other trains. He was half-way across the track when he suddenly saw a locomotive (车头) racing toward

find a bank prepared to let him have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is
18.
The 16-year-old works for a small firm (分公司) in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people
of his age is finding a job. David"s firm puts two new games on the home market each month.
But David"s biggest headache is what to do with his money. In spite of his salary, made by inventing new
programs within quite a short period of time, with bonus payments and profitsharing, (奖金和分红) he cannot
drive a car, get some money from a bank to buy a house, or get credit cards (信用卡).
He lives with his parents in their house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His firm has to pay
￡ 150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.
David got his job with the firm a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a
computer shop."I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs."
he said.
"I suppose ￡ 35000 sounds a lot but actually that"s not good enough I hope it will come to more than
that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother ￡20 a week. But
most of his spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in
books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying
on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, any-way."
David added,"I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You
never know when the market might disappear."
enough to pass exams. Others didn"t do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking
in the Students" Union than working in the library.
Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred
questions. Beside each question we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night
before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night
he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan.
"It"s very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I"ll take a
coin into the examination room. I haven"t studied a chemistry book for months, so I"ll just toss the coin. (throw
the coin into the air.) That way, I"m sure I"ll get half the questions right."
The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he
marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.
The next day, he saw the chemistry professor at the gate.
"Oh good,"he said,"Have you got the results of the test?"
The professor looked at him and smiled.
"Ah, it"s you, Baines. Just a minute."
Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and
looked at it.
"I"m terribly sorry, Baines," he said, "You failed!"
Ｂ: passed
Ｃ: did just enough to pass
Ｄ: failed in
Missouri 2 Christmas when my car almost ran out of gas. I stopped at 3 gas station about 50
miles from Oklahoma City. I was planning 4 and visit a friend there. While I was standing in line at the
cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple (夫妇) 5 were also paying for gas.
I drove away, 6 had gone only a few miles when black smoke came from the back of my car. I
stopped and wondered 7 I should do. A car stopped behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the
gas station. They said they 8 me to my friend"s.
When I got home, I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping 9 . Soon afterward, I
received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with said that helping me had made their holidays
10 .
"Thank you" —two powerful words. They"re easy to say and mean so much.
it was 1 to the public, the king decided to have a (n) 2 . He invited as many people as he could to take
part in it so that he could see who could travel the 3 the best.
On the day of the competition, the people came. Some of them had fine clothing or great food. They
travelled the highway all day, but each one, when arriving at the end, looked rather 4 and complained to
the king that there was a large pile of 5 on the road at one spot (地点) and that this got in their way.
At the end of the day, a traveller crossed the finish line and walked over to the king. He was 6 and
dirty, but he showed great respect to the king and handed him a bag of gold.
He explained that he stopped along the way to clear (清理) a pile of rocks and found that bag of gold
under it all. He hoped that the king could help him to 7 it to its owner.
The king replied, "You are the rightful owner. This is the 8 for the winner. You travels the road
9 because you clear the road for those who will 10 ."
Language School, still can"t believe her 10-day free training (训练) camp in the Alps in Switzerland last month
was true!
But how did she achieve this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Last October, a piece of short world news in a newspaper—"Have a chance to see the world, for free",
caught her eyes. When she asked her friends if the story was real, they laughed at her, for they thought she
was day-dreaming. However, Li decided to apply (申请) online the following weekend.
"Opportunity is everywhere. I"d like to keep my eyes open and catch the chance." she told herself. What
happened next was tests on health, hobbies and awareness (意识) of environmental protection. She passed all
of them very easily.
On December 14, Li Jun surprised her friends with an invitation letter from the program, the Pangaea
Young Explorer Selection Camp set up by South African explorer Mike Horn.
On January 11, Li left for Switzerland, with several newly bought ski-suits in her suitcase. Over the
next week, she and 15 other teenagers from around the world took part in exciting training and lessons. They
took day-trips up the Alps to an altitude (纬度) of 3,200 meters, went sledging (滑雪橇) at night using modern
equipment. They were also encouraged to complete difficult journeys up mountains, down hills, and through
forests.
Because of her performance during the training, Li was chosen as one of the eight young explorers to
join Mike Horn in the South Island of New Zealand in May. She will write for the newspaper and share her fun
experiences there with readers.
B. They didn"t think it was true.
C. They all wanted to get the chance.
D. They had no idea of the news.
