All police officers should be made to take a fitness test every year，with a pay cut for those who repeatedly fail，a review said.
In the Metropolitan Police，more than half（52 percent）of its men officers are over- weight, a fifth (22 percent) are obese, and one in 100 are“morbidly（病態(tài)地）obese"．For women officers in the Met，a third（32 percent) are overweight，16 percent are obese and 2 per-cent are morbidly obese.
Tom Winsor，who has carried out the widest-ranging research of police pay and conditions in more than 30 years，said those who fail the test three times should face a pay cut. Chief constables(郡警察局局長）should be able to fire any officer as part of budget cuts， ending a job for life. It also recommended that applicants should be able to enter the police service directly at inspector rank，and，"after strict testing"，at superintendent(主管）rank.
Mr Winsor said：“I think the public will be surprised that after passing a fitness test when they join the police，physical fitness is not tested again in a 30，35-year career.＂
An initial(最初的）yearly test requiring officers to reach level 5’4 on the bleep test should be brought in by September next year. This is equal to an average speed of 8. 8kph（5．5mph) for three minutes 35 seconds，he said. But this should get tougher by September 2018，along similar lines to the test currently used in Northern Ireland. This includes climbing over walls and pulling bodies and was designed to reflect situations which“police officers do and can become involved in"．
Mr Winsor expected that many officers would welcome the proposals，saying they would see it“as a necessary protection for themselves and the public"．
小題1:According to the passage，most of the police officers      ．
A．do their work wellB．a(chǎn)re out of shape
C．a(chǎn)re relatively healthyD．take regular exercise
小題2:It is suggested that if they fail the fitness test three times．they should      
A．have their pay reducedB．have to be fired

小題3:In order to cut the budget，Chief constables      ．
A．try their best to make policeman a life-long career

小題4:It is predicted that many officers would like the yearly test because      ·
A．they would get healthier after the test
B．they could protect themselves and others

One cold, rainy night in 1979, staying on the deck of the nuclear attack submarine(核攻擊潛艇) USS Birmingham entering Hampton Roads Harbor, a soldier who was called Jeff Harris was suddenly hit by a huge wave that took away his ship’s ball cap.
Months later, while walking along Chesapeake Boulevard beach in Hampton, Will Miller, a Vietnam veteran(退伍軍人) and Navy(海軍) commander, happened to find Harris’ cap which was half-buried in the sand then. Knowing how important a ship’s cap was to its owner, Miller saved the hat, hoping one day to find its owner. The cap was packed away for years but recently appeared again at Miller’s home in Florida.
“It suddenly fell out of a box onto my computer keyboard, right in front of me,” said Miller. “I guessed it was telling me, ‘It’s time to get me home.’”
An extensive Internet search led Miller to a USS Birmingham website and finally to Harris. The two sent e-mails back and forth, and one night Miller’s phone rang.
“This is Jeff Harris,” the voice on the phone said. “You have my hat!”
The two sailors talked for almost half an hour, telling sea stories to each other and thinking of the common relationship between seamen.”
“Most non-seagoing people wouldn’t understand how much a sailor likes his hat,” Miller said. “Your hat protects you from sun, wind, salt and cold, and when you lose it, especially one with your ship’s name on it, it’s a big thing. I’m delighted to get it back to Jeff.”
小題1:What is the main idea of the story?
A．A sailor looked for his hat for years.
B．Hats are important for sailors.
C．A sailor reunited with his hat years after losing it.
D．Friendship was based on a hat.
小題2:Jeff Harris’s hat dropped off into the sea because of ______.
A．a(chǎn) sudden waveB．his carelessness
C．a(chǎn) strong windD．something wrong with his hat
小題3:Will Miller kept the hat for years because ______.
A．he wanted to leave it to his child
B．it was valuable as a gift
C．he wanted to return it to its owner
D．he wanted to sell it one day
小題4:From the passage we can know Jeff Harris and Miller ______.
A．had been friends before the story happened
B．didn’t know the importance of the hat
C．often told sea stories to each other
D．once worked at sea

Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class in DeMatha High school, I was an underachieving student, but I left that class determined never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, as much by example as words that it was my duty to achieve and to serve others.
Neither of us could know how our relationship would develop over the years. When I came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him were like graduate seminars(研究生討論課) in adolescent development, classroom management and school leadership.
After several years, I was named department chair, and our relationship shifted(變化) again. I thought that it might be terrible chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr. Offutt supported me through. He knew when to give me advice about curriculum(課程), texts and personnel(人事), and when to let me plan my own course.
In 1997, I needed his opinion about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. Instead, he encouraged me to catch the chance.
Five years ago, I became the principal(校長) of DeMatha. Once again, Dr Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could depend on him. I have learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach.

Ray Travers sat back at the large desk, and looked around his plush（豪華的）office.  He was tired
Ray's eyes stopped at a painting on the wall.  It was a gift given by an old friend，Bull，as a farewell gift when he left his hometown  He recalled the life spent in that small town; pleasant times.  The many hours he spent talking to his good friend, and the tales he was told about hunting in the Africa of old.
Memories flowed back more than ten years;  he remembered how he enjoyed hearing about the wonderful hunting，and how he wished he could have shared those times.
Ray opened his desk drawer and brought out a wooden box. He opened the lid and exposed a work of art，a hand-made hunting knife.  This was a gift from Bull，given to Ray more than 20 years ago.  It was one of the first knives Bull had made, and Ray had called it "Zambezi"，the river where Bull had been so many times.

A butcher watching over his shop was really surprised when he saw a dog coming inside the shop. He went over to the dog and noticed it had a note in its mouth. He took the note and it read “Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please. The dog has money in his mouth, as well.”
The butcher looked carefully and was surprised to find that there was really a ten-dollar note there. So he took the money and put the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog’s mouth. The butcher was so impressed, and since it was about closing time, he decided to shut up shop and follow the dog.
So off he went. He followed the dog to a bus stop. The dog stopped and started looking at the timetable. The dog checked out the time, and then sat on one of the seats provided. Along came a bus. The dog walked around to the front, looked at the number, and went back to its seat. Another bus came. Again the dog went around to the front, looked at the number and climbed on. The butcher, by now, open-mouthed, followed it onto the bus.
The bus traveled through the town and out into the suburbs. Eventually the dog got up, and moved to the front of the bus. It stood on two back paws and pushed the button to stop the bus. Then it got off with groceries still in its mouth.
Well, the dog and the butcher were walking along the road, and then the dog turned into a house. It walked up the path, and dropped the groceries on the step. Then it walked back down the path, took a big run, and threw itself against the door. Then again, it threw himself against it. There’s no answer at the house. so the dog waited at the door.
The butcher watched as a big guy opened the door, and started shouting at it. The butcher ran up, and stopped the guy. “Why do you shout at the dog? It is really a genius.” The guy responded, “You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog’s forgotten its key.”
