She used to work as a model and earn as much as $ 2,000 in one day in front of the camera. She modeled for top magazines in Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and throughout the United States. Arias father, now retired because of a disability, was a police officer who really loved his work. Aria would rather follow in her fathers footsteps than pursue her modeling career. She remembered listening to her father tell stories when he came home after a day on the beat. The excitement, tensions and risks of police work appealed to her. Aria got started in the modeling business quite by accident. She accompanied a friend to an interview at a modeling agency. Her friend wanted the job, while Aria didnt. The people at the agency were impressed with Arias appearance and poise. They knew shed be brilliant in front of the camera. So they sent her on her first modeling jobfor Seventeen magazineright away. While she was successful as a model, Aria never gave up her dream of being a police officer. She passed the written exam for the New York Police Department. She planned to enter the Police Academy as quickly as possible. Her family and friends thought she was out of her mind even to consider such a thing. Police work was dangerous and the pay couldnt compare to a top models income. But Aria knew what she wanted, and she went for it. She had never really intended to be a model anyway. Finally she hooked her fish. 56Arias success as a model resulted from _.

Aphotographer working for a magazine Bstudent of the Police Academy Ctop model of a world company Dwoman police officerB Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasnt easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didnt exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin was a person who liked playing the violin and was full of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to a fancy dress ball (化装舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He came up with an idea. He thought everyone would be attracted by him if he could skate into the room. Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two, wheels under each shoe. These were the first rolled skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin. On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing the violin. Everyone was amazed to see this. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. Suddenly he ran into a huge mirror hanging on the wall. It fell down and broke into pieces. Nobody forgot Merlins entrance for a long time.60The passage is mainly about_.Aa strange man Ban unusual party Chow roller skating started Dhow people held parties in the 18th century 61People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he_.Aoften gave others surprisesBwas a gifted musicianCinvented the roller skatesDwas full of imagination62Merlin put wheels under his shoes to_.Aimpress the party guestsBarrive at the party soonerCtest his inventionDshow his skill in walking on wheels63What is main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph? AThe roller skates needed further improvement.BThe party guests took Merlin for a fool.CMerlin succeeded beyond expectation. DMerlin got himself into trouble.CCan hard work be replaced by machines in agriculture? Yes, man is trying out automatic (自动化) farming. It is fun to watch a machine picking tomatoes. The strange machine sails like a ship across a sea of plants. In its front is a hole. As the machine moves forward, tomato plants are pulled into the hole. The tomatoes are gathered while the rest of the plants are thrown back onto the fields. Twelve workers sit on top of the machine. They rapidly pick out the bad fruit from the tomatoes. A red stream of ripe tomatoes is being sent into a cart that is pulled alongside the machine. One driver and twelve workers can pick in an hour ten tons of a new kind of tomato. Without the invention, it would take 60 men to do the job. Not all plants cooperate well with the farming machines. Take lettuce(莴苣)for example, seeds plants in the same field in the same time ripe at different times. The only way to tell a ripe head of lettuce is to look at it and feel it. And now there is a machine even to do that! There is a special machine to test lettuce. When it moves over one that feels right, it sends a signal back to the picking machine which goes behind. The cutting and picking is done satisfactorily by this unit.64This passage mainly tells us something about .Athe machines picking tomatoesBautomatic farmingCthe science of farmingDagriculture machines 65After the bad tomatoes are picked out, .Athe others are sent into a cart nearbyBthe workers carry them awayCthe others are put into bagsDthe others will be thrown into the field66The last paragraph mainly tells us .Athat lettuce is not good to get inBthat a special unit of machines has been made to test and pick lettuceCabout a wonderful machine that can be used pick all kinds of plantsDthat lettuce is not a cooperation plantDMONEY SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLDEvery time you visit Disney World, theres something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high tech, movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom . Each time the park expands（扩大）, so do your chances to spend money. How can you save ? As a family guide to Disney World, Ive been to the park more than 25 times with my kids , and Ive developed a few money-saving tips for you.Buy the Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass. Even if youre visiting for fewer days , its a deal （The pass costs $ 229 for visitors aged 10 and up , $ 183 for kids aged three to nine and is free for kids under age three）. Without the pass , youll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks . A single trip to Blizzard Beach , for example , would cost a family of four $100.Dine out at Lunchtime. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants , especially those in Epcots World Showcase , are much lower at noontime than at any other time. Its wise to make reservations（预定）before you leave home . Call 407-W-DISNEY . Become a Gold Card Member. For $ 65 , you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card （call 1-800-56-DISNEY）. Cardholders get up to 20% off Disney hotel rooms , plus prices on character breakfast , theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores .Dont Pay Extra to See a Character. Character-theme dinner shows are expensive , costing a family of four about $ 140 , and even a character breakfast , where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes , can set you back $ 50. If your budget (预算) is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows . You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show , for example , in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost , while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue needs expensive tickets .Wait Until the End of Your Trip to Buy Souvenirs. By then , the kids will really know what they want , and you wont waste money on expensive things .67If you are short of money, the writer suggests you should not .Abuy things for the kids from Disney stores.Bbuy souvenirs at the beginning of the tripCmake a trip to Blizzard BeachDhave your meals out at noontime68Which of the following can be used in place of “set you back”Aoffer youBsave youCreturn youDcost you69You should pay more money if you .Ahave a five day All One Hopper Pass while youre visiting for four days.Bdo not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance.Care not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder.Dhave lunch at a restaurant in Epcots World Showcase70In the writers opinion, the better way of meeting the Disney cartoon character is .Ato have a character breakfastBto watch the Diamond Horseshoe showCto pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parksDto attend the Hoop Dee Doo Musical RevueE It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of clear similarities in the way different animals show the same feeling. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behavior patterns are inherited (遗传) rather than learned.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble (颤抖)”suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be descri
