    A businessman lost his wallet. There was plenty of money in it. So he made a promise, "If someone finds my wallet and returns it to me, I'll give half the money to him."
    A dustman found the wallet in a dustbin. He sent it back to the loser. But the businessman changed his mind.
    "There was still a diamond ring in my wallet," said the loser, "I won't give half the money in my wallet to you until you return it to me!"
    "I've never seen a diamond ring in the wallet," said the dustman.
    They began to quarrel. The businessman refused to do what he had said. The dustman became angry and took him before a judge.
    After the judge heard what had happened to them, he said to the businessman, "I'm sure you are an honest man. It's true that you have lost a wallet in which there was a diamond ring. But it's also clear that there is only a lot of money in this wallet. I don't think it's yours. Wait for some time. Perhaps someone will be able to return your wallet to you!"
    Then the judge turned to the dustman and said, "Take the wallet home. If the loser doesn't go to get it back in three days, it will belong to you!"

    After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletes have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest Paralympics athletes did not take part.
    She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thormpson. Born with spine hifida (脊椎裂) which left her paralysed from the waist. Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. at first, she did not like sports, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found she began to love athletics, and never looked back.
    Indeed, Tanni’s athletic career took off . In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100metres at the Junior National Wheelchair Games.
    In 1988, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 metres. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelonn. Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories.
    Tanni’s success had been part motivation(动机), part preparation, “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter(短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I want to see…. I am still competing at a very high level, but as I get older, things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”
    Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
    In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in series of Paralympics- a top level athletic career covering two decades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records.
    What advice does she have for young athletes? “Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and train again.”
    小题1:Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen?
    A．BasketballB．Swimming.C．Tennis.D．Horse-riding.
    小题2:When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?
    A．In 1984.B．In 1988.C．In 1992.D．In 2007.
    小题3:The underlined word “that” in the 5th paragraph refers to _______.
    A．fifty weeks’ training
    B．being a good sprinter
    C．training almost every day
    D．part motivation and part preparation
    小题4:What can we learn from Tanni’s success?
    A．Union is strength.B．Never too late to learn.
    C．Well begun is half done.D．No pains, no gains.

    Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest and widely loved silent movie stars. From “Easy Street” (1917) to “Modern Times” (1936), he made many of the funniest and most popular films of his time. He was best known for his character, the naive and lovable Little Tramp. The Little Tramp, a well meaning man in a raggedy suit with cane, always found himself wobbling into awkward situations and strangely wobbling away. More than any other figure, it is this kind-hearted character that we associate with the time before the talkies (sound films).
    Born in London in 1889, Chaplin first visited America with a theater company in 1907. Appearing as “Billy” in the play “Sherlock Holmes”, the young Chaplin toured the country twice. On his second tour, he met Mack Sennett and was signed to Keystone Studios to act in films. In 1914 Chaplin made his first one-reeler, “Making a Living”. That same year he made thirty-four more short films, including “Caught in a Cabaret”, “Caught in the Rain”, “The Face on the Bar-Room Floor”, and “His Trysting Place”. These early silent shorts allowed very little time for anything but physical comedy, and Chaplin was a master at it.
    Though Chaplin is of the silent movie era, we see his achievements carried through in the films of today. With the appearance of the feature-length talkies, the need for more subtle acting became apparent. To maintain the audience’s attention throughout a six-reel film, an actor needed to move beyond constant comedy. Chaplin had demanded this depth long before anyone else. His strictness and concern for the processes of acting and directing made his films great and led the way to a new, more sophisticated, cinema.
    小题1:Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．“The little Tramp” was the only character that Charlie Chaplin acted.
    B．Charlie Chaplin signed to Keystone Studios in 1906.
    C．Charlie Chaplin made five short films in 1914.
    D．Charlie Chaplin has a great effect on today’s sound film.
    小题2:What is the right order according to the passage?
    a. Charlie Chaplin made the film “ Easy Street”.
    b. The film “Caught in the rain” was made.
    c. Charlie Chaplin first visited America.
    d. Charlie Chaplin met Mack Sennett.
    e. “Modern Times” was made.
    A. d, c, a, e, b         B d, c, b, a, e           C. c, d, b, a, e          D. c, d, a, b, e
    小题3:Which word can best describe Charlie Chaplin according to the passage?
    A．lovable B．kind-hearted C．strict D．awkward
    小题4:What do you think is the passage about?
    A．Life of ChaplinB．Works of Chaplin
    C．Characters of ChaplinD．An introduction of Chaplin

    Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after 31 thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head 32 his walking stick．McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a 33  person, he had been 34 to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often．
    Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a 35 collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays 36 .
    “For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our37 ,” said Laurence．She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant 38  bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks．“We'd be 39 there happily reading our newspapers, when 40 so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd 41 with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the 42 of fish!”
    And on Saturday evening it was just too 43. “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake．The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.” 44 , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet 45．Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast．“I couldn't 46 him．He was up there in a flash．It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
    Smith is not going to take things further with the police．He has also promised to change his 47 from now on．And what of James McKay? 48 he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”．“49 the most exciting birthday 50 !” said the cheerful old man．“The best since my adolescence I'd say!”
