I hadn’t been paying attention, and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him, and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license.“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”“No, I’m not.” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadn’t had time to re-register yet.“So what brings you here?” He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct ans wer. “Well, officer,” I said, “since you’ve asked, I have cancer.I have just months to live. We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”“So you’ve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? H e took a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.”He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me, or he’s telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without d irectly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.“Well, officer, I know that I look pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the tumors(肿瘤)are on the inside.” And then, I don’t know what possessed me, but I just did it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to a dying man. Well, he wasn’t taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor.” he said, “Slow down from now on.”The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization.I had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets. I drove home under the speed limit, and I was smiling like a beauty queen.24. The author was stopped by the police officer because ______.A. he drove too fastB. he forgot to re-registerC. he was seriously illD. he didn’t have a license25. The author moved to Virginia probably because ______.A. he was unhappyB. Virginia had better hospitalsC. he could spend more time with familiesD. he served in the army there26. On hearing about the author’s cancer, the police officer ______.A. said it was an excuseB. doubted his honestyC. showed sympathy for himD. asked him to show his scars27. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was ______.A. romanticB. adventurousC. dishonestD. optimisticCIn March 1987, I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence. It was a very proud moment for m e. I’d worked hard for over a year to create it, and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success.Shortly after we had mailed 25,000 copies, I received one in the mail. But this one wasn’t as beautiful as the ones we’d sent out. It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (语法错误) in it. A talented editor had read it carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined.I felt abashed. A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (内容). The stories were good, but the errors this woman had found showed that our magazine was far from being excellent.At first, I was not satisfied with my editor for not having avoided the mistakes, and dissatisfied with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out. Later, I was dissatisfied with myself for not having employed a better editor.Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistake. I called the talented editor.I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully. Painful as it was, I accepted responsibility for it.Then I offered her the job of editing our magazine. The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine.From this I learnt that an upsetting moment can be an opportunity to see the truth, and it can help to prevent one making the same mistakes, and to make "excellence" a reality.28. From the first paragraph we learn that _____.A. the author put little effort into her first magazineB. the author’s job was sel ling magazinesC. the author was very satisfied with her workD. the author experienced a total failure29. What does the underlined word "abashed" in the third paragraph mean?A. Excited.B. Embarrassed.C. Interested.D. Exhausted.30. What do we learn about the woman who found the errors in the magazine?A. She was causing trouble on purpose.B. She liked pointing out the errors of others.C. She contributed a lot to the success of the premiere issue.D. She ended up joining the magazine team.31. What do we learn from this passage?A. Pride is the biggest enemy of success.B. Success is behind many failures.C. Pointing out others’ mistakes can help you find a job.D. Accepting responsibility for one’s errors can lead to real excellence.DAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.32. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A. Because you eat too much for lunch.B. Because it’s hot in summer.C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.33. What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.C. If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease.D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health.34. What can we infer from the passage?A. You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals(间隔).B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB. All need a NapC. A Special Sleep PatternD.
