I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, Id have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.    But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.    My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.     Now I had to act as my own lawyer.

How was that day? the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood. When I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable and looked at the collection of unattractive objects: a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens and yellow envelopes. Therefore, my eyes were finally fixed on the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the film of dust (一层尘土)through which I was looking; but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.6. The story takes place in the _.    A. early spring  B. late summer C. mid-summer D. late autumn7. Why did the writer go past Sheftel's?   A. He wanted to buy some envelopes.  B. He was on his way to work.  C. He was going to Cleveland. D. He was on his way to school8. Why does the author mention his niece?   A. She likes dolls.   B. She lives near Sheftel's.  C. He was looking for a gift for her D. The doll looks like her. 9. What made an impression on the author?   A. The collection of toys. B. A stranger he met at the store C. The doll's unusual face. D. The beauty and size of the doll.  CAt the time of childhood, I often wondered when I could have the chance to go to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too.      Money is a big advantage. Going out costs so much, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.      As every coin has two sides, so does living in the city, which also has its disadvantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.      Is city life better than the country life? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens (十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.10. What was the writers dream when he was a child?A. Staying on the farm. B. Leaving home for the city.C. Moving to the countryside. D. Running away from the school.11. In this passage, the writer tries to _.A. persuade the reader to live in the city B. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside world D. express his opinions about way of life12. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferring（推理）. B. By comparing（比较）. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.DFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists have also sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such Message. Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years off Earth. In addition, they will scan(扫视) the entire sky to"listen" for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy(银河系), scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like Earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution(进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable(可以居住的) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life. However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent(有智力的) life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely. Other scientists believe that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking. 13. How many planets in the Milky Way Galaxy might be inhabitable? A. 5 billion. B. 10 billion. C. 15 billion. D. 200 billion. 14.Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage? A. Our sun family is about 20 billion years old.B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. C. Scientists try to send radio and television messages in order to get in touch with someone in outer space.D. Scientists don't believe that there might be life on other planets.15. In what kind of magazine can you get this passage?A. Art and literature B. Entertainment C. Sports D.
