24、 American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which had become one of London’s main tourist attractions.

  Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames (泰晤士河) and sent to hospital at once. Doctors said he had to eat food slowly, or he would risk losing his life. He had been drinking only water since September 5.

Blaine was brought up by his grandparents in Brooklyn, New York since he was born. He first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.

  Over the last ten years Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.

  In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on the top of a 25-meter pillar (柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.

“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”

  But he seemed to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that sometimes he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.

26、I hid the longest black bag in the garage(车库) two days ago. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.

It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.

First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 p.m. was not early. As usual, I read them a bedtime story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.

Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I carried the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.

It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw(锯).

After working hard, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 a.m. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas brought them this year.

【1】Why did the man feel nervous?

A. He left the party too late.

B. He was afraid of the darkness.

C. He didn’t know where the black bag was.

D. He worried that others would discover his secret.

【2】In what order did the man do the following?

a. Read the kids a story.

b. Had a shower.

c. Worked in the moon night.

d. Carried the bag out from the garage.

e. Went to a party.

A. c-d-a-b-c  B. e-a-d-c-b

C. a-b-d-e-c  D. a-e-d-c-b

【3】How would the children feel when they saw the man’s work?

A. Sad B. Excited  C. Tired D. Angry

27、Ms. Hagen had asked that every student entered the science fair this year. Kyle and Seth were divided into a group, much to Kyle’s upset. Everyone knew that Seth was the laziest kid in the class. He never finished his homework, and he was always talking rather than listening in class. The boys decided to meet at Kyle’s house after school to plan their project.

Seth arrived with a backpack that was filled with test tubes, magnets (磁铁), and other needed materials. Kyle was surprised. Why would this lazy kid have such cool things? At first, when Kyle suggested building a model of the solar system (太阳系), Seth told me all kinds of facts about each model planet quickly. Maybe Kyle had been mistaken about Seth.

But finally, the boys agreed to experiment to find the best place to store bananas. The boys met each day after school and believed that their project would be the best. Kyle worked on writing the report, while Seth continued to question and study further. They found they made a quite strong team.

Ms. Hagen told Kyle that she was proud of him for helping Seth with the project. Kyle had to explain that Seth was responsible for much of the work. He went on to ask if Seth could be his partner for next month’s math project.

【1】What project did they decide to do in the end?

A．Build a model of the solar system.

B．Find the best place to store bananas.

C．Find out the use of tubes and magnets.

D．Learn some facts about each model planet.

【2】What can we learn from this passage?

A．No pain, no gain.

B．Seeing is believing.

C．Practice makes perfect.

D．Actions speak louder than words.

【3】How did Kyle’s feelings change in the story?

A．Upset—surprised—happy

B．Upset—scared—sad

C．Scared—surprised—happy

D．Scared—admired—happy

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story       their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a good children’s book. Either the author has aimed too       , so that children can’t follow what is in his ( or more often, her ) story, ________ the story seems to be talking to the readers.
