test their skills in recognizing a suspect ( 嫌疑犯 ), the policeman showed the first blonde a picture
for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect
had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady
the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second blonde giggled,
flipped her hair, and said, "Ha! It"s easy to find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the
policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "This is your suspect, and how would you recognize
him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer." The third blonde looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM ... the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜)." The
policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn"t know himself if the suspect wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file." He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect"s file in his computer and returned with a beaming smile.
"Wow! I can"t believe it ... it"s TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How
were you able to make such a wise observation?" "That"s easy," the blonde replied, "he can"t wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"

comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton. Who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton
thought he had already which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an
ellipse.
Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by
scientist. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and
1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley
thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come
back again. It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would
happen in the future. He decided t
hat this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley"s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the com
et appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet been called Halley"s comet, in his honor.
B. by means of his own careful observation
C. by using the work of other scientists
D. by chance
B.1705
C. 1706
D.1707
B. the orbit of a comet
C. Newton and Halley
D. Halley and Halley
B. Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
C. Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician.
D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of an around.

large egg.
One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. 6 , however, the eagle was raised to be
a(n) 7 . Soon, the eagle believed he was 8 more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and
family, 9 his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one day, the eagle looked to
the skies

chickens do not soar."
The eagle 13 staring at his real family up above, 14 that he could be with them. Each time the

| I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother"s idea. She wanted me to "make something" of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition. With my load of ma  gazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There weretwo gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home. "How many did you sell, my boy?" my mother asked. "None." "Where did you go?" "The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues." "What did you do?" "Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post." "You just stood there?" "Didn"t sell a single one." "My God, Russell!" Uncle Allen put in, "Well, I"ve decided to take the Post." I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned. Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home. One day, I told my mother I"d changed my  mind. I didn"t want to make a success in the magazinebusiness. "If you think you can change your mind like this," she replied, "you"ll become a good-for-nothing." She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me. My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father"s plain workman"s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband"s people for true life and love. | |||
