　　Passage One
　　Ann Curry is a famous news presenter of the NBC News "Today" show. When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
　　Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs : she served coffee in the students' union ,was a hotel maid and even made maps for the US Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
　　One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Ann for books on cancer(癌症). The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Ann has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.
　　Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical(外科的) operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.
　　Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgical operation for free.
　　Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt!At McCarley' s bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store.Today it' s the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people who watch the programmes, helping them make sense of the world.

　　Passage Two
　　Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probably came up in Egypt or Persia some 2,500 years ago. Major Walter Wingfield thought that .something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his new game, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly, but the strange ,difficult name disappeared almost at once ,being replaced by the very simple and logical term "lawn tennis".
　　By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and there, in the spring of 1874, Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.And just two years later, in" 1876, the first United States lawn tennis tournament(锦标赛) was held--at Nahant near Boston.

　　Passage Three
　　There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day.
　　If you want to know why, just try going without sleep for a long period of time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly. You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the ceils of your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.
　　One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are Unconscious in sleep, We do not know what is going on around us. But that do.esn' t mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down.
　　For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more slowly, and the blood pressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的) and muscles are at rest. It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.
　　Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes (反射动作)still work. For instance, if someone tickles (使觉得痒)your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowing it.
　　44. When you are sleeping,
　　A. all of you reflexes stop working
　　B. most of your reflexes stop working
　　C. many of your reflexes still work
　　D. all of your reflexes still work
　　答案：C
　　45. If you don' t have as much sleep as your body needs, you will __________
　　A. work properly
　　B. think clearly
　　C. keep your attention on your work
　　D. easily get angry
　　答案：D
　　46. The cells of your body develop supplies of energy __________
　　A. when you are asleep
　　B. when you recover from your work of the day
　　C. in the next period of activity
　　D. when you are quiet
　　答案：A
　　47. In the clause " ...that we are unconscious in sleep"(Pam. 3),the word "unconscious" means__________.
　　A. untiring
　　B. unmoved
　　C. quiet
　　D. not knowing what is happening around
　　答案：D
