A
Lisa was running late．Lisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way：her parents
were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown．But as she hurried down the subway stairs，
she started to feel uncomfortably warln．By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and
tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought．She rested
herself against a post close to the tracks．
Several yards away，Frank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the
front of the train would stop．They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of
buying．
But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!”
Frank didn’t hesitate．He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on
the rails．“No!Not you!”his girlfriend screamed after him．
She was right to be alarmed．By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking
and see the light coming．The train was about 20 seconds from the station．
It was hard to lift her．She was just out．But he managed to raise her the four feet to the
platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge．That was
where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw
someone else holding her purse．
Lisa thought she’d been robbed．A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop
the blood pouring from her head．And she tried to talk but she couldn’t，and that was when she
realized how much pain she was in．
Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer．Jennifer said her
boyfriend was calm on their 40一minute train ride downtown---just as he had been seconds after the
rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time．“I saw the train coming and 1 was
thinking he was going to die，”she explained．
41．What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?
A．She had run a long way．
B．She felt hot in the subway．
C．She had done a 10t ofwork．
D．She had donated blood the night before．
42．Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?
A．Because they would miss their train．
B．Because he didn’t see the train coming．
C．Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lifl．
D．Because she was afraid the train would kill him．
43．How did Frank save Lisa?
A．By lifting her to the platform．
B．By helping her rise to her feet．
C．By pulling her along the ground．
D．By dragging her away from the edge．
44．When did Lisa become conscious again?
A．When the train was leaving．
B．After she was back on the platform．
C．After the police and fire officials came．
D．When a man was cleaning the blood from her head．
45．The passage is intended to _____________
A．warn us of the danger in the subway
B．show US how to save people in the subway

B
We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class．
“You could win prizes，’’our teacher told US as she wrote the poster information on the
blackboard．She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing，“The first prize is ten
dollars．You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your
poster．”
We studied the board critically．Some of US looked with one eye and held up certain colors
against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the fight or left while we conjured up our
designs．Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in
thought．We had plans for that ten—dollar grand prize，each and every one of US．I'm going to spend
mine On candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and
rich．
Everyone in the class made a poster．Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins，
while others used nothing but colored construction paper．Some of US used big designs，and some of
us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one comer of our poster and let the space draw the
viewer's attention to it．Some of US would wander past the good students’desks and then retum to
our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness．It was yet another grown。up trick of the soil
they seemed especially fond of。making all of US believe we had a fair chance，and then always—
always--rewarding the same old winners．
I believe I drew a sailboat，but I can’t say that with any certainty．I made it．I admired it．I
determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and then I turned it in．
Minutes passed．
No one came along to give me the grand prize，and then someone distracted me，and I
probably never would have thought about that poster again．
I was still sitting at my desk，thinking，What poster?when the teacher gave me an envelope
with a ten—dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me．
46．What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?
A．It must appear in time．
B．It must be done in class．
C．It must be done on a construction sheet．
D．It must include the words on the blackboard．

B．made an outline for
C．made some space for
D．chose some colors for

C．felt surprised to win the competition
D．became wise and rich after the competition
C
A few years ago I had an“aha!”moment regarding handwriting．
I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial
task．It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must
be．I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a
year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point．
It was a very important event in the computerization of life—a sign that the informal．friendly
communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant
messages and emails．There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we
recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces．
As a child visiting my father’S office，1 was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks
of his staff，the same handwriting 1 would see at home in the notes he would leave on the mdge—
except that those notes were signed“dad”instead of“RFW”．
All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a
book by Florey．Sire shows in her book a deep coflceru about the fall of handwriting and the failure
of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t
be expected to learn to hold a pen．
I don’t buy it．
I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still
promotes better than a digital keyboard does．For many a biographer，part of really getting to know
their subjects is learning to read their handwriting．
What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the
handwriting of 16th—century Italy．That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn
to draw by copying classical paintings．However，they have worked in many school systems．
51．Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’S handwriting?
A．He had worked with his colleague long enough．
B．His colleague’S handwriting was SO beautiful．
C．His colleague’S handwriting was SO terrible．
D．He still had a 10t of WOrk to d0．
52．People working together in an office used to ____________．
A．talk more about handwriting
B．take more notes on workdays
C．know better one another's handwriting
D．PommlilnieatP bettPr with one anothP，
53．The author’S father wrote notes in pen _________．
A．to both his family and his staff
B．to his family in small letters
C．to his family on the fridge
D．to his staft on the desk
54．According to the author，handwritten notes _______．
A．are harder to teach in schools
B．attract more attention
C．are used only between friends
D．carry more message
55．We can learn from the passage that the author __________．
A．thinks it impossible to teach handwriting
B．does not want to lose handwriting
C．puts the blame on the computer
D．does not agree with Florey

Jackie is perhaps the most easily annoyed koala(考拉)at the Featherdale Wildlife Park in
southern Australia．All the koalas there are unhappy and complaining．You would be too if you were
used to night activities and someone kept waking you up all day while you were trying to sleep it
off．That’S right--sleep it off．The average koala is always half asleep because it feeds on the leaves
of a special kind that makes it sleepy．
The reason Jackie and her fellow koalas are repeatedly awoken from their deep sleep is SO
they can be hugged and photographed by tourists，who make the trips to Featherdale and an
increasing number of other national parks for just that special experience．Whatever department in
the Aussie government in charge of such things is now moving to make the practice illegal，which
is understandable．How would you react，my friend，if you were trying to sleep off a dozen times
and some round，furry creature smelling of grass kept waking you?
*考拉即树袋熊
