In 1947 the pilot of a small aeroplane saw nine strange objects in the sky over Washington. He said that they looked like 1 . Newspapers printed his story under the 2 "Flying Saucers".

Since then, all over the world, people have 3 seeing similar strange objects. No one knows  4 they are or where they come from. Some people say that they do not 5  , but many others say that they have seen them. Usually people on the ground have seen them 6 not always. Airline  7   also have reported seeing them and so have   8    ── the men who fly in spaceships.

Perhaps some people saw them only in their  9 . Perhaps some people made a mistake. But airline pilots and astronauts do not usually make 10 of this kind．Captain Ed Mitchell, who was the sixth man to 11  on the moon, said in 1974 that he believes that some "flying saucers" are  12  . Many other people now believe that these  13  flying objects are visiting the 14   from other worlds in space.

The American government   15    to find out more about these objects. It listened to a great many people who said they had  16   them. But the Government Committee could not decide on what the objects were. It called them UFOs, which is   17   for "Unidentified Flying Objects".

In 1964, a driver of a police car in New Mexico saw a UFO landing a mile away. When he reached it, there were two small figures   18    near it. They looked like little men. When he reported on his radio, they got inside the object and   19  away.

When might you need to give blood for a personality test? The answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job．

Some people believe that your blood group hides no secrets. It shows the “real you”. And the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at a certain task. This is the very reason why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job．

The new idea was carried out first in Japan and now it has been brought over to other parts of the world．One important business company in Japan is quite special about these needs: “For our office members, we must have 30 percent of those with group A and 15 percent with AB, 25 percent with B. ”

Do you happen to know that if your own blood group is O, you can get things done and sell the goods well? People with blood group A are thinkers, while those with blood group B are highly creative. And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them. So if you visit the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping order in the office.

1．This passage seems to lead you to believe that _______.

A．your blood group could affect your work

B．blood types can never change your life

C．the idea about blood groups has little scientific basis

D．one’s personality will never change through out one’s life

2．People belonging to blood group B might be good at _______.

A．sports and games                           B．painting and writing

C．doing office work                           D．smoothing away difficulties

3．From the passage, we know _______.

A．four kinds of blood groups were discovered in Japan

B．people of good blood groups might do their work very well

C．knowing your own blood group can help you get a good job

D．more and more countries have accepted the new idea about blood groups

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?

       Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors（味道）.

       Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field．

       In a typical morning on the job．Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12°F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”

       While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself，“Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!

    Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy – working at one cool job．

1．What is John Harrison’s job?

       A．An official.                                         B．An ice-cream taster.

       C．A chemist.                         D．An ice-cream manufacturer.

2．According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to       .

       A．have a degree in related subjects            B．keep a diary of daily work

       C．think up new ideas every day                D．find out new flavors each day

3．What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

A．He stirs the ice cream.

B．He examines the color of the ice cream.

C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.

D．He lets the ice cream warm up.

4．Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A．Tasting with Eyes                              B．Flavors of Ice Cream

C．One Cool Job                           D．John Harrison’s Life

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends.

But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching for his book.

Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?

Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don't know much. All I am is rich.

    People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the enD．Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

2．The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ___.

A．is a good way to test your friendship

B．will do harm to your friendship

C．will strengthen your friendship

D．is a good way to break off your friendship

3．What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?

B．He does not think that he is a very important person.

C．He does not think that being rich deserves so much attention.
