He was in a hurry as he wanted to be the first to wish people a happy New Year. He ran into the street repeating them to everyone he met. When he came back his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. He smiled as he took them. He had wanted for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family. The father, mother and three children were shivering(颤抖) with cold. “I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he happily passed by.

They said, “We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you in our prayers(祈祷).” When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. Edward hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.“I have bought no books,” he said. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry and in trouble.

Is it ____50____ that my dog knew the earthquake was going to happen? Janet Sam’s reply:Well, Janet, people have believed for many centuries that animals can predict earthquakes. In fact, we can look ____51____ to what we know from the ancient Greeks. They noticed that animals acted strangely in the hours before earthquakes. Even now, people talk about dogs that won’t stop barking and cats that won’t come out of hiding before an earthquake. Furthermore, strange behavior like this before earthquakes isn’t limited to pets. People have also reported seeing chickens laying no eggs, bees leaving their homes, and big groups of fish ____52____ and floating here and there in the hours before a natural disaster hits. It’s hard to answer your question, since not all seismologists(地震学家) or animal experts agree that animals can predict earthquakes. Those that disagree say that we should think of other things that ____53____ animal behavior, such as hunger. On the other hand, many people who believe that animals can predict earthquakes often have ____54____ of very strange animal behavior right before the ground shakes. To them, this is evidence that animals can certainly predict earthquakes. In short, the truth is that we aren’t sure. Animals might be able to sense earthquakes before they happen, but there is no solid evidence that they can. However, one thing that most seismologists can agree on is that more research is needed. Animals may be the ____55____ to predicting earthquakes before they happen, and could help save many lives. 50. A. foolishB. possibleC. delightedD. generous51. A. backB. forwardC. afterD. like52.

However, men settle(固定) on their favourite hairstyle after trying only 5 different cuts. The study of 2,000 women has found that women visit the hairdresser five times a year on average, and about 100 like to try something different with each trip to the hairdresser. Almost half are willing to be experimental and change their hairstyle. Women are likely to go for two new styles and at least one colour change every year between the ages of 15 and 65. The study found that 64 percent of women will change their hair simply because they are bored with their current style. Nearly 12 percent will change their hair so as to look like a celebrity(名人) while 15 percent will change their style for a wedding. 13 percent of women would change their hairstyle after having a baby. Other reasons for trying a new hairstyle were birthdays. However, men are not as troublesome as women. They only try five different hairstyles and then stick to their favourite one in their lifetime. Men usually stick with just one style because of its being convenient (68 percent) or being liked by their partner (10 percent). The study of 2,000 men also noticed how celebrity hairstyles(名人发型) have the influence on them and what kind of haircuts would be more fashionable in their eyes. 400 of them admit they want to grow their hair longer to copy the likes of David Beckham and actor Brad Pitt, while 240 consider dying(染色) their hair grey, to keep up with fashion trends(潮流). Actually, a hairstyle that stands for one’s personality is the first choice for men.63.
