He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw
10、 at once that he could not go further. There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was ridi
11、ng towards him. “Theres a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.” The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thir
12、sty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately. Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jacks horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but
13、 its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was right. “Ive never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his history,” she sai
14、d. But she did say one thing: “If flame hadnt returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”1.

It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which w
18、ere available on ones own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villages or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impr
19、ession. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable. Our local grocers shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while d
20、oing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village stre
21、et in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some c
22、ommodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.6. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are _.A. still very active B. quickly decliningC. unable to flourish D. personal to visitors7. The local grocers shop is expanding because_. A. the co
23、mpetition there is weak B. it is a place for women to chat C. it provides good personal service D. the goods there are more valuable8. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets? A. Prices there are much higher. B. Customers often have to queue up. C. Customers can order by telephone. D.
24、Their personal services are satisfactory.9. How do the village grocers assistants feel about giving extra service? A. They dont think it a trouble. B. They dont think it worthwhile. C. They dont consider it a good deal. D. They dont consider it a pleasant experience.10. One special feature of the vi
25、llage shop is that _. A. there is a very wide range of goods available B. customers can order goods by word of mouth C. customers have to order goods one hour earlier D. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPassage Three Most Americans are very conscious of their health and try to ma
26、intain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health. Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products. Most have learned, however, that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can n
27、o longer be denied or ignored. The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective. However, most people dislike being warned that they shouldnt do something. It is a kind of psychological resistance. Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now
28、contain a warning on the package. The warning is simple, but the message is clear: smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the customer to the danger. On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad
29、 in a magazine must display warning. There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases. The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind. It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and
30、anyone who is operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol. Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal. Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an apparently harmless can of beer.11. Tobacc

A. make them look fashionable B. help them keep a nutritious diet C. make them conscious of their health D. show their healthy images to others12. In the case of smoking and drinking, most people_. A. ignore the campaigns against them B. are aware of the dangers they cause C. do not real
