                                       A 

            In 1995 Patrick Combs was living in San Francisco and trying desperately to make ends meet. He had just written a guide for college students called Major in Success and he was using the book to build what he hoped would be a successful career as a motivational speaker,helping people to make the most of their talents and abilities. And no one needed his advice more than Patrick himself. Money had always been tight in Patrick's family and,at 28,he thought it was always going to be like that for him.

             But you never know your luck!He found himself looking at a junk mail promising that if he sent money to a certain company,he would soon be receiving huge cheques (iL#) which would make him rich. And to prove it,the company had put a sample cheque in with their letter.

             He thought it would be a funny joke to deposit (存儲) the cheque in his account. He would give bank employees a laugh when they discovered that “some stupid people” had tried to cash a junk mail cheque. So he wrote in the amount of the deposit, $95,093.35. 

             After ten days,much to his shock,he found that the cheque had been cleared and the money had been put into his account. The junk mail company had succeeded in making the cheque look real — far too real. With “money” in his account,Patrick became worried. He couldn’t think of anything else for two months. After researching his own legal position long and hard,he discovered that he was not legally responsible for returning the money — he had committed no crime.

             But in the end,Patrick decided to do the “right” thing. He returned the money to the bank. Patrick had by this time become famous and he used the story to make his career as a motivational speaker. Today his money worries are over.

   A. Money.      B. His book.

   C. His career. D. College studentsJ future.

22. Why did Patrick write down the amount of money?

   B. He looked up many legal rules.

   C. He worried about it for three months.

                The everyman's sport Freedom is a fundamental human right,one which should be valued most highly. Sometimes,though,freedom doesn't have to be 41 or controversial. Sometimes,freedom — 42 freedom 一 feels as simple as wearing a pair of comfortable shoes on a sunny day,and heading out for a 43 ,out into the unknown.

                 Usually,there is a(n) 44 to follow,maybe a park to run around or a river to run along. Even on the most 45 running routes,however,there is something different to see. Here in Germany,46 as I am by beautiful scenes of countryside,my favourite route is along the winding 47 ,along the banks of which wander herds of sheep,sometimes 48 your way,while Canadian geese fly overhead (在頭頂上) .Having a regular route might seem 49 ,but as you,ve seen it all before,it will seem shorter and the time will 50 quickly.

No specialist equipment is necessary; just a good pair of 57 ,and maybe an iPod if you want to run with some music. Running can 58 stress and it is also a sport in which anyone can 59 ,if given a little bit of time,practice and patience. Nike really did get it right with the slogan “Just do it!” 一 you won’t 60 it.
