and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen
and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the
fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I"d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of
the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other
things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn"t seen
another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced
in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the
side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them-brown,
muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn"t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: "Look!", but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.
They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the
red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
"Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn"t you wake me up?"
"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."
"Are you sure you didn"t dream it?"
"You were the one who was sleeping!"
"Typical, he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
B. complained about the poor living conditions
C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most
D. recorded their experiences in different ways
B. Wild horses.
C. Eye-catching locals.

than lectures. My dad"s 1 shines through all my life.
Old age hasn"t 2 him, mainly because he doesn"t think almost-80 is old. He had ever trained for a

My father was born in 1933. His childhood took a 11 at the beginning of World War Ⅱ : His

I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily. 1 to buy a mountain bike, she"d
been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to earn extra money.
By Thanksgiving , she had collected only $49. I said, " You 2 have your pick from my bicycle
3 ". "Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old. " She was right. All my girls" bikes were 1950s models , not the kind a kid today would 4 choose.
As Christmas 5 near, Emily and I went bike shopping . As we left one store, she 6 a Salvation
Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. "Can we give something, Daddy?" She asked. "Sorry, Em,

Throughout December, Emily continued to work hard. Then one day, she made a 8 announcement. "You know all the money I"ve been saving?" she said hesitantly. "I"m going to give it to the poor people.
" So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $58 to a volunteer who was
really very 9 .
10 by Emily"s selflessness, I decided to contribute 11 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was
collecting used bikes for poor children. 12 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it
seemed as if a second bike took on a glow. Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I
couldn"t 13 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 14 the bikes, the car dealer said, "You"re making two kids very 15 , sir . Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we"re 16

