Once in a busy street, a middle-aged businessman found his wallet missing. There was a lot of money in it. So he made a promise, "If someone finds my wallet and returns it to me, I'll give half the money to him."

The wallet was found by a dustman in a dustbin. He sent it back to the loser. But the businessman changed his mind.

"There was still a diamond ring in my wallet," said the loser, "I won't give half the money in my wallet to you until you return it to me!"

"I've never seen a diamond ring in the wallet," said the dustman.

They began to quarrel. The businessman refused to do what he had said. The dustman became angry and took him before a judge.

But it's also clear that there is only a lot of money in this wallet. I don't think it's yours. Wait for some time. Perhaps someone will be able to return your wallet to you!"

Then the judge turned to the dustman and said, "Take the wallet home. If the loser doesn't go to get it back in three days, it will belong to you!"

1.The wallet the businessman lost ________.

A. was found in a shop

B. was sent to the judge

When Armida Armato’s daughter, Alexia, came home from school one day last year keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador, she wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.

Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.

Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say, ‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted back home.’”

She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.

Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.

“Armato’s worries are very common among parents,” says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. George’s High School. He organizes a humanitarian rip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.

1.When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador, Armato was _______.

A．proud and happy

B．supportive but concerned

C．fearful and nervous

D．excited but puzzled

2.The underlined phrase “from scratch” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.

A．having great help

B．using high technology

C．ending up in failure

D．starting from the beginning

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A．Volunteering helps students grow and develop.

B．School trips make parents worried about their children.

C．Ecuador is the most attractive travel destination in the world.

D．Brave Alexia dreams to work in Ecuador one day.

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months．

The system，called driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%—40% that are caused by tiredness．Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue．

Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband．The device，worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey．After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盤)．A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response．

Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time．Usually，a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy．

In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest．If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warms that the driver must stop as soon as possible．

The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing．If these tests，scheduled for six months’ time，are successful，the markers will bring the product to market within about a year．

1.According to the text，Driver Alert ______．

A． aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents

B． has gone through testing at laboratories

C． aims to prevent drivers from sleeping

D． has been on sale for 12 months

2.How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert？

A． By sounding a warning

B． By touching the wristband

C． By checking the driving time

D． By pressing the steering wheel

3.We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ______．

A． About 400 milliseconds

B． below 500 milliseconds

C． over 500 milliseconds

D． about 400 minutes

4.When the driver gets sleepy while driving，Driver Alert ______．

A. moves more regularly

B． stops working properly

C． opens the window for the driver

D． sounds more frequently and loudly
