| One evening a police officer was driving slowly along a road. He was off duty and was wearing plain clothes. Suddenly he saw two men running out of a building. He heard someone shouting, "Help! Help! Stop thief!" The police officer was sure that the two men were thieves. He knew he must arrest them. However, he was not only out of uniform (制服) but also unarmed (没有带枪). He knew if he got out of his car and tried to arrest them, at least one of the men would easily escape. The police officer was facing a difficult problem. He knew that he mustn't let the men escape, but how could he arrest them? He thought quickly and had an idea. It involved danger and it might not work, but he decided to try.

"Please take us to the railway station," they told him. "Very good," the police officer said and drove off. After a few minutes, one of the men cried out, "But this isn't the way to the railway station. Where are you going?" "I must go this way," the police officer explained.

| Daban town is famous for girls and windmills (风车), while Loulan is a myth (神话) in the desert. From Daban, we move to another ancient city, Loulan. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful and rich Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan, ancient city on the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then. However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. Then it became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks. Loulan was first "discovered" by a Swedish man Sven Hedin in 1900. People from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden, all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made. It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin dynasties. In the past century many things have been dug out there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others from Greece and Rome. All these things show that a lot of business between East and West once took place there. Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless "forests" of mounds (小丘) which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery (神秘) has been attracting so many people from so many countries. |

| Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age. "We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. "Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process." What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's. "This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease."The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart," said Goldspink. The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age. |

|
[ ] |
| A. women have more cells than men when they are born B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age D. women never lose their pumping power with age |

|

| A. enable your heart to beat much faster B. find out the reason for ageing C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy D. prevent your cells from being lost |

| Having an interview (面试) doesn't sound like a big deal, just like getting good marks in college. You simply go in and meet someone, talk for a while, and then leave. Nothing to stress over, not the end of the world, but I've never been interviewed and I have my first one tomorrow for my job in Columbia. I've spent a lot of time thinking about it and have decided that it shouldn't matter all that much. It seems that the interview would only make a difference if the company is on the fence about you, or if the interview was unpleasant and they walk away thinking that you are too, then the officers might be encouraged to think about your request again. On the other hand, if you were in the "maybe" pile, a good interview could push you onto the list of accepted candidates (候选人). I know I shouldn't worry. After all, they probably have already made up their minds about me. My essay was, to say the least, unique. The interview is at Starbucks. What does that mean? My friend, who did a lot of these interviews last year (and who was accepted to the company there), told me to wear jeans and a nice sweater. I was going to go with a skirt. The fact that it's at Starbucks, however, is making me think that jeans might be more proper. And then there's the other problem of knowing who my interviewer is. I discussed this with my music teacher, who suggested, "They'll probably be wearing something." That good idea hadn't crossed my mind, which just goes to show that my brain has stopped to function. Stress is taking over my life. Tonight I will prepare. I will choose what to wear and what, if anything, to bring. I like to talk, so this should not be a problem. Hopefully when I get there I'll find that this is actually the part of the process I'm most comfortable with. Until then I'll spend my time preparing and hoping. |
| 1. Before the interview, the author feels quite _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. lucky B. easy C. hopeless D. excited |
| 2. The author wants to wear jeans mainly because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the interviewer is fond of them B. her friend likes them very much C. her music teacher suggests her doing so D. they are proper at Starbucks |
| 3. The author seems to feel her _____ can do best to the interview. |
|
[ ] |
| A. clothes B. degree C. talking ability D. college marks |
| 4. The best title for the passage would be "_____". |
|
[ ] |
| A. My learning trouble B. A good college C. An interview D. Stress of life |
