In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is   36  known as a place for the maintenance(维修)of official business and government cars.   37  it is a place for vehicle maintenance.

More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the   38   to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to   39   me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the   40 , my friend drove his car into the innermost   41  , which had a sign “carpool only”. I   42   what “carpool” meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool.   43   I thought myself clever in asking:

       “Is there anything wrong with the car?”

       “Nothing.   44  ?” said he.

       “Well then, why are you going to carpool?” I   45  .

       My friend couldn’t help   46   and told me that“carpool”refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more   47   can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on   48   that.

       After dinner, my friend’s neighbor came over to ask whether he   49   “carpool” the next day.  “ 50  ,” my friend said, “I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was   51  again, wondering why he could not “carpool” with him since we had “carpooled”   52  . My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbor   53   meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. The first “carpool” is a noun,   54   the second “carpool” is a verb. It is really   55   for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda(大熊猫)eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶)will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

   A. depend on one sense in choosing food     B.  are not satisfied with their food

Which of the following eats only one type of food?

   A. The white butterfly.                   B. The small bird.

   C. The bear.                            D. The fox.

Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.

   A. the season changes                    B. the food color changes

   C. they move to different places            D. they are attracted by different smells

We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

   A. food is chosen for a good reason         B. French and British food is good

   C. some people have few choices of food    D. some people care little about healthy diet

“Now imagine there are seven hundred enemy soldiers coming towards you from the left,” the young officer said, “and seven hundred enemy soldiers coming to you from the right. What do you do?”

“I shoot them with my rifle,” Private Jones answered.

“OK,” the young officer went on, trying to get the answer he wanted, “but what if there are a thousand enemy soldiers coming at you from the right, a thousand coming at you from the left, and another thousand coming straight towards you. What do you do now?”

“I shoot them with my rifle,” Private Jones replied.

“But where are you getting all the bullets from?” the young officer demanded.

There are good Santas and there are bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child, Santa Claus is perfect.

That’s difficult. And so they come from around the world to attend the Charles W. Howard School in Midland, Mich. The school offers a three-day, 40-hour course for Santas hoping to be excellent. A former Macy’s Santa named Charles Howard founded the Michigan school in 1937. “Many people will think if you have a suit and you’re a Santa,” said Tom Valent, the school’s current dean. “It’s more than that.”

The school teaches everything from breathing techniques for carol singing to the beard maintenance. There are lessons in child psychology, sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer(驯鹿). What’s harder to deal with, however, is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.

After spending time in the classroom, Weir went to the mall to test his training. However, at one point, his hat fell off, and he was unsure how to react. “You’re the real Santa,” Valent said. “Pick that hat up, slip it back on, keep smiling and do your job. You’ve got to stay on top of your game. Even the last one at night, when you’re tired, you’ve got to remember: This one’s forever, so do a good job.”

63. According to the passage, good Santas should be the ones that ______.

A. can offer the children some gifts                 B. help adults look after their children

C. have ability to make children happy           D. should be perfect in the mind of children

64. The Michigan school was founded by Charles Howard with the purpose to ______.

A. train the pet reindeer for the Santas           B. earned money from its students

C. train perfect Santas for the world              D. show the world’s concern to the poor

65. According to Weir’s performance, we can conclude that ______.

A. Weir was short of experience                B. Weir was not fit for the job as a Santa

C. Weir did very badly in the game         D. Weir was not a good student in school
