Daniel Hale Williams became a doctor in Chicago in 1883. After graduation, he taught at Northwestern University’s medical school. He was asked by the President of the USA, Grover Cleveland, to go to Washington D.C. to head the Freedmen’s Hospital. It was one of the few hospitals for blacks in the country.

He went back to Chicago to help set up Provident Hospital. Before it opened, Chicago’s black doctors could not practice in hospitals. They had to treat patients at home. So operations were performed on dining tables. Dr. Williams also helped set up a training school for black nurses.

In 1893 he operated on a man who was dying from a stab(刺) wound in the heart. Such a wound had always meant death. But Dr. Williams tried to save the man. Without X rays or blood transfusions(输血)，he opened the man’s chest and sewed up his heart. The operation succeeded. The man lived.

LONDON (Reuters) –Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.

―Organic produce is always better, " Gold said. ―The food is free of pesticides(农药)，and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally(本地) grown and seasonal, so it is more t asty.‖ Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences –but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口) to meet growing demand. ―The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-gro wing market ,‖ said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

46. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because .

A. they are getting richer

B. they can get the food anywhere

C. they consider the food free of pollution

D. they like home-grown fruit

47. Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain?

A. It grows indoors all year round

B. it is produced outside Britain

C. It is grown on family farms

D. It is produced on large farms

48. What is the meaning of ―the organic tread‖ as the words are used in the text?

A. growing interest in organic food

B. better quality of organic food

C. rising market for organic food

D. higher prices of organic food

49. What is the best title for this news story?

A. Organic food- healthy, or just for the wealthy?

B. The making of organic food in Britain

C. Organic food- to import or not?

D. Good qualities of organic food

On the first day of class, Mr Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.

When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else’s in our class. What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer.

Very simple, Mr Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?

Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?

We should have guessed it out, Mr Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.

53. We failed in the test because we didn’t .

A. take notes while listening

B. show interest in what Mr.Whiteson said

C. listen to the teacher carefully

D. think carefully

54. We got angry because .

A. Mr Whiteson didn’t tell us the truth about cattytiger

B. we failed in the test

C. we didn’t know why he played the joke on us

D. there was no cattytiger

55. Mr Whiteson gave us a special lesson .

A. to show his special way of teaching

B. to play a joke on us

C. to help us learn our lessons better

D. so that we would no longer believe him

56. Mr Whiteson meant that .

A. teachers couldn’t make any mistakes

B. textbooks might be wrong sometimes

C. we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong

D. we shouldn’t believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents (文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.

It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers , although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organisation.

Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.

Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. " I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling " said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

57. The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ________.

A. the rapid development of small businesses

B. the opening up of new markets

C. the printing of high quality copies

D. the increased use of the Internet

58. Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ________.

A. to encourage printing more quality documents

B. to develop new printers using recycled paper

C. to find new materials for making paper

D. to plant more fast-growing trees

59. Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because _______.

A. people are concerned about the environment

B. printers in many offices are working overtime

C. small companies need more hard copies

D. they see a growing market for printers

60. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Computers and Printers

B. E-mail and the Business World

C. Internet Revolution and Environment

D. Modern Technology and New Markets
