9．Ten years ago I used to be very fit．I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends．I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks．In those days I didn't earn very much．I had a job in an office．It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing．Then，about eight years ago，I got a much better job．The pay was better，but the hours were a lot longer．I bought a car and drove to work every day．I began to take people out to lunch．And I began to put on weight，too．I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more．There's a lot of stress  in my job．Perhaps that is why I started drinking more than I used to．For example，I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home，but then I started filling my glass to the top，and instead of having one glass，I would have several．I started smoking a lot，too．I never used to smoke at all．Two months ago I had a heart attack．At first I just couldn't believe it．Luckily it wasn't very serious．The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less．He also advised me to work less and get more exercise．But I just haven't any time!My job takes everything out of me!Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job．Perhaps I could do something like I used to do．But if I do that，I won't earn as much．I have a family to support．I have to think of them，too．I just don't know what I should do．What do you think？

解答 1：D 推理判断题．根据文章第四段Two months ago I had a heart attack．说明因为工作的关系他现在的身体出了问题，患上了心脏病．故问题出在了健康方面，故D正确．
2：B 推理判断题．根据第二段第2行The pay was better，but the hours were a lot longer．说明得到好的工作以后，他的工作时间也会变长，故B的说法是错误的．故B符合题意．
3：C 细节理解题．根据第四段2，3行The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less．He also advised me to work less and get more exercise．可知医生建议作者停止吸烟和多多锻炼；故选C．

20．Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time．
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members，but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about．I know this from personal experience．
E-mail makes it easy to work at home，which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings．My working hours aren't necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office．This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool．
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends．Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it．If you call each one，you may tire of telling the story．
With E-mail，you just write one note about your experience，at your convenience，and address it to all the friends you think might be interested．They can read your message when they have time，and read only as much as they want to．They can reply at their convenience，and you can read what they have to say at your convenience．
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away．More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch，even daily touch，with their children off at college．
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch．They don't take the place of any of the old ways．

1．I was traveling in a small place in New York．That place had no taxi for a short （41）distance （distant）．One had to take a rickshaw（人力车）．
I called out for an old man in the（42）waiting （wait） line．Before I got on the rickshaw，I （43）automatically （automatic） asked how much he would charge to take me across to the Mall．I （44）was told （tell）"10dollars"．Then I started bargaining．He just gave a hard smile and said，"（45）Whateveryou feel like，please give me．It is not necessary to bargain on this small amount．"
I was a bit ashamed at myself and kept quiet while he continued，"（46）Unlike （like） those taxis，my vehicle does not run on petrol or diesel（柴油） or even gas； it runs on my sweat．So please give it to me with a smile，for the money has to feed so many （47）hungry （hunger） mouths at home．"
When we reached the Mall，I gave him the money and the smile（48）as requested and added （49）a gentle pat on his back．He smiled back as if （50）to give （give） me a receipt and I would preserve his smile for a long time．
18．Honesty is a virtue，and telling a lie is morally wrong．But how can you know if someone is （81）lying？The answer is，they're probably not．Traditional economics says that people are rational beings who will lie if it is （82）to their advantage．A recent university study has shown that，actually，we're pretty honest-especially （83）when we're at home．
Researchers in Germany phoned people at home and asked them to toss a coin．There was a strong financial incentive （激励） to fake the result：if the coin landed tails-up，the participant would receive money or a gift voucher，while if the coin landed heads-up，they would get（84）nothing．Because they were on the phone，they knew there was no （85）risk of getting caught if they lied．And yet people revealed the truth despite that they（86）would receive （receive） nothing．Over hundreds of tosses a coin will land tails-up roughly 50% of the time．In this study over half the people （55.6%） asked said that the coin landed heads-up．Most of them didn't pursue the reward at the （87）cost/expense/price of honesty．
Previous studies had found that people were more dishonest．In those laboratory studies 75% of people，（88）including （include） some who faked the results，reported a winning coin and claimed a reward．So the research team guesses it's being in our own home （89）that makes us play fair．（90）However，what motivates people to do so remains unclear．
19．On a very cold winter day，there was a drunken guy（41）whodecided that he would go fishing on the ice in the lake．
He packed up all his fishing tools and set out in search of a （42）suitable （suit） spot．Eventually he came across a huge area of ice and decided that since he（43）had come （come） to the lake，he would stop there and gave it （44）a go．He took out a saw（锯） from his tool box，and started to saw a hole in the ice．（45）Suddenly （sudden），a loud voice beside him，"There is no fish here．"came．The drunken man looked （46）around/about/round but he couldn't find anyone．So he decided to ignore the voice and carried on （47）sawing（saw）．Again，the voice sounded，"I've told you once，there is no fish here!"He looked at the surroundings again，but there were still no people there．So he returned to his task．"Stop it!"shouted the very sounding voice，"You'd better get out of here quickly （48）or you will get into trouble．""Who are you？"The drunken guy shouted．"You don't scare me!""Watch out and listen to me，"（49）replied（reply） the voice，"I'm the（50）manager（manage） of this Skating Rink!（溜冰场）"
