day his wife was ill and he had no money. he had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. the next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. but it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. when his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. he bought some medicine and hurried to his village.on his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. he placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. at that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. he was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.the next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. having shown the baskets, an officer asked: “are these yours?” “yes, sir.” the farmer answered timidly(胆怯地)。”have you killed the man?” “no, no, sir.” the farmer said in a hurry.” when did you see the dead man?” ”about seven last evening.” “did you see who killed the man?” “no, sir.” the officer brought out a knife and asked, “have you seen it yet?” ”no, sir. the officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and send him into prison.that evening the officer went on trying .pointing to the knife, he asked again,” have you seen it yet?” ”yes, sir.” the officer was happy and asked,” when and where?” “i saw it here this afternoon, sir.”21the farmer decided to sell the vegetables to .a. buy some food for his familyb. go to see a doctorc. buy some medicine for his wife d. go to the cinema22the farmer didnt sell out his vegetables until the evening because .a. few

dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found a new recipe for success. according to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along smoothly. two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.however, it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression（侵略，攻击） and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. for example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk cat.whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. they can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. they can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.the significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. if cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.25some cats and dogs may fight when _.a. they are cold to each other b. they misunderstand each others signalsc. they look away from each other d. they are introduced at an early age26what is found surprising about cats and dogs?a. they eat and sleep together.b. they observe each others behaviors.c. they know something from each others voices.d. they learn to speak each others language.27it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.a. have common interests b. have a common body languagec. are less different than was thought d. are less intelligent than was expected28what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?a. we should know more about animals. b. we should live in peace with animals.c. we should learn more body languages. d. we should learn to live in harmony. cin my thirty years as a time management speaker, i have observed a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. time management is not necessarily working harder, but quicker and smarter. sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:start your day without a plan of action. without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. that just gets us nowhere faster. time management is doing the right things.work with a messy (凌乱不堪的) desk or work area. studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. thats seven and a half hours per week. if you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.dont take a lunch break. many people do not take a lunch break. they work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. after doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. a lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our energy back again.29the purpose of this passage is to _.a. show how to become a speaker. b. persuade us to get rid of time managementc. tell us to avoid time management mistakes d. explain the importance of time management30with a plan of action, you can _.a. work harder b. do the wrong things more rapidlyc. get nowhere faster d. avoid doing wrong things31working with a messy desk or work area, you will _.a. find the things you need easily b. waste a lot of timec. become a top manager d. save seven and a half hours per week32we may know from the passage that time management is about _. a. how to deal with a lunch break b. how to do right things quicker and smarter c. how to avoid doing the wrong things d. how to get the quality of sleepdcharlie vansant, a college student of athens, ohio, who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman

spotted the toyota camry（丰田凯美瑞）and used her daughters key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home without realizing that the car wasnt her daughters.when charlie vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. he first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldnt find a record of it, they took a theft report.the morning after anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the camry in the driveway wasnt hers. anderson said she was able to find vansants name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.when anderson told charlie the car was in her driveway, “it sounded really suspicious（可疑的）at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金) , ” said vansant. he eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. according to the police report, the case was closed “because of mistaken car identity”, and anderson wasnt charged.vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the “thief”. “her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition（点火装置）as well so high-five for toyota, i guess.” he said.33what does the underlined word “towed”
