Pat, his sister kissed him and said, "You haven't changed much, Roy. Let me see, now——when did we meet last " "Twenty－five years ago, " he answered. "I came here for a week, do you remember " He added, "You haven't changed much, either. " It was polite for Roy to say so, but it wasn't true. Pat seemed almost an old lady. The next morning Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked quite different. There were lots of traffic signs on the roads and beside the roads. There was a new car park, a new post office and a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop somewhere: you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone! The school was gone; a lot of farm machineries stood on the playground! But Roy's biggest surprise was the people. He didn't recognize anybody at all; perhaps because everyone seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the children and young people " he asked the postmaster. The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children " he said. "They're in school, of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus——to Horham. " Horham was a town about twenty kilometers away. At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn't it " "It is all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place, but now it's full of old people. I don't understand..." "There are a few newcomers, but the ones we knew are still here. You're not exactly young yourself, Roy, are you "

Hot sun will dry out a snail's body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains, it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep. In spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. It can't see very well. Its eyes, at the ends of the top feelers(觸角)are very weak. But its sense of smell(味覺)is very strong. It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snail's little mouth goes to work. A snail's mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin(針). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are so small that you can't see them. But they do their work. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones. Mostly, a snail looks for food at night. But on cloudy days it eats in the daytime. It eats all day long. A snail can go on eating for hours and never feel full.

She did not look very happy. Bill asked her what was wrong. "The problem is ... " she began. But then she stopped. She did not find it easy to tell Bill about it, it seemed. "My husband and I wanted to meet here for lunch at 12," she said at last, "but he hasn't come. " "Well, don't you know where he is Can you ring him up " "No, I can't. " said the woman.

仔細(xì)閱讀下列短文, 根據(jù)題目, 選出最佳選項(xiàng). It's sometimes reported(報(bào)道) that people have seen strange objects(物體)high up in the sky. These unidentified flying objects桿FOs(不明飛行物) have made a lot of people interested. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe. Scientists have explained some of them, but not all of them. It is not easy to decide whether a report is true or not. One report of UFOs came from a British plane on its way from New York to London in 1954. The British plane was flying over an island at 19,000 feet when the captain(機(jī)長)noticed that something was on their left and a little lower than their plane. It's about five miles away. "It was not one object but several," the captain said. "We saw one large and six smaller objects. I sent out a radio to report about them and I received the answer that the other planes were coming out to meet us. Before the planes arrived, the smaller objects entered(進(jìn)入)the big object. The big object then became smaller and moved away fast. "

仔細(xì)閱讀下列短文, 根據(jù)題目, 選出最佳選項(xiàng). Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send ... " and so on Of course, it never happens quite like that. Anyone who learns a foreign language would think that it is not true. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. What is the mother tongue It is the first and main language that you learnt when you were a child. And think how much practice that a child gets! Before the Second World War, people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literary(文學(xué)的) works of the country. Nowadays, speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only two or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and many language learners need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work with a lot of training in reading, listening, speaking, and writing.

仔細(xì)閱讀下列短文, 根據(jù)題目, 選出最佳選項(xiàng). Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a talk, laugh, and do things with friends. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend. No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well. That doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places. There's more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't. Why It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

仔細(xì)閱讀下列短文, 根據(jù)題目, 選出最佳選項(xiàng). On a warm day last summer, I was walking by the sea. The waves came and went. But I didn't see them. I was lost in my thoughts. A row of small holes soon caught my eyes. They lay in the sandy earth by the side of a road. In a minute I would have stepped on them. What are these holes I wanted to know. I had an answer soon. A fat, hairy insect(昆蟲) climbed up from the earth. It had a wide tail. It was using the tail to dig in the ground. The insect moved round and round in one spot(地點(diǎn)). Soon it had made another hole. When it was finished, the insect itself hid in it. It covered its head with sand. By now my thoughts of the early morning had gone. This new hole and the insect were all my world. So I sat there by the side of the road. As I watched, a small ant(螞蟻) crossed the road. It passed by my foot, and then it crossed the sandy earth. In a little while it reached the edge(邊緣) of the road. I saw it start to fall in. The ant tried to turn back. But it couldn't. And then I knew why the holes were there. For just then the fat insect came up out of the hole. It ate the ant who was trapped(陷入圈套) there. Later I learned the insect's name. It's called ant lion. It digs holes to catch ants. I'll never forget that day. The holes looked so small to me. But to the ant and the ant lion, they were the whole world. I often took my walks by the sea that summer. But I never again learned as much.
