Last July, Mr Johnson's 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before the sun went down, and he was 25 miles from home. He couldn't reach anyone to pick him up, so he decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes（路线）, he thought he'd just head east.
A bus pulled up, and he asked the driver how far she was going,“Four more lights,”she said. There was another bus he could take from there.“This clearly was going to be a long night,”Mr Johnson said to himself.
She dropped Mr Johnson off at the end of her route and told him which bus to look for. After waiting 45 minutes, he began to think about riding a taxi home although it would be very expensive. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield（挡风玻璃）. It was out of service. But the door opened, and he was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
“I just can't leave you here,”she said.“This isn't the nicest place. I'll give you a ride home.”
“You'll drive me home in the bus?”he asked, perplexed（困惑的）.
“No, I'll take you in my car,”she said.
“It's a long way,”he protested.
“Come on,”she said.“I have nothing else to do.”
As they drove from the station in her car, the driver began telling him a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car.“I'm just passing the favor along,”she said.
When Mr Johnson gave her money as a thank-you, she wouldn't hear of it.“That wouldn't make it a favor,”she said.“Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”
(1)Why did Mr Johnson say that he would have a long night? Because ________.
[ ]
A．he didn't know the routes
B．no driver would give him a ride

[ ]

B．no one would come to help him
C．a taxi ride would be more comfortable
D．he knew the driver would never return
(4)The bus driver drove Mr Johnson home later be- cause ________.
[ ]
A．she did as her brother had told her
B．she happened to go in the same direction（方向）

（C）
Astronaut Jim Voss has enjoyed many memorable moments in his career，including three space flights and one space walk. But he recalls with special fondness a decidedly earthbound（为地球引力所束缚的）experience in the summer of 1980 when he participated in the NASA ASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship Program. Voss， then a science teacher at West Poin，was assigned to the Marshall Space Flight Center's propulsion（推进） lab in Alabama to analyze why a hydraulic fuel pump seal （液压燃料泵的密封圈）on the space shuttle（航天飞机） was working so well when previous seals had failed. It was a seemingly tiny problem among the vast complexities of running the space program. Yet it was important to NASA because any crack in the seal could have led to destructive results for the astronauts who relied on them.
“I worked a bit with NASA engineers，” says Voss， “but I did it mostly by an analysis. I used a handheld calculator， not a computer， to do a thermodynamic（热力学的） analysis.” At the end of the summer，he，like the other NASA ASEE fellows working at Marshall，summarized his findings in a formal presentation and detailed paper. It was a valuable moment for Voss because the ASEE program gave him added understanding of NASA，deepened his desire to fly in space，and intensified his application for astronaut status.
It was not an easy process. Voss was actually passed over when he first applied for the astronaut program in 1978. Over the next nine years he reapplied repeatedly，and was finally accepted in 1987. Since then he has participated in three space missions. The 50 year old Army officer，who lives in Houston，is now in training for a four-month mission as a crew member on the International Space Station starting in July 2000.
Voss says the ASEE program is wonderful for all involved. “It brings in people from the academic world and gives NASA a special property for a particular period of time. It brings some fresh eyes and fresh ideas to NASA，and establishes a link with our colleges and universities，” Voss explains. “There's an exchange of information and an exchange of perspectives that is very important.”
For the academic side，Voss says，the ASEE program also “brings institutions of higher learning more insight into new technology. We give them an opportunity to work on real world problems and take it back to the classroom.”
66. Why was the hydraulic fuel pump seal important for the space shuttle？
A） Because previous seals all failed.
B） Because it was very complex in running the space program.
C） Because great care has to be taken of the hydraulic fuel pump sealing.
D） Because any crack in the seals would cause disastrous results for the astronauts.
67.The great significance of Voss's findings lies in_________ .
A） strengthening his determination to join in space flights
B） furthering his understanding of NASA
C） consolidating his astronaut status in NASA programs
D） Both A and B
68. How many flights will Voss have finished if his four-month mission starting in July 2000 ends up successfully？
A） Three B） Two C） Four D） Five
69. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to what Voss said on the ASEE program？
A） Fresh members from the academic world participate in the program.
B） The program brings new outlooks to NASA space programs.
C） It is important for the space scientists to exchange information and perspectives.
D） American colleges and universities are a special property of NASA.
70. What does Voss want to stress in the last paragraph？
A） The technological significance of the program.
B） The educational significance of the program.
C） The philosophical significance of the program.
D） The historical significance of the program.

One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn’t or couldn’t sleep, I tried everything I could think of: a warm bottle, songs gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill of the hours till dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, and his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi’s forty-fifth birthday.
My wife and I heard none of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself.
I found in my baby’s behavior a symbol of the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight about it? Let them watch it all they want!
【小题1】Why did the author bring a TV set into his son’s room?
| A．To make his son keep quiet. | B．To spend the night by watching TV programs. |
