Thats what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin.Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. He was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They expected to find out that he needed sleep of some kind. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair(摇椅) and read some news papers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. Herpin offered the only probable explanation of his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born.56. The point of this story is that _.A. We neednt feel surprised to find someone who doesnt sleepB. one person was found who actually didnt need any sleepC. everyone needs some rest to stay aliveD. not sleeping may help one to live longer57. After watching him closely, the doctors believed that Al Herpin _.A. needed some kind of sleep B. slept while one was watchingC. needed no sleep at all D. nearly slept in a rocking chair58. One suggested explanation of Herpins sleeplessness was _.A. his old age B. his not having a bedC. his magnificent physical conditionD. his mothers injury while carrying him59.The writer of the story obviously thinks that Al Herpins sleeplessness _.A. could be cured B. could be explainedC. was healthful D. was uncommon BHong Kong, major commercial center for Asia, and with a population which has grown at an alarming rate to over 5 million, is a city highly dependent on mass (大量的, 大规模的) transit of all sorts, both local and long distance. An ordinary Hong Kong worker or businessman, going about his daily activities, simply must use transportation at one time or another. Because Hong Kong is in two parts, Kowloon, on the mainland side, and Hong Kong, the island, with Hong Kongs harbor in between Hong Kongs mass transit systems, in addition to going over land they must also cross water. Going from home to work, or going shopping from one side of the harbor to the other, the Hong Kong resident has three choices. One way is to take a bus which will cross the harbor through an under water traffic tunnel moving slowly through bumper- to-bumper (一辆接一辆) trafficAnother way is by ferry boat , a pleasant ride which crosses the harbor in from seven to fifteen minutes. But by far the fastest way of crossing the harbor is the newly built underground electric railway, the Hong Kong Metro(地铁). If one gets on the train in the Central District,the commercial area of Hong Kong on the island side, he can speed across the harbor in an astonishing three minutes. On the other side of the harbor the railway continues, snaking back and forth through the outlying districts of Kowloon, allowing one to get off a short distance from his destination. The story of the Metro is an encouraging one for supporters of mass transit. Although building the system was certainly a challenging task, the Japanese firm hired to construct it did so in record time. Construction got underway in 1979 and it was completed in 1980. For the average commuter (一般持月票往返两地的乘客) the system has only one disadvantage; it is more expensive than by bus or ferry. One can ride the bus across the harbor for half as much or he can ride the ferry across for less than one-fifth as much.60Hong Kong public transportation extends _. Aover hills and valleys Bacross land and water Cthrough mountains Dthroughout the Kowloon area 61Crossing the harbor by train is _. Aby far the most economical methodsBthe most pleasant method Cthe least pleasant method Dthe fastest method 62The business area on the island side of Hong Kong is referred to as _. AKowloon Bthe Central District Cthe Hong Kong Metro Ddowntown Hong Kong 63The underground railway _. Awinds through Kowloon Bends when it reaches Kowloon Csnakes across the harbor Dcircles KowloonCJames Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting characters and developing a plot in modern fiction. his astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal（描画, 描写）of human nature in his books, and his complete command of English have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin.When he was in Dublin College, he studied languages and spent his spare time reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately（热情地, 热烈地）interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself norwegian（挪威语）so that he could read Ibsens（挪威剧作家及诗人）works in the original.When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile（流犯, 被放逐者）, because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he knew best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he stayed abroad all his life.64James Joyce was famous for many reasons except _.Ahis way of constructing a novel Bhis frank portrayal of human nature Chis complete command of English Dhis passion in literature65“he is second only to Shakespeare” is a comment on his _.Aachievement in literature Bachievement in the nationalist movementCachievement in his study of languagesDmastery of the English language66How many examples are used to show his passion in literature?A2. B3. C1. D4.67Why did James Joyce stay abroad almost all his life?ABecause he wanted to live in poverty and obscurity.BBecause he wanted to write the people and places he knew best.CBecause he wanted to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life.DBecause he wanted to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully and objectively about the people and the places he knew best.

Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm.
