After winning a brief tug-of-war over the sports bag, the 27-year-old tourist ran into a nearby police station with the thief in hot pursuit. The thief “realized too late he had run straight into the long arm of the law,” police spokeswoman Wilma Verheij said of the incident, which took place Tuesday. After it dawned on the thief, a 28-year-old man whose identity was not released, that he was in the middle of a police station, he tried to run away again. But he was quickly caught by officers and arrested, Verheij said. Liz Taylor remains hospitalized LOS ANGELESHeart trouble is keeping Elizabeth Taylor hospitalized in Los Angeles for some time, but her publicist says the 78-year-old actress is OK and has been visiting with family and friends. Taylor spokeswoman Sally Morrison said in a statement Tuesday that the two-time Oscar winner is comfortable at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and there has been steady improvement in her condition since she was admitted last week. Taylor is being treated for symptoms of heart failure, a condition she revealed in November 2004. “Her medical team is satisfied by her progress to date, and it is hoped and expected that this will continue over the next few days. For now, she will remain under their care in the hospital for continued monitoring, Morrison said. Friends and fans around the world should be convinced that Elizabeth Taylor is in good hands and receiving the best possible care from her skilled and devoted doctors and nurses. Morrison described Taylors condition as stable but offered no other details. Japan halts (暂停) whale hunt after chase by protesters TOKYOJapan has halted its annual Antarctic whale hunt following protests from a campaign group. Activists from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a US-based environmental group, have been chasing the Japanese fishing ship. Commercial whaling was banned in 1986 but Japan uses a regulation permitting hunting for scientific research. Iceland and Norway have claimed official objections to the ban and continue to hunt commercially. Putting safety as a priority, the ship has halted scientific whaling for now. We are currently considering what to do, Tatsuya Nakaoku, an official at the fisheries agency, told Reuters news agency. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society says one of its boats has been blocking the ship loading ramp (斜梯), preventing any hunted whales from being loaded on to the ship. Every whale saved is a victory to us, so weve gotten a lot of victories down here this year, Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson told Reuters news agency by satellite phone from the Steve Irwin ship. 56. The underlined part the long arm of the law refers to _ in Amsterdam. A. a travel agency B. a policeman C. a police station D. a police spokeswoman 57. What can we know about Elizabeth Taylor from the news? A. She has been suffering from heart illness for some years. B. She will go back home in a day or two. C. She is feeling quite well in hospital. D. She will receive her Oscar Award in the hospital. 58. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Japanese fishing ships go to the Antarctic for wha1e hunt every year. B. Iceland and Norway will not stop hunting whales. C. Commercial whale hunt has been banned for about twenty-five years. D. Japan will not hunt whales any more. BChoo, Choo! Here comes the Chunnel train. Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through and not an actual form of transportation. The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French, it is called le tunnel sous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, England with Sangatte in northern France. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world. Did you know that the British and the French had a race whi1e they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15,000 workers over seven years to dig the tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994.The completed Chunnel cost about $ 21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular. There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel. The two outside ones are the passenger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation. Each track is exactly parallel to each other. There are four different train systems in the Chunnel. The Eurostar is a high speed passenger service that connects London, Paris, Brussels, and Lille. The Eurotunnel shuttle is a rail ferry service. These shuttles carry cars and vans. These are railcars that allow drivers to drive their vehicles on and off. There are also two Eurotunnel goods service trains. Now you know more about the Chunnel. Everybody off, this is the last stop. 59. The Channel Tunnel, links _ with _. A. London; Paris B. Cheriton; Sangatte C. Lille; Brussels D. Dover; Kent 60. Which of the following shows the structure of the tunnels in the Chunnel? 61. The Eurotunnel shuttle is intended to carry _. A. passengersB. drivers and their vehicles C. goods D. staff members of the Chunnel 62. The text can most probably be _. A. found in a guidebook B. read in a magazine C. broadcast on a train D. heard in a railway station COnce many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero. That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someones life? Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read a person who does something brave. As I read on, it also said a person who is good and noble.”That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed me by, I say, How are you today? Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time lets say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time. Having been near the end of my rope, after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero. The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become heroes. Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life, just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor. 63. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. Why Should You Be A Hero? B. What Exactly Is A Hero? C. I Am A Hero D. Everyone Is A Hero 64. The underlined word courtesy in Paragraph 4 means the behavior that is _.A. both polite and respectful B. both brave and fearless C. both thoughtful and considerate D. both cute and kind 65. The underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refers to _.A. the wonderful card the writer received B. the action of sending the card C. the fact that the sender saved the writer D. the fact that the sender was a true friend 66. According to this passage, which of the following can be considered as the behavior of a hero? A. Holding a door open for someone. B. Sending someone a wonderful card. C. Keeping writing many stories for children. D. Being kind to someone who has a hard time. DI
