It was early evening on September 14th. Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store inBoston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money - $2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in traveler’s checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.
While other people in similar situations would have been tempted (引誘), Glen who has been homeless since 2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bag to a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.
While most people that read itfelt surprised at the man’s honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The marketing manager fromVirginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.
As of now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at whathe is receiving for doing the right thing – Honesty, certainly pays off!

If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to catch what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story if you stop a few times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent(妨礙) yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to depend mainly on the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main idea of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their hands. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞擊) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are well trained. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks (花招,手段). Here are two sides to their work. They do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床墊). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmen’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously hurt, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, flew over the edge of a cliff (懸崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落傘) failed to open, and he was killed. Although it is full of deadly dangers, this is no longer the work for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stuntwomen too! (357)
小題1:Stuntmen are those who ______.
A.often dress up as famous actors
B.prefer to lead dangerous lives
C.often perform dangerous actions
D.often fight each other for their lives
小題2:What’s the meaning of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?
A stuntman should _______.
A.crash bravely though a window made of sugar
B.do the well-planned activity at a very moment
C.open his parachute when he jumps down the cliff
D.have got a high degree of skill and training
小題3:Which could probably the best title of this passage?
A.Fights in the Movies.B.Crashing Out of the Window.
C.Exciting Films Today.D.Most Dangerous Work.

Many people from overseas believe that it rains a lot in London, but in fact its rainfall is similar to that in other European cities. Rainfall is evenly (平均地) spread during the year, so  even in summer a visitor is likely to experience some     weather. In spring and autumn there are likely to be some heavy showers, often followed by sunshine. In winter the rain is usually lighter but may    for longer.
In the summer, if there are a few days of particularly hot weather, these are often
   by a thunderstorm. It is because the weather can change very quickly that many British people carry a(an)umbrella with them throughout the year, even when it appears to be a
   day.
The UK’s weather is strongly influenced by the sea which surrounds Britain and Ireland. The sea warms up and       more slowly than land, keeping winters relatively warm but also making the summers cooler.
You may be wise to bring      warm to wear in the evenings even during the summer months. Very hot days (over 30 C) are not common, so air conditioning is not as widespread as in warmer countries.
During the winter people will often wear several different layers (層) of clothing. This allows them to keep warm when walking outside, but to     comfortable when inside a heated building.
小題1:A. dry               B. wet                 C. hot  
小題2:A. last               B. break                  C. have    
小題3:A. received           B. accepted            C. followed  
小題4:A. fine               B. bad                 C. rainy

What must you do when you receive a present for your birthday? You have to sit down and write a thank-you note. The word “thanks” is very important. We have to use them very often. We say them when someone gives us drink, helps us to pick up things, hands us a letter or lends us a book. It is rude to ask someone to do something without saying “please”. We have to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book or a pencil, more rice or help. We have to use “please” to make request pleasant.
We have to learn to say “sorry”, too. When we have hurt someone, we’ll have to go up and say we’re sorry. When we have forgotten something, we will say “sorry”. We can make people forget wrong by saying it.
