The man from the west stopped and drew back his arm. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said in a quick and angry way, “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman to pug.”“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man, “you’ve been under arrest for ten minutes. Silky Bob. Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and phones us she wants to have a word with you. Going quietly, are you? That’s sensible. Now before we go to the station, here’s a note I was asked to hand you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from Patrolman Wells.?”The man from the West opened the little piece of paper handed him. His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he finished. The note was rather short. Bob: I was at the right place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face wanted in Chicago. Somehow I couldn’t do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man (便衣) to do the job.

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.
Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs (郊區(qū)), leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it has been worthy of. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”
Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”
【小題1】What do the first two paragraphs tell us?

A.People seldom work long hours to make money.
B.People hardly buy more things than necessary.
C.People are sure everything they own is in the right place.
D.People realize there is more to life than just making money.
【小題2】 When Daniel was a reporter he _____.
A.lived in central London B.disliked his job
C.missed his childrenD.was well paid
【小題3】 Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm _____.
A.was easy to organizeB.has improved family life
C.was extremely expensiveD.has been a total success
【小題4】 What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Child-caring.B.Liz’s advice.C.Downshifting.D.Liz’s job.

It seems that every week someone becomes “the first” or “the youngest” or even “the first married couple” to do something that doesn’t seem to be very useful to the rest of us.
Why do they do it? Don’t they have better things to do with their time and money? And why should I be interested anyway? Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn’t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there’s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the ocean is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before.
In May of this year a British man became the first person to walk alone from Canada to the North Pole. Personally, if I wanted to visit the Arctic, I’d rather go as a tourist on a cruise ship, with a helicopter trip to the North Pole included in the price. But OK, this man decided that he wanted to walk. The problem was that he went in the spring when the ice begins to melt and break up. So he got stuck on a longely piece of ice and a plane had to be sent in to rescue him.
These sorts of rescues are making many Australians angry with these record breakers. People trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas. So the Australian navy has to send ships to save them and this costs the government millions of dollars. I suppose we can’t just leave them to drown but we should give the bill to the people who are rescued.
【小題1】According to the author, the so-called record breakers          .

A.do not benefit other people at all
B.inspire people to continue exploring
C.a(chǎn)re boring and should be stopped
D.a(chǎn)re usually not wealthy enough
【小題2】We can infer from the second paragraph that          .
A.there are no high mountains for people to climb
B.nothing is left for people to explore in the universe
C.it’s beyond ordinary people to explore the unknown
D.human beings could fly around the world long ago
【小題3】Many Australians are angry because the record breakers        .
A.often get into trouble
B.never use a cruise ship or a helicopter
C.never pay their own costs
D.satisfy their needs at the cost of others’ interest
【小題4】What is the writer’s attitude towards the record breakers?
A.Positive.B.Negative.
C.Uninterested.D.Neutral(中立的).
