On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the   36  of the young man.
The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. 37  from the day before, he took out a large piece of   38  and laid it on the ground. Then he began 39 .
Before long, the young violinist was   40  with people, who were all attracted by the   41  on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat 42 . Please come to claim(认领) it soon."
After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 43 through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would   44  come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.
"Did you   45 something?"
"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist  46 a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and   47  it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which   48  him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat. 49  , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket   50  himself, the violinist said," 51  I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should   52 be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we 53 succeed temporarily (暂时). However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser. Such a person is just like the   54  on the mountain. It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the 55 of going up.

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪汉）has passed. This special sign-language is frequently   50   by tramps to inform their    51   whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to   52   them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.
Quite   53   one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.
But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a   54   in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,    55   a funny turn, laid a small parcel    56   the front gate, and began   57   a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   58  , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate   59   and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat   60   couldn’t hear his words. The   61   was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.
I felt   62   for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   63   deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried   64  , whistling as he went along.

Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.
Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats, a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, milking is complete. The gate is opened, the cow is released and the next cow enters.
The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day.
The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.
The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.
Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still, she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.
Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost 175 000 dollars. The second cost 150 000.
Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.

D．keep fresh milk for two weeks

【小题3】Why is the robotic system not popular now?

A．Because young people have no interest in it.

B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.

C．Because people can’t afford to buy it.

D．Because it usually causes the waste of milk.

【小题4】According to Doug, what is the wage of an employee?

【小题5】The best title for the passage may be_______.

A．Letting robot milk your cow	B．Milking cows by hand
C．Improving the quality of milk	D．Drinking fresh milk every day

Directions：Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

Riding was the favourite activity of Thomas Jefferson, who was the third President of the United States. He usually rode good horses.

One day, he was riding outside Washington, when a jockey (赛马师) came near. He did not know the President, but his professional eye was attracted by Mr. Jefferson’s horse. He stopped and said that he wanted to buy the horse, but Mr. Jefferson politely refused his offer.

The jockey offered more money for the horse, because the closer he looked at the horse, the more he liked it. All of his offers were refused, which made him angry. He then became rude, but his rudeness left as little an impression as his money, for Jefferson had a very good temper. At last, he hit Mr. Jefferson’s horse with his whip, getting it to run suddenly. This would have thrown a less skillful rider to the ground, but Jefferson stayed on his seat, and controlled his horse well.

The jockey then gave up. He rode with Mr. Jefferson side by side and began to talk with him about politics. Jefferson joined in the conversation. When they got into the city and came close to the gate of the presidential mansion (总统府), Mr. Jefferson stopped, and politely invited the man to enter.

The jockey was surprised and asked, “Why? Do you live here?”

“Yes” was the simple reply.

“Why, stranger, what’s your name?”

“My name is Thomas Jefferson.”

Embarrassed, the man quickly left, while the President looked at him with a smile and then rode through the gate.
