I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee.When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he‟d started to eat my chocolate!Naturally, I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn‟t want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn‟t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” and I got it.The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There‟s something wrong with this woman!” Everybody looked at me, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and ready to leave.

It was a large, old wooden house----the sort that burn beautifully-----and my room was on the floor. I jumped out of the bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see flames all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air out side, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry.I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a nightdress and a borrowed man‟s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.“My baby! My baby!” she cried.

It was still too early for me to have my evening meal, so I walked along the seafront (滨海马路) for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently complimented (赞美, 恭维) him on hisexcellent cooking.I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me, I certainly did not know him, for I never forgot a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I addressed each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well known in the restaurant. Eventually he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without another glance in my direction.When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant over and asked him what the man had wanted. The owner was a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “Really?” I said, considerably surprised. “He followed you here because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner of the restaurant said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photograph of the wanted man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we know you here, I was able to convince him that he had made a mistake.” “It‟s lucky I came to a restaurant where I am known,” I said, “otherwise I might have been arrested!”91.When the author got to his favorite restaurant, it was ___________ .A. already nine o‟clockB. eight o‟clock on the do tC. about two minutes past eightD. slightly later than eight o‟clock92.The man sitting at the corner table near the door kept glancing in the direction of the author because he was __________________ .A. interested in the personality of the authorB. making a study of the authorC. looking up and down the authorD. keeping a lookout over the author93.The author was followed by the detective probably because he ___________ .A. took after a suspectB. was similar to a criminal in personalityC. was an accompliceD. looked like a murderer94.The detective had a newspaper open in front of him in order to ____________ .A. read it in detailB. cover up what he was really doing thereC. have it recheckedD. wait for his food95.According to the text, if the author had been a stranger in the restaurant, he would have been ____________________.A. taken to courtB. followedC. capturedD. sentenced to a few years‟ imprisonmentPassage DAt Harton College---an English boarding school for boys---there are many rules. Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks these rules.The boys can go into town in the afternoon after classes. But they must return to the school at six o‟clock. One afternoon B ob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film he looked at his watch. It was after eight o‟clock. He was a little worried.He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He looked up at the window of his dormitory. It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he went round the school building to another door. That one was locked too. He couldn‟t climb up the wall very easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster‟s study.He looked into the room-----no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill (窗台) and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then some one turned on a light in the corridor. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr. Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read.Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He could not move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster‟s shoes and socks for an hour.“Why doesn‟t he get up and go to bed?” he thought.Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up.

However, at an on-campus job51 in Jiangsu Province students found it difficult to get a good offer from big companies. It seemed that most companies preferred undergraduates. 52, some of the postgraduates ascribed （归因于）their failure in job hunting to the53 three-year education.In my opinion, this phenomenon has much to do54 our educational system. In China, most students work hard only55 a high score on exams, while totally ignoring the importance of practical skills. Young college students choose to continue their studies for a higher degree, because they believe the diploma can make them more 56 in job hunting. However, it is a misunderstanding that all companies will think 57 of the applicant with a master's degree. In fact, what most transnational corporations want is an employee with rich work experience. Nowadays, employers pay more attention to58 skills and innovation ability，59 will enable their employees to make greater contributions and bring more benefits to the company. In this situation, those who have a higher degree but lack practical skills will not be60. Furthermore, postgraduates usually61 a higher salary, while undergraduatestend to be satisfied with a lower starting salary. The best way to62 a company is to save costs and improve work efficiency. If you were the employer, would you be willing to pay more money63 an employee with less experience?
