In 1997, a group of twenty British women made history. Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole. It was incredible that apart from one experienced female guide, the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before. They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same time period.

    The women set off as soon as they were ready. Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge(雪橇)weighing over 50 kilos. This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface. But for long distances, the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three  metres high, and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didn't become damaged. The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night.

    In such conditions, the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometres a day. But there was another problem. Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift(漂流) back more than five kilometres during the night. That meant that after walking in these very bad conditions for ten hours on one day, they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again. Furthermore, each day it took three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal.

    So, how did they manage to succeed'? They realized that they were part of a team. If any one of them didn't pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the whole expedition. Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.

45. Which of the following can be the best title?

     A. Bad Conditions in North Pole.

     B. Inexperienced Women Defeated Experienced Men.

     C. Secrets to Success in Exploring North Pole.

     D. Inexperienced Women Explored North Pole Successfully.

46. The women had to be careful to avoid ___ on their way to the North Pole.

     A. falling over on the ice                     B. damaging the sledges

     C. being left behind                       D. getting too cold at night

47. The experience of the women team suggests __

     A. determination and teamwork help achieve goals

     B. women can do anything they want

     C. it is good to experience difficult conditions

     D. Arctic conditions are very bad

48. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

     A. Weather conditions.                       B. Preparing food.

     C. Protective clothing.                        D. Feelings and relationships.

        Does anyone else think that we are overworked these days? We have to be just perfect ill school work. Quizzes, tests, preparing for high school classes, already thinking about college, what' s next? Don' t you think we are going a little fast? I think as a whole, we need to slow down a bit, and figure out where we are exactly. Do you ever just feel confused? I do, all the time, and the strange thing is that I' m an "A" student. All this work is driving me crazy, though. Sometimes, I wonder how I' m going to make it. We are already planning our high school classes. How will I know which math class to apply for? I wish they would do it for me. Sometimes, I think having choices is too much to deal with.

      Summer is coming up fast, and I have a feeling that it' s going to be overbooked, too. After all, I have to get ready for high school, not to mention the volunteering jobs I' 11 have to do. Teachers really start to push you about seventh grade. I' m in eighth. They nag (嘮叨) and bother you, or make your life miserable(痛苦) until you agree to take that class over the summer. They push you to take the extra three math sheets, just for practice, when really you already have a lot of English homework. They don' t seem to understand when to stop. Sure, I realize the need to struggle for perfection, and if anyone is a perfectionist, it' s me.

      If any teachers are reading this, I hope you understand how hard it can be to be a middle school student.  We are super busy, and have a lot going on.  No, I' m not saying you shouldn't push us to do our best. 1' m just saying that if you push us over the limit, we just stop. That' s how students are in general.  Have you wondered about those high school dropouts? I'm not going to be one, though.  At least I have a goal in mind, and I'm determined to get there.

      "Wanted by the FBI." To the murderer, or the bank robber, these are the most frightening words in the world. When the criminal hears them, he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him.

      Why should he be so afraid? There are thousands of cities and villages where he can hide, and forests and deserts ,as well. Besides, he's usually rich with stolen money.

      Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can even pay a doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. But the criminals know that as public enemies, they can be found by the FBI no matter where they hide.

      They know every trick the criminal knows and many more. If he makes just one mistake, they' Il get him. That' s why the man who is wanted can' t sleep. That' s why he becomes nervous, an] why he jumps at every- sound.

      The FBI began on May 10th, 1924. General Harlan Stone chose Edgar Hoover, a young lawyer, to head the new agency (機(jī)構(gòu)). "What we need is a wholly new kind of police force," he said.  "Criminals today are smart. They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways. They have learned to open any lock, using advanced technology. We can' t beat them with old methods. We have to train officers to work scientifically."

      Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans. He picked his men carefully. They had to be between the ages of 25 and 35.  He wanted only men with good manners and good character. When working as his officers, they would have to meet all kinds of people. Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun. But the FBI cannot help in every police problem. It can look into only certain crimes against the government. Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.

53. The FBI makes it almost impossible for a wanted man to

     A. be operated on his face                    B. hide in forests or deserts

     C. escape being caught                       D. break the law

54. Edgar Hoover was a        before he worked with the FBI.

     A. policeman            B. doctor          C. lawyer            D. officer

55. The FBI was set up in order to

     A. help solve every police problem           B. stop crimes against the government

     C. reduce the work by local police forces     D. fight crimes scientifically

56. The underlined phrase "handle a teacup" probably means

     A. have good manners                        B. serve tea to customers

     C. play tricks with teacups                   D. hold teacups firmly
