There was once a rich old abbot (男修道院院长) in England who lived a very rich life. When King John, who was the worst king that England ever had, heard of the way in which the abbot lived, he decided to stop it. So he sent for the old man and said, “Your fault is clear, and unless you can answer me three questions within two weeks, your head shall be cut off, and all your money shall be mine. Firstly, you must tell me just how long I shall live. Secondly, you must tell me how long I shall ride round the whole world, and lastly, you shall tell me what I think.”
The abbot went to Oxford and Cambridge for help but not one of the teachers in the great schools could. At last, sad and sorrowful, he rode towards home. Then he met his shepherd (牧羊人) and told him all that had happened.
“Cheer up, good master. I think I can help you out of your trouble.”
The shepherd dressed himself up with great care and looked just like the abbot. Then he went to the king.
“How long shall I live?” “You will live until the day that you die, and not one day longer.”
“How long shall I ride round the world?” “You must rise with the sun, and you must ride with the sun until it rises again the next morning. As soon as you do that, you will find that you have ridden round the world in twenty-four hours.”
“What do I think?” “You think that I am the abbot. But, to tell you the truth, I am only his poor shepherd, and I come to beg your pardon for him and for me.”
The king laughed long. “Very well then, you have won the old abbot a free pardon from King John for this joke.”

Putting on a play can be fun. Acting can be like the “let’s pretend (假装)” and dress-up (盛装打扮) games children play. Actors pretend, to be other people. They try to look like other persons and talk as other persons do.
Professional (职业的) actors take part in plays and television programs given in New York and other large cities. They earn their living by acting. But other people act in plays just for fun and are not paid for their work. They belong to (属于) little theater groups. In the daytime, they are students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, or police officers. They are actors only in the evenings or on weekends.
One of the country’s oldest little theater groups is in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is called the Players Club, and it put on eight plays a year. People in the city buy tickets to see the plays. Anyone in Indianapolis who wants to act may join the Players Club. Before each play, auditions (试演) are held so that people can try out for the different parts. Not all members of the group are actors. People are also needed to help with the lighting, clothes and makeup.
There are little theater groups in many cities. They continue to put on plays because they bring pleasure to a large number of people. People in a little theater group enjoy having the chance to act, and the audience enjoy watching the plays.

Okay, it’s the last minute for deciding and choosing Father’s Day gifts (礼物). You may have some difficulty in deciding what you can buy for your dear father. Here are some last-minute ideas.
Music. If you’ve got the money, and think Dad might like enjoying his own MP3 player, go with an Apple iPod, which would allow him to listen to from a Yahoo! Music subscription (订制). If he’s a CD man, buy a CD for him with some new songs that you think he’d like.
Digital camera. The most expensive thing on this last-minute list, the Canon PowerShot SD600 IS Digital Elph is a can’t-miss choice for excellent photos with simple-to-use features (特点). It is easy to carry and take great pictures of the kids nearly without much work.
Do something for him. Sometimes the best gift is noticing what Dad does around the house to keep things running, and then offering to do it instead of him, such as cutting grass, taking out the garbage (垃圾) and recycling for a month. If you don’t live near your dad, you can promise (答应) to do a few things to help out around the house on the next visit, but remember: You must do as you say!
Do something simple. With a computer, kids can make a special and personal T-shirt for Dad quickly and easily with EasyImage.
Father’s Day is coming before we know it. Don’t put it off another day! Go to shop to buy what you think your father likes, and he will be happy. I am sure!

How can a foreign doctor become an American doctor? One way is to finish a medical residency in the United States. A residency is a period of hospital training for medical school students.
Foreign-trained doctors need to be accepted by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates. This needs passing several tests. After that, foreign doctors can receive a visa (签证) to stay in the United States, at least for the training period. Practicing medicine in the United States also needs other steps.
But the first thing that foreign-trained doctors have to do is make sure they went to a recognized (认可的) medical school. It has to be listed in the FAIMER International Medical Education Directory. FAIMER is the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research.
If their school is not listed, then foreign-trained doctors cannot be accepted for a residency. One way is to go back to medical school — an American medical school.
125 schools in the United States are led by the Association of American Medical Colleges. The group says last year more than 1,100 foreigners applied for (申请) the school year and one-fourth of them were accepted at last.
Almost all medical schools in the United States need the persons who apply for the school year to report marks from the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).
Future doctors in the United States need to finish four years of medical school after college. Then, they treat patients under the lead of experienced doctors. A residency is often between three and seven years. The first year is called an internship (实习期).
The Association of American Medical Colleges publishes a book called Medical School Admissions Requirements. The newest one is for 2008-2009, which has information about every school and information for foreign students. The book costs twenty-five dollars and can be ordered through its Website.
52. The passage mainly tells us _____.
A. how to buy Medical School Admissions Requirements
B. how to be a doctor in the USA as a foreigner
C. what future doctors in the United States need to do
D. something about American doctors
53. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. not every foreigner applying for the school year can be successful
B. in America internship means the last year of a residency
C. marks of doctors from the MCAT are unnecessary for American medical schools
D. you can get Medical School Admissions Requirements more cheaply through the Internet
54. Which of the following is the right order for a foreign doctor becoming an American doctor?
① To pass several tests.
② To get a visa to stay in America.
③ To finish a medical residency.
④ To make sure if he went to a recognized medical school.
A. ①③②④ B. ④①②③
C. ①④②③ D. ①②④③
55. If a foreign doctor went to a school not listed in the FAIMER International Medical Education Directory _____.
A. he won’t work as a doctor in USA for ever
B. his residency will be seven years instead of three years
C. he can go to another medical school listed in the organization
D. he can be a doctor under the lead of experienced doctors

He ran so fast when crossing the street that he didn’t notice a speeding car came round the corner. I was scared and shouted at him to stop, but it was too late. The boy was knocked down by the car. I hurried to the boy, crying for help. But the driver didn’t stop and drove away. The boy was bleeding when the policemen and doctors arrived. Then the boy was taken to the hospital at once. A policeman asked me some questions, but I was of no help, because I didn’t get a look at the number of the car.
Later, I learned the boy died because he lost too much blood. I was so sad and I will never forget that terrible accident.

