A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket,  then claimed the ￡25000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabhatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped "to help", stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.

     Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a  winner. He claimed the 60 million lire prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying, "I'm trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him--a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity guaranteed."

      Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized--and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not behave what was happening. "Why didn't you keep the money?" he asked. The professor replied, "I couldn't, because it's not mine." Then he walked off, spurning the thief's offer of a reward.

The sentence "Then he began a battle with his conscience." in Paragraph 2 implies all of the following EXCEPT that

   A. he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery results

   B. he hesitated about keeping the money for some time

   C. he thought for a moment of avenging himself on the robber

   D. he came to realize that honesty is more important than money

Hundreds of people phoned professor Sabhatucci because they         .

   A. wanted to make fun of him   B. hoped to get the money

   C. knew who the robber was    D. lost the lottery ticket

The underlined word "spurning” in the last sentence can be replaced by         .

    A. accepting      B. claiming      C. rejecting      D. canceling

If the story appears in a newspaper, the best title might be          .

   A. A Thief's lucky Day        B. A popular Maths Professor

   C. A Magic lottery           D. A Reward of Honesty

Dear Mr Help:

I’m writing for some advice on my studies. As you know, football is a very popular sport in the world and I am appealing to it and I’ve fallen in love with it, which makes me feel so crazy. I have spent lots of time doing things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, and searching the Web for more information about football. As a result, it has certainly disturbed my normal study. Though I know to be a football fan is my hobby and my aim in school is to learn more knowledge, I can’t concentrate on my lessons and gradually I am tired of them. I am still a Senior Two middle school student, and I’ll have my own business even when I grow up, so I am not likely to do a job in the field of football. But now I can’t stop myself from getting involved further with football. So I feel very depressed and want to know how to deal with the contradiction between my studies and hobbies.

                                                           Sincerely yours,

                                                               Li Ming

Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. Behind these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 101 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.

    _102_ is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help his rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about this day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.

    One day, he came up with an idea 103 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so _104_ next day.

    He was very tired 105 doing this for a whole day,   106 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 107 (high).

    His son had been told _108_ this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.

This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 109 (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often 110 (result) in the contrary to our intention.
