At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a boy on the same day. Partly because my parents  46 a shop selling flowers, the room was soon  47  with the lovely scent of roses.

   As the seventh floral arrangement was   48  , I was beginning to feel  49 , for no flowers had arrived for my roommate, Ann. She sat on the edge of her bed and leaned forward to admire the  50  bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much  51 , too much sadness for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’  52  .

  “I’m enjoying every  53 of this”, she said as though she had read my   54  and was trying to reassure me. “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a   55 ?”

   I still felt uncomfortable, however.  56   there were some magic button I could push to  57   the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least,I can see that she has some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send  58 some.

  The flowers arrived just   59  Ann and I were finishing supper.

  “More flowers for you,” she said,   60  .

  “No, not this time,” I said, looking at the     61   “These are for you.”

  Ann stared at the blossoms a long time, not saying anything. She ran her 62  across the pale blue bouquets and  63 touched each of the sweet roses as though trying to engrave(刻畫) them on her 64 .

  “How can I ever thank you” she said softly.

I was almost embarrassed. It was such a little    65  on my part.

   At the University of Minnesota, in the USA, scientists have been studying twins for more than 10 years and they have come across many interesting cases. But recently they had a piece of luck. Previously, all the twins who had been investigated had been brought up together, so it was difficult to identify the reasons for certain similarities. They might have been genetic, but they might just as well have been caused by the twins living in closeness with another.

   However, the two James were different. They were separated from one another and adopted by different families, called Lewis and Springer, a few weeks after they were born and they did not meet until after 39 years.

   When the scientists at Minnesota learnt about the two James, they were naturally invited to come to the University, where investigations revealed the most astonishing similarities about their lives:

   * Both married girls called Linds, were divorced and then married women called, Betty.

   * Both owned dogs called Toy when they were boys.

   * Both had worked for the hamburger chain, McDonald's, and at filling station.

   * Both had the habit of biting their fingernails.

   * Both have similar sleeping problems.

   How can one attempt to explain so many coincidences? Is it possible that twins have some mysterious way of communicating? Or does our gene make us take particular decisions in certain circumstances? In any case, it seems that many more aspects of our behavior are influenced by genetic factors than we had previously imagined.

1. What was the piece of good fortune the scientists enjoyed recently?

   A The James twins would accept the invitation to the University.

   B The James twins met with each other after 39 years' separation.

   C The scientists found many interesting cases about twins.

   D The scientists discovered a special pair of long-separated twins.   

2. Why were the two James different from other twins according to the passage?

   A. They shared a lot of similarities.

   B. They lived in different families for a long time.

   C. They both worked in the hamburger chain.

   D. Their parents died when they were very young.

3. The word "coincidence" (Para.4) may mean things that ______.

   A. happen around the same time by chance   B. astonish people

   C. are likely to cause accidents       D. are very funny

4. The two James share all of the following similarities except that

   A. both married twice

   B. both had at least two jobs

   C. both suffered from the same disease

   D.both kept dogs when they were children

The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card (信用卡) fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal web site(非法網(wǎng)站).

  Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care.

  On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computers hackers (黑客) have broken down security(安全)systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago, 25,000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer (零售商) , were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157,828 to get back the information.?

  Ask about your credit-card firm’s on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders have to pay the first US $78 of any fraudulent (欺騙性的) spending.

  And shop only at secure sites; Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system.?

  If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-h(huán)and corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start https: // - the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.

  Keep your password(密碼)safe: Most on-line sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.? 

What is the meaning of “fraud”??

A. Cheating.    B. Sale.     C. Payment.    D. Safety.?  

How can the thieves get the information of the credit card??

  How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?

  These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source.

  For a long time people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. But garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossilfuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.

  Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil!

  But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily, such as food scrapes and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.

  Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.

1.What two problems can be solved by burning garbage?

[  ]

A.The shortage of energy; air pollution.

B.The shortage of energy; the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.

C.Air pollution; the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.

D.Air pollution; the shortage of fossil fuel.

2.Which of the following is NOT a result of burning garbage?

[  ]

A.The heat produced is used to boil water.

B.The steam produced is used to make electricity.

C.The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.

D.The steam produced is used to heat buildings.

3.According to the passage, which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?

[  ]

A.Food scraps and metals

B.Paper and glass.

C.Metals and glass.

D.Food scraps and paper.
