The accused person was taken into the arena and asked to open one . Behind one door was a hungry tiger , while behind the other was a lady chosen especially for him . To this lady he would be immediately married, in honor of his innocence.The king had a beautiful daughter whom he loved very much , and she secretly loved a young commoner（平民）.When the king discovered their relationship , the man was immediately put in prison, and a day was set for him to enter the arena.The princess knew behind which door stood the tiger, and behind which a lady. She also knew that the lady was one of the loveliest in the kingdom. The princess hated the woman behind that silent door.As he entered the arena and his eyes met the princesss, the young man knew that she knew behind which door waited the tiger, and behind which stood the lady. The princess raised her hand, and made a short, quick movement toward the right. No one but her lover saw it. Every eye was fixed on him. He turned, and with a firm, quick step he walked across the empty space to the door on the right and opened it.Now, the point of the story is this: Did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady? The more we think about this question, the harder it is to answer. It involves a study of the human heart.

Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer. He set up Peter Blackborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, colour term-planner that now students all over the UK are using. “I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative,” he says, “I believed that I could do a better job and decided to have a go”. Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money. “Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves,” he says “I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college.” Friends believe that Blackburn will make 1 million within 5 years. He is not quite so sure, however. “Theres a lot to be done yet,” he says.56. Choose the right order of the facts given in the passage. a. He asked the bank for money. b. He collected newspapers. c.

The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement（底层） which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children. Judys parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on（溺爱）Judys children. They often sent the children presents. Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret, Judys daughter, told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didnt surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldnt think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadnt yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally Im worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. Well wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mohter will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.” That was six months ago. During this time Ive heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home（护理室）was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now shes still living alone and Im still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons? A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson. B.
