5、The writers of murder stories go to a great deal of trouble to keep up guessing right up to the end. In actual fact, people often behave more strangely in real life than they do in stories.
The following advertisement once appeared in a local newspaper: “An opportunity to earn $ 250 in a few minutes. A man… willing to chances, wanted for an out-of-the-ordinary job which can be performed only once. ”A reader found this offer very nice and write to the advertiser. But being a bit suspicious(懷疑), he gave a false name. Soon afterwards, he received a reply. Enclosed in the envelope was a typed note instructing him to ring a certain number if he was still interested. He did so and learned on the telephone that the advertiser wanted him “to get rid of somebody” and would discuss it more fully with him the next day. But the man told the police and from then on acted under their instructions.
The police saw the two men meet and watched them as they drove away together. In the car the advertiser came to the point at once; he told the man he wanted him to shoot his wife. The reason he gave was that he was suffering from a serious disease and wanted to live in a warmer country, but his wife objected to this. Giving the man some money, the advertiser told him to buy a gun and warned him to be careful of the dog, though it would not bite, it might attract attention. He also gave him a photograph of his wife so that he would be able to recognize her.
After that, the advertiser suggested that the man should “do the job” the next morning. At the same time he would prepare his wife by telling her that a young man was going to call. After the murder they would meet again outside a railway station and the money would be paid as arranged. The second meeting never took place, for the advertiser was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with attempting to persuade someone to murder his wife.

4、We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard(柜廚)outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was £20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help?”
I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”
He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”
My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
53. In fact the husband _______ the cupboard.
A. would like very much to buy B. badly wanted
C. was glad to have bought D. would rather not buy
54. Other drivers didn’t overtake the couple’s car because _______.

C. their cars couldn’t run fast D. the couple were very important people
55. The police thought they were _______.
A. carrying a cupboard to the church B. sending flowers to the church
C. carrying nothing but a piece of furniture D. going to attend a funeral at the church
56. What did the husband think of this matter?

2、Career building is an ongoing activity. Planning and goal setting are part of career building, but so is adjusting and taking advantage of things that happen in an unplanned way. Our dreams and desires, as well as the opportunities open to us, are changing all the time. Sometimes, they can change dramatically over a short period of time.
Dealing with change often requires taking your career in a different direction. Therefore, most people’s career paths wind up looking more like a forest path or the course of a river than a straight flight path from point A to Point B. Career paths tend to meander. Just as a river must take an indirect path to get round hills and other obstacles(障礙), we often have to do a little meandering to get round barries. We also meander simply to explore various career posibilities.
This doesn’t mean that you should wander aimlessly for the rest of your life! It doesn’t mean that, although career building gives you an overall sense of direction, it is responsible to expect that you’ll have to take some meandering along the way.
Career building involves maneuvering as well as meandering. To maneuver is to be focused and strategic(策略的), to decide what you want and how you are going to get there. Believe it or not, you can maneuver and meander at the same time. In fact, you have probably already done so. For example, if you have ever sent in an application form for an education program or job before you are really sure you want your application to be accepted, you have taken action on a plan while you are still exploring other posibilities. In other words, you are maneuvering and meandering at the same time.
45. This passage is mainly to ______________.
A. tell you how to gain more control over your life
B. give you a better understanding of yourself
C. show you how to take an active role in planning your career
D. help you to deal with things that happen in an unplanned way
46. The underlined word “meaander” in paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
A. move away B. go round C. get through D. run over
47. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There are seldom straight lines in the course of career building.
B. Career path is like a flight path from point A to point B.
C. Most of our dreams and desires change in a short time.
D. More than half of us have to change our career directions.
48. When you are hunting for a job, you are supposed to _________.
A. take your career in different directions
B. avoid exploring various career posibilities
C. change your dreams and desires now and then
D. know your goal and try all possible ways to achieve it
