And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed. 44 , he went reluctantly to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have 45 ?

Tom looked at the fence, which was long and high, feeling all enthusiasm leaving him. He dipped his brush into the whitewash before moving it along the top board of the fence. He knew other boys would arrive soon with all minds of interesting plans for this day. As walking past him, they would tease him for having to work on a beautiful Saturdaywhich burnt him like fire. He, putting his hands into his pockets and taking out all he owned with the expectation of letting someone paint, found nothing that could buy half an hour of freedom. At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea occurred to him, pouring a great bright light into his mind. He took up his brush and continued to work pleasantly with calm and quietness.Presently, Ben Rogers came in sightmunching an apple and making joyful noises like the sound of a riverboat as he walked along. Tom went on whitewashing, paying no attention to the steamboat. “Hello!” Ben said, “Im going swimming, but you cant go, can you?”No answer. Tom moved his brush gently along the fence and surveyed the result. Ben came nearer. Toms mouth watered for Bens apple while he kept painting the fence.Ben said, “Thats a lot of work, isnt it?”Tom turned suddenly saying “Here you are! Ben! I didnt notice you.” “Im going swimming,” Ben said. “Dont you wish you could go? Or would you rather work?”Tom said, “Work? What do you mean work?”“Isnt that work?”Tom continued painting and answered carelessly, “Maybe it is, and maybe it isnt. All I know is it suits Tom Sawyer.”“Do you mean that you enjoy it?”“I dont see why I oughtnt to enjoy it.”“Does a boy have a chance to paint a fence frequently” said Tom.Ben stopped munching his apple.Tom moved his brush back and forthstepped back to note the effectadded a little paint here and there. Ben watched every move, getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed1. After a short time, he said, “Tom, let me whitewash a little.”Tom seemed to be thinking for a moment before he said, “No, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. If it was the back fence, maybe you could do it. But this fence beside the street is where everybody can see it. It has to be done right.”“Oh, come on, let me try. Ill be careful. Listen, Tom. Ill give you part of my apple if you let me paint.”“No, Ben, Im afraid”“Ill give you all the apple!”Tom handed the brush to Ben with unwillingness on his face but alacrity in his heart. While the riverboat worked and sweated in the hot sun, Tom, an artist sat in the shade close by, munching his apple, and planning how he could trick more of the boys. Before long there were enough boys each of whom came along the street; stopped to laugh but soon begged to be allowed to paint. By the middle of the afternoon, Tom had got many treasures while the fence had had three layers of whitewash on it. If he hadnt run out of whitewash, he would have owned everything belonging to the boys in the village.Tom said to himself that the world was not so depressing after all. He had discovered a great law of human action: in order to make a man cover a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.56.

Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.64. According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam? A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.C. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.D. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.65. According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam? A. The business B. The advertiser C. The consumer D. The employee 66. What is the purpose of the text?A. To inform B. To educate C. To instruct D. To persuade（D）People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions and a new report published online in Current Bi
