    D
    I shall never forget the night, a few years ago, when Marion J. Douglas was a student in one of my adult-education classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss; but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”
    This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it,” this father told us. “I couldn’t sleep, eat, rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.” At last he went to the doctors; one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip, but neither helped. He said, “My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice(大钳子), and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief(悲伤) — if you have ever been paralyzed(使瘫痪) by sorrow, you know what the meant.
    “But thank God, I had one child left — a four-year-old son. He gave me the solution to the problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked, ‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent fellow! I had to gave in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.”
    “The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly, I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am busy now that I have no time for worry.”
    No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy. I have no time for worry.”
    53. The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to _____.

    A. having lost a loved one
    		B. having lost a valuable article
    C. having lost a profit-making business
    		D. having lost a well-paid job
    54. Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because _____.
    A. he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family
    B. he was suffering from sleeplessness disease
    C. he couldn’t get out of mental pressure
    D. he felt tired of adult-education classes
    55. Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because _____.
    A. he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them
    B. he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them
    C. the items had actually been broken and needed attention
    D. repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind
    56. At the end of the passage, the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to _____.
    A. prove that he followed Churchill’s example
    B. support his student’s solution to his problem
    C. show that he was successful in his career
    D. make it clear how his conclusion was reached

    The Man of Many Secrets — Harry Houdini — was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes — from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.
    Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.
    Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.
    It was the publicity(宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape ankle chins. But his biggest secret  was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck — and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.
    Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? World-wide fame and a name remembered today.
    【小题1】 According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on _______.

    A．his special tricks and supernatural powers
    B．his unusual ability and a skeleton key
    C．his magic tricks and inhuman powers

    【小题2】 In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this” refers to _______.
    A．his first prison escapeB．the year 1898
    C．the publicityD．Harry Houdini’s success
    【小题3】 It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous _______.
    A．in 1894B．before he married
    C．at the age of 17D．when he was about 24
    【小题4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A．A Skeleton KeyB．A Man of Many Secrets
