I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 31 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-aged children. At the end of the day, he would 32 his taxi on the road. I 33 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 34 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 35 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was a 36 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 37 to be outside one evening two weeks 38 , when the garage door was 39 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce(劳斯莱斯)! It shook me completely 40 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 41 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a(n) 42 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 43 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a (n) 44 .
We go to bed every night and 45 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 46 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 47 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how much bigger and better a 48 we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by 49 it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 50 we are than what we do!

Growing up in the U.S.A., I always wanted to experience another culture. The 1 came when I was 15. After several months of 2 , I was ready to spend the second term of my first year of high school as an exchange student in Australia.
Landing in Perth was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I 3 then that there was no turning back. The family I would live with was waiting for me, and it would be only five days 4 the new school year started.
The Catholic school I 5 was different from my public school back in the States. The uniform code was very strict. We were only 6 to wear one bracelet, which had to be a watch and one necklace, which had to have a Holy Cross. I was quite intimidated(害怕的) at first, 7 never having been to a new school—even in the United States. Everything went 8 , though. The teachers were welcoming and the students were friendly.
The most unforgettable time of my term abroad was with forty-one other international exchange students traveling around Australia during our term break. Our 9 were as extensive as our nationalities: we traveled to Sydney, Canberra, Mildura, Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kings Canyon, Alice Springs, Mount Isa, Airlie Beach, and the Cold Coast.
The few weeks we enjoyed together were crowded with 10 . We took a day-cruise on Darling Harbor and visited the Sydney Opera House. We slept in an “underground town”. We walked around the famous Ayers Rock and went sailing on the Pacific Ocean.
At the end of our 11 in Australia, we had three weeks of traveling time to share our stories and help each other deal with leaving. It was 12 that our last day together was filled with tears. We packed our camp, exchanged e-mail addresses, and gathered together for a final good-bye.

“Excuse me,”he said.“I’m looking for my uncle,Mr.White.I believe he is staying here.”
“He was staying here.”Mrs.Crump corrected him.“But I’m afraid that he went back to London yesterday.”
“Oh,dear,”said the young man,looking disappointed.“I understood that he was going to stay here until the end of the month.At least that is what his servant told me when I rang up his house.”
“Quite right,”said Mrs,Cramp.“He planned to stay here the whole of July,as he always does. But yesterday he got a telegram to say that his relative was ill.So he caught the train back to London immediately.”

Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away - straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared (红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest (害虫)problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color - coded map showing where plants were running“ fevers”. Farmers could then spot - spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only ff Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
56.Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are________.
A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scanner
C. in poor physical condition D. exposed to excessive sun rays
57.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________.
A. estimate the damage to the crops B. measure the size of the affected area
C. draw a color -coded map D. locate the problem area
58.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________.
A. resorting to spot – spraying B. consulting infrared scanning experts
C. transforming poisoned rain D. detecting crop problems at an early stage
59.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties________.,
A. the lack of official support B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production
60.Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of________.
A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D. full support from agricultural experts
