  Last week, I bought an alarm system(报警系统)for about $ 450.It consisted of a control unit with three other small units.I put the control unit in the sitting room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows.The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 491, the last three numbers of our telephone number.

  Now I must explain how the alarm works:

  1.There is a power siren(警报器)in the control unit.It makes a very loud noise.

  2.Each of the small units sends out rays in different directions.If anything moves, it breaks a beam.This sends a signal to the control unit.The siren makes a noise that you can hear 50 meters away.

  3.When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1.Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.

  That might I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜贼)could get into our house.However, at about 2:10a.m., I woke up and heard the siren(警报).

  “There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said.“What shall we do?”

  “I’ll go and see who’s there,” I said.“Stay here.Don’t make a noise.”

  I went downstairs quietly.When I reached the living room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room.Then I turned the light on.I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs.There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked.I locked it, re-set the alarm and went back to bed.

  About an hour later, the alarm started again.I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark and bumped into the bedroom door.Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch.“Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered.“It’s only me.I’ m going downstairs to see what’s wrong.”

  I went down into the living room and listened for a moment.The only sound I could hear was the siren.I turned on the light and then switched the siren off.As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows.I saw a house lizard(蜥蜴)disappear behind the curtains.

  “Oh!” I said to myself.“That’s our burglar.”

  When the lizard moved, it started the siren.I guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards.

  Well, I won’t finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know.I’ll send you ours.We bought a dog this morning.It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.

Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished.statements For each of them there are four chokes marked A、B、C andD.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

  Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are

  probably a mere walk away from your college.

  King's Art Centre

  A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most

  interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere.This weekend tees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

  You could attend a class teaching you how to 'learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint-free of charge.

  The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.

  The Botanic Garden

  The Garden has over 8, 000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

  The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.

  Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

  The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts.Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called 'Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

  Byron's Pool

  Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of"mess and drunkenness".However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough.I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans.He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

  It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool.A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea.If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf-over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
