. They’re probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So, according to science。

even though we assumed that cats were not close to us all these years, it turns out they fife in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
51.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Humans’ keeping searching the fridge.
B.Cats’ going to their owners for food.
C.Cats’ copying humans’ habit of looking for food
D.Humans’ leaving cats home while working
52.What can we learn from our cats?
A．To remain calm.
B．To be able to copy
C．To stay proud
D．To look up to friends
53.According to the passage. which of the following is NOT true? A．Cats can copy humans’ schedule.
B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.
C.Cats are smart and have fl long memory.
D．Green tea and Yoga can benefit cats.
