Three young ladies were receiving trainings to be qualified detectives by a policeman.

quickly, “Think hard before giving a silly answer.” The third lady looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, “HMMMM… he is wearing contact lenses (眼镜).” The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn’t know himself if the man wore contacts or not. “Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file. He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect’s file in his computer and returned with a bright smile. “Wow! I can’t believe it… it’s TRUE! The man does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work!

Acting legend (传奇) Elizabeth Taylor has passed away. She leaves behind her own life-long movie of ups and downs, marriage and divorce, and sickness and recovery. The world of entertainment is mourning (悼念) the death of the last classic movie star.

Taylor died of a kind of heart disease in Los Angeles at the age of 79.

Taylor acted in more than 50 movies, including the children’s classic “National Velvet”, Oscar-winning ones “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “Butterfield 8”.

Fans gathered on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame to pay tribute (敬意) to the actress. They placed tributes on their star and recalled about highlights of her career.

Sandra, Hollywood, California, said, “Well, she just led an amazing life, and she went out with style.”

“Is this something that we can bear? No. The AIDS crisis (危机) is not over.” Taylor once said.

Taylor’s private life is also a legend. She was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 16, a superstar at 19 and a widow at 26. She has married 8 times.

When Johnson called again, the manager received him very politely. “That is a most wonderful oil you brought us, Mr Johnson,” he said.

Johnson nodded his smooth, dark head. That was something he knew very well. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” the manager admitted (承认).

Johnson nodded again. “No?” he said politely. Then he added, “But I think you will, sir. A very great deal of it.” He appeared to think for a moment. “I think you will find it will be on sale seven, perhaps, eight years from now.” He smiled.

The manager thought that was uncertain. He said, “It is better than our fish oils. I admit that.” “So I am told, sir,” agreed Johnson.

“Have you any plans to produce it yourself, Mr Johnson?” “Would I be showing it to you if I had?” Johnson smiled again.

“We might add some chemicals to one of our own fish oils,” said the manager.

“It would be expensive to do that, even if you could,” Johnson said gently. “Moreover,” he added, “I am told that this oil will be much cheaper than your best fish oils. Cheaper than any vegetable oil, in fact.”

“Perhaps,” said the manager. “Well, I suppose you want to make an arrangement, Mr Johnson. Shall we discuss it?”

“Of course,” said Johnson. “There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort. The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay (推迟) it as long as possible. That is, of

course, the best way.”

The manager nodded. He knew plenty about all that.

“But I am so sorry for you, because, you see, that is not possible this time.” The manager had his doubts, but all he said was an inquiring (asking) “Oh?” “The other way,” continued Johnson, “is to produce yourself before the trouble starts.” 10.

六、阅读表达 (共3小题；1题1分、2题2分、3题3分，满分6分)

阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡上标有题号的横线上。

Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them some punishments, which aren’t included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule — what the punishment will be.

Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat (暴力或威胁). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.

It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better result. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you sad, they will feel sorry. When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will obey rules better.

Rules are made to help your kids behave better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure, are they helpful? 1. Whom is the article written for?

____________________________________________________________________ 2. How does the writer like family rules and punishments?

____________________________________________________________________ 3. Do you think it’s a good way to set family rules for kids? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________
