1.Lane waited on the bench nearest the bridge, as he had been instructed. The wind blew straight across the river, sharp as a razor, and he had to pull his overcoat closer about him.
  He went over his instructions in his mind. The agent would appear at four o" clock. He would chat to Lane for a while, after which he would get up, leaving his newspaper behind. The plan would be fastened inside.
  A distant clock began to strike the hour. As if from nowhere, a man appeared and sat down be side Lane, placing his newspaper on the seat between them. He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meat. He bored no resemblance to Lane" s idea of a successful spy. His conversation, confined to trivial observations about the weather, was painfully uninteresting.
  A few minutes later he got up and continued on his way. Large picked up the paper which laid on the bench, as if he wanted to look at the news.

7.Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.
  In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were tong, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together.
  Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed Out tree trunks and," by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water.
  Later they traveled, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things, This is still the main reason why we travel today.
  Traveling, of course, has now become a highly organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of which provide us with comforts and security. This sounds wonderful. But there are difficulties. If you want to go abroad, you need a passport and a visa, ticket; luggage, and a hundred of other things. If you lose any of them, your journey may be ruined.

19.During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the Youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for them to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman" s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and she can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.
  This important change in women" s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women"s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.

We are told that in a family about 1900 ______.

A．few children died before they were five
B．seven or eight children lived to be more than five
C．the youngest child would be fifteen
D．four or five children died when they were five

20.
One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she ______.

A．is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves
B．does not like children herself
C．needn" t worry about food for her children

21.
Many girls "are now likely to ______.

A．give up their jobs for good after they are married
B．leave school as soon as they can
C．marry so that they can get a job
D．continue working until they are going to have a baby

22.
According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ______.

A．stay at home after leaving school
B．marry men younger than themselves
C．start working again later in life
D．marry while still at school

23.
Now a husband probably ______.

A．plays a greater part in looking after the children
B．helps his wife by doing most of the housework
C．feels dissatisfied with his part in the family

Names are different all over the world. In Jenny" s class, Jenny must learn the names of students from all over the world. This is very difficult because the names are very different.
  In the United States, most people have a first name, a middle name, and a last name. Parents choose the first and middle names for their baby. There are names for boys and names for girls. For example, John, Peter, Tom and Mike are all names for boys. Elizabeth, Betty, Susan, and Mary are all names for girls. The last name is the family name. Usually it is the father" s family name. In a family, the mother, the father, and the children usually have the same last name.
  Sometimes a person has a nickname(綽號) ,too. A nickname is a special name. It is not a per son" s real name. Abraham Lincoln" s nickname was "Honest Abe". An honest person always tells the truth, and Abe is short for Abraham. Because he was an honest person, his nickname was "Hon est Abe". Pele(貝利) is a nickname, too.
