  My husband and I are Danish(丹麦人). As a matter of fact, many of my ancestors were English:I was born in England and was originally of British nationality. My parents were killed in a car crash when I was a baby, so I was brought up in Denmark by my grandmother and educated in Danish schools so that Danish is really my native language.

  We arrived in England last February at five o'clock on a Wednesday morning after a rough crossing. Waves were seemed as high as mountains rocked the boat from side to side. We were both sick on the journey and a fine drizzle(毛毛雨) met us as we got off the boat. To make matter worse, Klaus, my husband, left his camera on the ship; I lost my handbag (which was never been found to this day), and we nearly forgot to tip the taxi-driver, who complained about our luggage and seemed to be in a thoroughly bad temper. Few visitors can have experienced such an unfortunate beginning to their say, and we certainly felt like going straight home again.

  We stayed for a week in a hotel, and were then lucky enough to find a furnished(有家具的) flat in the suburbs of London. It is not so convenient as our flat in Copenhagen (哥本哈根), but it is less expensive than some we saw in advertisements. Klaus is studying at the local Technical College and, in addition, he often attends public lectures at the University of London on as many subjects as possible, chiefly to improve his English. He is a qualified en gineer who has been employed for several years in a factory. Our two children have joined us and they are being educated in an English private school. I am working as a part-time nurse in hospital, and I have so much to do that I have almost no leisure time.

3.Why does the writer say that they certainly felt like going straight home again?

[  ]

4.Klaus attends University of London in order to ________.

[  ]

  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.

[  ]

[  ]

A.a drive through the town

B.a race across the fields

C.a round about way of travelling

Children who suffer head trauma(创伤)call experience headaches months after the injury, with girls more likely to have them than boys,a new study finds.

   The researchers also found that the risk of having these headaches was greater after a mild

traumatic brain injury(TBI)than after a moderate or severe one.

   The study, published online Dec.5 in the journal Pediatrics,included children aged 5 to 1 7 who were hospitalized with traumatic brain injury in King County in Washington State and one in Philadelphia.Three months after treatment,headaches were reported by 43 percent of children who’had a mild TBI,37 percent of those who had a moderate to severe TBI,and 26 percent of children in a control group who’d suffered broken arms but no head trauma.

  The researchers also assessed the children one year after they were hospitalized and didn’t find any significant differences in headaches between the groups.

  Teens and girls appear to have the highest risk for headache after mild TBI,and the course of recovery after such events is likely affected by age,injury severity and gender(性别),the researchers concluded.

 The authors noted that more than half a million children in the United States suffer a TBI each year.

 “Little research has focused on chronic(慢性的)headache post-TBI in children,”Dr.Heidi Blume,of me Seattle Children’S Research Institute,said in锄institute news release(发布会).“The common existence of headache following mild TBI appear to follow a pattern we see in primary headache disorders such as a migraine(偏头痛).”

  She said the research will examine similarities betwe.en TBI and migraine,including a look at whether“migraine treatment will work for post.traumatic headaches.”

  In the meantime,‘'what parents need to know is that some children with TBI may have headaches for several weeks or months after TBI,but that most recover with time,”Blume said.“And significantly, girls and teenagers appear to be at particular risk for headaches after mild TBI.Parents should be aware of what to expect after mild TBI,and that includes TBI for sports.related injuries.”,

71.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

    A.Teachers Should Do More to Protect Teenagers in Schools

   B.How to Avoid Headaches after Traumatic Brain Injuries 

   C.Head Injuries May Lead to Headaches for Teenagers

72.The differences in headaches after TBI among different people lasts______.

   A.for more than a year  B.1ife long  

C.for three months D.for less than a year

73.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

    A.The severer the injury is.the greater the risk will be. 

    B.Headaches after TBI are similar to a migraine.

   C.There hasn’t been enough research on headache post-TBI in children.

D.Giris are more likely to have post.TBI headaches.

74.In the last paragraph,Dr.Heidi Blume warns that________.

    A.parents should look after their children more carefully

   B.post—TBI headaches will last for several weeks or months

   C. post—TBI headaches may not show immediately

   D.girls and teenagers should avoid attending school sport activities
