Community service for 20 years. 答案 60.C 61.D 62.B 63.B Passage 50 The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches (串) of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. "Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira" He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill He didn't have change, so I told him not to worry. He .said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth. When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the comer selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What's up . I asked him. “I...I don't have money to buy books for school. I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. "Will this help? I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. "Thank you, sir," he said. 'Thank you very much. When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he's a cheat ? And then I wondered why I did it Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask. Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face "oh, gosh! Long time." "Are you in school now? I asked. He nodded. "That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. "Take this. He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's wrong? I asked. "It's a gift" He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. HIS face shone with sweat . He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to give these to you."

Buster Brown was a thief—and a good one，too，he thought. He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances. He was always Prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency.

Confidently，he stood outside the house of his intended victim(受害者)and read the sign on the front gate of the house. “Don't worry about the dog—be aware of the owner !” it said. Buster smiled and found his way in.

The house looked quite normal outside，but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. As he began putting them into his bag，a dog came into the room. It stopped when it saw Buster，then wagged its tail madly and went over to him，licking his outstretched hand. “Good boy，” Buster whispered. “What a great guard dog you are—trying to lick me to death.”

Satisfied he’d made friends with the dog，Buster began to wander round the house，choosing items to put in his bag. His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques(古董)：a pair of silver candleholders，a silver tea-and-coffee service，etc. His new friend，the dog，sat and watched，as if wondering what was happening.

“Well，boy，”Buster whispered，finally. “That might do. Any more and I won’t be able to carry it!” He swung the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his hand.

“You’re a very silly person,” the figure in the doorway said, his voice dry as dust. As the man came closer, Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn’t quite place where he had seen him before.

“You should have taken more notice of the sign outside,” the man rasped. “I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of the world’s greatest fortune-teller!”

60. Why was Buster so confident?

A. He was not afraid of dogs. B. He knew the owner of the house lived alone

C. He had never been caught by the police. D. The house had no security alarm.

61. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the word “exotic” in the third paragraph?

A. Messy and untidy. B. Rich and expensive.

C. Comfortable and calming. D. Foreign and unusual.

62. How did Buster decide which objects to take?

A. He took those that were easy to carry in his bag.

B. He took only the best antiques.

C. He took those that he knew he could sell easily.

D. He looked for silver objects.

63. What punishment waits for Buster Brown?
