Once you’ve tasted the joy and freedom of an all-access backstage pass, sitting in the balcony（樓廳） far from the stage has little attraction. In March of 2008, I had the opportunity to tour with a band. The experience was eye-opening.
I hadn’t realized how many misconceptions I had about the lifestyle of a world-class musician. Such a life is not as great as it appears. In fact, some aspects are extremely tedious. Hours and hours are spent waiting. The musicians wait for their transportation; they wait for the sound check; they wait to perform. After the show, they wait for the crowds of fans to go away.
When the musicians are not waiting, they are traveling. Sometimes the travel itself can seem attractive and exciting, with the limousines（豪華轎車） and the first-class seats on the plane. However, even these luxuries cannot make up for long, boring hours on the road or in the air. Basic needs are all but ignored. Late-night shows and early wake-up calls make them know the preciousness of sleep. The demanding travel itineraries（行程） and show schedules make regular meals impossible.
In spite of the sacrifices, life on tour has its advantage, at least for the talent. A support team generally travels with the band, with at least one person dedicated to meeting the musicians’ needs at all times. The musicians are expected to perform at the shows, but they are not expected to manage any detail of their lives. When I was with the band, I poured glasses of grapefruit juice, made sandwiches, prepared dressing rooms, and performed all kinds of routine work, such as buying toothpaste and getting money from the ATM. In addition, efforts are made by promoters to keep the musicians happy. Most places offer private dressing rooms for the musicians. There is also usually a green room, a room that is large with comfortable furnishings where the band can visit with friends and family while waiting to go on stage. Before the band goes on, their families and friends file out into the auditorium and find their seats. The house lights go dark and curtain rises. When the lights flash on and the band starts playing, the scene is magical. A behind-the-scenes view makes the experience even more spectacular.
小題1:The underlined world in paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A．excitingB．boringC．reasonableD．ridiculous
小題2:We can infer from the third paragraph that _____.
A．good arrangements always make the trips comfortable and pleasant
B．most musicians would rather travel long distance than wait
C．most musicians ignore their basic needs because the travel is too luxurious
D．the lack of sleep and irregular meals seem to be a part of the life of musicians
小題3:Which might be the best title for the passage?
A．Behind the Scene.B．Hard Life of Musicians.
C．My Part-time Job.D．How to Make Musicians Happy.

Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones of cows mooing, goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract leopards that have wandered into human settlements, officials said on Monday.
The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people. But rather than use methods such as live bait(誘惑物) like goats tied to trees to lure the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.
“The moos of a cow, bleating of a goat from the phone has proved effective to trap leopards,” said D. Vasani, a senior forest official in Gujarat. “This trick works.” Vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage. They then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal.
At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages since the new ringtone method was introduced three months ago. The cats have all been released back into forest areas.
Wildlife activists welcomed the new initiative saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured.
小題1:What can be the best title of the passage?
A．Cell Phones to Hunt Animals
B．Practical Uses of Cell Phones
C．Wildlife and New Technology
D．Phone Ringtones to Catch Leopards
小題2:Forest guards in India try to catch leopards mainly because ______.
A．leopards attack villagers
B．they want leopard fur
C．leopards attack animals
D．they have new ringtones
小題3:What will be needed to trap the leopards using the new method?
① cell phones   ②animals    ③ sounds of animals   ④ cages    ⑤large pits
A．①②③④B．①③④C．①④⑤D．②③⑤

We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack(行李架), I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 pounds poorer, and the cupboard was tied onto the roof rack. It was six inches long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?”
In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help?”
I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”
He was staring at our car: first at the flowers, and then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was, something else.”
My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
小題1:It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A．other drivers let the couple go first, because the husband did not drive fast
B．the cupboard cost less than 20 pounds
C．the husband, in fact, would rather not buy the cupboard
D．a(chǎn)ll the cars followed the couple’s
小題2:The police will be more polite to those who are______.
A．in great sorrowB．driving in the gathering darkness
C．driving with wild flowers in the carD．carrying furniture
小題3:What did the police officer think of the cupboard?
A．It was so expensive that it needed their help
B．It was a box for a dead person to be buried in.
C．There might be something stolen in it.
D．It was a big box with some bomb in it.
小題4:What did the husband think of the whole matter?
A．It was very strange.B．He took great pride in it.
