They hit one another hard. At the start they only _41_ with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isnt_42_ dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from _43_moving trains, who crash cars of even _44_ fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called _45_. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not _46_ on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and _47_. Often a stuntman s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is blown up in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get _48_ injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a _49_ for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls, too.

So it is only natural that most moms and dads will try just about anythingincluding spending a lot of moneyto keep an attack at _41_. Trouble is, more than half of parents are trying strategies that simply dont work and wasting hundreds of dollars in the_42_. According to Dr. Michael Cabana, a pediatrician at the University of Michigans C.S.

The polar ice caps are melting. One in eight bird species are extinct. Air, water, and ground pollutants are 41 major population centersBut according to a recently 42 book, there is “a secret plan to save the Earth.” This plan is being carried out by a group of “eco barons.”Who are “eco barons” then? They are a band of visionaries (有远见的人) some of the worlds wealthiest businessmen who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth. These people, both men and women, are the modern-day heroic counterparts (同等分量的人) to the evil 19th century robber masters who 45 set the world on the path to environmental destruction.Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are among the eco businessmen. These two wise investors, who regularly exchange places at the top of Forbes magazines annual list of world billionaires, have spent some of their 46 power on different areas. Gates has long sponsored 47 fuels such as oil from algae (藻类), while in Buffets case, its wind power and electric cars.Douglas Tompkins, the founder of the North Face and Esprit clothing lines, has also embraced environmentalism.

These shelters will provide food, shower 42 and accommodation. They will be open to receive new arrivals around the clock. To help the homeless through winter safe and sound is the bottom line for a 43 city. The life of a homeless person is not something that can be done away within several days. Almost every year, vagrants somewhere freeze to death, so to make special arrangements for them during winter as Shanghai does is a good way to 44 tragedy.Apart from government resources, 45 resources have been assembled to join in the aid in the city. In bus and railway station, subway lanes, ports and bridge caves where the homeless tend to 46 , inspecting will be more frequent and widespread. For those who refuse to be helped, cold-proof necessities and information on aid 47 will be offered. Communities will offer aid consultation while police stations and urban management teams are also prepared to help Community volunteers, especially the elderly, will go out to the streets on inspection and help.In Shanghai, the most populous city in China, can 48 this level, so can other cities, especially cities in north China, where the winter is much colder than in Shanghai. The government should pay greater attention to the poor and sick. Skyscrapers show a citys economic level but care for the weak can 49 a citys civilization level.41. H 42. E 43. D 44. A 45. C 46.

Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will disagree with the referee (裁判). “He was out of bounds when he caught the pass,” says one fan. Another says, “Youre _42_.

These witnesses didnt play _47_ on them!What can we do to keep error tominimum? First of all, dont let your emotions _48_ with your vision. Dont see something because you want to see it. Secondly, try to stay relaxed. If you are _49_, you are likely to see red when the color is blue. And finally, it helps to make notes of what you see. Dont rely on your memory alone.

We say to ourselves, I know I was there; I saw it happen and that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the evidence of our eyes?Take competitive sports for example. Most fans at sports events are always controlled by emotion, which leads to the fact that they will not agree with each other and even disagree with the referee although they watch the same game. He was out of bounds when he caught the pass, says one fan. Another says, Youre crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind. The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not convincedbecause they were there!Its the same story in the courtroom. Trial (审判) procedure absolutely depends on witnesses giving sworn testimony （证词）. But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand witnesses were asked to describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that, on the average, the witnesses overestimated the mans height by five inches, his age by eight years, and gave the wrong hair colour in 83 percent of the cases. These witnesses didnt play tricks on them!What can we do to keep error to minimum? Above all, dont let your emotions interfere with your vision. Dont see something because you want to see it. Another solution to the problem would, of course, be to note down what you see. Dont rely on your memory alone. Take pictures, make recordings, and use any other aid, which will help a lot to reduce distortion. One more solution is also needed: The error is not likely to be minimized until the people involved stay relaxed. If you are tense, you are very likely to see red when the colour is blue.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. The reason why fans disagree with each other at sports events is that few of them_.79. The word them in Para.3 refers to_.80. What are the other two solutions to keeping visual error to minimum besides not letting your emotions interfere with your vision?81. It can be inferred from the passage that the author takes sports events and courtroom as examples in order to illustrate _.78. are not controlled by emotion79. the mans height, age and hair colour80. Nothing down what you see and staying relaxed.81.

The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different 41 . Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the 42 of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales It is the 43 of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel 44 with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel 45 or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work, and how design has 46 the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their 47 .In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to 48 the publics growing interest in the field with new
