One sunny afternoon,a seven-year-old girl went for a walk.She crossed a large area of grassland into the woods(26)before she realized that she was lost.
Sitting on a rock and(27)wondering what to do,she began crying.After a while.She(28)decided to walk along a wide path lined with tall trees and thick bushes.(29)When it was getting dark,she saw a small,dark wooden house.She opened the door and (30)cautiously stepped in.Suddenly,she heard a strange noise,and she ran out the door and back to the (31)woods.Cold and tired,she fell asleep near a (32)stream.
The girl's parents were out and her dog,Laddy,was at home.Laddy(33)sensed that his mistrees(女主人)was in danger.He jumped(34)through a window,breaking the glass.He looked in the fields.But he couldn't find his mistress anywhere.However,from the ground came a(35)through scent (气味) as he lowered his head.He (36)followed the scent and walked across the grassland.Barking(37)loudly into the air,the dog(38)searched through the woods until he found the(39)house.But the girl was not there,so he headed back to the woods.Much to his(40)delight,he saw his mistress'blue shirt in the distance.He (41)jumped over some bushes and saw the little stream,where the girl was(42)asleep.
When she opened her eyes and (43)sawher dog standing beside her,the girl said,"you (44)rescuedme,Laddy,"and she kissed him several times.Seeing their daughter and dog coming back,the parents burst into tears of (45)relief.That night Laddy had a heror's supper:a huge meal of steak

7.Exhausted,covered in mud and desperately hungry,a team of Swedish athletes sat down for a meal as they prepared to take on a dangerous 20-mile trek through the Ecuadorian rainforest.
As they opened their canned meat,a tired Mikael Lindnord noticed a miserable stray dog staring at him out of the corner of his eye.
Feeling sorry for him,he fed the dog a meatball and thought nothing of it,but as the team stood up to continue their race the animal started to follow them-and he didn't stop.
As the group of four navigated the final two stages of the 430-mile Adventure Racing World Championship,the dog befriended them and was eventually given the name Arthur.
Every tiring task the team face,Arthur would do the same.He swam alongside them while they kayaked down rivers,dragged himself up hills during hikes and pulled through knee-deep mud during treks.
Even when the team tried to get rid of their new member out of concerns for his safety-he refused to leave.This meant when he was tired they stopped for a break and when he got stuck in the mud they pulled him out.
After six days the team finished the race,and the dog had suffered.They therefore decided to take him to a vet(兽医)while still in South America to have him checked out.
During that time Lindord thought to himself that after their experience,they could not leave Arthur,so he decided to adopt him and take him back to Sweden.He applied to the Swedish Board of Agriculture and was made to wait to see if his application was successful.After a tense few days,the team arrived at the airport with Arthur and boarded the plane with him back home.

6.The high school grades of Tom Monaghan,who was born in 1937,were so low that he graduated at the bottom of his class.The local university turned down his application,but he managed to enter the University of Michigan.A few weeks later,he dropped out because he lacked money for school fees.In 1960,Monaghan agreed to buy a pizza store with his brother,who gave up a year later.
For the first year,Monaghan worked all the time but hardly made any money.He soon found himself deep in debt.He began making the business simpler,selling only three sizes of pizza,instead of five.This change helped Monaghan make a profit,which allowed him to expand his three stores under a new name,Domino's.
However,during the following years Monaghan experienced a series of setbacks.In 1967,a fire destroyed his store in Ypsilanti,Michigan,which served as the company's offices.Most of the damage was not covered by insurance.In an effort to recover his losses,Monaghan continued to expand his franchise,but was unable to keep up with the growth.Without Monaghan's guidance,many of the new stores closed down.By 1970,Monaghan was 1.5 million in debt and facing law suits from nearly 150 debtors.In the following financial settlement,Monaghan lost 51 percen of his company to the bank.But Monaghan concentrated on building the 49 percent of the business he still owned.Slowly,he began to work his way out of his financial difficulties.He defended himself in court since he could not afford a lawyer.He sold his furniture and his car.In about a year,he managed to pay off all his debts.These hard times taught him avaluable lesson in how to run a business.By 1978,two hundred Domino's stores had opened.Five years later,the number of stores was over a thousand;by 1989,the chain had more than five thousand stores.The company had more than six thousand pizza delivery stores when Monaghan sold it for 1 billion in 1998.

56.What seemed to be the reason why the local university turned down Monaghan's application?(No more than 10words)He graduated at the bottom of his class./His school grades were very poor.
57.How did Monaghan expand his three stores under a new name,Domino's according to the second paragraph?(No more than 15words)The profit from his business simplification helped him./Monaghan made his business simpler so that he made a profit which helped him.
58.What does the underlined word"setbacks"mean in the third paragraph?(Only one word)
frustrations/discouragements/losses/blocks/breakdowns/difficulties/troubles
59.How did Monaghan finally succeed after he lost 51percent of his company?
(No more than 15words)He concentrated on the rest of his company,saved money and learned from failure.
60.What do you think of Monaghan?Give your reasons.(No more than 20words)He is very wise,enthusiastic,creative and insightful.He can learn from failure and adjust his business strategy..

3.University accommodation(住所) office
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东).Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations.The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have'a problem.The disadvantage is that they are 
Property papers:Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters.The offers are from private landlords,agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters.They also have a website:www.loot.com.The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper.The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.Their website is at www.Renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies.The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations.A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted.These will either be from landlords or from students.Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students.Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find  accommodation.However,advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth.It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.However,don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily,going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London,some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative.In some cases this might be a good choice.
Below is a housing guide for students going to London.

A
When first entered,Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant,but once the pleasant smells of kabob(烤肉串)hit the senses,you are incapable of calling it anything less.
Owned by a local couple,this Persian restaurant has an inviting,homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.
The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration,but the environment is truly charming.
Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner,the restautant still attracts all customers,especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastem cooking.
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the conrner talking loudly about world topics,watching news events on TV,drinking a black tea known as Persian chai,and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plate piled with food.
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited,but the amount of each dish is fairly large.Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10,so not only is it affordable but practical as well.
The food,especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy,made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs,which are different style of grilled meat.
One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob,which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread.Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob,a kabob consisting of grilled beef.
Although the restaurant is small,the atmosphere and the food is delicious.It is a place that should not be overlooked.

56.When first entering the restaurant,one can find that itB.
A.is splendidly decorated                 
B.has pleasant smells of kabobs

B.Drinking a kind of black coffee.
C.Reading local English newspapers.
