A wallet misplaced during a romantic embrace has been returned to its forgetful owner after 55 years.

Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage (舊式的) car they were planning to restore. After an Internet search they found and contacted the owner, Glenn Goodlove. Mr. Goodlove said he probably lost the wallet in the back seat of his 1946 Hudson car while kissing a girl when he was home on leave from the US Navy.

Jon Beck, 61, and Chuck Merrill, 72, bought the now-vintage vehicle in Idaho after placing an ad in a local newspaper to buy a classic car in need of restoration. Driving the car home after buying it, the collectors stopped at a restaurant and saw something from below the back seat.

“Like a couple of kids, we thought we had a goldmine,” Mr. Beck said. Instead, they found some small change ― the leather wallet held a $10 bill, Mr. Goodlove’s military ID, his social security card, his driver’s license and several jewellery receipts from 1952. But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam.

After searching online, Mr. Beck discovered that Mr. Putnam had since changed his name to Glenn Goodlove and moved to San Diego, California. He called Mr. Goodlove, asking to speak to a man who used to drive a ’46 Hudson.

“There was a silence for about 15 seconds,” Mr. Beck told the Twin Falls Times-News. “Then he said, ‘Who is that?’” Mr. Goodlove, now 75, says he did not even remember losing the wallet, but the find has brought memories of his youth in Everett, Washington, flooding back. “I could see the house and the car and the town and all the good stuff from living there,” he said. “They’ve been flowing ever since he talked to me.”

 

 65.The lost wallet contained all the following EXCEPT ______.

A. some money                                       B. some jewellery

C. some receipts                                      D. some cards

66.Which of the following happened last?

A. The vintage car   was purchased.             B. An advertisement was placed

C. Mr. Goodlove’s name was changed.       D. Some personal belongings were found

67.What difference did the wallet make to Glenn?

A. He gained unexpected wealth

B. He got back his lost car as well

C. He improved his poor memory a lot

D. He recalled what had long been forgotten.

68.The most proper title for the passage is ______

A.A Forgetful Wallet Owner                      B. Two Car Collectors and a Good Deed

C. Price Paid for Romance                        D. Lost Wallet Found after 55 Years

The Academy Awards, affectionately known as the Oscars, are the oldest, best known, most influential and famous of film awards.

Ever since 1941, when the now-famous confidential (機密的) envelope system was   43  , marking the first year of complete secrecy, “the Envelope Please” has become a familiar   44that calls up the thought of the Academy Awards ceremony.

From 1955 to 1958, they were presented on a Wednesday. From 1959 until 1998 the Oscars were, with a few exceptions, presented on a Monday night. Only since 1999 has the Awards ceremony taken place on a Sunday (  46   in March). In 2004, the ceremony was moved even earlier to improve ratings and to be more   47   to the awards “season”.
