“It was said she was married to an officer in India long ago and she had a life of physical adventure as exciting as her poetry.Her husband could cross rivers,using crocodiles(鱷魚) as stepping stones.He died when she was only thirty-nine.Unwilling to exist without him,she took her life,leaving a son in England.”

They say,crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule,but they can 27 like lightning when they want to.And they don’t mind hurrying 28 they’re hungry.There used to be lots in Indianrivers,living on fish mostly;but what’s a little fish 29 a fifteen-foot crocodile?They ate people,fisherman or anyone else delicious enough to get too near;women doing the 30 ,or children playing at the water’s 31 .A hungry crocodile’s mouth 32 over a meal with a sound like a gunshot.A big fellow can 33 in a man in two bites.
That woman’s husband crossed rivers 34 from one crocodile’s back to the next.I believe it.It had to be done 35 before the creature could see what was happening.It wasn’t 36 a brave,active man;and no doubt he improved with practice.He could never look 37 while crossing.
The wife used to watch him—I felt 38 of that.She lived 39 the adventure the 40 excitement of it all.Their real life was with tigers,snakes....It’s no wonder she wrote 41 poetry.
Then he 42 .I imagined how she felt.Was there another man 43 him in India,in the world?She was still young,hardly a sitting-room widow(寡婦).“I must 44 ,too,”she said to herself.So she did what she felt she had to do.A 45 probably,to her head.
But her young son,their son?Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband?Well,what do you think?

MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border（邊界）to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security（安全）rules.
The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海關）station in this area is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him be had been caught on carnera crossing the border illegally（非法）.
Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.
We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .
A．an American living in Township 15 B．a Canadian living in a Quebec village
C．a Canadian working in a customs station D．an American working in a Canadian church
Albert was fined because he .
A．failed to obey traffic rules B．broke the American security rules
C．worked in St. Pamphile without a pass D．damaged the gate of the customs office
The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means .
A．a drive through the town B．a race across the fields
C．a roundabout way of travelling D．a journey in the mountain area
What would be the best title for the text?
A．A Cross-country Trip B．A Special Border Pass
C．An Unguarded Border D．An Expensive Church Visit

Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany, was fed up with traffic jams. At long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get him quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers’ route through Germany and Austria.
How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light? And like magic everyone was out the way. Going home from work one night he passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problems. An old ambulance(救護車) was for sale. The red cross had been removed. But not the flashing light, and the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring. It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and pulled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.
But then the Yugoslav made his big mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident, lights flashing , to late realize that it was not another traffic jam as he assumed.

|
B．because he wanted to resell it at a higher price |
|
C．because he liked the siren and the flashing light |
|

|
B．because the vehicle did not look like an ambulance any more |
