     One of Britain"s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer
David Bieber-and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share
of up to £30,000 reward money.
     Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked
at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber"s bedroom
and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the
building.
     She said:"I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in
the car park I was so glad they were there."
     The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm
the day before New Year"s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face.
She said:"He didn"t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact (接触)." Vicki, the only employee
on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
     Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to
make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
     "It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said "Would you go
and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?". My heart missed a beat."
     Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed
over the key.
     "I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see
into the man"s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his
hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was
handcuffed (带上手铐)."

1. The underlined phrase "be in line for" ( paragraph 1 ) means _____. A. get
B. be paid
C. ask for
D. own 2. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because _____. A. the police called her
B. he looked very strange

D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park 4. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in _____. A. the passage
B. the man"s room
C. Vicki"s bedroom
D. the top floor room 5. The whole event probably lasted about _____ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival

     My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent. I tried to do my best
to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior
year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this
rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
     One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. "Please God, I can"t do
anything more for my son. I"m at the end of my rope. I"m giving the whole thing up to you."
     I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to
you about Karl"s absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and
sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don"t know what
to do. I"ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It"s out of my hands."
For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for
your time", and hung up.
      Karl"s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally,  he even made the honor
roll
. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were
astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call
from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I"d play a joke but when I heard what you
said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That"s when I knew I had to make you proud."
1. By saying "Karl became withdrawn", the author means that the boy changed entirely and _____.
A. preferred to stay alone at home
B. lost interest in his studies
C. refused to talk to others
D. began to dislike his mother
2. There was silence on the other end of the line because _____.
A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother
B. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking
C. the speaker didn"t want the mother to recognize his voice
D. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother
3. The sentence"…he even made the honor roll" means that"_____ ".
A. he was even on the list to be praised at the parent-teacher meeting
B. he was even on the list of students who made progress in grades
C. he was even on the list of students who had turned themselves around
D. he was even on the list of the best students at school
4. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Children in single-parent families often have mental problems.
B. Mother"s love plays an important role in teenagers" life.
C. Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.
D. School education doesn"t work without full support from parents.

     He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the
Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him "our baby." In their
home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby"s grave (墓),
carved with the words:"To the memory of an unknown child." He has rested there ever since.
     But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from
Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. "This is our baby," says Magda Schleifer, 68, a
banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic
for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula
gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from
whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing."We thought they were all lost in the
sea," says Schleifer.
     Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby"s grave, scientists have compared the DNA from
the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and
never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the
family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They"ve taken
care of him for 90 years."
                                                                      Adapted from People, November 25, 2002

A. mother
B. parents
C. aunt

3. Some members of the family went to Halifax and put flowers at the child"s grave on Nov. 5 _____.
A. 1912
B. 1954
C. 2002
D. 2004
4. This text is mainly about how _____.
A. the unknown baby"s body was taken from the north Atlantic
B. the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia
