The bet ended at 9:01 on Monday morning, but Benjamin Bareaux waited until his mother , Roslyn, handed him five 100-dollar bills in front of a gathering of newspapermen in the afternoon before switching on the TV. During the past year, he has filled his time with reading and his grades(分数)have improved from “satisfactory” to “very good”. (CHINA DAILY, Wednesday, March4, 1987)61. Who lost a bet to whom?A.

None of these disturbed me except one girl who sang softly to herself an old Russian folk song as she ran up to the room above. It was a sound of extraordinary sweetness , musical ,soft, unselfconscious and happy. I began to listen out for it, jump up from my table, and throw open the door to catch a glimpse of her as she passed , but I was always too late. I asked the people upstairs who she was, and described the beautiful sounds she made. They became rather reserved and exchanged glances and hesitatingly admitted it might be Sally. I gathered she was someone special, not to be discussed in the ordinary way, and became vaguely curious to meet her. But the last thing I wanted at that stage was to get involved with anybody. Id just come to the end of a rather painful friendship, and now I had work to do.One day, I came face to face with a girl on the landing. It was certainly her; whoever made that noise would look as she did. We stood and stared at each other too long for comfort. I broke the moment, and excusing myself, moved past her because it was too like the movies. I thought for some time of that long, silent stare, and laughed. She was tall and proud-looking, with a slight, round-shouldered look that made me breathless and I didnt know why.65.

Smallpox is caused by the variola virus. It spreads from one person to another when an infected person sneezes or coughs. People who become infected show signs of the disease within two weeks. They develop high body temperature, head and back aches and large raised area on the skin called sores. The disease can damage the brain and other body organs. Smallpox kills thirty percent of the people who get it . There is no treatment.A vaccine medicine that prevents smallpox ended the threat of the disease around the world in 1977.Now, American officials fear that terrorists may have small amounts of the virus. The National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases is supporting a study to see if a weakened smallpox vaccine can be effective against the disease.Sharon Frey(FRI) is the leading researcher of the study. She says the United States has no more than 20 million unit of smallpox vaccine. That is not enough to protect 285 million Americans from the virus. Scientists say making the vaccine weaker is a quickly way to expand the amount of vaccine that already exists.Doctor Frey and her team will test a weaker vaccine on more than 600 people at four medical centers in the United States.One group of people will get the full-strength smallpox vaccine. The second group will get the vaccine that is one-fifth as strong as the full-strength vaccine. The researchers will examine the people to see how many develop a reaction that means the vaccine is protecting them from smallpox. This reaction is a small raised area on the arm where the vaccine is given.Doctor Frey expects to know the results in two or three months. She says that any use of the weakened vaccine will be a temporary measure until new supplies of the smallpox vaccine are ready. That will take about one to two years.Researchers in the United States are beginning a study to see if a weaker version of an existing vaccine can protect people against the disease smallpox.69. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. The after shock of 9.11 terrorist attacks. B. The study of weaker smallpox vaccineC. How to control smallpox D. The weaker smallpox vaccine will come into use in two or three months.70. Which of the following is NOT the symptom(症状) when infected with the disease smallpox?A. Coughs or sneezes B. High body temperatureC. Head and back aches C. Large raised areas on the skin called sores71. Which of the following is the reason why the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease try to use the weakened smallpox vaccine.A. The existing smallpox vaccine costs too much .B. The existing smallpox vaccine has been no longer quite effective.C. They want to reduce the side effects that the existing smallpox brings to the infected people.D. American officials fear that terrorists may have small amounts of the virus and they use the weakened smallpox vaccine as a temporary measure until new supplies of the smallpox vaccine are ready.DDecision-thinking is not unlike poker-it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think. The mental process is similar. Naturally, this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are , by any standards, good thinkers.The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory. In particular, he showed that all games fall into two classes : there are what he called games of perfect information , games like chess where the players cant hide anything or play tricks: they dont win by chance, but by means of logic and skills. Then there are games of imperfect information, like poker in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse. Business, politics, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors which would even puzzle best pokers. But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance, and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess, not poker.72. The subject discussed in this text is _.A. the process of reaching decisions B. the difference between poker and chessC. the secret of making good business plans D. the value of information in winning games73. An important factor in a game of imperfect information is
