ait was monday. mrs. smiths dog was hungry , but there was not any meat in the house.considering that there was no better way. mrs. smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it：“give my dog half a pound of meat. ”then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently：“take this to the butcher and hes going to give you your lunch today.”holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butchers. it gave the paper to the butcher. the butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the ladys handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. the dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.at noon, the dog came to the shop again. it gave the butcher a piece of paper again. after reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.the next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. and as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. this time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.but, the dog came again at four oclock. and the same thing happened once again. to the butchers more surprise, it came for the third time at six oclock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. the butcher felt a bit puzzled . he said to himself, this is a small dog. why does mrs. smith give it so much meat to eat today？”looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it！ 54、at the end of the story, youll find that .a、the dog was clever enough to write on the paperb、the dog dared not go to the butchers any morec、the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dogd、the butcher found himself cheated by the clever animal b an 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor to get checked out to make sure nothing was wrong with them.when they arrived at the doctors, they explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. after checking the couple out, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might want to start writing things down and make notes to help them remember things. the couple thanked the doctor and left.later that night, while watching tv, the man got up from his chair and his wife asked, “where are you going?”he replied, “to the kitchen.”she asked, “will you get me a cup of ice cream?”he replied, “sure.”she then asked him, “dont you think you should write it down so you can remember it?”he said, “no, i can remember that.”she then said, “well, i would also like some strawberries on top. you had better write that down because i know youll forget that.”he said, “i can remember that. you want a cup of ice cream with strawberries.”she replied, “well, i also would like some whipped cream on top. i know you will forget that so youd better write it down.”with anger in his voice, he said, “i dont need to write that down! i can remember that.” he then went into the kitchen.after about 20 minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. she stared at the plate for a moment and said angrily, “i told you to write it down! you forgot my bread!”58. from the passage we can infer that the old couple _.a. still had something wrong with their memory after seeing the doctorb. had poor health, so they went to see their doctorc. obeyed their doctors advice and carried it out successfullyd. got their memory improved after seeing the doctor c today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motor-way. but still there is a danger that grows every year. airliners get larger and larger. some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. and the air itself becomes more and more crowded. if one large airliner struck into another in midair, 600 lives could be lost. from the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. the air traffic controllers around a busy airport like london-heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. not all of them actually land at the airport. any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident. recently such a disaster almost happened. two large jets were flying towards the airport. one was carrying 69 passengers from toronto, the other 176 passengers from chicago. an air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. he ordered one to turn to the right and to climbbut he made a mistake. he ordered the wrong plane to do this. so, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. they avoided (避免) each other by the smallest part of a second. the distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. this is an example of the danger that grows every year. 62. the example in the passage is to show that _a. air traffic controllers are often carelessb. air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidentsc. it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidentsd. two planes should not fly too close to each other dit was the afternoon of december 24, the day before christmas, and as the newest doctor in our office, i had to work. the only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow i was dating(约会)a dozen long-stemmed red roses. as i was cleaning my office, i was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. as i stepped out, i noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. nervously, she explained that her husbanda prisoner in a nearby prisonwas my next patient. she told me she wasnt allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. her request was for me to let the boys father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before i called him for his appointment（约见）. since my schedule wasnt full, i agreed. after all, it was christmas eve. a short time later, her husband arrivedwith chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. the womans tired face lit up like our little christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. i kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. after almost an hour, i called the prisoner back to my office. the patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. i wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. i tried to make him as comfortable as possible.at the end of the appointment, i wished him a merry christmasa difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. he smiled and thanked me. he also said he felt saddened by the fact that he hadnt been able to get his wife anything for christmas. on hearing this, i was inspired with a wonderful idea.ill never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. im not sure who experienced the most joythe husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.63.what can be inferred from the first paragraph?a. the writer was a newcomer to her office. b. a
