took, and, against 2 of 100, I scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 3 have scored more than
80. 4 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him-and he always 5 it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man 6 questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of
them I"d prove myself a 7 . In a world where I have to work with my 8 , I"d do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man 9 . He had a habit of telling 10 .One time he said, "Doc, a deaf-and-dumb (聋哑) man 11 some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter
and made 12 movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He 13 his head and
pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk 14 him some nails. He picked out the right size
and left. Well, Doc, the 15 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀). 16 do you
suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two
fingers. He burst out laughing and said, "Why, you fool,he used his 17 and asked for them. I"ve been
18 that on all my customers today,but I knew 19 I"d catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because
you are so goddamned educated. Doc. I knew you couldn"t be very 20 ".
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

when his eyes fell on a grave marker that caught him by surprise, "Elizabeth A. Richardson, American
Red Cross, Indiana July 25, 1945".The chance discovery led to his new book-- An American Woman
in World War Two, which tells about the war through the eyes of Richardson.
Richardson joined the Red Cross in 1944 and worked on a Clubmobile- a converted bus from which
she and other women served coffee and chatted to American soldiers scattered across England and
France. More important than the food, they were a reminder of home for lonely and miserable soldiers.
She died at 27 in a crash of a two-seater L-5 Sentinel aircraft. She was one of four women buried at the
American Cemetery at Normandy.
Madison said the present understanding of World War Two just focused on the experiences of male
soldiers, but women were also important to the war effort and brought their own views to the conflict.
"The point I try to make in the book is how close Richardson came to understanding war," he said. "She
saw the effects of it, and she grieved (感到悲痛)."
When Madison returned from Normandy in 2001, he managed to contact Richardson"s younger
brother, Charles Richardson Jr. It was her family"s keeping of her letters and diaries that made possible
the book, which quoted from them extensively.
Madison believes America"s fascination with World War Two will outlive those who fought it and the
generations that follow them. Since the late 1980s, he has taught undergraduate courses on the war at
Indiana University, and he said students obviously warm up to the subject. He said he sometimes talked
to World War Two soldiers who "have a sense that young people don"t know and they don"t care". "I
tell them it"s the opposite", he said.
A. His friends suggested it.
B. He got it quite by accident
C. It was requested by Richardson"s brother.
D. It was arranged by his university.
B. were braver than male soldiers
C. didn"t experience much suffering during the war
D. had a good understanding of the cruelty of the war
B. That it talked about war from a woman"s point of view.
C. That it quoted a lot from Richardson"s letters and diaries.
D. That it reminded people of those who contributed in World War Two.
B. don"t respect World War Two soldiers
C. are eager to learn about World War Two
D. are more interested in learning about male soldiers
Imagine being in your car, peacefully driving, when suddenly something rock-hard breaks your
windshield (挡风玻璃), hits you and breaks nearly every bone in your face. It 1 out that the
"weapon" was a frozen turkey, 2 from the window of a speeding car by a teenage college
student out for a joyriding with friends.
That"s what 3 last November to Victoria Ruvolo, a 44-year-old office manager, on a road
in the far eastern town of Riverhead on Long Island. She could have been 4 , and she could
have had brain damage. Doctors had to 5 her face, using metal plates and screws. Surprisingly,
she recovered and within a few months was 6 on her own and working again.
But that"s not the 7 story. It"s what happened the following August in court (法庭) that makes
this a tale to 8 . The boy who threw the turkey was 19-year-old Ryan Cushing, who had poor
eyesight. He was 9 of a first-degree assault (袭击) charge and could have 10 up to 25 years
in prison. And then Ruvolo stepped in.
She saw Cushing for the first time coming out of the courtroom. He stopped, chocking and crying as
he tried to 11 to her.
"For an intensely emotional few minutes, Ruvolo 12 him tightly, wiped his face and patted his
back as he cried uncontrollably," wrote a New York Times reporter. As the young man kept saying, "I"m
sorry; I didn"t mean it," the woman he could have killed 13 , "It"s OK. It"s OK. I just want you to
make your 14 the best it can be."
Then, at Rubolo"s insistence (坚持), prosecutors (检察官) agreed to give Cushing six months in jail
instead of 25 years in prison.
One man later said that in his 30 years as a prosecutor he had not seen such a 15 victim.

wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller (银行柜员) at the bank.
All over the country banks were being robbed, George thought sourly. Why not this bank? Were
robbers scornful of its four-million-dollar capital?Were they afraid of Mr. Ackerman, the old bank guard, who hadn"t pulled out his gun in twenty-two years?
Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. After all, he couldn"t simply take
the thick bundles of bills that were under his hands all day long. So he had thought of another way to get
them. His plan was simple. It went like this:
If Bank Robber A holds up Bank Teller B…
And if Bank Teller B gives Bank Robber A a certain amount of money…
What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and claiming that it was stolen by
Bank Robber A?There was only one problem. Where was Bank Robber A?
One morning George entered the bank feeling something was about to happen. "Good morning, Mr.
Burrows." he said cheerfully. The bank president muttered something and went into his office.
At two o"clock Bank Robber A walked in. George knew he was a bank robber. For one thing, he
slipped in. For another, he wore a mask.
"This is a holdup." the man said roughly. He took a pistol from his pocket. The guard made a small
sound. "You," the bank robber said, "lie down on the floor." Mr. Ackerman lay down. The robber
stepped over to George"s cage.
"All right." he said. "Hand it over."
"Yes, sir." said George. "Would you like it in ten-or-twenty-dollar bills?"
"Just hand it over!"
George reached into his cashbox and took all the bills from the top section-close to six thousand
dollars. He passed them through the window. The robber snatched them, stuffed them into his pocket,
and turned to leave.
Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B calmly lifted off the top section of the
cashbox and slipped bills from the bottom section into his pockets.
The bank robber was gone. George fainted. When he woke he smiled up at the worried faces looking down at him. "I"m all right." he said bravely.
"Perhaps you should go home, George." Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, said.
As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George took the money from his pockets and
counted it. He had seven thousand dollars. He was very happy.
The next morning when George arrived at the bank, it was not open for business. But everyone was
there, helping to examine the bank"s records for the special audit (审计师) Mr. Bell was taking.
George was called into Mr. Burrows" office. The bank president seemed strangely cheerful. "George,"
he said, "I want you to meet Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank."
"Good morning, George." said Mr. Carruthers. "I was sorry to hear you fainted yesterday. Are you all
right now?"
"Yes, sir. Just fine, thanks."
"I"m glad to hear it. That was quite an adventure. It just goes to show how easy it is to rob our bank."
"Sir?"said George, confused.?
"George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these
days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed too. That"s why I
played my little game yesterday, just to keep everybody on his toes."
"I don"t understand." said George. "What game?"
The old man laughed and whipped out a mask. He placed it over his face and said, "All right. Hand it
over!" Mr. Burrows laughed but George did not.
"And the money?" George asked in a small voice.
"Don"t worry." Mr. Carruthers said. "I put it all back in your cashbox, all six thousand. We"re just
finishing up the audit now." George turned cold with fear.
Behind them, the door opened and Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, put his head into the room. "Mr.
Burrows," he said gravely, "may I see you a moment?"
B. make him look like a hero
C. show that Central Bank was important

turned to me and asked, "Aunty, are you 1 I don"t have enough money? "
I counted his cash and 2 , " You know that you don"t have enough money to buy the doll, my
dear." The little boy was still 3 the doll in his hand. "It"s the doll that my sister 4 most and wanted
so much. I want to 5 it to her for her birthday. I want my Mommy to take it to my sister." His eyes
were so 6 while saying this.
"My sister has 7 to be with God. Daddy says that Mommoy is going to see God very soon too,
so I 8 that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister." My heart 9 stopped. The little
boy looked at me and said, " I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to 10 until I come
back from the 11 ."
Then he showed me a very nice 12 of him where he was laughing. He then told me, " I want
Mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won"t 13 me. I love my Mommy and I wish she didn"t have to 14 ,but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister." I quickly reached for my
15 and said to the boy, " Shall we check again, 16 you do have enough money for the doll?"
"OK!" he said, " I hope I do have enough." I 17 some of my money to his, 18 him seeing, and we
started to count it. There was 19 for the doll and even some extra money. I left the place, in tears,
feeling that my 20 had been changed forever.

"It was a night jump, and we were jumping low," he recalls. "We were training. Somebody got too close
to my parachute (降落伞)."The parachute below blocked Reed"s air and his parachute failed to open.
Reed crashed a hundred feet to the ground, breaking his back in five places.
The next morning, Reed could not move. "Doctors said it was likely that I would never walk again."
Reed stared out of his hospital window, wondering what the future would be like. It was the saddest
moment of his life. "The experts are telling me my body doesn"t work! What am I supposed to do?" he
thought.
To distract (转移注意力) himself, he picked up a book: Robert Heinlein"s Starship Troopers. The
science-fiction describes a set of man-made muscles that would allow people to carry 2,000 pounds. He
thought that if he could build something like that, it might be able to lift him out of his wheelchair. So he
began his project and finally succeeded in building a set of robot legs. Several years later, he made an
amazing recovery and was able to get up and walk away from his wheelchair. He even jumped out of an
airplane again to celebrate.
Reed wanted to do something for others with the second chance that life had given him. He has now
perfected the robot legs that can get the injured, the elderly and the paralyzed (瘫痪的) out of their
wheelchairs. Now he has started his own company to make the legs. "I"ve seen them compete in
marathons and go swimming and mountain climbing," he said. "So never give up!"
B. discover how to make man-made muscles
C. learn how to jump out of an airplane
D. stop himself from thinking about his pain
B. He is fond of reading science fiction.
C. He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
D. He didn"t believe what the doctors said.
B. return to the Army Rangers and continue with his jumps.
C. compete in games and marathons and go swimming.
D. help more patients in wheelchairs to recover.
