So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,” he said politely, “Ill just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldnt have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“Yes,” She answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”“Thats fine,” said Harry. “My little girl cant swim a bit yet. Of course, shes only three”“Im four,” the child said proudly. “Ill be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “But you didnt get one for your daughter, did you?”“Err, well” the woman looked at the child. “I mean she hasnt started school yet. Shes only four.”“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, madam. A childs return ticket to Jersey costs let me see13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe 1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine”The woman stood up, took the childs hand and left the office.29.

However, the strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can even stand up to very strong storms. In each spider web, some threads are sticky(粘的), but some are not. When a spider is moving on the web, it will not step on the sticky threads. After a time the silk will lose its stickiness and become unable to catch insects. Then, spiders usually eat their own web. Now a team of scientists has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a webs success is its ability to keep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break, say scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The scientists found the thread itself has the ability to become softer or harder. So it can hold different types of heavy things.In tests, scientists used three other strong materials(材料) made into the same webs. The spider thread was six times stronger than any other material. More surprisingly, when the scientists took away up to 10 percent of the threads from different places, the web didnt become any weaker. Actually, it became up to 10 percent stronger. The spider webs clever design gives scientists many new ideas. The findings could help design safer buildings and even a new type of strong material. “Its a really good chance,” said Markus Buehler, a professor at MIT. “It may give us some new ideas for engineering.” 32.According to the passage, the spider web is strong because . a. the spiders thread is sticky b. the thread has a lot of strength c. the web has a clever design d. the web can keep the strength foreverA. ab B. ac C. bc D. bd 33.In paragraph 4, the scientists tests show that . A. the spiders thread is stronger than the other three materials B. the spiders thread is the strongest material in the world C. the spiders thread can be as soft or hard as it needs to beD. taking away some spider thread makes the web weaker 34.From the last paragraph, we learn that .

Professor Buehler will make a new type of material35.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How spiders catch insectsB. How spiders design websC. Spiders are clever designersD. Webs are stronger than steelDMany children use the Internet to get useful knowledge and information, and to relax in their free time.

MARYLANDAn old postcard changed the lives of an eleven-year-old boy and a very sick woman. The postcard had a picture of the steamship Titanic. The Titanic was the largest ocean ship in the world. It hit an iceberg(冰山) and sank on April 14. 1912. More than 1,500 of the 2,200 people on the ship were killed.The postcard was passed from one person to another for more than 80 years. Then it appeared at a card show for people who liked to collect postcards. An eleven-year-old boy, Joey Russell, came to the show with his grandfather. His grandfather knew everything about the Titanic and its trip from England to New York. “Lets buy that postcard.” he told Joey. “It will be important someday.”Two years later, Joeys grandfather took him on a special trip. They went on a trip to the North Atlantic Ocean to watch as workers pulled the Titanic up from the bottom of the ocean. Joey put his special postcard in his bag for the trip. On the ship, Joey met Edith Haisman. This woman was on the Titanic when it sank. She was one of the people who were rescued. Joey pulled the postcard out of his pocket. “Please sign this, Mrs. Haisman.” he said. She was happy to write her name on the back of the postcard.When Joey got home, he put the postcard away and forgot about it, Then Kate Shelley, one of Joeys friends, told him that her mother was very sick. She needed an operation, but there was a problem. The operation was very expensive, and the family needed $80, 000 to pay for it. Friends and relatives tried to help. Bu
