Mr.Clinton and his 13-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday, so Mr.Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers.
It was a two hours’ ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign(牌子) that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket was $200. They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and handed them to Mr. Clinton.
“How much do you want?”
“Just a present,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.”
Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife haven’t missed a World Series in 18 years. But he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I followed you for a while. You seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed of going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never came true.”
How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: “This is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”
The underlined word scalpers in the first paragraph means ______.
A. people who buy tickets at a reasonable price
B. people who sell tickets at a reasonable price
C. people who buy tickets at a high price
D. people who sell tickets at a high price

In these tough economic times many people are making their food go a little further than they perhaps used to. And for many that might mean ignoring the best before date, but one German man has taken it to the extreme by eating the contents of a 64-year-old tin.
In the late 1940's the United States was helping Germany overcome the hardships of the second World War. Food parcels were a vital part of the rebuilding effort and Swift's bland lard (豬油) was one of the less exciting ingredients. But it was apparently long lasting. The tin with its red, white and blue label still whole survived in Hans Feldmeier's cupboard. So the 87-year-old retired chemist decided to test its suitability for eating.
"I didn't open it because I thought the situation could get even worse. I hope that we are not running into tough times like we had after World War II, even despite the financial crisis we are facing."
And his gamble (大膽嘗試) paid off. The tests run by scientists in his home town of Rostock showed it was indeed fit for consumption (消費), saving Mr. Feldmeier a precious few Euros. But he did spend a lot of money on a loaf of black bread on which it was spread before he and the scientists ate it. So what did it taste like?
"I thought it would taste unpleasant, but it doesn't. I'm totally surprised that it shows absolutely no sign of being not fresh." Said the employee of Office of Agriculture, Food Safety and Fisheries
The tin showed no expiry (到期日), so to adapt an old saying, it seems the proof of the lard, if not the pudding, really was in the eating.
56. Which of the following statements about the 64-year-old tin is not true?
A. Its owner is a German.
B. It is from the United States.
C. It is one of the favorite food of Germans.
D. It is suitable to be stored.
57. Hans Feldmeier didn't eat the tin because ________.
A. it didn't taste well
B. he forgot it in the cupboard
C. he stored it in case of the hard time
D. he wanted to test its' suitability for eating
58. The underlined part "paid off" can be replaced by ________.
A. was a success
B. was paid by others
C. was dangerous
D. drew scientists' attention
59. How about the result of the test?
A. The tin tastes even better than the fresh one.
B. It shows that the tin’s owner missed the best before date.
C. It is the same as the scientists thought before the test.
D. It is still fit for eating.
60. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?
A. Economics B. Business
C. Politics D. Food and health
