At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to
go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn"t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all
her luggage, but she couldn"t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!
Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas (西班牙货币单位), and she
would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and
some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food;
she"d just have breakfast each day. That was all right, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.
For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath.
When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn"t well. In fact, her holiday wasn"t
bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper
isn"t very much.
Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel
restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, "But didn"t
you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!" | | 1. "A package trip" probably means ____. | A. a free trip

period with Olga, her personal trainer. Lars, her secretary, would be waiting in the study and at 10:00 a. m.,
Lucy would be there. At noon, Lucy would drive to meet her old friends. As Lucy returned at 4:55 p. m., Olga
would have already set up the massage (按摩) table.
However, today was a little different: Lucy took her diamond necklace to Manhattan for a good clean. She
threw it into her purse and left.
On the way, she sensed she was being followed. Then as she joined the shoppers, Lucy felt a pull. Within
a second, a man on skates (冰鞋) sailed past her, grabbing her purse.
Lucy went to the police station and returned home an hour late. The ice in the welcome-home cocktail (鸡
尾酒) Lars had mixed had already melted. Olga hurriedly set up the massage table and mixed the oils.
Two hours later, Lucy lay in bed, lost in thought.
"It was an inside job. The person obviously knew I was carrying that necklace cleaned."
"Guido"s cousin owns an in-line skating store in Manhattan."
"I always arrived home at 4:45 p. m. and Olga was always ready with the table set up and the oils ready.
But today, Olga didn"t prepare the massage for me until I walked through the door. Why? Because she knew

number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet.
Due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have
potholes and are torn-up (磨损的). Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets
in many places.
Where I live, there has been a law in place since October l, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required
to wear helmets. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many
years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.
One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a
nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness. When he was just awakening,
a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading
up to his fall. Later that day, a CAT scan revealed that he had a concussion(脑震荡). That evening, while my
dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization.
If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when
my dad and I go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone
should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle. | | 1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE? | A. Young men needn"t wear helmets.
B. The writer"s father didn"t wear a helmet until the writer bought him one.

D. Accidents do not happen to the best cyclists. | | 2. In the writer"s opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets? | A. Because a law requires them to do so.
B. Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.
C. Because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets.
D. Because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them. | | 3. The underlined part "we both came to a shocking realization" in Paragraph means "____". | A. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet
B. we were shocked to see the broken helmet
C. we realized that young people needn"t wear helmets
D. only old people should wear helmets | | 4. From the accident that happened to the writer"s dad, we can infer that ____. | A. the cyclists should follow the law
B. his dad was not worried about this accident
C. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets
D. everyone should care about life |
