Passage OneHaving returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office, speaking to a young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost 12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “Ill just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered there was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldnt have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburned,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice time in Jersey?”“Yes,” she answered shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!”“Thats fine,” said Harry. “My little girl cant swim a bit yet. Of course, shes only three.”“Im four,” the child said proudly. “Ill be four and a half.”Harry returned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didnt get one for your daughter, did you?”“Er, well ” the woman looked at the child. “I meanshe hasnt started school yet. Shes only four.”“A child like that must have a ticket, Madam. A childs return ticket to Jersey costs let me see. 13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, youll owe 1.50.

The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune frustration, tiredness or just bad temper that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel and we all know people who are accident-prone (易于的), so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, and accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.6. This passage might be taken from _.A. a textbook B. a science fictionC. a popular magazine D. a report of a manufacturer7. “Accident-prone” in Paragraph 2 means _.A. liable to have accidents B. injured in accidentsC. likely to die in accidents D. responsible for road accidents8. The passage suggests that _.A. accidents mostly result from slippery roadsB. accidents are usually caused by psychological factorsC. doctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factoriesD. about 50 000 people lose their lives at work in Britain every day9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents in this passage?A. Mood B. Tiredness C. Carelessness D. Weather10. Which do you think would be the best title for the passage?A. Accidents and AnxietyB. How Accidents Are CausedC. Human Factors in AccidentsD. How to Prevent Accidents on Roads and in FactoriesPassage ThreeThe common cold is the most widely spread of all respiratory (呼吸的) diseases. The cause is a virus (病毒) which is very easily spread: and one property of the cold virus is that it may fail to produce an immunity so that some persons suffer one cold after another. Medical science has yet to produce a method of preventing the common cold, although there are preventive injections (预防注射;预防针) which may be helpful for one person but have no effect on another.The symptoms (症状) of the common cold are familiar to us, first the inflammation (发炎) of the nose and the throat, then plenty of fluid discharge from the nose, and finally the thick discharge which occurs when the cold is coming to an end. The scientific name for the common cold is coryza. The word “coryza” can also simply mean “a discharge from the nose”.A discharge from the nose may be a symptom not only of the common cold; it may also be an important sign of more serious disease on the way.Influenza, or “flu”, is an acute (急性的) disease spread by touch, the character of which is an inflammation of the upper part of the respiratory system accompanied by aches and pains all over the body. It is caused by a virus and may spread even downward to the lungs. Inflammation of the upper branches of the lungs causes the cough typical of influenza, and the general infection brings about an extremely weakened condition of the victim. The great danger of influenza is its tendency to develop into a particular severe form of the inflammation of the lungs. In history influenza had broken out regularly and has caused millions of deaths. Though preventive injections have been developed, the immunity lasts only for a very short period of time.11. Why do some people often catch colds?A. Because the cold virus produces no immunity.B. Because no medicine can cure it.C. Because the cold virus reproduces too quickly.D. Because the cold virus travels too quickly.12. What symptom appears at the later stage of a cold?A. Inflammation of the nose. B. A thick discharge.C. Plenty of fluid discharge D. Inflammation of the throat.13. Which of the following statements about influenza is NOT true?A. Influenza may cause millions of people to die.B. No preventive injections can produce a long immunity effect.C. The influenza virus may go downward to the lungs.D. Influenza affects only the upper part of the respiratory system.14. “Coryza” is a technical term for _.A. influenza B. the common cold C. a discharge from the nose D. either B or C15. What is typical of influenza?A. Inflammation of the branches of the lungs and sharp pain all over the body.B. General weakening of the body.C. serious inflammation of the lungs.D. Inflammation of the upper respiratory system and pain all over the body.Passage FourBobby and his master, famous John Gray, were familiar sights in Edinburgh. Every Wednesday after a visit to market and exactly as the time-gun boomed one oclock, the two would enter Traills Dining Room for their midday meal, a frugal lunch for Gray, and a bun for Bobby.Then in 1858, the schedule was interrupted. Farmer Gray died. Three days after the funeral exactly at one oclock, Traill found himself looking into a pair of beseeching canine eyes. Bobby got his bun and disappeared. This was repeated for several days until Traills curiosity got the better of him. He followed the small terrier as he left and raced to his masters grave. There he remained each day, fair or foul, despite the efforts of dog-loving townspeople to give him a new home. The graveyard caretaker, while sympathetic, was at first not so willing to let him in. But Bobbys devotion and fidelity were so great that the caretaker provided Bobby with a shelter close to the grave to protect him from bad weather.Then, after nine years, Bobby was arrested as a vagrant because he had no license. The restaurant keeper appeared in court with Bobby. He was released by merciful justice. But just to make sure the law could not touch him, Lord Provost William Chambers paid Bobbys fee each year and presented him with a brass-plated collar inscribed “ Greyfriars, Bobby from The Lord Provost, 1876, License.”After that, Greyfriars Bobby was allowed to keep his lonely vigil undisturbed. He never varied his mealtime. Each day he left the graveyard as the gun roared one oclock to pick up his bun and take it back to eat at his masters side
