It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized it was really the lady’s handwriting and did as he was asked. The dogs was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.At midday, the dog returned to the shop. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought apiece of paper in its mouth. This time, the butcher did not look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.But, the dog came again at fo ur o’clock. And the same thing happened again. To the butcher’s further surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.

Most senior citizens retire of no longer work full time. Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren. For many senior citizens, the years after age 65 are not enjoyable. They feel unproductive when they no longer work. Their lives lose meaning. In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families. Moreover, they became more concerned about their health as they grow older. If they live in big cities, they often worry about their safety.Other senior citizens enjoy their lives. They fell free to do things they were not able to do when they were working and raising families. They now have time to enjoy hobbies and sports and travel. They associate with their fellow senior citizens whohave common interests and equal free time. Many senior citizens move to retirement communities located in warm climate. Some senior citizens continue to work beyond retirement age. Many find new careers and professional opportunities after they retire.The number of the senior citizens in the United States is increasing rapidly because people are living longer than before. The average life span for Americans is now more than 74 years. Because of their larger numbers and more active life styles, senior citizens are gaining social influence in the country both politically and economically.

He had been attacked by a sick dog that had rabies, a very dangerous disease. His doctor tried to help him, but there was no cure for rab ies at that time. The doctor told Joseph’ s parents that perhaps there was one man who could save Joseph’s life. His name was Louis Pasteur.When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he was very curious. Louis was especially interested in medicine, so he spent many hours every day with the chemistwho lived in his small town. The chemist sold pills, cough syrups, and other types of medicine, just as modern pharmacists, or druggists, do today. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and listening to him help the customers who came to him each day. Pasteur decided that one day he wanted to help people, too.As a schoolboy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked the same thoughtful way. In fact, he was not a slow learner, but a very intelligent young man. He became a college professor and a scientist and he continued to work very carefully.Because of Pasteur’s patient methods, he was able to make many observations about germs. For example, germs cause meat and milk to spoil. They also cause many serious diseases. Pasteur was studying about the germs that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed he had a cure for rabies, but he had never given it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph, but his doctor said the child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation, or shot, everyday for ten days. Slowly, the child became better. Pasteur’s vaccination cured him.During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations that prevent many of these illnesses. He also invented the process of pasteurizations which stops foods such as milk from spoiling. Louis Pasteur died on September28, 1895, at the age of 72. Modern medicine continues to benefit from the work of this great scientist.61. We learn from the passage that __________.A)Joseph finally died of rabiesB)Joseph fell ill with a very dangerous diseaseC)Joseph’s doctor knew that Joseph’s disease could not be curedD)Joseph’s doctor turned to another doctor for help62. As a young boy, Pasteur __________.A)lived with a French chemistB)observed a chemist making medicineC)helped a chemist cure sick peopleD)served customers in a chemist’s shop63.

Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph at first because ________.A)he thought Joseph’s disease was caused by an unknown germB)he had never tried his way of treatment on anyone else beforeC)he saw that Joseph was dyingD)his medicine took effect very slowly65. During his lifetime, Pasteur ________.A)worked as a doctor and cured many peopleB)made major discoveries in the field of medicineC)mainly studied how diseases could be preventedD)studied the process of the spoiling of foodQuestions 66-70 are based on the following passage:Johnny was three when he ran away form home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields, and two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his mane and address.By the time he was seven, Johnny used to vanish from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. “Why do you do it?” they used to ask. “You aren’t unhappy at home, are you? ” “ Of course not,” Johnny replied. “Then why?” “ I just like seeing places,” Johnny told them.Johnny continued to “see places” although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a ling distance truck. Sometimes he used to travel hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to get on board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and , a few hours late, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some corridors and got on board the nearest plane.In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed maths and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” his teachers asked him. Johnny did not take long to answer that question. “An explorer!” He answered. “But it’s difficult to become an explorer in this modern age.” they tried to tell him, “unless you go into space!” but it was no use; Johnny know what he wanted!Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in one of the daily papers. An expedition was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were vacancies for three young people “willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure”. Johnny applied, and two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.66.
