| A man accused of failing to return more than 700 children"s books to five different libraries in the county was released from prison after a book publisher agreed to post his bond (保释金) of $1,000.

He continued, "Books are people, too! They talk to you,they take care of you, and they enrich you with wisdom,humor and love. A book is a guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I dusted them with a soft clean cloth. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some flesh air." "Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends, My books were happy books. You could tell just by looking at them. Now they"re all back in the libraries, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids I can hear them calling me. I need to rescue them. Excuse me.

| Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired-maybe it hadn"t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks. Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, "Oh, my God, she fell in!" Frank didn"t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. "No! Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him. She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station. It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness (知觉), felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse. Lisa thought she"d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn"t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in. Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die," she explained. | |||
| 1. What was the most probable cause for Lisa"s weakness? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. She had run a long way. B. She felt hot in the subway. C. She had done a lot of work. D. She had given blood the night before. | |||
| 2. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. Because they would miss their train. B. Because he didn"t see the train coming. C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift. D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him. | |||
| 3. When did Lisa become conscious again? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. When the train was leaving. B. After she was back on the platform. C. After the police and fire officials came. D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head. | |||
| 4. The passage is intended to _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. warn us of the danger in the subway B. show us how to save people in the subway C. tell us about a subway rescue D. report a traffic accident | |||

| I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Since I work from 9 o"clock to 5:30 pm, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip-so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets. | |||
| 1. The writer is probably ______. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. worker B. a college teacher C. manager of a company D. a clerk | |||
| 2. He learned ______ that there would be a concert last Friday. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. from his friends B. from one of his colleagues C. over the radio D. from the newspaper | |||
| 3. He could go and buy the ticket ______. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. any day before work hours B. both before and after work hours C. only during lunch time D. on Saturday and Sunday | |||
| 4. The word "relieved" in the last two sentences may best be replaced by "______". | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. surprised B. pleased C. puzzled D. sorry | |||
| 5. The story is about ______. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. a good concert B. someone enjoying a good concert C. someone trying to buy concert tickets for his friends D. someone"s disappointment at not being able to go to the concert |
