22、in Coleford!” Richard used to boast(自吹自擂).“And youll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because Ill be the best lawyer in town!”George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make
23、money from books, which made the competition between them worse.Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coastbut Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned.Now with only one books
24、hop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his former rival(竞争对手).

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environ
30、ment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in th
31、e dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you dont have
32、to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport
33、you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, i
34、n the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, its free.60. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A. Cycling around a lake. B. Motor racing in the desert.C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming i
35、n a sports center.61. What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B. It causes water shortages around the world.C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.62. The author uses power walking as a
36、n example mainly because_.A. it is an outdoor sport B. it improves our healthC. it uses fewer resources D. it is recommended by experts63. The author writes the passage to _.A. show us the function of major sports B. encourage us to go in for green sportsC. discuss the major influence of popular spo
37、rtsD. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsCWe can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? O
38、r did he envy my luck?” “And Paul-why didnt pick up that he was friendly just because 1 had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, Its too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.
39、 And if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog .” thats being friendly. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying
40、 is that the doesnt think you deserve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this
41、phrase is the thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of a all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit th
42、e way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture ? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.64. In the first paragraph, the writer recalls some things that happened between him
43、 and his friends. He _. A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him B. feels he may not have “read” his friends true feelings correctly C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen D. is sorry that his friends let him down65.

44、writer talks about someone saying, “You are a lucky dog.” He is saying that _. A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly B. this saying means the same as “You area lucky guy” or “You are a lucky gal” C. the world “dog” should not be used to apply to people D. sometimes the words used by
45、 a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words66. This passage tries to tell you how to _. A. avoid mistakes about money and friends B. “size up people” C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you D. keep people friendly without trusting them67.

The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that shed delivered the child. We even felt a little pride
56、 at the thought of our extended family. For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman f
