A
I left my friend’s house shortly after seven. It was still too early for me to have my evening meal, so I walked along the seafront for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently complimented him on his excellent cooking.
I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me. I certainly did not know him, for I never forget a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I addressed each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well known in the restaurant. Eventually he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without another glance in my direction.
When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant over and asked him what the man had wanted. The owner was a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “Really?” I said, considerably surprised. “He followed you here because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner of the restaurant said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photograph of the wanted man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we know you here, I was able to convince him that he had made a mistake.” “It’s lucky I came to a restaurant where I am known,” I said, “otherwise I might have been arrested!”

Although most people know there are Seven Wonders in the Ancient World, only a few people can name them. This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids. However, there is a growing list of wonders of the world today. About nine years ago, UNESCO’s World Cultural and Natural Heritage (things that have come down to us from the past) List had 411 places and 136 countries were responsible to protect them, and the list keeps on growing.
Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list. The experts are chosen to work for six years. Their work is to examine and discuss the suggestions from different countries. They also manage the World Heritage Fund and have the right to decide what help to give to countries for protection work.
Over the past centuries a lot of cultural or historic places have been destroyed by man or nature. Protecting our natural and cultural heritage is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are some of the dangers that harm this heritage.
When a historic place is in great danger, it is put on the World Heritage in Danger List and necessary things will be done to protect it. Places which are on the Danger List include Historic Bridges of Indiana, Elizabeth’s Hospital, Rosenwald School in Southern U. S., etc.
41. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World include ______.
A. Golden Gate Bridge B. Sydney Opera House
C. the Great Wall D. the pyramids
42. According to the passage, ______ may provide some money for protecting the cultural relics.
A. UNESCO B. the World Heritage Fund
C. the 21 experts D. some countries
43. Why does the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List keep on growing?
A. There are more cultural heritages beginning to appear.
B. More countries begin to build cultural heritages.
C. A lot of cultural or historic places have disappeared.
D. More and more cultural heritages are in great danger.
44. Which of the following statements is true?
A. People can still visit the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World today.
B. Rosenwald School is a newly built school in Southern U.S.
C. More places will be added to the UNESCO list.
D. The list is decided mainly by the governments of different countries.

Dear Abby,
This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading your column (专栏) for many years. I need an outside opinion.
I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly-loved children---- all under age of 5 ------ and I am upset with some of their parenting ways.
For example:
They lock the doors to their children’s bedroom at night because “the children might get out of their beds and walk around the house, and we may not hear them.”
If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty word, all three are given hot sauce (热酱汁) in the mouth.
I know these parents love their children very much, but can these ways make them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).
Gram
Dear Gram,
Children’s bedroom doors shouldn’t be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare .
Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a way only to make them grow up to hate each other.
Children who use naughty words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth ---- they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the naughty word.
Abby
45. Gram’s daughter ______.
A. is very strict with her children B. doesn’t love her three children
C. always punishes her children at night D. often gives her children hot sauce
46. From the lines of the letters we’ll find that Gram likes______.
A. writing letters B. watching children
C. reading newspaper D. visiting her daughter
47. Gram writes the letter in order to ______.
A. criticize (批评) her daughter’s way as a mother
B. disclose how her daughter treats the children
C. express her angry about her daughter’s ways as a mom
D. get others’ opinions about her daughter’s was as a mom
48. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Gram seems to care for her grandchildren very much.
B. Gram is against some of her daughter’s ways as a mom.
C. Abby is for only one of Gram’s daughter’s ways as a mom.
D. Abby agrees with Gram about her daughter’s ways as a mom.

Their work is to examine and discuss the suggestions from different countries. They also manage the World Heritage Fund and have the right to decide what help to give to countries for protection work.
Over the past centuries a lot of cultural or historic places have been destroyed by man or nature. Protecting our natural and cultural heritage is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are some of the dangers that harm this heritage.
When a historic place is in great danger, it is put on the World Heritage in Danger List and necessary things will be done to protect it. Places which are on the Danger List include Historic Bridges of Indiana, Elizabeth’s Hospital, Rosenwald School in Southern U. S., etc.

Dear Abby,
This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading your column (专栏) for many years. I need an outside opinion.
I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly-loved children---- all under age of 5 ------ and I am upset with some of their parenting ways.
For example:
They lock the doors to their children’s bedroom at night because “the children might get out of their beds and walk around the house, and we may not hear them.”
If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty word, all three are given hot sauce (热酱汁) in the mouth.
I know these parents love their children very much, but can these ways make them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).
Gram
Dear Gram,
Children’s bedroom doors shouldn’t be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare .
Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a way only to make them grow up to hate each other.
Children who use naughty words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth ---- they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the naughty word.
Abby
45. Gram’s daughter ______.
A. is very strict with her children B. doesn’t love her three children
C. always punishes her children at night D. often gives her children hot sauce
46. From the lines of the letters we’ll find that Gram likes______.
A. writing letters B. watching children
C. reading newspaper D. visiting her daughter
47. Gram writes the letter in order to ______.
A. criticize (批评) her daughter’s way as a mother
B. disclose how her daughter treats the children
C. express her angry about her daughter’s ways as a mom
D. get others’ opinions about her daughter’s was as a mom
48. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Gram seems to care for her grandchildren very much.
B. Gram is against some of her daughter’s ways as a mom.
C. Abby is for only one of Gram’s daughter’s ways as a mom.
