A
It was my birthday so my wife, my brother and my child treated ourselves to dinner in a restaurant that we had never been to before. As we walked back to our car, a very thin man went to my brother saying he hadn’t eaten for the whole day and asking for money. Usually, my wife and I treat such requests with suspicion, but my brother took a different attitude and he started talking with the man.
The man said he was a singer and had come to Dubai from Pakistan to find work. His visa (签证) was going to the deadline after three or four days. He had no friends here, couldn’t find a singing job, and was surviving hand to mouth. He had a return ticket that had to be confirmed. To do this he needed 70 Dirhams (迪拉姆(货币名称)).
My brother gave him 20 Dirhams for food and asked the man to give him a call from the airline’s ticket office the next day. He also gave the man a travel card for the Dubai subway. Later, I found out that my brother went to the ticket office the next day and had this man’s ticket confirmed. There were some extra fees, plus the man’s 300 Dirhams of rent to be paid. Having done all that my brother then helped the man get some chocolates and gifts to take back home to his family.
The man was so touched. He kept in touch and even called my brother from Pakistan later, thanking him for all his help.
Well, it was a valuable lesson in human kindness that I learnt from my younger brother on my birthday!

There was a time when the owners of shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters in return for “protection”. If the money was not paid immediately, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Getting “protection money” is not a modern means. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.
Then Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a group of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to those who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money with this method. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero .When he died at eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had his picture painted, which was in memory of “this bravest man”.

Butterfly gardening has become a very popular hobby within the last few years, yet many people still do not know what butterfly gardening even is, or that it is possible. Butterfly gardening all starts out with planting and growing flowers. These flowers are grown to attract the butterflies with their attractive colors.
There is no set in stone plan when designing your butterfly garden. You may create it however you see fit. But there are a couple of things that you do need to keep in mind when planning the layout for your garden. The main thing is making sure that you pick the appropriate flowers and plants to grow in your garden. This will require a little research on your part. A great place to do the research is to go online or to simply go to your library and read a few books on them. You will also need to determine how large you would like your garden to be.
Butterflies love to be around a source of water. So you will want to be sure to have some kind of water around your garden. The common solution is to buy a birdbath at your local garden center. Another great choice, but slightly more costly, would be to dig a small pond, and pump water through it.
Whichever flowers you decide to plant in your butterfly garden, be sure that they are flowers that produce lots of nectar (花蜜). Like hummingbirds, butterflies are attracted to the nectar of the flowers instead of the pollen (花粉). Honeysuckle is always a great choice. There are many other kinds of nectar producing flowers as well though. Lilacs and most kinds of lilies also have nectar.
46. What is the most important for butterfly gardening?
A. Finding proper flowers and plants. B. Planning the layout for your garden.
C. Building a source of water. D. Finding the proper position.

The Great Fire of London of September 1666 was one of the most famous incidents in England. It was the second tragedy to hit the city in the space of 12 months. Just as the city was recovering from the Great Plague (大瘟疫), people had to flee the city once again — this time not as a result of a disease, but the result of the human accident.
The fire started in a baker’s shop owned by Thomas Farriner — who was the king’s baker. His maid failed to put out the ovens at the end of the night. The heat created by the ovens caused sparks to ignite (点燃) the wooden home of Farriner. In a panic, the maid tried to climb out of the building but failed. She was one of the few victims of the fire. Once it started, the fire spread quickly. The city was basically made out of wood and with September following on from the summer, the city was very dry. Strong winds fanned the flames.
The heat created by the fire was so great that the lead roof on the old St Paul’s Cathedral melted. Many saw the lead flowing down to the streets. It was said that many pigeons lost their lives as they refused to leave their nests and their wing feathers got burned. But the actual human casualty rate was remarkably small with possibly only 5 people dying in this fire.
The Great Fire had burned down 84 churches and the old St Paul’s. However, it had also destroyed the filthy (脏的) streets associated the Great Plague. In this sense, the fire did London a favor and it was now up to the city’s authority to re-plan and re-build the city.
51. What do we know about London when the Great Fire of London broke out?
A. It had been hit by a terrible disease 12 months earlier.
B. Most people had left the city.
C. Many people had lost their homes in the accident.
D. The Great Plague was still spreading in the city.
52. The fire started because .
A. the maid burned the wooden house on purpose
B. something was wrong with the ovens
C. the wind blew the flames out of the ovens
D. the maid of the baker didn’t put out the ovens
53. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the fire spread quickly?
A. The city was basically made out of wood.
B. The buildings in the city were close to each other.
