Mr Smith was the manager of a hotel in Springfield. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. Late in the evening three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr Smith explained that because of the meeting, there were no rooms ready for use. The men were very unhappy because they had no place to stay in.
Mr Smith wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 414, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men agreed. Mr Smith told them that the room would cost $30: $10 for each. Each of them gave Mr Smith $10, and they went up to the room.
Mr Smith soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is too much for that small room,” he thought. He called one of his men over and said, “Here is $ 5. Bring it to the man in Room 414. I’ve asked too much money for their room.”
The worker took the money from his manager. While he was on his way to Room 414, he started to think, “How can I divide $5? Well, I’ll give each of them only $1 and I keep $2. The men will be happy to get anything back. I’ll make a little money and Mr Smith will never know.” So he returned $1 to each man.
You see, there come a problem, each man had at first paid $10. After the worker returned them $1 each, each man had paid 9. There were three men, $9 x 3 =" $27." The worker kept $2 —$27+$2="29." Where is the missing dollar?
【小题1】Which of the following is True?

In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforests of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (种族的)  ___16___ called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any ___17___ of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hunted animals and  __18___ fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of stone, lived in  ___19__ and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they    20     became world famous. After that, there were TV    21    and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not   22    by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world    23     about them.

In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey   __24____ thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was    25     killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten    26     and found the caves of the Tasaday    27   . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all    28     jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority    29    .

When he    30     to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not    31     from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to    32     they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start   ___33     into the region.

One group of experts said that they really were people who had no    34     with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just    35     the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.

1. A. man           B. group                C. chief                D. tradition

2. A. knowledge     B. impression           C. doubt                D. fear

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my  16  , it was the same score.
Later that evening, I   17  told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agreed that we knew our son much better than an IQ test. We decided that Michael’s score must have been a   18  and we should treat him   19  as usual.
We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year, he got     20   grades in the school, especially in biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.
Michael   21   Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student. Soon afterwards, his teacher permitted him to take more courses than  22 . In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.
On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I   23  the ceremony (典礼) at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the   24  IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say   25 , “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the  26  we had in him.
Interestingly, Michael then asked for another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had   27  the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be  28 .
Children often do as well as what adults, particularly parents and teachers,  29 of them. That is, tell a child he is “  30  ” , and he may play the role of a foolish child.
