“Where is the bus? Why is it always late?” I asked myself. I was going to be late 36 the manager wasn’t going to be pleased. “Thank God, here it is!” The bus came round the corner and I got on. Ten minutes later I was walking into the 37 where I work. “Twenty-five past nine. I 38 the manager doesn’t notice.” But I was not 39.
“Smith!” shouted the manager. “Late again. What’s your 40 this time?” “I am afraid the bus was late, Mr. Brown.” “41 up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter(柜台). We’ll be opening in a few minutes.”
My first customer was a pretty girl wearing a red dress. 42 her was a young man of about 23. He seemed very 43 , and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl drew some money and 44 about opening an account. I gave her necessary 45 and she went out. 46 I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something 47 with brown paper. Turning to my next customer, I was frightened to see a gun sticking out of his coat. The next moment a loud noise 48 my ears. Everything went black. I was falling… It seemed to be a long time 49 I opened my eyes and I found myself in bed! 50 shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house. 51 the bus wasn’t on time, and I got to the bank at 9:25.
“Smith!” the manager cried out in a voice like thunder. “ 52 of your excuses! Start work at once!” To my 53 the first customer was a girl 54 a red dress and behind her stood a man carrying something wrapped in brown paper. The 55 ! Sometimes life is full of coincidences (巧合)!

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so 36 at the time may cause us to smile years later.
One such memory is a phone call I 37 when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local 38 show. Entrants(参加者)were to tell an interesting story about their 39 . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣诞老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(奖励) the lucky child free 40 of a local store.
Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then 41 the phone to me. I didn’t 42 the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a 43 connection to Santa, that was important.
I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had 44 the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had 45 a wall with crayons(蜡笔). Even I knew that this was not the kind of 46 that Santa would approve.
Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone(语气)of 47 , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I 48 that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.
I 49 down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime(罪行)had not 50 unpunished. Santa would 51 know that I’d been bad!
It turned out that I did get a 52 present from the radio station and its sponsor(赞助商). And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a piece of coal(煤).
I wonder what Santa has in 55 for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

Everyone makes mistakes in life, but for whales and dolphins, the “mistake” of landing on the shore costs the highest price---their lives.
People living along the coast of Australia and New Zealand have been shocked and saddened by the number of whales and dolphins that they have found on their beaches recently. Since November 28th, 96 whales and dolphins have died in Australia and 53 whales died in New Zealand. Although 20 whales were saved, some of these were not expected to live, as they were too weak to swim with the others back to sea.
Bob Brown, leader of Australia’s Green party, said the mass beaching was caused by the recent “sound bombing” of the ocean floor between the two countries. This is a method of testing for oil and gas reserves (储藏量).
But mass beaching of whales has long puzzled scientists. Typically most members of the stranded (搁浅) group will appear to be perfectly healthy. “Some researchers believe that close relationship within the group causes the problem, if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave” said Shery Gibney, a leading biologist in New Zealand. “Some will come in and try and assist it; if they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”
Another common theory is that the whales’ navigation (导航) system are thought to break down in some way. It has been said that whales follow electromagnetic (电磁的) patterns in the sea-bed. The whales can get confused because these patterns sometimes change. That would be a bit like a new roundabout (环状交叉路) being built on a road you were used to driving on. You might be confused for a minute when you come to it for the first time, and you might even take a wrong turning before getting back on your route.
A different idea is that when whales chase fish for food they end up in shallow waters because they are not paying attention to where they are going.
And yet, from time to time a group will swim on purpose into shallow waters and end up on the beach, where they die. If returned to the sea, some whales often show great determination in restraining themselves.

Successful people are nicer to those who are jealous of them, psychologists have found.
The fear that they may become the target of malicious(恶意的)envy makes people act more helpfully toward people who they think might be jealous of them.
Previous research found jealousy could be divided into benign and malicious envy. Those with benign envy were motivated to improve themselves, to do better so they could be more like the person they envied.52-------- The Dutch researchers then set out to question the effect on the target of the envy.
In lab experiments a group of people were made to feel like they would be maliciously envied by being told they would receive an award of five euros(欧元)53-------The researchers thought that the deserved prize would lead to benign envy, while the undeserved prize would lead to malicious envy.
Then the volunteer was asked to give time-consuming advice to a potentially envious person.People who had reason to think they would be the target of malicious envy were more likely to take the time to give advice than targets of benign envy.
In another experiment, an experimenter dropped a number of erasers on the floor as the volunteer was leaving.54-------- He said: 'This sort of serves a useful group function. We all think better-off people should share with others but that's not something we are inclined to do when we are better off..55----------
A.Those who thought they would be maliciously envied were more likely to help him pick them up. |
B.Helping others is a virtue. |
C.However those with malicious envy wanted tobringthe more successful persondown. |
D.Malicious envy. is terrible. |
F. People are more likely to help others if they think they are envious of them.
G.. Sometimes the prize was deserved and was based on the score they were told they had earned on a quiz. But sometimes it was not based on their score at all.
