small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive "school" fee.
He always     2   his success to it.
     At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree,    3 to return to the homeland, starting a
company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the     4    made through years of work after
school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the    5 customs check. The watch on his
wrist was also demanded to be  taken down for   6 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had
to pay the tax, and he worried about paying   7   for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie
that his watch was a    8 fake(假货). When he was   9 of his "smarts", immediately, in the presence of
Glen, the officers hit the watch,   10 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces   11 hearing Glen" s words. Glen
was    12 . Before he understood why, he was taken to

the office to be examined 13 . For many
times of entry-exit 14 he knew that only those people in the "blacklist" wo

uld "enjoy" this special
treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and   15   him no matter what time
of entry and exit he must accept the check and if  16 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he
would be  17 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding
the plane for long.
      After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said
that this made a deep  18 on him, because the additional high "school" fee that he had ever paid made
him realize the value of    19 , which he would remember as the   20 of his success forever.

     A small town in southwest Britain is banning (禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment
and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.
    Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to
customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
     Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws
to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where
governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
     Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag ammesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.
     The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while
working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been "really
positive".
     "Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker(柳条) baskets to go out
shopping anyway, "Hosking told Sky News Television.
     The World Watch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are
thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the
world.

1. The underlined word "disposable" in the passage probably means___  .

A. acceptable
B. valuable
C. environmentally-friendly
D. long-lasting

2. It can be inferred from the passage that _____    .

A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags
B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world
C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world
D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags

3. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. Environmental Protection
B. Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags
C. British Town Banning Plastic Bags
D. Effect of Plastic bags on Sea Animals

      About a hundred yards along the path, we came to a deep valley(山谷). On the far side of it, the
path led into some very thick bushes, rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far
side of the bushes.
      As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off a rock on which I had put my hand. On looking
at the spot from which the bird had risen I saw two eggs. They were a kind that I did not have in my
collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.
      As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper(陡峭) and not far from where I had
entered it came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small
valleys in the rainy season had worn(磨损,冲刷) the rock as smooth as glass. As it was too deep to
climb down, I handed my gun to one of them and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy
bottom when the two m

jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and
asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing, possibly because of the noise I made
sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling(咆哮) somewhere nearby, but
they did not know which direction the noise had come from.

A. the writer decided to cut down the thick bushes

A. it had been worn smooth
