Not many years ago,a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventyfive,he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children's playground.

As a result of his kindness,many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk,Johnson said that he was seventyfive and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventyfive. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. "I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening."he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky.

The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventyfive and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain,asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

Last Week was Road Safety Week at Trudy's school. All the students had to attend a talk on road safety which was given by a police officer. This is what the police officer said.

"Most traffic accidents should not happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too quickly. This means that when they have to stop suddenly,they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid hitting other vehicles or people. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalks. It's not only drivers who cause accidents,however. People on foot― pedestrians―and bicycle riders,often cause accidents,too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look in both directions before stepping into the street. Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly without warning other road users. Before you turn left,for example,you should look backwards to make sure there aren't any cars,trucks or buses coming. You should signal with your left hand to show that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear. The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey them,we whould not have accidents any more."

(   ) 11. The passage mainly tells us that .

   A. it's not only drivers who cause traffic accidents

   B. some quick drivers always cause traffic accidents

   A. walk along the sidewalks

   B. ride a bike before turning left

   C. step into the street

   D. drive a car quickly

The barks of dogs surrounded (圍繞) me as I walked into the animal shelter. They ran around their cages jumping up and down. My heart became soft when I saw these poor animals. I entered the building and saw more unwanted animals. A white rabbit jumped around in its cage. I walked around the cages,saying "oh" and "ah" to every animal,as they looked out of their cages,waiting for love and help. A little dog particularly attracted me. She was as gentle as a baby. I slightly touched her head as she sat on the floor. She licked (鉻) my hand with appreciation. I could feel that she longed for an owner who would take good care of her.

Another small group of little animals were in the cage in the corner. They stayed together to keep warm. One of them let out a weak sound,as if it was calling to its mother. Recognizing my love and willingness (樂意) to help these little animals,the director suggested I give them a bath. I lifted one of them,Yukie,from his brothers and sisters. His black fur was as soft as cotton candy. I held him carefully in my hands. The sweet smell of soap surrounded the wash area. The little dog looked like a tiny fish,swimming happily in a pool. Water dropped down his black soft ears as he tried to shake off the heavy water. I covered Yukie with a towel so he wouldn't get a cold. After all the cleaning and drying,he looked as if he came from an expensive pet shop. I kissed his little face as I unwillingly placed him back.

Next,I walked some dogs around the building. When I opened the cages,they jumped out quickly,unable to hold back their urge for exercise. I ran around with them,touched them gently and talked to them.

It was time to leave. I quietly said to these poor animals that I would come again and look after them with love. The sad eyes and the faces of these lovely animals made quite an impression on me.

Tom walked from shop to shop. Suddenly,he found a dime (—角硬幣) on the ground. He felt so excited. He hurried into the shop but the salesperson told him he could not buy anything with only a dime. He saw a flower shop and went in. When the shop owner asked if he could help him,Tom showed his dime and asked if he could buy one flower as his mother's Christmas gift.
