Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about hell. When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn’t master the flying skills, she would go to hell. She was so curious about hell that she always asked others what hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said hell was a place full of water, and others told her that hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what hell was.
When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn’t find out what hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn’t escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying no the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.
“What does hell look like?”
“Hell is a small well-decorated cage.” Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself.

The boy dug around the rock, 38 to move it off the dirt. At first, he wanted to carry it out of the sandbox with his hands; however, it was too heavy. Later, with much 39 , he pushed the rock across the sandbox by 40 his hands. When the boy got the rock to the 41 of the sandbox, he found that he couldn’t roll it up and 42 the little wall. 43 , the little boy pushed, but every time he thought he had made some 44 , the rock tipped (翻滚) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy pushed and pushed, but his only 45 was to have the rock roll back.
Finally he 46 tears. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window 47 the drama was unfolded. The moment the tears fell, a large 48 appeared across the sandbox. It was the boy’s father. Gently but 49 , he said, “Son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had?”

Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money-to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling =" 1/20" pound) return from Swansea—too much I thought. All my money went to the family then." he said.
During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament(国会).
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired. "I don’t like the chair business--people will think I am getting old," he said.
His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized--no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped," I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket. "
小题1:It was reported that Mr. Evans’s healthy long life was to a certain extent due to his ______.| A．wine drinking | B．proper smoking | C．mild temper | D．sense of humor |
小题2: Which of the following statements is true?| A．A single trip from Mr. Evans’s home to the White City used to be ten shillings. | | B．The first place for Mr. Evans to visit is the Houses of Parliament. | | C．He appreciated people’s arrangement of a wheelchair during his visit. | | D．Mr. Evans once made the journey to London at the turn of the century. |
小题3:The word "quip" in the last sentence most probably means _______.| A．to make a witty remark | B．to express a happy message | | C．to make a wish | D．to tell a joke |
小题4:What might be the best title for this passage?| A．110-Year-Old Tourist | B．Secret for Long and Healthy Life | | C．Free Return Ticket | D．Sightseeing in London |
