B(22%)Direction:Read the following four passages.Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it,but it is also truethat we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.It takes an hour to like someone,and a day to love someone,but it takes a lifetime to forgetsomeone.Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back.Donot expect love in return;but if it does not,be content it has grown in yours.Do not rely on onesappearance;it can trick you.Do not rely on wealth;even that fades away.Rely on someone whomakes you smile,because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick themfrom your dreams and hug them.Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;bewhat you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you wantto do.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past.You cannot go on well in lifeuntil you let your past failures and heartaches go off.May you have enough happiness to makeyou sweet,enough trails to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope tomake you happy.The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything;they justmake the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness waits for those who cry,those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.Always put yourself inothers9 shoes.If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person,too.When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your lifeso that when you die,you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.65.In this

Tidy said the rodents(啮齿动物)were stopping their traditional hunts underground and were roaming the streets,temptedby discarded burgers,pizzas and crisps.4 fcThe rat population is on the rise and soon
