     Birmingham----The wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.

    Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station's competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine,23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar "experiment" organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England. Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. They took a lie detector(测谎仪) test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges included an astrologer(占星家) who declared that they were suited.

The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine's mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell's parents are reported to be less than delighted.

One winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up his shop. Suddenly he saw Seth, a lazy, good-for-nothing fellow grab a pound of fresh butter and concealed it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge. He would punish the thief, and satisfy his own appetite for fun.

Seth had his hat on his head, and the butter in his hat. He was anxious to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove. The grocer stuffed in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could possibly fit inside.

Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair, so he jumped up, declaring that he must go.

“Sit down; don’ t be in such a hurry,” replied the grocer, pushing him back into the chair again.

Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man’s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on stuffing wood into the stove. Then, as if surprised, he remarked, “You seem to be perspiring(排汗)as if you were warm! Let me put your hat away for you.”

“No!” exclaimed poor Seth at last, unable to stand it a moment longer. “No, I must go; let me out.”

A greasy(油腻的)waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man’s face and neck, soaking(浸泡)into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots. He was bathed in oil from head to toe.

Just as his victim darted out the door, the grocer said, “I reckon(估计)the fun I’ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan’t charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.”

 

58.Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?

A. Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.

B.Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.

C.Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.

D.Because he didn’t want to pay for it.

59.What is not the action that the grocer took as a revenge?

A.The grocer offered Seth a cup of hot drink.

B.The grocer forced Seth to take a seat near the stove.

C.The grocer overcharged Seth for the butter.

D.The grocer offered to take off Seth’s hat.

60.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Great fun                                                  B.The right revenge

C.A fun-loving grocer                                   D.A foolish customer
