It was raining. I went into a café and asked for a coffee.   1   I was waiting for my drink, I realized that there were other people in the place, but I sensed   2  . I saw their bodies, but I couldn't feel their souls   3   their souls belonged to the   4  .

I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man   5   in front of it. "I'm Steve", he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. "I can't talk with you. I'm   6  ", he said. He was chatting online and,   7  , he was playing a computer game—a war game. I was   8  .

Why didn't Steve want to talk with me? I tried   9   to speak to that computer geek (怪人),  10   not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction (反應(yīng)). I was   11  . I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, "  12  !"

I was worried and I sank in my thoughts. I didn't even   19   that the coffee was bad,   20  Steve didn't notice there was a person next to him.

  We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight.

Last year I worked in Nepalfor three months. When I had a few days off, I decided to go into the jungle(叢林). I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.

We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our things. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find tigers. We climbed onto the elephants’ backs to see better. However, it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime.

Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tiger’s lunch! Suddenly, I started to feel very frightened.

Then the tiger jumped out suddenly, about five hundred kilos and four meters long. It caught Kamal’s leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly ran away to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

     Question:What is more astonishing than a 60-ton whale on a
flatbed truck being driven down the street?
     Answer:A 60-ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and rai-
ning blubber( fat of whales) all over the sidewalk.
    That's what happened in Taiwan recently,when a dead sperm
whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy
(尸體解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up
before it reached its destination.
     The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend,
and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was
the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan's shores,scientists wanted
to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose.
      Obviously,too much time passed between when the animal died
and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location,because
it had already started to go bad. When things rot,they give off gases
as a by-product. In the whale's case,the gases were trapped in its
belly. The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it
popped like an over-filled balloon. Unfortunately,it was on a truck in
the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time ;cars and shops lining the
street were covered with whale bits and juices,much to their owners'
discouragement.
      According to news reports,traffic was tied up for hours while of
ficials tried to clean up the streets.
     Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to them-
selves,since they had a ready-made headline; several reports about
the incident were titled " There  She  Blows ! " after the famous line
from the book Moby Dick.
1. The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report  is to ___.
A. explain the reason
B. sell newspapers
C. attract readers
D. give an immediate answer
2. The whale's explosion was the result of___．     
A. pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to rot
B. the long transport of the creature from the beach to the centre
C. the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed by
D. the quick process of rotting of the animal
3. What is the correct order of the incidents?
        a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck.
        b. The whale was discovered.
        c. The whale exploded.
        d. The whale died.   
A. b;c;a;d                        
B. d;c;b;a
C. b;d;a;c                        
D. d;b;a;c
4. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. Some newspaper editors were laughed at.
B. Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer.
C. All the newspapers reported the story under the same title.
D. The title" There She Blows ! " is taken from the book MobyDick.