Putting on a play can be fun. Acting can be like the “let’s pretend (假装)” and dress-up (盛装打扮) games children play. Actors pretend, to be other people. They try to look like other persons and talk as other persons do.
Professional (职业的) actors take part in plays and television programs given in New York and other large cities. They earn their living by acting. But other people act in plays just for fun and are not paid for their work. They belong to (属于) little theater groups. In the daytime, they are students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, or police officers. They are actors only in the evenings or on weekends.
One of the country’s oldest little theater groups is in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is called the Players Club, and it put on eight plays a year. People in the city buy tickets to see the plays. Anyone in Indianapolis who wants to act may join the Players Club. Before each play, auditions (试演) are held so that people can try out for the different parts. Not all members of the group are actors. People are also needed to help with the lighting, clothes and makeup.
There are little theater groups in many cities. They continue to put on plays because they bring pleasure to a large number of people. People in a little theater group enjoy having the chance to act, and the audience enjoy watching the plays.

Okay, it’s the last minute for deciding and choosing Father’s Day gifts (礼物). You may have some difficulty in deciding what you can buy for your dear father. Here are some last-minute ideas.
Music. If you’ve got the money, and think Dad might like enjoying his own MP3 player, go with an Apple iPod, which would allow him to listen to from a Yahoo! Music subscription (订制). If he’s a CD man, buy a CD for him with some new songs that you think he’d like.
Digital camera. The most expensive thing on this last-minute list, the Canon PowerShot SD600 IS Digital Elph is a can’t-miss choice for excellent photos with simple-to-use features (特点). It is easy to carry and take great pictures of the kids nearly without much work.
Do something for him. Sometimes the best gift is noticing what Dad does around the house to keep things running, and then offering to do it instead of him, such as cutting grass, taking out the garbage (垃圾) and recycling for a month. If you don’t live near your dad, you can promise (答应) to do a few things to help out around the house on the next visit, but remember: You must do as you say!
Do something simple. With a computer, kids can make a special and personal T-shirt for Dad quickly and easily with EasyImage.
Father’s Day is coming before we know it. Don’t put it off another day! Go to shop to buy what you think your father likes, and he will be happy. I am sure!

How can a foreign doctor become an American doctor? One way is to finish a medical residency in the United States. A residency is a period of hospital training for medical school students.
Foreign-trained doctors need to be accepted by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates. This needs passing several tests. After that, foreign doctors can receive a visa (签证) to stay in the United States, at least for the training period. Practicing medicine in the United States also needs other steps.
But the first thing that foreign-trained doctors have to do is make sure they went to a recognized (认可的) medical school. It has to be listed in the FAIMER International Medical Education Directory. FAIMER is the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research.
If their school is not listed, then foreign-trained doctors cannot be accepted for a residency. One way is to go back to medical school — an American medical school.
125 schools in the United States are led by the Association of American Medical Colleges. The group says last year more than 1,100 foreigners applied for (申请) the school year and one-fourth of them were accepted at last.
Almost all medical schools in the United States need the persons who apply for the school year to report marks from the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).
Future doctors in the United States need to finish four years of medical school after college. Then, they treat patients under the lead of experienced doctors. A residency is often between three and seven years. The first year is called an internship (实习期).
The Association of American Medical Colleges publishes a book called Medical School Admissions Requirements. The newest one is for 2008-2009, which has information about every school and information for foreign students. The book costs twenty-five dollars and can be ordered through its Website.
52. The passage mainly tells us _____.
A. how to buy Medical School Admissions Requirements
B. how to be a doctor in the USA as a foreigner
C. what future doctors in the United States need to do
D. something about American doctors
53. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. not every foreigner applying for the school year can be successful
B. in America internship means the last year of a residency
C. marks of doctors from the MCAT are unnecessary for American medical schools
D. you can get Medical School Admissions Requirements more cheaply through the Internet
54. Which of the following is the right order for a foreign doctor becoming an American doctor?
① To pass several tests.
② To get a visa to stay in America.
③ To finish a medical residency.
④ To make sure if he went to a recognized medical school.
A. ①③②④ B. ④①②③
C. ①④②③ D. ①②④③
55. If a foreign doctor went to a school not listed in the FAIMER International Medical Education Directory _____.
A. he won’t work as a doctor in USA for ever
B. his residency will be seven years instead of three years
C. he can go to another medical school listed in the organization
D. he can be a doctor under the lead of experienced doctors

An unforgettable accident
Early last Thursday morning, I was walking on my way to school as usual. A little boy ran past me.
He ran so fast when crossing the street that he didn’t notice a speeding car came round the corner. I was scared and shouted at him to stop, but it was too late. The boy was knocked down by the car. I hurried to the boy, crying for help. But the driver didn’t stop and drove away. The boy was bleeding when the policemen and doctors arrived. Then the boy was taken to the hospital at once. A policeman asked me some questions, but I was of no help, because I didn’t get a look at the number of the car.
Later, I learned the boy died because he lost too much blood. I was so sad and I will never forget that terrible accident.
