“Wolf！”
Lydia Angiyou's five-year-old nephew Paulussie whispered with alarm as he touched her
arm. At first, she didn't believe him.
Angiyou, Paulussie, her another newphew Lueassie, also five, and her youngest son Jessie,
seven, were walking to her mother's house one night last February. Animals were often sighted
near lvujvik--a village of 274 Inuit on the shore of Hudson Bay--but rarely on its streets.
The 41-year-old teacher and mother of five turned around. Looking behind her into the
darkness, at first she thought that Jessie was the wolf. But a meter behind the boy was 350kg
polar bern -no wolf in sight--standing on the icy road. Jessie turned and saw it, too, then ran,
screaming, to his mother.
Angiyou felt a rush of blood to her brain. "Get as far away as you can!" she shouted to the
boys as she ran towards the bear. She stopped just in front of it, then faced it quiedy. It made a
move to go around her to get to the boys, who must have seemed like the easier meal.
But Angiyou moved with the bear to maintain her position blocking the children. Finally she
got the animal's attention. In response, it rose on its hind legs to its full 2.5m height. The bear
charged, and knocked her into a seated position. The skin under her nose tore. Falling onto her
back, she screamed for help and kicked at the animal in a bicycling motion. She soon passed out.
Sirqualuk Ainalik, a fellow teacher, had been at his brother's house nearby when Jessie
dashed inside for help. Grabing a rifle, the 33-year-old ran to the road, firing a warning shot into
the air. He then aimed his gun at the huge bear.
With two more shots, Ainalik killed the polar bear.
56. Lydia Angiyou and             children went through the adventure.
A. two            B. three           C. four            D. five
57. What's the right order of the following according to the passage?

c. Angiyou went to her mother's home.
d. A fellow teacher killed the bear.
e. Angiyou was warned of a wolf.
A. e c b d a        B. c e d a b          C. c e b a d          D. c e a b d
58. The following are all right except          
A. Lydia Angiyou was in her forties
B. A wolf was finally killed
C. Animals often appeared near the village
D. Angiyou called for help while fighting
59. The story shows that Lydia Angiyou is

A survey by an international temporary service agency found that U. S. managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.
The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what's more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.
Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension.
Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed.  According to Dr. Trice's research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.
If humour is really this important, then why don't we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace. However, it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.
小題1: Most people think a sense of humour can ________.
A．help you to do your work better
B．make you have a rich life
C．make you pleased with your work
D．help you to make more friends
小題2:Many people don't use humour more in the workplace because __________.
A．they like keeping silent when working
B．they don't know the positive effects of humour
C．they think they should obey the rules
D．they don't like joking or laughing
小題3: A person without a sense of humour is easier __________.
A．to feel surprised
B．to get along with
C．to be worried
D．to be successful
小題4:What is probably the best title for the article?
A．People with a Sense of Humour.
B．Humour Is Important in the Workplace.
C．Humour and Humourless.
D．Everyone Likes Humour.

Berlin — Germany will allow entry 20,000 foreign high-tech workers, under a plan announced on May 31st. Chancellor(總理) Gerhard Schroreder sees this as a way to keep the country from falling behind in information technology.
The plan for this so-called ‘green cards’, not like the US work permit system, came in answer to industry demands that there were not enough qualified workers to fill positions.
Workers who came to Germany under the new rules, effective from August will be given a five-year work permit after proving they have completed studies in a related field or can promise to at least 100,000 marks (US$48 000).
Family members are also allowed, though they too will receive work permits. “They are strong competition in the rest of the world for these people,” Schroreder said mentioning not only the United States but also British and France. Germany would be making a mistake if it didn’t take part in this competition.
He said employers have already offered 11,000 jobs through a “green card hotline” and some 4,700 applications emailed information requests.
The Chancellor also said the number of workers and the time limits of their stay may be extended, possibly under current German law. Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens. Since the beginning of this year, foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.
53. From the first paragraph we can get to know that Germany______.
A. is a less-developed country                            B. used to be a developed country
C. is short of high-tech workers                  D. once lost interest in information technology
54. If a high-tech worker wants to work in Germany, he or she can enter Germany______.
A. in June      B. after July    C. before August    D. at any time
55. It is mentioned in the passage that competition in high tech______.
A. is only in America，Britain and France
B. has nothing to do with small countries
C. is weak in Asian countries
D. will affect the future of a country
56. To be naturalized as a German, according to this passage, seems______.
A. difficult    B. easy    C. impossible    D. popular

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smoking not only can wrinkle(起皺紋) the face and turn it yellow -- it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.
The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body -- even skin protected from the sun.
"We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced," Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who led the study, said in a statement.
"In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years," Helfrich's team added in their report.
The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person's skin was.
When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrich's team wrote.
Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature（過早的）skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.
The report did not discuss the mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels（血管）beneath the skin to constrict（緊縮）, reducing blood supply to the skin.
Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both the skin and the internal organs.
66. The best title for this passage would be_______.
A. The danger of smoking        B. A survey of smokers
C. Quit smoking for health       D. Smoking causes skin aging
67.  how wrinkled each person's skin doesn’t relate to_______.
A. the number of cigarettes a person smokes
B. the kind and characteristics of skin
C. how long a person smokes
D. how long skin is under sunlight
68. It can be inferred from the study _______.
A. smoking won’t make skin protected from the sun age
B. smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organs
C. smokers over 65 usually won’t worry about their skin
D. the age of smokers is not connected with the result of the test
69. From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because_____.
A. it will lower blood supply to skin.
B. it can make you feel tired
C. it can make skin come off
D. it can make blood run faster
70. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. inform people about the result of the study
B. advise people to how to protect skin
C. warn people not to smoke again.
D. introduce a new way of avoid skin aging
