B As a traffic policeman, I have often heard all the excuses told by drivers whose driving speed is too fast. On a cold winter evening, I was carrying out my work in a patrol(巡逻) car when a completely new Blue Bird passed by mine at astonishing speed. I managed to catch up with it, and then got in the way. A young man got out of his car, saying that someone in his car was seriously ill, and that he was taking a patient to the hospital. I let the man go, but I decided to follow the driver to the hospital, for I had been cheated by some other drivers quite a few times. At the parking place in front of the hospital, I was really feeling foolish about not trusting the driver when the young man tried to get an elderly lady off his car. I was about to give the young man a hand when I heard the struggling woman say in an angry voice, “ leave me alone. You told the policeman someone was sick, so you should be the patient.” 45．When the story took place , the writer was ____.

Soon when smokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list. "The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young," said David Byrne, an EU health official. "Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes." The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings included "smoking kills" and "smoking can lead to a slow and painful death." So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable (可避免的) death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute. 49．The photos on the cigarette packets are used to ________. A. encourage people to smoke. B. discourage people to smoke. C. make the packets look beautiful. D. frighten young people who are not brave enough. 50．Which of the following statements is true? A. “smoking kills” will be seen on cigarette packets. B. 42 photos have been used. C. “smoking kills” are already being used. D. most nations have shown interest in the photos. 51．Pictures of ______ might be seen on the cigarette packets. A. someone smokingB. blackened lungs C. damaged heartsD. a true face 52．Which of the following can be the title of this passage? A. Pictures to Shock Smokers.B. Smoking is Bad C. Warnings on Packets D. Nations to Work Together D “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation(回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining rather desolately(凄凉的). I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious. But now… I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always imposes his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can’t stand his outrageous(蛮横的) words: “ I can throw you away, let alone these old papers.” All the lights were off except father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love – is second to none. (责任编辑：admin) |
