You are near the front line of a battle .Around you shells are exploding ;people are shooting from a house behind you .What are you doing there? You aren’t a soldier .You aren’t  36   carrying a gun .You’re standing in front of a    37  and you’re telling the TV   38  what is happening.

       It’s all in a day’s work for a war reporter ,and it can be very    39  .In the first two years of the   40   in former Yugoslavia（前南斯拉夫）,28 reporters and photographers were killed .Hundreds more were    41  .What kind of people put themselves in danger to   42   pictures to our TV screens and   43   to our newspapers? Why do they do it ?

       “I think it’s every young journalist’s   44   to be a foreign reporter,” says Michael Nicholson, “that’s   45   you find the excitement .So when the first opportunity comes ,you take it    46  it is a war.”

       But there are moments of   47   . Jeremy Bowen says, “Yes ,when you’re lying on the ground and bullets （子彈）are flying  48   your ears ,you think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again.’ But that feeling   49   after a while and when the next war starts , you’ll be

  50   .”

       “None of us believes that we’re going to   51   ,” adds Michael .But he always  52   a lucky charm（護(hù)身符）with him .It was given to him by his wife for his first war .It’s a card which says “Take care of yourself.” Does he ever think about dying? “Oh,   53  ,and every time it happens you look to the sky and say to God, ‘If you get me out of this ,I   54   I’ll never do it again.’ You can almost hear God   55   ,because you know he doesn’t believe you .”

From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions . It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating , and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run away . The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its environment , a game in which it must make decision—a matter of life or death .

Animals’ ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遺傳性的)learning” , which is different from the individual (個(gè)體的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a species —animals of the same kind—as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However , the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past . The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game . Because most animals live in ever changing evironments from one generation to the next , it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning .

In the great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (復(fù)合體) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with .That is why animals can survive .

72．The animal’s life will come to an end          .

       A．if the animal makes a wrong decision    B．if the animal plays a dangerous game

       C．when the animal attacks its enemy        D．when the animal runs too slowly

73．Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because          .

       A．each generation has its own way of learning

       B．their environments change all the time

       C．they can act reasonably on their own

       D．it takes their whole life to learn

74．When the environment doesn’t change much ,         .

       A．a(chǎn)nimals cannot act in a right way

       B．genetic learning is less important for animals

       C．individual learning plays a less important role

       D．a(chǎn)nimals cannot get over problems on their on their own

75．Animals’ living on generation after generation depends on          .

       A．their natural action pattern with their own experience

       B．the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime

       C．their experience in particular environments

       D．the knowledge passed on by their parents

At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.

       Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England ,but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour .In order to have no trouble with the police ,he had a talk with some of the police officers ,who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country ,but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.

       One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp , but he walked as fast as he could .The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car ,and not one of them saw it .

       They reached a hill ;but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car; but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him.

       “Good evening,” said the policeman ,looking at the car.

       “Good evening,” said Rolls ,holding the lamp.

       “One of these horseless things,” said the policeman ,looking at it with interest.

       “Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.

       “I’ve often wanted a ride in one ; but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.

       “Jump in ,” said Rolls.

       “Thanks ,” said the policeman ,and did so . “Now ,”he said ,sitting down, “you can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”

60．The policemen were told “to look the other way” (the underlined part in Paragraph 2) so that

           .

       B．the car could go faster than four miles an hour

       C．they could make sure no one was in the way

       D．the car would not hit them on the road

61．In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?

       A．They greeted Rolls when the car came along.

       B．They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.

       C．They pretended to be attracted by something else.

       D．They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.

62．The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to        .

       A．teach Rolls a lesson                                     B．take a free ride home

       C．have a talk with Rolls                                  D．have a car ride experience

       B．could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance

       C．could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey

　 That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother 26 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. __27_ , on this special morning, I felt like getting up early.

I stood by my window overlooking(眺望，俯視) the _28_, having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something _29_ in life.

As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off, I 30 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket（水桶） _31_ on its handle(把手) and pieces of old and used cloth in a basket and bottles on its back-carriage(后座). He 32 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already 33 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.

Several thoughts 34 my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 35 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 36 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 37 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, 38 passers-by(過路人) and stopping to have a free talk now and then 39 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.

There was a noticeable sense of 40 in the way he seemed to be doing things— 41 the windscreen (擋風(fēng)玻璃), then standing back to look at it proudly; scrubbing (擦凈) the wheels and 42 , standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.

It was a 43 to learn, I felt. One doesn’t have to beg for a 44 at any age if one is in good health and willing to work hard. For a while I felt 45 of myself. Though I am young —just sixteen, and there was this old man before me who must have got up very early and been busy working so hard and actively.

Goods must be of proper quality ,must be as described on the package and must be fit for any particular purpose made known by the seller .Those three rules used for the goods you buy can also be used for the goods you get on hire ,or for the goods you get as part of a service.
