Mr.Clinton and his 13-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday, so Mr.Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers.

   It was a two hours’ ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign(牌子) that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket was $200. They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and handed them to Mr. Clinton.

   “How much do you want?”

   “Just a present,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.”

   Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife haven’t missed a World Series in 18 years. But he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I followed you for a while. You seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed of going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never came true.”

   How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: “This is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”

The underlined word scalpers in the first paragraph means ______.

   A. people who buy tickets at a reasonable price

   B. people who sell tickets at a reasonable price

   C. people who buy tickets at a high price

   D. people who sell tickets at a high price

閱讀理解。
    When was the last time you laughed a lot? Most people are the victim of an uncontrollable fit of
laughter at least once in their lives. But when it happens in front of the television cameras, it can become
an internet sensation.
     Do you think there's anything funny about spicy meat? Swiss finance minister Hans-Rudolf Merz
seemed to think it was hilarious. Mr. Merz was making a speech in the Swiss parliament on meat imports when he started laughing and couldn't stop. The meat in question is known as "b?ndnerfleisch"- a type of
air-dried beef product. Herr Merz later admitted that he was amused by the bureaucratic (官僚主義的)
language in which the bill was written.
     Since then, Mr. Merz has become an internet hit. A video of the incident shows a grey-suited minister
giggling away, accompanied by applause from his parliamentary colleagues. So far, the video has been
seen by more than 500,000 people on YouYube and other websites. "I don't understand what he's talking about," said one viewer, "but it's just so funny." The recent publicity will be good news for the minister,
too. Mr. Merz had been criticized recently for signing away much of Switzerland's banking secrecy, and
for failing to do enough to help two Swiss citizens who were detained by Libya. But now, with retirement
a few months away, Mr. Merz may leave on a high note. Some even suggest he may have a future career
as a comedian.
     Of course, Mr. Merz isn't the first person to crack up on air. BBC Radio 4 newsreader Charlotte
Green lost control on the programme Today not so long ago. It all happened after a clip of the oldest
known recording of the human voice was played. A studio member remarked that the 1860 recording of
a woman singing the French song "Au Clair de la Lune" sounded like a "bee buzzing in a bottle". That
seemed to set Ms. Green off as she broke down into a fit of the giggles. Later, the editor of the show,
Ceri Thomas, said most listeners who contacted the show had commented on "how much they had
enjoyed the moment". He added, "When Charlotte loses it, she really loses it."
     So, why do we get these fits of laughter? Experts say it's a form of release. Nervous tension often
builds up inside us, especially in those who have got high-pressure, stressful jobs. When stressed out, the
body constricts (收縮) blood vessels, elevates the production of potentially damaging stress hormones,
and raises blood pressure. Short periods of stress are normal and not dangerous, but over long periods of
time stress weakens the immune system and makes heart problems more likely. Under the control of
self-protecting mechanisms of human body, this pressure needs an outlet, usually manifesting itself through
tears, anger or laughter- uncontrollable fits of laughter!
     So, beware! That uncontrollable laughing fit could strike at any moment.
1. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "crack up"?
A. break up      
B. cheer up        
C. laugh away      
D. catch on
2. By saying "The recent publicity will be good news for the minister, too. ", the author means
    that the video of the minister's laughing fit_______.
A. may help him sign away some of Swizerland's banking secrecy.
B. may help him return to the focus of the public in spite of some negative news.
C. may help make the public think highly of the minister recently.
D. may help put off the retirement of the minister.
3. According to the passage, Charlotte Green lost control on the programme because _______.
A. the clip of the programme is too old to be used.
B. she broke down in the studio while making the programme.
C. a studio member thought she sang the French song badly.
D. the recording of the French song sounded extremely funny.
4. Which of the following is true according to the experts?
A. Those who suffer higher pressure from work are more likely to laugh away.
B. Uncontrollable laughing fits can help to release the pressure.
C. Stress outlet can be controlled by ourselves if we try hard.
D. It is unnecessary to pay attention to short periods of stress because they are not dangerous.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. uncontrollable fits of laughter is very common among people.
B. Mr. Merz will be a comedian after retirement.
C. Charlotte Green will be dismissed due to this incident.
D. most of the listeners who contacted the show thought it inappropriate for a newsreader to
     laugh away on the programme.

In these tough economic times many people are making their food go a little further than they perhaps used to. And for many that might mean ignoring the best before date, but one German man has taken it to the extreme by eating the contents of a 64-year-old tin.

In the late 1940's the United States was helping Germany overcome the hardships of the second World War. Food parcels were a vital part of the rebuilding effort and Swift's bland lard (豬油) was one of the less exciting ingredients. But it was apparently long lasting. The tin with its red, white and blue label still whole survived in Hans Feldmeier's cupboard. So the 87-year-old retired chemist decided to test its suitability for eating.

"I didn't open it because I thought the situation could get even worse. I hope that we are not running into tough times like we had after World War II, even despite the financial crisis we are facing."

And his gamble (大膽嘗試) paid off. The tests run by scientists in his home town of Rostock showed it was indeed fit for consumption (消費(fèi)), saving Mr. Feldmeier a precious few Euros. But he did spend a lot of money on a loaf of black bread on which it was spread before he and the scientists ate it. So what did it taste like?

"I thought it would taste unpleasant, but it doesn't. I'm totally surprised that it shows absolutely no sign of being not fresh." Said the employee of Office of Agriculture, Food Safety and Fisheries

The tin showed no expiry (到期日), so to adapt an old saying, it seems the proof of the lard, if not the pudding, really was in the eating.

56. Which of the following statements about the 64-year-old tin is not true? 

A. Its owner is a German.

B. It is from the United States.

C. It is one of the favorite food of Germans.

D. It is suitable to be stored.

57. Hans Feldmeier didn't eat the tin because ________.  

A. it didn't taste well

B. he forgot it in the cupboard

C. he stored it in case of the hard time

D. he wanted to test its' suitability for eating

58. The underlined part "paid off" can be replaced by ________. 

A. was a success   

B. was paid by others

C. was dangerous

D. drew scientists' attention

59. How about the result of the test?

A. The tin tastes even better than the fresh one.

B. It shows that the tin’s owner missed the best before date.

C. It is the same as the scientists thought before the test.

D. It is still fit for eating.

60. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage? 

A. Economics                                    B. Business

C. Politics                                      D. Food and health
