题型:不详难度:来源:

A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her car.
“Whoever did this can keep my car. Please let Benjerman come home,” the notice said.
It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Kimberly Atkins of Dover and Benjerman, a 12-year-old black retriever (猎犬), were reunited after police located them in Barrington.
“He’s hungry, he’s dirty, but he’s very happy to be home,” Atkins said.
The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in a swampy (沼泽地) area frequented by off-the-road cars and dirt bikes. However, the police couldn’t control Benjerman, and they had to call Atkins to come and get him.
Atkins said the thief cared for Benjerman a little by providing him with some dry cat food. She believed Benjerman ended up drinking some muddy water in the area. She said they have been together for nearly 11 years after she took him back from a society shelter in Dallas, Texas.
Before Benjelman was found, Atkins and several friends put up notices all over the city and in Somersworth. They also contacted animal shelters,throughout southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
The notice stated there was a reward, and also that the dog needed medication. Any caller could remain anonymous (匿名的).
Atkins had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone in to rent a carpet cleaner. “It was l0 minutes and I came out and my car was gone along with Benjerman in broad daylight,” Atkins said. The car thief threw Atkins’ wallet and other personal items out of the car before escaping from the scene.

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield.The cab had a woolen carpet with  36 lace edges.On the glass partition that  37 the driver"s seat was a copy of a famous painting.Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much  38 and said to the driver,“I"ve never seen a nicer  39 .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered  40 
“The car isn"t mine,”said the driver.“It belongs to the company.I used to be a  41 of cabs.When they returned,all of them were as  42 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  43 here and there.On the seats and door-handles could be found something  44  like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  45 be considerate and refrain from littering.”
“So when I got a  46 to be a taxi-driver,I began  47 my idea into practice-to tidy and  48 the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car,I"d make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car  49 after a day"s work,it always remains  50 .”
When doing a thing,one makes efforts and wants to see the result.To change others,one has to make twice the  51 but get half the result.To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort.One had better ask oneself why one makes  52 on others much more than on oneself.  53 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people"s sake,your efforts will yield results,If you  54 the inner world of your own,examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt,instead of fixing your eyes on other people,you will find a cheerful  55 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.

In America,Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort:brilliant beaches,a lively boardwalk,plenty of restaurants and nightspots,and amusement rides sure to appeal to kids.Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season,when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.
Meanwhile,some safety tips should be followed,enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.
The number l safety tip concerns ocean safety:pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands.Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous.Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves.However,a calm ocean can become risky without warning.Make sure you swim near a lifeguard.Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.
Never swim alone.Many drownings involve single swimmers.When you swim with someone else,if one of you has a problem,the other may be able to get help,including signaling for assistance from others.
Don"t fight the current.The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents.These currents are formed by surf and gravity,because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach,gravity pulls it back.This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore.If you are caught in a rip current,don"t fight it by trying to swim directly to shore.Instead,swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax,then swim to shore.Most rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.
小题1:When coming to Virginia Beach,children can enjoy the happiness of the following except       .
A.walking on the road made of woodB.joining the nightspots
C.having interesting rides D.skiing in the sea
小题2:Many people believe the best time to visit Virginia Beach may be     .
A.after autumn school term beginningB.in the slimmer vacation
C.during the Christmas holiday D.in the cold winter
小题3:Swimming in the sea you"d better not swim     .
A.with a friendB.within the sight of the lifeguard
C.with the current D.as far as you like
小题4:From the passage,we can know     .
A.one in five persons swimming in the sea is drowned
B.if one with lifeguard were drowning,five persons without lifeguard would be
C.some 80%people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards
D.some 20%drowning by the currents are rescued by life guards
小题5:The passage mainly tells us      .
A.some safety tips when swimming in the sea
B.the happiness and excitement the beach offers
C.Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort
D.the dangers for tourists from land-locked regions to swim in the sea

A baby born in India has been declared the world"s seven billionth person by child rights group Plan International.Baby Nargis was born at 07:25 local time(01:55GMT)in Mall village in India"s Uttar Pradesh state.Plan International says Nargis has been chosen symbolically as it is not possible to know where exactly the seven billionth baby is born.In addition to baby Nargis in India,Bangladesh,the Philippines and Cambodia have all identified seven billionth babies.The United Nations estimated that on Monday 31 October.the world"s population would reach seven billion.
Populations are growing faster than economies in many poor countries in Africa and some in Asia.At the same time,low birth rates in Japan and many European nations have raised concerns about labor shortages.
Population experts at the United Nations estimated that the world reached six billion in October 1999.They predict nine billion by 2050 and ten billion by the end of the century. China"s population of one and a third billion is currently the world"s largest.India is second at 1.2 billion.But India is expected to pass China and reach one and a half billion people around 2025.
India will also have one of the world"s youngest populations.Economists say this is a chance for a so-called.demographic dividend.India could gain from the skills of young people in a growing economy at a time when other countries have aging populations.But economists say current rates of growth,although high,may not create enough jobs.Also,the public education system is failing to meet demand and schooling is often of poor quality.Another concern is health care.Nearly half of India"s children under the age of five are malnourished(营养不良).
Michal Rutkowski,the director of human development in South Asia at the World Bank, says reaching seven billion people in the world is a good time for a call to action.He says,“I think the bottom line of the story is that the public policy needs to become really,really serious about sex equality and about access to services—to fight against malnutrition,and to provide for access to health services,water and schooling.”
小题1:What is true about the world"s seven billionth person?
A.Baby Nargis is not the only child chosen as the seven billionth baby.
B.Baby Nargis has been chosen carefully so it is exactly the seven billionth baby.
C.Three countries have all declared Baby Nargis as the seven billi011th baby.

小题2:Which of the following problems do many European countries worry about?
A.Labor shortage.B.Poor health care.
C.Not enough jobs.D.Schooling of poor quality.
小题3:According to population experts,how long will it take for population to grow from six billion to nine billion?
A.About 12 years.B.About 40 years.C.About 50 years.D.About 110 years.
