   I had walked along the sea for about an     hour until I began to feel hungry. It was seven. At that time I was not far from a favourite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well.

I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded , and ordered my meal. While I was waiting, I looked   11   to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. Then I saw a man sitting at a corner table near the door keeping looking in my direction, as if he knew me. I certainly didn’t know him, for I never forgot a   12  .

He could see that I was well   17   in the restaurant. At last, he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again,    18   for his meal and left.

 When I had finished, I called the owner of the restaurant and asked him   19   the man had wanted. The owner told me he was a detective. “Really?” I was   20   . “He was certainly   21   in me. But why?” I asked. “He followed you because he thought you were a man he was looking   22   ,” the owner said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a   23   of the man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we   24   you, I told him that he had made a mistake.” It was   25   I came to a restaurant where I was known, or I might have been arrested!

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

                                A

Computers can help many workers. They can also help thieves. There was a thief who worked in a bank in the USA. He paid for everything he needed by writing a check. Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote. The bank’s computer did what he said. And it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the computer broke down. People had to do the computer’s work. They soon found out what was happening.

Another thief who worked for a bank saw people filling in deposit forms(存款单). Many of these people did not know their account numbers, so they wrote only their names on the forms. They left the place empty for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account numbers in the place. When the computer read these forms it looked only at the account numbers. It did not look at the customers’ names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief’s account.

 Then there was a bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents off every customer’s account each month and put it into his own account. For a long time the bank’s customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every months. But then someone did notice and told the bank. That was the end of that little game!

No one really knows how much computer crime is costing the banks, but some people believe it is millions of dollars a year.

It’s sometimes reported that strange objects have been seen high up in the sky. These unidentified flying objects (UFOs不明飞行物) have made a lot of people interested. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe, some have been explained in scientific ways, and others have never been explained.

It’s not easy to decide whether a report is true or not. One report of UFOs came from a British plane on its way from New York to London in 1954. The British plane was flying over an island at 19,000 feet when the captain noticed that something was on their left and a little lower than their plane. It’s about five miles away.

“It was not one object but several,” the captain said. “We saw one large and six smaller objects. I sent out a radio to report about them and I received the answer that the other planes were coming out to meet us. Before the planes arrived, the smaller objects entered the big object. The big object then became smaller and moved away fast.”

（  ）31. Some ______ have been explained in scientific ways.

A. people    B. strange objects   C. of the reports about UFOs  D. planes

（  ）32. In 1954, a British plane met a UFO when it was flying from ______ to _____.

C. America, France                       D. New York, an island

（  ）33. The captain ______ and saw something on the left of their plane.

A. looked down         B. looked up     C. looked back   D. looked ahead

（  ）34. How many objects did the captain see ? _________.

A. Only one              B. Five              C. Six                D. Seven

（  ）35. The big object moved away because ________.

A. it was afraid of the plane      B. it had received a radio report

C. of some unknown reasons    D. it had stayed long enough with the plane

                                   C

    Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break the habits which you might have. Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions:

1.Do you move your lips when reading silently?

2.Do you point to words with your finger as you read?

3.Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

4.Do you read one word at a time?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin(下巴) in one hand, and hold your head still. If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
