17．Mrs．Packletide intended to shoot a tiger．Not that the desire to kill had suddenly come to her，or that she felt she would leave India safer with one wild beast less．It was because Loona Bimberton had recently taken a plane to the forest and killed a tiger，and the newspapers showed photographs of Loona Bimberton with a tiger-skin on．In a world supposed to be moved by hunger and by love，Mrs．Packletide's movements were largely governed by dislike of Loona Bimberton．
     Circumstances proved favorable．Mrs．Packletide had offered a thousand rupees （印度盧比） for the opportunity of shooting a tiger without risk or effort，and it happened that an old tiger was frequently coming to a neighboring village at night．He was so old that he couldn't kill animals in the wild and just satisfied his appetite to the smaller household animals．The villagers were eager to earn the thousand rupees； children were posted night and day in the jungle to watch the tiger，and the cheap goats were left about to keep him from going elsewhere．The one great fear was that he should die of old age before the day of Mrs．Packletide's shoot．
    The great night arrived．A platform had been built in a tree，on which sat Mrs．Packletide and her paid companion，Miss Mebbin．A goat with a loud bleat （咩咩叫） was tied down at the correct distance．With an accurate gun，they waited for the coming of the tiger．
"I suppose we are in some danger？"said Miss Mebbin．
    She was not actually nervous about the wild beast，but she was unwilling to perform a bit more service than she had been paid for．
"It's a very old tiger．It couldn't spring up here even if it wanted to．"said Mrs．Packletide．
    Their conversation was cut short by the appearance of the old tiger．He saw the goat，and lay on the earth for a short rest before attacking．
      The gun fired very loudly，and the great yellow beast jumped to one side and then rolled over in the stillness of death．In a moment a crowd of excited villagers appeared on the scene，and their shouting carried the glad news to the village．
    It was Miss Mebbin who found that the goat was dying from a bullet-wound，while no wound could be found on the tiger．Evidently the wrong animal had been hit，and the tiger had died of heart-failure，caused by the sudden loud noise of the gun．Mrs．Packletide was annoyed at the discovery； but anyway，she owned a dead tiger，and the villagers，anxious for their thous and rupees，gladly accepted the fiction that she had shot the tiger．And Miss Mebbin was a paid companion．Therefore Mrs．Packletide faced the cameras with a light heart，and her pictures appeared on the newspapers of England and America．As for Loona Bimberton，she refused to look at a newspaper for weeks，and was in a depressed emotion for quite some time．
    Mrs．Packletide's tiger-skin was inspected and admired by the neighbors，and Mrs．Packletide went to the Costume Ball in the character of Diana （狩獵女神）．
"How amused everyone would be if they knew what really happened，"said Miss Mebbin a few days after the ball．
"What do you mean？"asked Mrs．Packletide quickly．
"How you shot the goat and frightened the tiger to death，"said Miss Mebbin，with her unpleasant laugh．
"No one would believe it，"said Mrs．Packletide，her face changing color rapidly．
"Loona Bimberton would，"said Miss Mebbin．
    Mrs．Packletide's face settled on greenish white．"You surely wouldn't give me away？"she asked．
"I've seen a weekend cottage near Dorking，"said Miss Mebbin，"six hundred and eighty．Quite a bargain，only I don't happen to have the money．"
    Miss Mebbin possessed the pretty weekend cottage．Mrs．Packletide lost interest in animal-hunting．
"The extra expenses are so heavy，"she said to inquiring friends．
62．Mrs．Packletide planned to shoot a tiger because sheD．
A．would leave India safer                  
B．hated the wild animal
C．a(chǎn)dmired her good friend                  
D．disliked a certain person
63．What did Mrs．Packletide want the villagers to arrange for her？D
A．A platform in a tree．
B．A paid companion．
C．An accurate gun．
D．A safe shooting．
64．What was the result of Mrs．Packletide's shooting？C
A．The old tiger was shot to death．
B．Neither the tiger nor the goat was shot．
C．The old tiger missed being shot．
D．Both the goat and the tiger were shot．
65．What is the message conveyed in the story？D
A．Life is hard for one to predict．
B．Everything comes for a reason．
C．It's unwise to keep bad company．
D．False pride costs more than expected．

15．Jolly Joe always arrived at my neighborhood at exactly half past noon．The clang（叮當(dāng)聲） of the bell on his red and black truck was then the sweetest sound in the world．Brightly colored stickers advertising his amazing kinds of treats could be found on all sides of his truck．The whole neighborhood would magically come to life．
Holding a nickel（五分鎳幣），I'd run to the back of the vehicle，where children were already gathering．Jolly Joe．would jump out of his truck，the sun shining on his chair．He was an older man，short and round，with a pleasant face and a welcoming smile．
I don't know how，but he knew us all，by name，as well as which treats we preferred：My favorite was the Buried treasure．By eating all the ice cream，you'd discover the treasure inside：a lion，a dog or even a funny clown一printed onto a plastic stick．．
When it was finally my turn，he'd put his arm deep inside one of the boxes，and pause（停頓）for a moment，a moment，a puzzled look crossing his face．Then，suddenly，he'd pull it out：the Buried Treasure!I couldn't wait to enjoy the cool，sweet ice cream．
As quickly as he arrived，it was time for Jolly Joe to go，leaving behind laughing，excited children with sticky hands and faces．Soon the sound of his clanging bell would slowly disappear in the distance．
I always hated to see Jolly Joe go，because I knew the rest of the day would be as hot and boring as before．But I took some comfort in knowing that the next day he'd come round the corner at half past noon and once again spread his magic．

11．A study of 27，000men showed those skipping （不吃） breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems．The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist （抵制） sugary snacks before lunch．
The men，aged 45-82，were studied for 16years．During that time there were more than 1，500heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure．However，people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal．The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors （因素） such as smoking and exercise．
Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC："The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up，preferably within an hour．The results show that something is better than nothing，but it's always better to have something healthy and balanced．"
She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than"having breakfast"may be straining （損傷） the body over time．This could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure and fatness which could in turn damage the heart．"Don't skip breakfast，"Dr Cahill suggested．
Victoria Taylor，an expert with the British Heart Foundation，said："These researchers only looked at men aged over 45，so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people．What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less templing，as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet．Cereals （谷類食品） with low fat milk are a good way to start the day．Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you'll be on your way to a fine day before you've even left the house．"

52．What does the text mainly deal with？D
A．The effects of snacks on the health of the heart．
B．An interview by the BBC on people's lifestyles．
C．What a healthy and balanced diet should contain．
D．The relationship between breakfast and a healthy heart．
53．Dr Leah Cahill's suggestion is that we shouldD．
A．fix the time for each meal we eat in a day
B．make sure our breakfast is always balanced
C．eat our breakfast immediately after getting up
D．have breakfast within an hour after waking up
54．The underlined word"tempting"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to"A"．
A．a(chǎn)ttractive         B．valuable           C．obvious           D．familiar
55．According to Victoria Taylor，D．
A．men over 45are more likely to get heart diseases
B．fresh fruits like bananas are necessary for a healthy breakfast
C．it's healthy to eat some biscuit between breakfast and lunch
D．the researchers should have covered other age groups in their study．
