阅读理解。      George and his friend Peter were fond of deer-hunting, and whenever they had a free day during the
deer-hunting season, they took their guns and went off into the forest.
      One Saturday they were sitting on a stone eating their sandwiches (三明治) and drinking their coffee
when they saw a man walking through the snow towards them. He was dressed in deer-hunting clothes,
but he had no gun with him. When he got nearer, the two friends saw that he was following a deer"s foot
prints. They were both very surprised to see a man following a deer without a gun. So when he reached
them, they stopped him and asked him whether any thing was wrong and whether they could help him.
The man sat down beside them, accepted a cup of coffee and told them his story.
      Like them, he had gone out deer-hunting that morning with a friend. They had seen a deer with very
big horns (角), and had followed it for some time. Then he had fired at it, and it had fallen just where it
stood. He and his friend had run over to examine it, and he had said to his friend "This deer"s horns will
make a wonderful rack (架子) for my guns when I get it home." He had then put his gun in the deer"s
horns and stepped back to see exactly how they would look as a gun rack on the wall of his study. He
had been admiring the effect when the deer had suddenly jumped up, shaken itself and ran away, carrying
his gun firmly stuck in its horns. 1. This is a story about _____. [     ]
A: how to hunt deer during the hunting season
B: a hunting experience of George and Peter
C: how a hunter lost his weapon while deer-hunting
D: how deer sometimes fool their hunter 2. When did George usually go hunting? [     ]

阅读理解。      At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his
schoolmates up to start a babysitting circle.
      Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a
company with a £30000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than 15000 by next summer.
      He set up Peter Backborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, colour term-planner that now
students all over the UK are using.
      "I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative, " he says "I believed
that I could do a better job and decided to have a go."

course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his
business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one
holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money. 
      "Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get
a job to support themselves," he says "I work hard at my company because that is what will
support me next year, after I leave college."
      Friends believe that Blcakburn will make £1 million within 5 years.
      He is not quite so sure, however, "There"s a lot to be done yet," he says. 1. Choose the right order of the facts given in the passage.

mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her sitting by her
window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) and reading. 
     After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was
unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "Why doesn"t that woman clean her window?
It really looks terrible."
     One bright morning I decided to clean my flat,including cleaning the window.
     Late in the afternoon after I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for
a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!

hers through my own dirty window.

my own dirty window?" Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others" world
