thousand dollars, and here is the money.” as hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. he didnt know where the money came from and how to spend it. he said to himself, “i could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or i give up my work in the factory and do what id like to do: painting pictures. i could do that for a few weeks, but what would i do after that? i should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. if it were a little less money, i would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. if it were more, i could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. but its too much for one and too little for the other.”“here is the reading of your uncles will(遗嘱),” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. i must ask you to remember one point. your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”“yes, i see.

brown bear probably learned the trick while nudging (轻推) a door to get it to open.experts have a guess that the nudging was mistaken by the owners for knocking and that the bear, pleased by the result, repeated the trick.the loknar family from gerovo in western croatia said the bear had knocked at their door three times and they were now refusing to answer the door.we jumped out of the window as he came in through the door and went into the kitchen to take some food for the first time.” mum nevenka loknar told a reporter from a local newspaper. “i opened the door and saw him standing there and i didnt believe my eyes at first, then i ran for it as he walked in as if it was the most normal- thing in the world.”bears are a common thing in the woods around here, but no one has ever heard of a bear that knocks at the door.mum nevenka loknar said, “the bear is so intelligent. its incredible. weve tried to put up lots of obstacles to stop him coming in, like a wire fence but he still gets through. i wouldnt be surprised if he knew how to use wire cutters.”59according to experts in croatia, how did the bear learn the trick?a. by knocking at the door several times.b. by accident.c. by learning from the owner of a family.d. by imitation.60what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refers to?a. eating at the kitchen.b. knocking at the door. c. walking into the house. d. answering the door.61it is _ in gerovo that a bear knocks at the door.a. unusualb. a troubling problem c. commond. an exciting experience62mum nevenka loknar was surprised that the bear _.a. didnt attack her family b. knew how to use wire cuttersc. jumped across her wire fence three times d. was clever at getting through the obstaclesd february has long been a month of romance. with the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.on the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! this is what you see on valentines day, a day named after valentine who was a priest in the third century rome. when the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didnt allow marriage.but valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. when his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. while in prison, it is said that valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “from your valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of historys most romantic characters.nowadays, valentines day is also popular among chinese young people. some students are planning to make valentines cards for parents, teachers and friends. others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. the idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of st. valentine.63. why did the emperor in

interesting to celebrate valentines day in chinad. valentines day is also popular in china now66. the best title for this passage should be _.a. valentines dayb. a brave priestc. valentines day in chinad. a romantic manepeople from east asia tend to have more difficulty than those from europe in distinguishing facial expressions and a new report published online in current biology explains why. rachael jack, university of glasgow researcher, said that rather than scan evenly(均匀的) across a face as westerners do, easterners fix their attention on the eyes. we show that easterners and westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions, jack said. westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth. according to jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. as a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. the researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 western caucasian and 13 east asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. they compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. it turned out that easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did westerners. the cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions, jack said. our data suggests that whereas westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, easterners use the eyes more and mouth less. in short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. from here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, easterners and westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 67. what were the people asked to do in the study? a. to make a face at each other. b. to get their faces impressive.c. to classify (分类) some face pictures. d. to observe the researchers faces. 69. in comparison(比较) with westerners, easterners are likely to .a. do translation more succ
