• 1．Passage A
      It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps，but everyone needs some rest to stay alive.That's all doctors thought，until they heard about Al Herpin.Al Herpin，it was said，never slept.Could this be true？The doctors decided to see the strange man themselves.
      Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey.They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind.So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made.But they were surprised.Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day，they never saw him sleeping.In fact，he did not even own a bed.He never needed one.The only rest Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers.The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness.They asked him many questions，hoping to find an answer.They found only one answer that might explain his condition.Herpin remembered some talk about his mother's having been injured several days before he was born.But that was all.Was this the real reason？Nobody was sure.Herpin died at the age of 94.

• 2．Passage B
      On April 26，1986，I was five years old.I can't remember this day very well，but it turned out to be a disaster not only for our family，but also for thousands of people from many countries.It was a really nice，warm and sunny day.
      I was outside with my elder brother and my little 13-day-old sister，who was sleeping in a pram under a tree.
      Suddenly dark clouds appeared in the sky and a strong wind started to blow.Our mum told us to come into the house.While we were gathering our toys，she was trying to take the pram.The first drop of"rain"fell on my sister.It was only later that we found out the rain was radioactive water.
      At first we were not told anything about the accident.The government"didn't want people to panic."But they were afraid that the second reactor（反應(yīng)堆） would blow up.Trains were made ready to send people away from our city.
      Since then the word"radiation"has come into and changed our life.Chernobyl deprived（剝奪） me of many joys of my childhood.Life went on as usual.I grew up and went to school.I studied very well.In 1998，I graduated from high school with honors and dreamed of entering a university.And here again Chernobyl interfered.I was diagnosed with a brain tumor（腦瘤）.My parents came back from Minsk，where my sister had just undergone a brain tumor operation.I didn't know how to tell mum that we had to go back to Minsk again for another operation straight after my sister's.This was how Chernobyl poisoned my youth.

• 3．Passage C
      On December 1，1955，Rosa Parks was planning to take the bus home from work as usual.She had just finished working as a seamstress（女裁縫） at a department store and then walked to the bus stop.As she first boarded the bus，she noticed that the driver was the same man who had sent her off his bus years earlier because she would not go around to the back door after she was already on the bus.She decided to get on anyway and sit down，but she did not sit at the very front of the bus.She took a seat next to a black man in the first row that"colored"people were allowed to sit in.At the next stop，some white people got on the bus.After they filled up the white seats，one man was left standing.When the driver noticed him standing，he told Rosa and the others in her row to let the man have a seat.Three people stood up，but the driver saw that Rosa was still sitting there.He asked if she would stand up，and she refused.Then he told her he would have her arrested，and Rosa told him he could do that.
      A few minutes later，two policemen got on the bus.When the driver told them that Rosa would not stand up，the policemen walked over to her and asked her why she wouldn't get up.Rosa said she didn't think she should stand up and asked，"Why do you push us around？"One policeman answered，"I don't know，but the law is the law，and you are under arrest."As soon as he said that，Rosa stood up.Then one of the policemen picked up her purse while the other picked up her shopping bag，and the three left the bus.Finally，they took Rosa to the police station in the car.
      Rosa's action that day started a citywide boycott（聯(lián)合抵制） of the bus system by Blacks that lasted more than a year.This later resulted in the decision against segregation on city buses in the US.

• 4．Passage D
      Following the customs and traditions of a new place may help newcomers adapt to their new life.People who try to follow the ways of their new environment will gain an understanding of both their new neighbors and their surroundings，and with this understanding comes a feeling of comfort and belonging.For instance，when I first came here，I was confused about how to greet people and say hello or start a conversation.I watched people on the street and saw many different ways people did this，such as shaking hands，hugging，and even kissing one another.I learned from my friends at school how to greet people of my age as well as my elders.I also learned it is important in this country to try to look people in the eye when I talk to them.As a result，since I started to follow some of the local customs when meeting and greeting people，I have not felt like such a stranger or outsider.
      Living in a new country can be overwhelming（令人不知所措的） and confusing at times.Some people may feel lost and uncomfortable and may want to stick to the customs and traditions that they are used to from their own culture.In my opinion，it is good to keep some of these；however，it is important to try to get familiar with some new ways as well.Keeping some old ways and at the same time keeping an open mind about following some of the new ones may be the best way to help people feel comfortable and fulfilled in a new country.
  
  （1）If you want to be comfortable when you come to a new place，which of the following may be of help？

  
  A.Stay alone.
  B.Communicate with old friends.
  C.Share everything with your parents.
  D.Follow the customs and traditions of a new place.
  （2）From the example of the author's experience，we can see in the new environment，it's important

  when talking to each other.
  A.to look people in the eye
  B.to avoid eye communication
  C.to look at someone else
  D.to look into the distance
  （3）What is the best way to adapt yourself to your new life in a new country？

  
  A.Stick to the customs and traditions that you are used to from your own culture.
  B.Keep some old ways and at the same time keep an open mind about following some of the new ones.
  C.Keep to the new customs only.
  D.Remain silent.
