As he started to make out the ticket, the woman behind the wheel said proudly,"Before you go any further, young man, I think you should know that the mayor of this city is a good friend of mine." The officer did not say a word, but kept writing."I am also a friend of chief of police Barens," continued the woman, getting more angry each moment, Still he kept on writing.

| Once there was a young woman who didn"t like her job. Every day when she came home from work, she told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. "Leave that job," her husband told her. "Oh, I will," she said."But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave." And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children."Leave that job", her grandchildren told her."Oh, I will," she said."But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I can"t just yet." I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store, moaning and groaning in the sun."Why is your dog acting that way?" a customer asked the store owner." Oh", answered the man,"He"s lying on a nail." "Well, why doesn"t he move?""Because it"s not hurting him bad enough." That"s true for people, too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But we are wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our self-esteem, kills our passion or destroys our dreams. Wilbur Wright once commented,"We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn"t wait to get back to work. And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion, too." They get excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things don"t change as they sometimes will, they refuse to let environment hijack their self-esteem, passion or dreams. | |||

| Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path. And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. "We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts," said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal"s worst affected area . This is West Africa"s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suf-fering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest. Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. "We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (***虫剂 ), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster," said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania. Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN"s Food and Agricul-ture Organization warned. | |||

| 2. The story is mainly about ______. | |||
| A. West Africa"s united effort in fighting a disaster B. the difficulty in controlling locusts C. how locusts caused great damage to West Africa D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa | |||
| 3. The locust disaster ______. | |||
| A. would be even more serious in Asia B. is (was)out of control C. affected only the warning areas D. can not be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas | |||
| 4. Which of the following is WRONG ? | |||
| A. Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort. B. Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan. C.
