The 22-year-old drivers threats, directed at security guards and students who stopped him from fleeing the scene, have come under attack on the universitys online forum.Li Gang was later identified by China News Service as deputy director of the public security bureau of Beishi district of Baoding city in North Chinas Hebei province. Li Qiming, the driver, has been placed under criminal detention（刑事拘留） for traffic offense. According to a statement that the Baoding public security bureau released on Monday night, the driver was drunk while driving the car. The statement did not make it clear Li Qiming is the son of Li Gang, but said: “Everyone is equal before the law. No matter who the person is, the violator will receive punishments strictly according to law.”A black Volkswagen Magotan(大众迈腾) hit the girls on the Hebei University campus at about 9:40 p.m. on Saturday, according to the statement. The two girls were roller-skating and witnesses said they were thrown high in the air by the collision（冲撞） and were hit again when they fell on the cars windshield and mirror. The driver did not stop, but kept going and was intercepted by security guards and students near the school gate, according to the police statement. Surrounded by about 50 people and asked to step out of the car, the driver said aloud to the crowd without a sense of sorrow that he is the son of Li Gang, local media quoted witnesses as saying. Traffic police asserted he was drunken driving based on a blood sample.One of the girls surnamed Chen, 20, from Shijiazhuang city of the province, died the day after the accident. Another girl suffered fractures in her left leg and remained hospitalized. Both are freshman students, local media reported.61. According to the passage, _. A. Li Qiming lost his life in the car accident B. Li Qiming asked his father to sue him C. The two girls broke traffic rules D. Li Qiming was a drunken driver in the accident62. Why did Li Qiming say “My father is Li Gang!”? A. Because the security guards asked him his fathers name. B. Because the local media asked him his fathers name. C. Because he thought he can escape punishment if he said so. D. Because the girl surnamed Chen asked him before she died.63. Which of the following best describes Li Qiming? A. cold-blooded B. innocent C. warm-hearted D. selflessBThe young boy saw me, or, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change, so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again. I was more aware of my position in a society where its not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “Whats up?” I asked him. “II dont have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said. “Thank you very much.”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if hes a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didnt know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in Northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?” I asked.He nodded.“Thats good.” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “Whats wrong?” I asked. “Its a gift.”He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “Ive been waiting to give these to you.”64. What was the authors first impression of the boy?A. He seemed to be poor and greedy. B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.C. He seemed younger than his age. D. He seemed good at bargaining.65. The third time the author met him, the boy _.A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts. B. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooks D. tried to take advantage of him66. Why did the author give his money to the boy?A. Because he had enough money to do that. B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C. Because he held a higher position in the society.D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.67. Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite. B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful.D. Shy and nervous.CSome bad habits can actually turn out to be helpful. Though they may cause trouble most of the time, yet, there are those examples when they seem to fit the situation perfectly.Some people have bad habits of pointing out others mistakes. They are always telling their friends or family members what they are doing wrong. It gets annoying for the person being picked on. Quite a bit of anger can build up over this.However, there may come a time when they will actually point out the bad habit you have not realized before. They may stop you from making a huge mistake. You may be glad you hear their criticism(批评), however.If you complain too much, people will tell you that you have too many bad habits. It does create a negative environment when someone is always seeing the worst in everything. However, sometimes the only times you can get anything done are when you complain.Working too hard is generally a bad habit. It is bad for your relationships and it is bad for your health. You feel that you will not succeed unless you put in overtime. Mostly, this is not true. Yet, there are times when the extra work can pay off. This is true especially if you allow yourself to indulge(放纵) this bad habit for only the period of a short project.Breaking the law almost always involves（涉及）bad habits. On the other hand, some of the worlds greatest heroes have broken the laws of their own countries.They did it against laws they thought unfair or cruel. The world would be a different place if these people had been afraid of having these “bad habits”. That is why not all habits can be strictly labeled(标记) bad or good. It has to go by the situation.68. The underlined phrase “picked on” in Paragraph 2 may mean “_”. A. criticized B. praised C. chosen D. ignored69. How many bad habits are discussed in the passage? A.
