  Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sorts. The house owner,for example,knows that his property can be damaged by fire;the ship owner knows that his vessel(船) may be lost at sea;the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand,not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool,there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words,the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured” and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurers”.?

Not all risks lead themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking,the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyer will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be estimated(估计)in numbers—and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated.?

  The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money,called the “premium(保险费)”,which is usually paid every year,the insurer will pay a sum of money for loss,if the risk or event insured against actually happens.?

1.According to the writer,insurance is possible because   .?

A.almost everyone suffers loss ?

B.only insured people suffers loss?

C.everyone suffers loss sometimes?

D.only a small number of the insured suffer loss

2.“The basis of insurance” refers to  .?

A.the chances of risks?

B.the exposing to risks?

C.the payment of contributions?

D.the management of contributions

3.By “the pool of contributions” the writer means   .?

A.a small sum of money?

B.money paid by the insured?

C.the cost of administration?

D.money paid by the insurers

4.The insurance of ordinary business risks is impossible because   .?

A.the risks are too high?

B.businessmen do not like risks?

C.the risks cannot be estimated?

D.businessmen will not buy insurance

     Working in the control room of the salvage vessel (求助打捞船) Seaprobe at two o'clock one morning
in 1977, Robert Ballard was shocked by a large piece of equipment that crashed onto the deck just three
feet above him. The ship shook with the force of an explosion (爆炸). A drill pipe and its attached equipment
broke and fell into the Atlantic, abruptly ending the explorer's test to find the RMS Titanic.
     "I lost a lot of credibility with sponsors (赞助商), who had lent the $600 000 worth of equipment" for
the 1977 exploration. "It took me eight years to recover from that." But recover he did, despite doubt from
other scientists, failed money-raising efforts and other unfortunate happenings.
     After the Seaprobe failed, Ballard says, "I had to come up with another way to search for the Titanic."
He returned to work as a U.S. Navy officer. At a time the geologist cut a deal with Navy officials: He would
offer his expertise (专业知识) if they supported the development and testing of Argo, a camera-equipped
underwater robot, and allowed him to use it for exploration.
     The Navy sent Ballard and Argo to search for Thresher and Scorpion, two submarines (潜水艇) that
sank during the 1960s. Those vessels lay in waters not far from the Titanic. After having found the Scorpion
in 1985, Ballard began to look for the lost liner Titanic. And two miles down, in the dark sea at 49°56' W,
41°43' N, he found it.
     The oceanographer, who later found the German battleship Bismarck and the liner Lusitania, says simply,
"Failure and success are bedfellows, so I'm ready to fail."
     Ballard's worked in the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography. Students will join
him on his latest research-exploring ancient trade routes in the Black and Mediterranean seas.
1. Ballard failed his attempt to find the RMS Titanic mainly because _____.
[     ]
A. an explosion damaged the salvage vessel greatly
B. the equipment for the exploration broke and sank
C. the sea condition was too terrible for the exploration
D. something was wrong with the drill pipe  
2. What influence did the failure have on Ballard?
[     ]
A. Sponsors wouldn't provide him with money any more. 
B. He became a navy officer in charge of the research on Argo.
C. It took him eight years to seek support from other scientists.
D. He had to work in a university to launch the program once more.
3. The U.S. Navy decided to help Ballard because _____.
[     ]
A. They wanted to test the use of the Argo
B. They also wanted to find the RMS Titanic
C. They were the sponsors of the 1977 expedition
D. Ballard would offer them his expert skill and knowledge
4. Where did Ballard find the RMS Titanic?
[     ]
A. Near the submarine Thresher.
B. Near the German battleship Bismarck.
C. Just next to the liner Lusitania.
D. Not far from the submarine Scorpion.
