12、.But only two days after he arrived,Clyde went missing.He had dug his way underone of the walls and was nowhere to be seen.The zookeepers set up cages inside the zoo,with plates of Clydes favorite fish inthem,hoping to catch him.Two days went by and still there was no sign of Clyde.At last a couple

13、saw Clyde at their house a whole kilometer away in Newtown.Clyde washiding in an out-of-reach hole outside their laundry.The zookeepers arrived and set up some more traps to try to catch him.But Clyde is a pretty smartotter.Twice he managed to get the fish out of a trap without being caught.Five day

14、s after hed escaped,Clydes days on the run came to an end when he was finally caughtin one of the traps.It was no good putting Clyde back in his old home-hed only dig his way out again.So he andBonnie were put into the zoo hospital.There was no chance of their escaping from there.Meanwhile,the zooke

15、epers were working hard to make Clydes old home safer.They put an ironbanner underground to stop him digging their way out.Then Bonnie and Clyde went home again.But a month after his first escape,Clyde was out again.Once more the zookeepers camehurrying to catch Clyde.They found him by following the

16、 bubbles he made in the river nearby.Nobody knew how Clyde had escaped.But this time he was only out for an hour.So-back hewent to the hospital again.Poor Clyde.It seemed that he wasnt happy at Wellington Zoo,even though he and Bonnie weregetting on well together.The keepers didnt like seeing him un

19、ews report.B.An advertisement.C.A book review.D.A research paper.BBeat the BurglarDont invite crime-take basic,sensible precautions.Your house and possession are valuable andmust be properly protected.When you buy a lock,you buy time.The best prevention is delay andnoise which could mean discovery.W

20、hen you leave it-lock it!First of all,fit security locks to all doors andwindows and a safety chain on the front door.Secondly,use them!If you have any ladders or tools,dont leavethem lying about in the garden,lock themaway.Safe or secret”places for keys andvaluables are not reliable-nine times out

21、often,they are the first place a thief will look.When you move house.When you move into a new home even if it isfitted with security locks,change them.Youdont know who else may have keys.Never let strangers into your house.Anofficial-looking cap is not enough,ask for proofof identity and look at it

22、carefully-if you arestill not satisfied,dont let the person in.Valuables need special protectionValuables should really be given specialprotection-preferably by leaving them withyour bank.A small security safe works too,butnot to the most determined burglar.It is alsoimportant to keep an up-to-date

23、list of valuablesand their descriptions.In the case of fine art,paintings,or jewelry,color photographs cansometimes be of assistance to the police if youare unfortunate enough to have them stolen.Enter the details on the back of the pictures.But dont keep such documents in your house,keep them at th

24、e bank or with your insuranceGoing on holiday?Dont talk about your holidays and future plansloudly in public.Do remember to cancel themilk and newspapers and also to draw curtainsback.Operate a“Good Neighbor“program to ensurethat mail is taken in,the house is checkedregularly and that lights are put

28、importance of security locks.D.To educate people on prevention of burglars.COne of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth.We naturally expect thata doctors salary will be higher than a bus conductors wages.But the question becomes muchmore difficult to answer when we compa

29、re a miner with an engineer,or an unskilled man workingon an oil-rig（钻探平台）with a teacher in a secondary school.What the doctor,the engineer andthe teacher have in common is that they have devoted several years to studying in order to obtainthe necessary qualifications for their professions.We feel i

30、nstinctively that these skills and theseyears should be rewarded.At the same time we recognize that the work of the miner and theoil-rig laborer is both hard and dangerous,and that they must be highly paid for the risks they take.Another aspect we must take into consideration is how socially useful

31、a mans work is.Mostpeople would agree that looking after the sick or teaching children is more important than,say,selling second-hand cars.Yet it is almost certain that the used-car salesman earns more than thenurse and the schoolteacher.Indeed,this whole question of just rewards can be turned on it

32、s head.You can argue that aman who does a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his rewardin the form of a so-called“psychic（精神的）wage”,and that it is the man with the boring,repetitive job who needs more money to make up for the soul-destroying repetitiveness of his

33、work.It is significant that the jobs like nursing and teaching continue to be poorly paid,whileothers,such as those in the world of sport or entertainment,carry financial rewards out of allproportion to their social worth.Although the amount of money that people earn is largely determined by market

34、forces,thisshould not prevent us from seeking some way to decide what is the right pay for the job.A startingpoint would be to try to decide the ratio（比率）which ought to exist between the highest and thelowest paid.The picture is made more complicated by two factors:firstly by the welfare benefitswhi

35、ch every citizen receives,and secondly by the taxation system which is often used as aninstrument of social justice by taxing high incomes at a very high rate indeed.Most countries nowregard a ratio of 7:1 as socially acceptable.If it is less,the highly-qualified people carrying heavyresponsibilitie

36、s will become disappointed,and might even end up by leaving for another country.If it is more,the difference between rich and poor will be so great that it will lead to social unrest.64.Why do people naturally expect that doctors should be well-paid?A.Their work requires greater intelligence.B.They

37、are under constant pressure at work.C.They work harder than most other people.D.They have studied for years to get qualified.65.In Paragraph 2 and 3,the author indicates that.A.the talented should do more important workB.unskilled jobs have less social responsibilityC.those with more socially useful

38、 jobs earn lessD.people want to pay more to important services66.Which of the following statements would the author agree?A.Its difficult to define the social value of a job.B.The market will decide what the right pay is for a job.C.People should find a proper ratio between high and low pay.D.Those

39、receiving high salary should carry heavy responsibilities.DCrowd controls could soon become an important skill for climbers on Mount Everest,as importantas physical strength or watching the weather.In a single day last week,nearly 40 people reachedthe top of the world-a record.Reports from base camp

40、 spoke of queues at dangerous ridges andcrowds as people passed each other in the final dash fbr the 8,848 meters top.More traditional mountaineers tease about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everest in recentyears,and there are warnings that the crowds are making the mountain more dangerous.In 19

41、96,14 died on the mountain when the members of several groups were trapped at high altitudes bysudden snowstorms.Bad weather in early May led to this years jam on the summit ridge,but theloss,luckily,was light.Just four climbers died,including a Nepali Sherpa who had made 11previous successful climb

42、ing.Traditionalists are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve“firsts，rather than simply climb the mountain.This years crop of mountaineers included theoldest man,64-year-old Sherman Bull from Connecticut,and the youngest,16-year-old TembaTsheri Sherpa of Nepa

43、l.An American with only one arm was on the mountain this year;an Indianwith no legs also tried but failed.Erik Weihennieyer,an American,became the first blind person toreach the top of the world.His fellow climbers stayed in front of him on the way up,describingthe type of land and ringing bells.Nep

44、al（尼泊尔）views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow.The government chargesjourneys a minimum of$70,000.That is probably why officials in Katmandu are ignoringconcerns about overcrowding and talking about even more climbers coming next year.But acelebration of the 48th anniversary of the first conq

45、uest of Everest,by Sir Edmund Hillary andSherpa Tenzing Norgay,was cancelled after violent strikes.Tumultuous（动舌L的）Nepali politics,it seems,could be just the crowd-control measure that Everest needs.67.What is the problem that the climbers have to face in recent years?A.Bad Weather.B.Technology.C.Ov

46、ercrowding.D.Physical strength.68.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A.The risks of mountain climbing.B.The consequence of overcrowding.C.The challenge that climbers have to face.D.The damage that snowstorms have caused.69.Several climbers are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to s how.A.their gre
