at the car and said that he would hitchhike（搭便车）back.
Once I had 45 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 46 , saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he 47 me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater 48 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and 49 . While the little ones played and ran 50 , I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the 51 .

It takes courage to stand up at work．Now more and more people are standing up when they are working on something important．Standing up is in fashion．Medical researchers have found that people who stand at work tend to be much healthier than those who sit．But I wasn't just looking for better health — standing would also improve how I work and relax my body．
In recent years, many office supply companies have begun to sell adjustable desks．These so-called "sit / stand" models are equipped with an electric motor that lets them shift from chair height to person height at the push of a button．Unfortunately, sit / stand desks tend to be expensive, hard to find and not very easy to test in person．
I discovered that when I worked standing up, my mind was clearer and new ideas kept coming to me．I suspect that this is because when you're standing, you feel a bit unchained from your desk．If I got stuck on a word or sentence as I wrote it, I found myself shaking my arms, bouncing （跳） on my feet or stepping away from the desk for a bit — things I couldn't do in a chair．Often, standing up seemed to relax my mind enough for me to get over creative barriers．
There's another thing about standing for a long time: I tend to get hungrier than I do when I sit on a chair．That feels like confirmation（证实） of the stand-up advocates’ belief that you burn more calories when you stand than when you sit．For this reason alone, I' m hoping that one day mass-market furniture companies can make many low-priced versions of sit / stand desks．We could all work with a bit more standing up．
The author likes standing up while working because __________．
A．he wants to show that he has a lot of courage
B．researchers say standing makes one healthier
C．he intends to catch up the fashion trend
D．he hopes to improve his work and relax himself
It can be inferred from the text that ________．
A．adjustable desks are mass-produced now
B．adjustable desks are easy to operate
C．cheaper adjustable desks will soon be available
D．adjustable desks can be tried out easily
What is the main idea of the text?
A．Standing up at work is a better choice．
B．Standing up at work takes courage．
C．Standing up at work burns more calories．
D．Standing up at work will replace traditional sitting．

It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US President. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book.” However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar(说谎者)．
And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In The World Book Day survey, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding．
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named JK Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King. Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story．
So which books have you lied about reading —if any — and which is your favorite?
1.The main reason why people lie about reading is to __________.
A．make fun of the listener B．impress the listener
C．please the listener D．interest the listener
2.The underlined word “proceeded” in the passage probably means“___________”.
A．wanted B．happened C．continued D．stopped
3.What is the best title for the passage?
A．Are You A Book Liar? B．Readers Are All Liars
C．World Book Day D．Dreams From My Father

You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.
“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.
● Why should I be the one? I’m probably not the most competent person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
● What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
● No one else looks concerned- this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”
56. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?
A.I’m not the very person capable of setting the problenu.
B.It looks like we should do something.
C.It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.
D.He doesn’t really need my help.
57. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?
A.They will call for help and then walk away.
B. They will stop and offer help.
C. They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.
D.They will laugh at him.
58. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot ttouble, ．
A. we sbould call the ambulance as soon as we can.
B. we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.
C. we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.
D.we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility
59. In order to offer others your timely help, you need to ．
A. ask others for help and call the police
B.get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
C. go directly to the police station
D.work against the rirst thoughts that prevent you offering help
60. The main purpose of the text is to tell readers ．
A.to give others a hand B. to be more competent
C.not to risk looking foolish D.to stop and evaluate the situation
