单选题{{B}}E{{/B}} Nothing was going right for Dr. Turner at the hospital. He made a mistake while operating on a patient. He felt sure he was no longer trusted and decided to change his job. One day he learned from the paper that a doctor was looking for a partner. The doctor, whose name was Johnson, lived in Thorby, a small town in the north of England.

单选题To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the 1th century B.C. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East, in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England. By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It was not until the twentieth century that women' s umbrella began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.

单选题Michele Langlois is a young Canadian who works for the police as a handwriting expert. She has helped catch many criminals (罪犯) by using her special skill. When she was only fourteen, Michele was already so interested in the differences in her school friends' handwriting that she would spend hours studying them. After finishing college she went to France for a special two year class to learn how to analyze (分析) handwriting at the School of Police Science. On her return, she began her work for the Quebec police. Michele says that it is impossible for people to disguise (伪装) their handwriting. She can discover most of what she needs to know simply by looking at the writing with her own eyes, but she also has machines that help her analyze different kinds of paper and ink. This knowledge is often of help to the police. Michele also believes that handwriting is a good sign of the kind of person the writer is. "I wouldn' t go out with a fellow if I didn' t like his handwriting," she says. But she adds that she fell in love with her future husband, William Smith before she studied his handwriting. It later proved to be all right, however.

单选题B Mark Hill is a traffic police officer in Watford, near London. He works on some of the busiest motorways in Britain, the M1 and the M25. There are traffic police on duty 24 hours a day. There are three shifts, and each shift is eight hours. On average they have to deal with three to four accidents each shift. Here is Mark Hill talking about his job: "We deal with anyone in the accidents who is injured. That's the first thing. Then we have to clear the road and get the traffic moving again. "Most accidents happen because people drive too fast—especially when the roads are wet. Sometimes we get accidents that occur because drivers don't follow the rules. For example, I've seen a number of cases of drivers overtaking on the left. This is illegal in Britain. If you want to overtake, you have to go into the fast lane on the right. "Not everyone can use a motorway in Britain. People that ride a bicycle or a small motorbike are not allowed to use it. "I like my job. I have a varied working day—I never know what I'm going to do from one day to the next. And I meet all kinds of people. I don't think there's any other job that can give you that experience./

单选题Money and Love When the Romantic Movement was still in its first favor, it was a common matter of debate (36) people should marry for love or for money. The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period the dilemma was felicitously (巧妙地) solved by the discovery, (37) the last page (38) the apparently penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life young men (39) hoped for this denouement (结局) were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents, (40) admitting that their daughters should marry for love, took care (41) all the young men they met should be rich. This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted, for examplem, by my maternal grandfather, who had (42) romantic daughters, none of (43) married badly. In these days of psychology the matter no (44) looks so simple as it did eighty years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the cause, of quite genuine love; of this there are notable examples in history. Benjamin Disraeli, (45) became lord Beaconsfield, (46) in his youth, poor and struggling and passionately ambitious. He married a rich widow, much (47) than himself, and (48) by the world to be rather silly. Owing (49) her, he was able to make his career a success. A cynical world naturally assumed that he loved her money (50) than he loved her, but in this the world was mistaken; through out the whole of their married life he was deeply and genuinely devoted (51) her. I do not suppose he would have loved her if she had been poor when he first knew her, but the gratitude which he felt for help (52) he owed to her kindly interest in him easily developed into a sincere affection. A great deal of affection is based upon the fact that its object is a help in (53) the purposes of the person who feels it. Men in whom ambition is the leading passion are likely to love women (54) assist them (55) their career, and it would be very shallow psychology to suppose that the love is not real because it has its instinctive root in self-interest.
