it doesnt seem fair. henry felt ashamed at first. but as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. he began to find himself unable to sleep. he should be by that window -and that thought now controlled his life.late one night, as he lay looking at the top of the room. alan began to cough. he was choking(窒息的). henry watched in the dark room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. in less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. now, there was only silence-deathly silence.as soon as it seemed suitable, henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. the nurse was happy to make the switch(交换)and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. he looked out, but faced a black wall.48. what finally happened to alan?

a. kind-hearted and imaginative.b. inactive and humorous. c. impatient and funny.d. cold-hearted and selfish.ca situation in which a student is troubled by his parents asking him to go into a job area that makes good money but he doesnt want to go into, is a bad situation. the question is whether he should go into this job or not. to start with, you need to go for what is best for you, even if there would be some negative(消极的)results. you cant be happy if you dont make decisions that are right for you. if you do not make your own decisions and make decisions that will be good for you, your life would be a big lie to yourself, which is not a sign that you have done something you wanted to do.living a lie would not be a very good life. the truth is much better than living a lie. if your whole life is a lie, then it is not a very beautiful life at all. in the song lyin eyes, the woman is living a lie by pretending(假装)she loves the old man, while in reality she was just in it for money. as a result, her life is miserable(悲惨的) and a big lie. and finally, money cannot buy happiness. a good example of this is also from the song lyin eyes. the only reason why the woman married the old man was for the money and gifts she would receive. this results in her life are not happy at all. this just goes to show that no matter how much money you have, your life still might not be happy. it takes a lot more than a bunch of green paper to make your life a good one. in conclusion, doing what you want is best. if you dont do what you want to, you wont be happy with your life. 51. what is the passage mainly about? a. parents should not ask their children to live a lie.b. there is something more important than money in life.c. young people should make their own career decisions.d. young people are happy to make their own decisions.52. the underlined part a bunch of green paper in paragraph 4 refers to(指) _. a. giftsb. dreamsc. imaginationd. money53. which of the following arguments is not used to support the writers conclusion? a. its best to do what you want.b. you need to make your own decisions. c. money doesnt mean happiness.d. living a lie would not be good.d“choo, choo!” here comes the chunnel train. get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation(交通)system. this is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through and not a real form of transportation.the chunnel is really the english familiar name for the channel tunnel. in french, it is called le tunnel sous la manche. it is a rail tunnel under the english channel at the straits(海峡)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 while 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 make 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 traveller trains. the small inner one is a guidance train. the guidance train is not used for transportation. each track (=a line or route along which something travels or moves) is exactly parallel(平行)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(轮渡)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.54. the channel tunnel links(连接) _ with _. a. london; parisb. cheriton; sangatte c. lille; brusselsd. dover; kent55. which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the tunnels in the chunnel?
