     Imagine being in your car, peacefully driving, when suddenly something rock-hard breaks your
windshield (挡风玻璃), hits you and breaks nearly every bone in your face. It     1    out that the
"weapon" was a frozen turkey,     2    from the window of a speeding car by a teenage college
student out for a joyriding with friends.
     That"s what     3    last November to Victoria Ruvolo, a 44-year-old office manager, on a road
in the far eastern town of Riverhead on Long Island. She could have been     4   , and she could
have had brain damage. Doctors had to     5    her face, using metal plates and screws. Surprisingly,
she recovered and within a few months was     6    on her own and working again.
     But that"s not the     7    story. It"s what happened the following August in court (法庭) that makes
this a tale to     8   . The boy who threw the turkey was 19-year-old Ryan Cushing, who had poor
eyesight. He was     9    of a first-degree assault (袭击) charge and could have     10    up to 25 years
in prison. And then Ruvolo stepped in.
     She saw Cushing for the first time coming out of the courtroom. He stopped, chocking and crying as
he tried to     11    to her.
     "For an intensely emotional few minutes, Ruvolo     12    him tightly, wiped his face and patted his
back as he cried uncontrollably," wrote a New York Times reporter. As the young man kept saying, "I"m
sorry; I didn"t mean it," the woman he could have killed     13   , "It"s OK. It"s OK. I just want you to
make your    14     the best it can be."
     Then, at Rubolo"s insistence (坚持), prosecutors (检察官) agreed to give Cushing six months in jail
instead of 25 years in prison.
     One man later said that in his 30 years as a prosecutor he had not seen such a     15    victim.

阅读理解。     "I wish Central Bank would be robbed," George Pickens said to himself. He had been making this
wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller (银行柜员) at the bank.
     All over the country banks were being robbed, George thought sourly. Why not this bank? Were
robbers scornful of its four-million-dollar capital?Were they afraid of Mr. Ackerman, the old bank guard, who hadn"t pulled out his gun in twenty-two years?
     Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. After all, he couldn"t simply take
the thick bundles of bills that were under his hands all day long. So he had thought of another way to get
them. His plan was simple. It went like this:
      If Bank Robber A holds up Bank Teller B…
      And if Bank Teller B gives Bank Robber A a certain amount of money…
     What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and claiming that it was stolen by
Bank Robber A?There was only one problem. Where was Bank Robber A?
     One morning George entered the bank feeling something was about to happen. "Good morning, Mr.
Burrows." he said cheerfully. The bank president muttered something and went into his office.
     At two o"clock Bank Robber A walked in. George knew he was a bank robber. For one thing, he
slipped in. For another, he wore a mask.
     "This is a holdup." the man said roughly. He took a pistol from his pocket. The guard made a small
sound. "You," the bank robber said, "lie down on the floor." Mr. Ackerman lay down. The robber
stepped over to George"s cage.
     "All right." he said. "Hand it over."
     "Yes, sir." said George. "Would you like it in ten-or-twenty-dollar bills?"
     "Just hand it over!"
     George reached into his cashbox and took all the bills from the top section-close to six thousand
dollars. He passed them through the window. The robber snatched them, stuffed them into his pocket,
and turned to leave.
     Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B calmly lifted off the top section of the
cashbox and slipped bills from the bottom section into his pockets.
     The bank robber was gone. George fainted. When he woke he smiled up at the worried faces looking down at him. "I"m all right." he said bravely.
      "Perhaps you should go home, George." Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, said.
     As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George took the money from his pockets and
counted it. He had seven thousand dollars. He was very happy.
     The next morning when George arrived at the bank, it was not open for business. But everyone was
there, helping to examine the bank"s records for the special audit (审计师) Mr. Bell was taking.
     George was called into Mr. Burrows" office. The bank president seemed strangely cheerful. "George,"
he said, "I want you to meet Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank."
     "Good morning, George." said Mr. Carruthers. "I was sorry to hear you fainted yesterday. Are you all
right now?"
     "Yes, sir. Just fine, thanks."
     "I"m glad to hear it. That was quite an adventure. It just goes to show how easy it is to rob our bank."
     "Sir?"said George, confused.?
     "George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these
days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed too.     That"s why I
played my little game yesterday, just to keep everybody on his toes."
"I don"t understand." said George. "What game?"
     The old man laughed and whipped out a mask. He placed it over his face and said, "All right. Hand it
over!" Mr. Burrows laughed but George did not.
     "And the money?" George asked in a small voice.
     "Don"t worry." Mr. Carruthers said. "I put it all back in your cashbox, all six thousand. We"re just
finishing up the audit now." George turned cold with fear.
     Behind them, the door opened and Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, put his head into the room. "Mr.
Burrows," he said gravely, "may I see you a moment?" 1. George Pickens wished for a robbery because it would ___ .A. help him take money without being caught
B. make him look like a hero
C. show that Central Bank was important
D. he will be praised by the bank president2. Which of the following is suitable for the     ?A. I am old but I am strong.

