What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!” he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 - foot grizzly（灰熊）charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing. He ran even faster, so scared that tears were coming to his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw andraising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the atheist cried out “Oh my God!” Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky,“ You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I dont exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic （宇宙的）accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this difficulty? Am I to count you as a believer?” The atheist looked directly into the light. “It would be hypocritical（伪善的）of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian？”“Very well,” said the voice.The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed. And then the bear dropped his fight paw. brought both paws together. bowed his head and spoke, “Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful.”56.

To tell a real interesting story. B. To give practical advice.C. To convince readers of the existence of God. D. To entertain readers.BDont invite crime-take basic, sensible precautions. Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected. When you buy a lock, you buy time. The best prevention is delay and noise which could mean discovery.When you leave it, lock it! First of all, fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door. Secondly, use them ! If you have any ladders or tools, dont leave them lying about in the garden, lock them away. “Safe” or “secret” places for keys and valuables are not reliable - nine times out of ten, they are the first place a thief will look. When you move house. When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks, change them. You dont know who else may have keys. Never let strangers into your house. An official - looking cap is not enough, ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully - if you are still not satisfied, dont let the person in. Valuables need special protection Valuables should really be given special protection - preferably by leaving them with your bank. A small security safe works too, but not to the most determined burglar. It is also important to keep an up - to - date list of valuables and their descriptions. In the case of fine art, paintings, or jewelry, color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen. Enter the details on the back of the pictures. But dont keep such documents in your house, keep them at the hank or with your insurance company. Going on holiday? Dont talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public. Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back. Operate a “Good Neighbor” program to ensure that mail is taken in, the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on. Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away. Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble. Dont leave cash or valuables in the housetake them with you or put them in the bank59How should you deal with your ladders or tools? AYou should leave them in the yard BYou should put them in the safe place and lock the door CYou should lean them against the tree in the yard DYou should take them apart60When moving into a new house，you are supposed to_ Astop using the original lock Bbuy a safe Cnever let officials into your house unless he wears an official cap Dstay away from strangers61In case of your jewelry being stolen，you should do the following Except_ Ataking a color photo of it Bkeep them at the bank Ckeep the picture in your house Dkeep them with your insurance company62When you are away for holidays，you_ Ashould cancel your mail Bshouldnt leave your keys to your neighbors Cshouldnt make it known that your home is empty Dshould ask the police to check your house regularlyC According to new research，there could be a social hierarchy（等级）attached to where people stand in the liftMore senior men stand at the back，young men in the middle and women of all ages at the front Most people know that awkward feeling when you shuffle（拖着鞋走）into an elevator with other people and try not to make eye contact But new research suggests it may be down to a subconscious power struggle being played out as you make your way up or downA study found that people decide where they stand based on a micro social hierarchy，established within seconds of entering the lift Rebekah Rousi，a PhDstudent in cognitive science，conducted all ethnographic study of elevator behaviour in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide，Australia As part of her research，she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings，and discovered there was an established order to where people tended to stand In a blog for Ethnography Matters，she writes that more senior men seemed to direct themselves towards the back of the elevator cabins She said，“In front of them were younger men，and in front of them were women of all ages” She also noticed there was a difference in where people directed their gaze half way through the ride Men watched the monitors，looked in the side minors（in one building）to see themselves，and in the door mirrors（of the other building）to also watch others Women would watch the monitors and avoid eye contact with other users（unless in conversation）and the mirrors，she writesThe doctorate student concluded it could be that people who are shyer stand toward the front，where they cant see other passengers，whereas bolder people stand in the back，where they have a view of everyone else63According to the passage，where do women likes to stand in the lift? AAt the back BAt the front CIn the middle DOn the right64What causes people to feel uncomfortable when entering the an elevator?
