At the time, I would go out in the evening with my parents. But this time I had bor rowed a bicycle from a friend of mine. I didn't know why, but once I was on my own bicycle, a kind of free feeling flooded through me. The faster I rode, the faster I wanted to go! Far ahead, I rode as if my life depended on it, head down, hands grasping the handbars. I meant to get to Jinghai Bar as fast as I could...
Oh! My hands!Don't come any closer...Don't touch me!That poor doctor just couldn't get my gloves off. Each time he took a step towards me, I broke into painful shout ing. Much later, I discovered that I had crashed（碰撞）heavily into another bicycle, and I hadn't spoken one word of sense for at least three hours! After some time, my mother arrived at the hospital, her face as white as a sheet, and gave me a hug（拥抱）, only then did the doctor begin to stitch（缝合）my head wound, not only did he merrily cut off a long lock of my hair, but used no anaesthetic（麻药）either! Later, I seemed to hear faraway voices saying that my right hand was broken. I almost burst into tears. How would I ever play the piano again?

MONTREAL (Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border (边界) to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $ 10 000 for breaking Washington's strict new security(安全) rules.
The expensive trip to church was a sur-prise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-doz-en people of Township 15, crossing the bor-der is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5 530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Cana-da, as usual. The US customs (海关) station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, fol-lowing a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally(非法).
Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border check-point.
Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I'm living in a prison, ”he said.
(1) We learn from the text that Richard Al-bert is ________ .
A．an American living in Township 15

C．a Canadian working in a customs station
D．an American working in a Canadian church
(2) Albert was fined because he ________.
A．failed to obey traffic rules
B．broke the American security rules
C．worked in St. Pamphile without a pass
D．damaged the gate of the customs office
(3) The underlined word “ detour ” in Para-graph 5 means ________ .
A．a drive through the town
B．a race across the fields
C．a round about way of travelling
D．a journey in the mountain area
(4) What would be the best title for the text?
A．A Cross-country Trip.
B．A Special Border Pass.
C．An Unguarded Border.
D．An Expensive Church Visit.
Villagers in Koh Samui yesterday criticized state authorities for their failure to stop illegal deforestation on the resort island. The villagers in Bor Phut said they had seen a group of men take chainsaws to a forest on Khao Duang Nok mountain near Samui airport. They believe the men are falling trees to clear the land for a construction project.
“We’ve heard the sound of saws working,” said a villager. The mountain’steep slope made it difficult for the villagers to get into the forest to see the men at work. However, they said traces of deforestation were apparent. One villager said he reported the matter to state authorities, asking them to take legal action, but to no avail.
Khao Duang Nok has been under the spotlight after the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry investigated the matter.
A businessman was charged with having occupied 49 acres of land with false land documents and many land officials were arranged to leave the area during the investigation in connection with land scandals in a project known as “The Peak”.
Koh Samui district chief Decha Kangsanant has ordered a stop to any development activities on Khao Duang Nok until the investigation results are released. However, the villagers said nothing has been done to stop deforestation. Sunthorn Watcharakuldirok, director of the Forestry Department, said the group of men entered the forest two weeks ago after forestry officials returned from their inspection.
The fact that the men remained fearless showed that it was the work of influential people who were challenging state power, he said. His department is planning to arrest all the men.
46. The underlined phase “to no avail” in the second paragraph means _______.
A. useless B. in astonishment
C. without permission D. without delay
47. Villagers failed to see the men cutting down the trees in the forest because ____.
A. the traces of deforestation were apparent

D. the activities on Khao Duang Nok have stopped
50. The news report mainly tells us ________.