D. It"s a coincidence.3. George fainted after the bank robber was gone because ____.A. he was terrified

C. he had to pretend he was terrified
D. he was too excited 4. Why didn"t George laugh at the end of the story?A. He turned pale and fainted again.
B. He knew that his stealing would be discovered.

阅读理解。     In 1986, when Monty Reed was a member of the Army Rangers (黑鹰突击队), he had an accident.
"It was a night jump, and we were jumping low," he recalls. "We were training. Somebody got too close
to my parachute (降落伞)."The parachute below blocked Reed"s air and his parachute failed to open.
Reed crashed a hundred feet to the ground, breaking his back in five places.
     The next morning, Reed could not move. "Doctors said it was likely that I would never walk again."
Reed stared out of his hospital window, wondering what the future would be like. It was the saddest
moment of his life. "The experts are telling me my body doesn"t work! What am I supposed to do?" he
thought.
     To distract (转移注意力) himself, he picked up a book: Robert Heinlein"s Starship Troopers. The
science-fiction describes a set of man-made muscles that would allow people to carry 2,000 pounds. He
thought that if he could build something like that, it might be able to lift him out of his wheelchair. So he
began his project and finally succeeded in building a set of robot legs. Several years later, he made an
amazing recovery and was able to get up and walk away from his wheelchair. He even jumped out of an
airplane again to celebrate.
     Reed wanted to do something for others with the second chance that life had given him. He has now
perfected the robot legs that can get the injured, the elderly and the paralyzed (瘫痪的) out of their
wheelchairs. Now he has started his own company to make the legs. "I"ve seen them compete in
marathons and go swimming and mountain climbing," he said. "So never give up!"1. Monty started to read Starship Troopers to ______.A. create a new kind of wheelchair for himself
B. discover how to make man-made muscles
C. learn how to jump out of an airplane
D. stop himself from thinking about his pain2. Which of the following is TRUE about Monty? A. He didn"t lose heart in the face of difficulty.
B. He is fond of reading science fiction.
C. He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
D. He didn"t believe what the doctors said. 3. We can learn from the passage that Monty"s goal is to ______. A. become a famous writer like Robert Heinlein.
B. return to the Army Rangers and continue with his jumps.
C. compete in games and marathons and go swimming.
D. help more patients in wheelchairs to recover.

     I was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for
somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact
the AA Company. Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind
blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets. It had
rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was
wearing a thick coat.
     There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask. I had
thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town
was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.
     Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from
sight in a dark narrow street. Next to it was the town" s only public call box, which badly needed a coat
of paint. I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was
a man inside. He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. I could not see his face and he
did not even raise his head at the sound of my footsteps.
      Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn.  It was when I
threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box
door.1. At what time was the story set? A. An early winter morning.
B. A cold winter afternoon.
C. An early summer morning.
D. A windy summer afternoon.2. Which of the following words best describe the writer"s impression of the town?

A. Cold and frightening.
B. Dirty and crowded.
C. Empty and dead.
D. Unusual and unpleasant.

3. The underlined word "trickling" in the last paragraph probably means ______.   A. rushing out suddenly
B. shining brightly
C. flowing slowly in drops
D. appearing slowly4. Why didn"t the man raise his head when the writer came near?  A. He was annoyed at being seen by the writer.
B. He was angry at being disturbed by the writer.
C. He was probably fast asleep.
D. He was probably murdered.
