单选题Robert Spring, a 19th century forger(伪装者), did well in his job that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs(亲笔名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began to learn the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and write them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his works to England and Canada for sale.
Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger can"t go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don"t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals.
After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stone Wall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny"s money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty.

单选题 Computer programmer Brendan Tammy earned &55000 a year
by designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him
have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he
is 18. He works for a small company in Liverpool, where most
young people of his age are looking for jobs. Brendan's biggest headache is how
to use his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get
credit cards. Brendan got his job four months ago, a year
after leaving school with six Olive's(普通成绩)and working for a time in a computer
shop. "I got the job because the people who run the company knew I had already
written some programs. " he said. "I suppose 55000 pounds
sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year. "He spends
some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 20 pounds a week
as he lives with his parents. But most of his spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at
school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four
years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying
on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. I would
like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休)is a possibility. You
never know when the market might disappear. "

单选题It doesn't matter when or how long a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors' thought, until they heard about Jercy Page. Jercy Page, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man by themselves. Jercy Page was ninety years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Jercy Page sleeping. Actually, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one. The only rest that Jercy Page got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Page remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.

单选题Water on the earth is being continuously recycled in a process known as the hydrologic cycle. The first step of the cycle is the evaporation of water in the oceans. Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor, which then forms clouds in the sky. The second step is the water returning to the earth in the form of precipitation, either rain, snow, or ice. When the water reaches the earth"s surface, it runs off into the rivers, lakes, and the ocean, where the cycle begins again.
Not all water, however, stays on the surface of the earth in the hydrologic cycle. Some of it seeps (渗透) into the ground through infiltration and collects under the earth"s surface as groundwater. This groundwater is extremely important to life on earth since 95% of the earth"s water is in the oceans, and is too salty for humans of plants. Of the 5% on land, only 0.05% is above ground in rivers or lakes. The rest is underground water. This groundwater is plentiful and dependable, as it doesn"t depend on seasonal rain or snow. It is the major source of water for many cities. But as the population increases and the need for water also increases, the groundwater in some areas is getting dangerously low. Added to this problem is an increasing amount of pollution that seeps into the groundwater. In the future, with an increasing population and more toxic(有毒的)waste, the hydrologic cycle we depend on could become dangerously imbalanced.
