Daredevil climber Alain Robert, known as the French Spiderman, stood strong winds and rain to climb the world's tallest skyscraper, Taipei 101, Saturday．

Robert, dressed in red rain jacket, tights and climbing shoes, climbed up ropes hung down the side of the 101 storey, 1,667-foot office tower, reaching the top in around four hours．"It was a very big moment and I felt a lot of satisfaction though I was so tired and nearly all of my muscles were painful．I felt completely eased．" said Robert after taking the ride down in one of the tower's lifts, the world's fastest．

    Several hundred on-lookers and shoppers gathered at the base of the tower watching and cheering Robert's progress through live pictures on a large television screen．At times he disappeared from view as clouds passed by the top of the tower surrounding the upper stories．

   Probably many of you know the idiom “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. But do you believe a tooth for an eye? That’s something a little bit different.
This strange exchange is neither a form of retribution(報(bào)應(yīng)) nor an unexpected gift from the Tooth Fairy --- it’s actually a very generous gift from a young Irishman, Robert McNichol, 23, to his formerly blind father, 57-year-old Bob McNichol.
In 2005, Bob McNichol’s sight was destroyed in an accident when his eyes were doused(濺在……上面)with liquid aluminum(鋁). Doctors predicted that he would never be able to see again.
But McNichol never liked to take no for an answer: when he heard about a unique operation called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis, he knew he had to give it a shot, even though the success rate was a mere 65 percent.
In the technique, the eye socket(眼窩) is rebuilt and implanted(植入) with a human tooth and part of the jawbone, to provide support for an artificial cornea(角膜). Luckily for McNichol, Robert was willing to sacrifice one of his teeth to help his father regain his sight.
The technique isn’t simple: McNichol’s first stint on the operating table lasted ten hours, with a five hour follow-up session at a later date. But thanks to his son’s gift, he’s already seeing astonishing results.
“Now I have enough sight for me to get around and I can watch television. I have come out from complete darkness.” he told his friends.
【小題1】Bob McNichol lost his sight ____ .

A．a(chǎn)fter he had an operation on his eyes
B．because of an accident
C．because he met with a serious traffic accident
D．when he was 57 years old
【小題2】The underlined phrase “give it a shot” (in Paragraph 4) probably means “____”.
A．give it a tryB．make a remark C．fire a gunD．kick the ball
【小題3】The tooth Bobert donated to his father is used to ____ .
A．make the eye socket look prettierB．cause his jawbone to function well
C．help his father take in more foodD．support the implanted artificial cornea
【小題4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Father and sonB．A unique eye operation
C．A man defeating darknessD．Blind man sees with aid of son’s tooth

The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.

“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.

“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.

The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident. Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.

The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (數(shù)字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

1.In the story the Financial Controller was a person who was in charge of

A．Robert’s department’s programmes      B．EBC programmes

C．EBC money                            D．both B and C

2. “Your request is out of the question.”Here “out of the question”means

A．without any question                    B．with some question

C．impossible                             D．possible

3.Robert decided to make more programmes because

A．he wanted to meet the needs of the listeners

B．“the FC” disliked him

C．the members of his department wanted him to do so

D．he wanted to show himself off

4.Why were more and more people listening to Robert’s programmes?

A．Because he always lost his temper (脾氣)

B．Because he disliked “the FC”

C．Because the programmes were rich and to the taste of the listeners

D．We don’t know

5.Who do you think won the argument(爭(zhēng)論)in the end?
