People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to    15   the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗议) against heavy trucks which run    16   through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it    17   to sleep at night, but they are doing damage(损害) to our houses and shops of historical   18  ,”

said John Norris, one of the protesters.

“ 19  we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a  20    village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.

  Harry Fields also studying    21    said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音的), so they probably don’t    22   . It’s high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.

  I asked if they were    23    that the police might come to stop them.

  “Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no    24    against practising.”

I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

A recent study offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal(致命的)accident as a teenager driving alone. However, the possibility of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional (added) passenger.
  It was also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late night accident.
  Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to help solve the problem is to have states setting up so-called graduated licensing systems(等级执照制). A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove that he/she is able to drive in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with a limited number of passengers, before graduating to full driving on his own. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place. The systems have reduced teenage driver crashes(相撞), according to recent studies.
【小题1】Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?

A.Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.
B.A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.
C.Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.
D.A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.
【小题2】According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly because __.
A.their preference for driving at night
B.their lack of driving experience
C.their careless way of driving
D.their driving with passengers

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

  The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training.

  “Mr. Tanaka,” the boy finally asked, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

  “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” his teacher replied.

  Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). The boy won his first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his own success.

  This time, his opponent (对手) was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. The referee (裁判) wanted to stop the match.

  “No,” the teacher insisted, “let him continue.” Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment the boy used his move to pin (钉住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion.

  On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.

  “Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”

  “You won for two reasons,” his teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense (防守) for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

  The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength (优点).

1.The boy decided to study judo though ____________.

A.he was only ten years old

B.he would have an old teacher

C.he had lost his left arm in a car accident

D.he knew he was not clever

2.How did the boy feel when he was in the finals?

A.Proud.   B.Surprised.   C.Worried.   D.Happy.

3.What can you infer (推断) from the passage?

A.The boy wasn’t doing well at first.

B.Mr. Tanaka is a good teacher because he knows his student’s strength and weakness.

C.The referee believed the boy would win.

D.The boy had predicted that he would win.
