He continued as a robber day after day and year after year.One day, Ian went to rob a traveler. Unlike those who have been robbed by him before, the traveler showed no fear and asked, “Why do you do this every day?” Ian was surprised and answered without thinking, “Because I have a family. Robbing is the only way I can earn money to support my family.” “Are your family members prepared to share your punishment with you?” Ian was puzzled and said he didnt know. The traveler told him to go home and ask them.Ian asked his wife, “Do you know how I work to support you?” His wife replied, “Yes, I know.” Ian asked, “Are you going to share the punishment Ill get for the way I earn my living?” His wife answered, “No. You married me and you should take care of me.”Next, his parents replied, “Son, we raised you with great care. Now we dont have the energy to work. So its your duty to look after us. We wont share any of the punishments placed upon you for what youve done.”Ian hadnt expected their answers. He became sad and returned to the traveler. Ian told him all the conversations. The traveler said, “You have to take the consequences yourself.” Ian thanked him for letting him see the errors in his ways. After this incident, Ian started learning in order to work and support the family in legal ways.56. How long did Ian work as a highway robber?A. Several days. B. Several weeks. C. Several months. D.Several years.57. What do you think of the traveler in this text?A. Silly. B. Wise. C. Fearful. D. Nervous.58. Who would share Ians punishment if he was caught?A. His wife. B. His parents. C. His son. D. Nobody.59. What can we infer from the last sentence of this text?A. At last Ian stopped robbing. B. Ian left his family and home sadly.C. Ian went to another place to be a robber.D. Ian gave all his belongings to the traveler.( B )Im seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them. Andcarried things to their cars. It was hard work.While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, “Mr Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett.” I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at myname plate. Oh no. He didnt remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If he would have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?” I have been ready for him. Theres nothing personal here.The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: You couldnt accept tips. Okay, Im outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反应) is to take a quarter and give it to me. I say, “Im sorry, I cant.” Theydget angry. When you give someone a tip, youre sort of being polite.You take a quarter and you put it in their hands and you expect them to say, “Oh,thanks a lot.” When you say,“Im sorry, I cant,”they feel a little put down. They say, “No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket. You say, “I really cant.” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a personphysically(身体上) to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the stores belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thingand made the customer feel good. I just couldnt understand the strangenessof some peoples ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car,and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it andgive it up.60. What can be the best title for this text?A. How Hard Life is for Box Boys B. Getting along with CustomersC. Why I Gave up My Job D. The Art of Taking Tips61. From the second paragraph, we can infer that _.A. the writer didnt like the impersonal part of his jobB. with a name plate, people can easily start talkingC. Mr Castle mistook Irving for BrettD. Irving was the writers real name62. The box boy refused to accept tips because _.A. customers only gave small tipsB. some customers had strange ideas about tippingC. the store forbade the box boys to take tipsD. he didnt want to fight with the customers63. The underlined phrase “put down” in the third paragraph probably means_.A. misunderstood B. defeated C. hateful D. hurt( C )Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sightsthat Pompeii is famous forits stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants.The tourists do not, however, see Pompeiis people. They do not see thembecause Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano(火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted(喷发)for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In Augustof AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain-exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeiiwas buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people weredead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly,carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as ithad looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops.There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all,therewere everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who livedin Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom,so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too;metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round,flat loaves of bread ?a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tinyboxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.64. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A. To visit the volcano. B. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and plays. D. To see how Pompeiians lived.65. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.66. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.67. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.( D )Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock（闹钟）. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldnt go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi.

He was kept till 3 oclock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.68.
