As I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning, too.The sound of a coin dropping on the ground is an attention-getter. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores(忽视) the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.We are circled by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a police car comes ringing along the street.When Im in New York, Im a New Yorker. I dont turn either.At home in my little town in Connecticut(康涅狄格州), its different. The distant ringing of a police car brings me to my feet if Im in bed.Its the quietest sounds that the most effect on us, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away though three closed doors. How come I never hear the sounds in the daytime?Im quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are.Ive turned against whistling(吹口哨), for instance. I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker. But lately, Ive been connecting the whistler with a nervous person making noise.The tapping(轻敲) of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound tome. I often like the sound of what l write better than the looks of it. But whatever sounds there will be, and whether we love them or not, we cant break away from them in our life.（1）The sound of a coin dropping makes people .A . think of getting richB . look at each otherC . pay attention to itD . stop crossing the street（2）People in New York .A . dont pay attention to the ringing of a police CarB . sleep early at nightC . are attracted by soundsD . dont hear loud noises（3）The writer doesnt like whistling because .A . he is tired of itB . he used to be happierC . it lets him think of a nervous man making noisesD . he doesnt like workers（4）The writer .A . sleeps next to the windowB . comes from a small town in ConnecticutC . is interested in the ringing of a police carD . 1ikes to try find dropped coins（5）How does the writer feel about sounds in general?A .

He believes they are part of our life.3. （4分） Britains smallest school was closed down because its only pupil failed to turn up for class, a famous Britain newspaper reported in May.The newspaper said the six-year-old girls parents were unhappy with a teacher who just got the new job to teach the only pupil.The school had been closed for the last nine months after its former（前任的）teacher retired and the only other pupil moved on to a secondary（中等的）school.
