C
A white-haired old gentleman steps out of his car, bag in hand and coat over his arm, he has called from the office to say that he is on the way. His wife is preparing supper. He can see the light shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to a fire and hot milk. It is a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy ground in a pool of his own blood.
  It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen in the capital city of the United States. It is more likely to happen in the near-deserted city center at night. What happened to him could happen to any of us.
  Senator Stennis, who is 71 , got out of his white Buick at 7:40 p.m. outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said, "Get out! Money, please." He followed the order. He handed over his wallet containing several cards, a gold watch and the only money he had in his pockets—twenty-five cents. The youths also said, "Now we're going to shoot you anyway." Anyway they did. One bullet(子弹) hit him in the leg and struck the bone. The other entered his chest just below the upper pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.
  Strangely he made it across a ten-meter distance, up eight steps and along twenty more feet of stone path. His wife met him at the door, and saw two men running. The senator told her to call the police and the doctor.
  The senator is a powerful political figure, but it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was. More likely the reason for the killing was that he had only no more than a quarter of dollar - not enough for two cups of coffee.
49 According to the passage,_______.
  A. such a mugging(行凶抢劫) might have happened to anyone
  B. the mugging happened on a cold evening in a senator's home
  C. the senator was killed because he was an important politician
  D. the mugging might not have happened if the senator was young and strong
50. Having robbed the senator, the two young men _______.
  A. pulled him into a pool    B. shot two bullets into his body
  C. hit out at him hard     D. carried him away
51. The two young men were angry by the fact that _______.
  A. the senator attempted to cheat them
  B. they failed to get the senator's expensive car
  C. the senator didn't die in their hands
  D. the mugging didn't bring them what they had expected
52 Which of the following statements is not true?
  A. A near-deserted city center at night is a dangerous place.
  B. People should always carry some money with them.
  C. Though seriously wounded, the senator managed to get home on his own.
  D. The senator's wife met the two men and recognized them.

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
  Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit patients— even when those patients are their parents. This deprives(剥夺)the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
  Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
  It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their reat need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to deal with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death.
82.The elders of today's Americans________ .
  A. are often absent when a family member is born or dying
  B. usually see the birth or death of a family member  
C. are unfamiliar with birth and death
  D. have often experienced the fear of death as part of life
83.Children in America are deprived of the chance to________.
  A. visit a patient at hospital                                 B. visit their family members
  C. look after the patients                                              D. learn how to face death 
84.The need of a dying patient for people to accompany him shows________.
  A. his wish for communication with other people               
B. his fear of death
  C. his unwillingness to die                          
D. he feels very upset about his condition
85.It may be concluded from the passage that________.
  A. dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition
  B. dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death
  C. most patients are unable to accept death until it can’t be avoided
D. dying patients are not likely to be informed about their condition
