Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a   41   on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from   42   to toe , explained that he had    43   out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children   44   at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.

Once I had    45    a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46   ,saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he    47   me back.

Before leaving, I had turned the heater   48   in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and   49   .While the little ones played and ran   50   ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the   51   .

It was about 5 a.m. before they    52   .The young fellow asked me how much he   53   me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    54   $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.

About a month later, I received a   55    from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to   56   to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It   57   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most   58   person in the company.

In his letter, he thanked me again and    59   me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this   60   ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.

On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people drowned.

Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the Earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.

Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?

1.What is mainly described in the passage?

A. A historic discovery.           B. An event of imagination.

C. A research on space.           D. A scientific adventure.

2.When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes      .

A. an earthquake                B. damages to cities

C. an Earth explosion            D. huge waves

3.Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?

A. Because the land is covered with water.

B. Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the Earth.

C. Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.

D. Because wars break out among countries.

4.By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove      .

A. animals could not live in the cold climate

B. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story

C. the human beings will die out in 2094

D. the Earth could be hit by other objects in space
