    Miss Lovely began to work in our office last year. She thought she was    1   and hardly talked with us. Her house was a little far from our company and she had to take a taxi    2   . Of course she had to spend much    3    on it. She decided to have her own car, so she began to    4    to drive two months ago. Now she can drive and she has to    5     a license before she buys a car. It took her a week to    6 the traffic regulations. She was sure she would    7    the examinations.

    It was time for her to take the examinations yesterday. Miss Lovely didn't come to work. We    8    she would drive her new car to our company this morning. But to our    9    she came here by taxi and didn't tell anybody about it. None of us asked her the    10    but her face clearly showed she had    11    in the exams.

    This afternoon one of our workmates told us    12    had happened to the girl when she was    13   . Yesterday the chief examiner asked her some questions, but she could answer    14    . For example, “Will you run over a man or a dog if you see they are both in the middle of the    15    ?”

    “Of course I'll run over the dog, sir,” Miss Lovely answered without    16   .

    “I'm sorry to tell you. Miss Lovely.” the examiner shook his    17    and said, “you have to take the next examinations!”

    “I don't think my answers were    18    , sir.” the girl said in a hurry. “I    19    run over a man, you know!”

    “I agree to your    20    , Miss Lovely,” the chief examiner said with a smile. “But why not brake your car?”

Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it lately, and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only planting new kinds of crops, but some    1    ways of making money, the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing. Yes, you heard me    2   ! A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100 000 people have    3    to watch the race. “I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday,” one punter (赛马经纪人) told me, “and I thought I'd have a look. I didn't believe it was serious, to tell you the truth.” According to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse    4   , and there are clear favorites.    5    nobody has heard anything about these    6   ! Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any case.” I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite    7   . In a usual sheep race, half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the    8    just to give them some encouragement. I ought to add! The sheep run surprisingly fast,    9    they have probably not eaten for a while. Anyway, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races,    10    by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.

When dawn came, they realized that the entire boat was    1    with ice. The captain has fallen    2    but the rest of the crew hurriedly woke him. He took a small axe and    3  great care, so as not to    4    a hole in the deck, he began to knock the ice away. Each member of the crew took    5    to cut the ice away for as    6    as he could bear it. Standing up on that roiling deck would have been    7    one's life because a man who has fallen overboard could not have been saved.

In the  16 of this new danger, the captain decided that it was    17    risky to depend on the    18  that the boat should survive until the next morning.

Alex felt restless. Along with his sister Rosita and his friend Hugo, Alex had been waiting in the cave for nearly three hours    1    either an attack from the returning robbers or the    2 of a rescue party, but nothing had happened. He and Rosita had some    3    and a sleep, and now it was Hugo's turn to sleep after his meal. Rosita was    4    in the entrance to the cave keeping watch on the valley below. Alex threw himself down beside her.

    “I do hope Ruark is all right,” she said, her eyes on the view outside. “I keep hoping I will __5    him somewhere.”

    “I'm sure he's okay,” answered Alex. “I'm pretty    6    the enemy thought it was a ground 7   . Anyway, they were too busy rushing to    8    in their jeep to    9    time firing at a condor (神鹰). I'm not worried about him. What I am worrying about, though, are the words on that    10    that was tied to Ruark's leg. I keep saying the words to myself: What about the cave? There's a two-meter hole at the back of it. No one will find it. There are so many caves ... The money they stole is hidden somewhere out there and I should hate them to come back and 11 it from under our noses.”

    “Well,” replied his sister, “you    12    what the man said. There are so many caves. At a 13  ,  I can see about two hundred of them dotted around. It could take a week to    14    in them all.” “Yes. It's a    15    hiding place, but I think we have one clue (线索)that might help us. Ruark was perched (落)somewhere    16    enough for the tape to pick up their 17   . He was probably situated just above the entrance. Condors are not    18    tiny birds so he may have been on a shelf or an overhanging rock    19    enough to take his big feet and body.” Alex    20    closed his eyes against the strong light outside and tried to examine the opposite side of the valley.

Since 1939, numerous scientific studies have been conducted to determine    1    smoking is a health threat. The    2    of the    3    has been consistent (constant) and indicates that there is a serious health risk. Research teams have conducted studies that show    4    all reasonable doubt that tobacco smoking, particularly cigarette smoking is    5    with a    6 life expectancy (time). Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this    7   to be an important    8    in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the throat and is believed to be related    9    cancer of other organs. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death    10    from heart disease than non-smoking males. (Female smokers are thought to be 11    affected because they do not breathe in the smoke    12    deeply.) The    13    of physicians and researchers consider these relationships proved    14    their satisfaction and say, “Give    15    smoking, if you don't smoke don't start!”

    Smoking does    16    to the lungs. Smoking also affects the heart and blood vessels. Smokers also die much more often    17    heart disease.

    While all tobacco smoking affects life expectancy and health, cigarette smoking appears to have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking.    18  ,  nicotine consumption is not decreased by the latter forms, and current research indicates a    19    relationship between all forms of smoking and cancer of the mouth and throat. Filters and low tar tobacco are claimed to make smoking to some    20    safer, but they can only marginally reduce, not eliminate the threats.

In Renee Smith's classroom, attendance is up, trips to the headmaster's office are down and students are handing in assignments on time. The Springfield High School teacher says she has seen great    1    since adding a few new students to her class —five Labrador puppies and their father.

    The seven    2    students in Smith's class have a history of discipline    3   . But since they've started teaching the dogs obedience (顺从), their own    4    has improved. A dog trainer Chuck Reynolds    5    the students a new trick each week that they then work on with the puppies. At night, the dogs go home with the staff members who have raised them. They get dropped off in the morning,    6    a parent would take a child to day care.

    Smith said she came up with the idea when her dog had puppies and she saw how    7    her own children responded to them. She consulted with school psychologist Kristin Edinger,   8 they took the idea—along with letters from students    9    the programme—to the school board. A pet therapist said. “What you are trying to teach is    10    and that there are consequences for the decisions you make.”
