While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up
17、 early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putt
18、ing in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several peo
19、ple in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say th
20、at a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with
21、others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 41.Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. The mans job was bike
22、racing. 42.What does the underlined phrase mean?A. go very far to see someoneB. walk out on foot to greet someoneC. help someone D. enjoy the moment with someone43. How did people get to know the couples problem? A. From a stranger. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news. D. From radio broadcasts. 44.
23、 What do the couple learn from their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.45. What is the best title of the passage? A. Terrible Suffering B. Lasting Smile C. Ask strangers
24、 for help D. Spreading Effect of Acts of KindnessBMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scie
25、ntists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the
26、hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which cont
27、rols the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed inst
28、ead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually
29、get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer thin
30、k left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.46. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _.A. the art began from 1,500 B.C. B. the wo
31、rks of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed47. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth. B. More than a half.C. About 40%. D. The passage doesnt tell us.48. What is the h
32、and for most people used to do?A. Its used to find or hold things.B. Its used to work with things.C. Its used to make a persons eyes work together.D. Its the centre for thinking and doing problems.49. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a pe
33、rson become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.50. The best title for this passage is _.A. Scientists New InventionsB. Left-handed P

You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,Would you mend this chair for me?”“I
39、 wouldnt have agreed to do it,”he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(五英镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.51.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_.A.