front of her while a groomer (美容师) tried to trim (修剪) its claws.
Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland
and Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis (硬
化症), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, " I would like
to buy her a new dog."
A story about the death of Crouch"s pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Macomb Daily.
Crouch said a man sat on the dog to trim its nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.
Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said
she was ignored. "If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog
and physically stopped her, but I can"t do that." Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally
helped Crouch by picking up things for her.
"This case is absolute animal abuse ( 虐待)," Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland
County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said.
People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebecca Amett
of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue, in Roseville, said, "We have puppies to donate … and want to help
the young woman who lost her service dog."
"When Gooch was with me, I was happy," Crouch said, "I think I can be happy again but no animal
can replace Gooch. There"s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that
can bring me joy again."
B. A cruel groomer killed a disabled woman"s dog.
C. People"s love for a disabled woman who lost her dog.
D. Disabled woman loves to have the dog as company.
B. give their angry voice to the groomer.
C. offer a cure for Crouch"s disease.
D. tell Crouch how to punish the groomer.
B. the groomer sat on the dog with another man.
C. the dog was wearing a collar.
D. the groomer didn"t know how to trim the dog"s nails
B. Crouch must be sad after losing her dog.
C. Crouch has accepted another dog from a stranger.
D. Crouch can live well without a dog"s company.
woman whose fight with her attacker was seen on webcam (摄像头) by her boyfriend in China. Police
refused to release any details about the crime or its possible motive.
The body of York University student Liu Qian, 23, of Beijing, was found Friday in her apartment in
Toronto a few hours after her boyfriend witnessed the attack, police said.
She was found undressed from the waist down but there were no obvious signs of sexual attack or
trauma (创伤) severe enough to kill her. Police say it may be weeks before the results of an autopsy (尸
体解剖) are known.
Brian Dickson, 29, stood before the court in a wrinkled white shirt and blue jeans as a charge of
first- degree murder was read out. He did not enter a plea. His case was held over until April 26.
Dickson was arrested Wednesday. Police only announced his name and his age and asked the media
not to publish any photos of Dickson, saying it could compromise the investigation. Toronto police spokesman Tony Vella declined to respond to the request further.
Liu"s father, Liu Jianhui, who arrived from China after being informed of his daughter"s death, thanked
authorities for their quick action.
"I sincerely thank the people concerned with my daughter"s case," he told reporters after the arrest.
"Our daughter was studying very hard."
Police released no motive or details about Dickson, but one friend described the Toronto man as an
aspiring actor.
Patricia Tomasi, a friend of Dickson"s, told The Associated Press that she acted in a play at a local
theater in Toronto with Dickson in 2007.
"He doesn"t seem like the type but that"s what they always say," Tomasi said. "He"s tall with boyish
good looks. I don"t know much about him except that he wanted to be an actor."
Dickson attended York University where he studied global politics, but did not earn a degree from
there.
He later worked for the Atlantic Council of Canada (ACC), where he served as an assistant to the
president Juilie Lindhout. According to his biography on a newsletter from the Atlantic Council of
Canada, Dickson has also been a running instructor and has been involved with Developments in
Literacy, a Pakistani aid organization that raises money for children in Pakistan.
A statement from the Atlantic Council of Canada on Thursday said it was not council policy to
comment on staff, but it confirmed that Dickson had been an intern(实习生) with the council from
September 29, 2008, until March 27, 2009.
Liu was chatting with her boyfriend, Meng Xianchao, by webcam at about 1 am. Friday when a man
knocked on the door, police said.
Meng reported seeing a struggle break out between the two before Liu"s webcam was shut off. Meng
contacted other friends in Toronto who in turn called police.
The victim"s father, Liu Jianhui, said his daughter studied at Beijing City University before moving to
Canada, where she met Meng.
Liu Qian"s laptop computer, webcam and mobile phone were taken from the apartment the night of
the attack, police said. Police said the online chat was on a live streaming camera and was not recorded,
though investigators were trying to figure out if there was any way they could recover it.
York University, whose campus is located near one of Toronto"s rougher neighborhoods, is one of
Canada"s largest universities with more than 53,000 undergraduate and graduate students. About 3,200
of York"s students come from more than 150 foreign countries, the university"s website says.
B. Dickson was a graduate of York University where he studied global politics.
C. The passage does not mention the reason why Dickson murdered Liu Qian.
D. ACC wouldn"t make any comments on staff even if they committed a crime.
B. a gifted actor
C. a common actor
D. an ambitious actor
B. Not intending to give out any information about Dickson.
C. Not confirming whether Dickson had killed Liu Qian.
D. Wanting to protect their citizen for fear of losing face.
B. Seeing the struggle, Meng contacted Toronto police.
C. Dickson had no bad records before the murder.
D. Investigators could recover the chat record online.

opened, Cindy was 2 by calls not for her. Since she had the same phone number for years, she felt
that she should 3 the hotel management to change its number. 4 , the management refused. The
phone company was not 5 , either. It argued that a number was a number, and the fact that a customer
was getting someone else"s 6 twenty-four hours a day didn"t make it 7 .
After her request fell on deaf ears, Cindy decided to take 8 into her own hands. At 9 o"clock the
phone rang. Someone from Memphis was calling the hotel and 9 a room for the following Tuesday.
Cindy said, "No 10 . How many nights?"
A few hours later a secretary called and said that she wanted a suite (套房) 11 two bedrooms for a
week. Cindy replied that the Presidential Suite was 12 for $600 a night. The secretary said that she
would 13 it.
The next day was a 14 one for Cindy. In the morning, she booked a car producer"s conference
for Memorial Day weekend. Her biggest 15 came in the afternoon-a mother called to book the ballroom
for her daughter"s wedding in June. Cindy hesitated for a while, but still 16 the woman that it would be
no problem.

reunions (聚会) and parties, and were all 18 that there were no such events.
Soon after, she read in a 19 that the hotel might go bankrupt (***).Her phone rang, and a manager
from Marriott said, "We"re prepared to 20 you $2 million for the hotel." Cindy replied, "We"ll take it,
but only if you change the telephone number."
