Last Friday after doing all the family shopping in town I    2a rest before catching the train, so I bought a    3and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop---- that cheap, self-service place with long   4to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and the chocolate on the table to    5a place and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the    6seat. It was one of those   7young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright    8at the front, not so unusual these days. What did    9me was he’d started to eat my chocolate!

Then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly    12it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a    13piece, I felt more    14than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I   15it.

The boy gave me a   16look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone   17. That really made me feel silly, but it was    18when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red----- as red as his hair when I    19I’d made a mistake. There was mine, unopened, just under my    20.

In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.

After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had been fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have dropped this” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change and headed west.

On the way out of town, he began to understand what the waiter did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”

Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants.

When I was looking at my railway timetable, I read with satisfaction that there was an express train (快车) to Westhaven. It went to the station in my hometown and the journey lasted only an hour and 17 minutes. When I got on the train, I couldn’t help noticing that a lot of villagers got on as well. At that time I was not surprised at all. I thought that there might be many people besides myself who wished to take the express train to save time. Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Wildly, a small station a few miles along the line. Even an express train can be delayed sometimes. But when the train stopped station after station, I began to wonder. It suddenly struck me that this express was not running down the line at 90 miles an hour, but no more than 30. One hour and 17 minutes passed and we had not covered half the distance. I asked a passenger if this was Westhaven Express, but he said he had not even heard of it. Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the station master at Westhaven. When he said there was not such an express train, I asked for his copy of the timetable. There was a sign of victory in my voice when I told him that it was there in black and white. Looking at the timetable, he told me to look careful. At the bottom of the page it said, “This service has been stopped.”

There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能)

    First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.

   Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.

   Third, there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.

   Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster(灾难) is extremely high.

1.Which of the following is FALSE?

   A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.

   B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.

   C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.

   D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.

2.The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are ＿＿＿ .

   A. easy      B. impossible        C. reasonable      D. ineffective

3.What do we learn from the last paragraph?

   A. The power station is a safe place.

   B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.

   C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.

   D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.

4.What is this passage about?

A. Uses of nuclear power.

B. Dangers from nuclear power.

C. Public anger at nuclear power.

D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.

5.As for the possible dangers of nuclear power, ______.

   A. none of them can be completely avoided

   B. effective measures have been taken to avoid them

   C. man will never be able to do anything about them

   D. one is usually the cause of another
