Accidents happen, but when they destroy the
delicate balance of nature and cause the whole world to suffer, they become
disasters, and we  should do all we can to prevent them from happening
again.



Bhopal chemical leak, December 1984,
Bhopal, India



An explosion in the Union Carbide chemical
plant in Bhopal, India, released a deadly gas called methyl (甲基) isocyanate(異氰鹽酸), which is used to make
pesticides. The gas formed a cloud that killed 2500 people; another 50000-
100000 people became ill. Trees and plants in the area became yellow and
brittle. The explosion was caused by a mechanical failure that was not noticed
in time to stop it.



Exxon Valdez oil spill, March 1989, Alaska,
U.S.



On March 24, 1989, 11 million gallons of
crude oil spilled into Prince William Sound from the tanker Exxon Valdez when
its hull hit a reef and tore open. The oil, which is not yet cleaned up after
billions of dollars have been spent and the millions of birds, fish, and other
wildlife have died, was caused by human error and could have been avoided.



Chernobyl, April 1986, USSR



At 1:23 A.M. on Saturday, April 26, 1986,
the reactor blew at nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, ripping open the core,
blowing the roof off the building, starting more than 30 fires, and allowing
radioactive material to leak into the air. Some 31 people were killed and 200
people were treated for radiation poisoning. Still at risk are 135000 people
from the 179 villages within 20 miles, of the plant who were exposed to the
radiation before being evacuated. Glaring violations of safety rules were at
the bottom of this tragic event.



Love Canal, 1953, New York, U.S.



Love Canal, a small town in upstate New
York near Niagara Falls, was destroyed by waste from chemical plants. Beginning
in 1947, chemical companies could legally dump their waste products into the
canal. The area developed a foul smell, trees lost their bark, and leaves fell
throughout the year. A health survey found that the drinking water contained
excessive levels of 82 industrial chemicals, 7 of which were thought to cause
cancer. The people of Love Canal had an unusually high rate of cancer and birth
defects. Eventually, many of the houses had to be abandoned. Today, the town
has been partly cleaned up and some families have moved back to the area.



Three Mile Island, 1979, Pennsylvania, U.S.



On March 28, 1979, the worst accident in
U.S. nuclear reactor history occurred at the Three Mile Island power station,
near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. No one was killed, and very little radioactivity
was released into the air when coolant (the fluid that keeps a machine cool)
escaped from the reactor core due to a combination of mechanical failure and
human error. After 10 years and $ 1 billion in cleanup costs, the lower
extremes of the reactor are still so radioactive that workers must use remote -
control equipment to remove the remaining fragment of fuel core.

Comera is the only place in the world which
has a whistle language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not
know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the
reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys
on the island. A person on one side of valley can not easily shout to a person
on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard from four miles away, and
the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good
teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so
that they can hear other whistlers.



We can understand why the whistle language
continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When
somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If
the sick person is a long way from the town, boys and men pass the news from
one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing
from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly
to the doctor in town. People help each other in the same way when a car breaks
or a cow is lost.



The whistle language is hundreds of years
old, and probably it will continue to live for hundreds of years more. Radio
and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a
country. But on Comera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after
TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other
facts and opinions.



49. If a person on Comera island is
ill,      .



  A. others will phone the doctor in
town



  B. whistle language will pass the
news to the doctor



  C. his family will take him to the
doctor



  D. people will take him to the
hospital



50. From the passage we know radio and
TV       at that time.



  A. killed the special way of
speaking



  B. whistled all the news and
opinions



  C. helped Comera people to
communicate



  D. did not appear on Comera island
yet



51. Comera island is special in that     
.



  A. it attracts visitors every year



  B. no visitors have ever been there



  C. people there have special ears to
hear whistles



  D. people there use the whistle
language to communicate with each other



52. Which of the following is not true according
to the passage?



  A. It is not easy for a person to
live on Comera island if he cannot whistle.



  B. The whistle language can only be
found in Comera.



  C. The whistle language has been
used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.



D. The record shows that one best whistler
can be heard by others seven miles away.

There was one shop in the town of Mufulira
which was widely known for its racial discrimination. It was a drugstore .While
Europeans were served at the counter ,a long line of Africans queued at the
window and often not only were kept waiting but were treated rudely by the shop
assistants .One day I was determined to make a public protest （抗議）against this kind of thing
,and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store.



I simply went into the shop and asked the
manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he saw me standing in the place
where only European customers were allowed to stand ,he shouted at me in a
bastard （怪聲怪氣的）language
which is only used by a boss when speaking to his servants .I stood at the
counter and politely requested in proper English that I should be served .The
manager became angry and said , “Even if you stand till Christmas ,I will never
serve you .”



I went to the District Commissioner’s
office .Fortunately ,he was out ,for he was one of the old school;
however ,I saw a young District Officer who was a friend of mine .He was very
concerned to hear my story and told me that all I had to do was come to him
personally and he would buy my medicine for me .I protested that that was not
good enough .I asked him to accompany me back to the store and to make a
protest to the manager .This he did ,and I well remember him saying to the
manager , “Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the Urban Advisory
Council, and you treat him like a common servant .” The manager of the
drugstore apologized and said , “If only he had introduced himself and
explained who he was ,then ,of course ,I should have given him proper service.”



I had to explain once again that he had missed
my point .Why should I have to introduce myself every time I went into a
store…any more than I should have to buy my medicine by going to a European
friend ? I want to prove that any man of any color ,whatever his position
,should have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wanted .After all,
the money which I paid across the counter was exactly the same money as was
paid by a European customer.



1.The writer was ,at the time of the story
,     .




 

  
  
A．a(chǎn) European officer

  		
  
  
B．a(chǎn)n African servant

  		
 

 

  
  
C．a(chǎn) drugstore assistant

  		
  
  
D．a(chǎn) black school teacher

  		
 





2.The manager of the drugstore shouted at
the writer in dirty words because     .




 

  
  
A．he could not speak English in a polite way

  		
 

 

  
  
B．he thought the writer couldn’t understand English

  		
 

 

  
  
C．that was the language he used when speaking to Africans

  		
 

 

  
  
D．that was the only language he could speak when he was angry

  		
 





3.In paragraph 3, the underlined sentence “he
was one of the old school” means     .



A．he stuck to those old racial ideas



B．he graduated from an old white school



C．he was in charge of an old black school



4.Why didn’t the writer wait at the window
of the drugstore like other Africans?




 

  
  
A．He believed his white friends would help him out .

  		
 

 

  
  
B．He wanted to fight for equal rights of all black people.

  		
 

 

  
  
C．He thought he was educated and should be treated differently.

  		
 

 

  
  
D．He thought ,being an important person ,he should not be kept
  waiting.

When Charles Strattion was five, he stopped
growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P.T.Barnum, and thought
a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’
parents along with him, and they traveled around the world together.



He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a new
name, general Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes.
When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up
great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from
England. 



During the show, Tom fought battles
pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a
person who was eight feet tall.



Tom’s act was very popular and brought in a
lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had
become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five.



Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more
little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the
little people was Lavinia Warren, a school teacher. Tom was able to win her
love, and they married.



The ceremony and reception were the talk of
the town. They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about two
thousand guests. Crowds filled the streets of New York to have a look at their
tiny wedding carriage. The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on
their honeymoon, just before going to live in Tom’s house in Connecticut.



Their wedding, which took place during the
