  One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest.In fact, this uninvited guest was a bird-a(n)  1   , to be more precise.(精确地)

  “What's that? ” I asked when I first heard the thump(重击声).“It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball, ” my wife, Anita, said.She paused and   2   more carefully.“It's coming from the   3   , ” she said.“Maybe it's one of the little   4   ”.

  We rushed out the door.Jonathan, our youngest, was easy to make   5  .“If he's making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there.No children at all.But there was that   6   again, coming the right up there.

  And that's when I   7   the sparrow.It was flying   8   just inches below the ceiling.It was clearly trying to   9   , but couldn't see that the way out wasn't up, but down and out through the open   10  .So the bird continued beating its wings and hitting its head against the   11  

  “Poor thing, ” Anita said.“It must be   12  .”

  “Well, maybe it's because of me, ” I said as I moved toward it.I tried to show the bird how to glide(滑翔)down a few feet so it could get outside,   13   that only seemed to frighten it more.

  “Why don't we just   14   for a few minutes, ” Anita suggested.“I'm sure he'll   15   at last.”

  So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing struggle.Then suddenly, it was   16  .We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was   17  

  “See? ” Anita said.“I told you he would make it.”

  “Yeah, ” I said.“But how many knocks on the head did it   18   him? ”

  I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years.Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don't know how to   19  .Born to go upward, we don't   20   consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping(拍打)around and just glide down a little bit.

  Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air of second-hand smoke, but experts now have found another smoking-related threat to children's hearth:third-hand smoke.

  That's the expression which is used to describe the invisible yet poisonous gases that stick to smokers' hair and clothing and other things in the room.These gases stay long after smoke has cleared from the room.Young children can get them on their hands, especially if they are playing on the floor.

  “Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad, but they don't know about this,”said Dr.Jonathan P.Winickoff, the lead author of the study at Harvard Medical School.

  “When their kids are out of the house, they might smoke.Or they smoke in the car.They think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their kids.”Dr Winickoff continued.

  Third-hand smoke is what one smells when a smoker gets in an elevator(电梯)after going outside for a cigarette, or in a hotel room where people smoked.“Your nose isn't lying.”he said.“The smell is so bad that your brain is telling you:‘Get away’”.

  But far fewer people realized the risks of third-hand smoke.Since the expression is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that“breathing air in a room today where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of children.”Only 65% of nonsmokers and 43% of smokers agreed with that statement.

  “The central message here is that simply closing the kitchen door to take a smoke is not protecting the kids from the effects of that smoke,”said another doctor.“There are substances(物质)in this third-hand smoke, and they are a cancer risk for anybody of any age who comes close to them.”

  The fact that third-hand smoke is harmful will most probably lead to a strict smoking ban(禁止)at home.

(1)

You're experiencing third-hand smoke if you ________.

[  ]

A.

smell something strange in a hotel room

B.

live in a house where a smoker will move in

C.

enter a kitchen whose door was closed by a smoker

D.

stay in an office where someone smoked last night

(2)

What do Dr Winickoff's words in Paragraph 5 mean?

[  ]

A.

If people smoked in a room, you can tell it.

B.

Your nose sometimes gives wrong information.

C.

If you want to smoke, your nose will warn you.

D.

Sometimes your brain can tell lies.

(3)

From the passage, we can learn that ________.

[  ]

A.

the substances in third-hand smoke are sure to cause cancer

B.

most people know the bad sides of third-hand smoke

C.

third-hand smoke is worse than second-hand smoke

D.

smoking may not be allowed at home at all.

At Harton College-an English boarding school(寄宿制学校)for boys-there are many rules.Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks them.

The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class. But they must return to the school at six o’clock. One afternoon Bob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film, he looked at his watch. It was after eight o’clock. He was a little worried . He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.

When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance(主要入口).It was locked. He went round the school buiding to another door. That one was locked too. He looked up at the window of his dormitory(宿舍).It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he could not climb up the wall easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster’s study(书房).

He looked into the room-no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then someone turned on a light in the corridor(走郎).Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr Mannering the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa(沙发).Then he opened a book and began to read.

Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He couldn’t move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour.

“Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed?”Bob thought.

Mr. Mannering read his book for another hour.Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door.

“Thank God he didn’t find me under the sofa,”thought Bob.

Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa.
