It's hi gh time they realised the 43 .”The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were 44 on their si de, and even if they weren't they soon would be.45 aske d if they were 46 that the police might come to 47 them .“Not really,”she said,“actually we are 48 bell- ringer s.

Ⅲ.阅读理解（共25小题。A节每小题2分，B节每小题1分；满分45分）A)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。 A Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office bu ilding when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasu re — a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Log an,“a woman who knew everybody in her day,”James Green, the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burn ing Washington, D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as“perfectly shaki ng with fear”during the troubled days. George Washingto n, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man , and praised her excellent English.The adventure of th e lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrive d from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor (祖先 ) to the Library Company, which he and his wife conside red to be the best home for the diary.Green told Americ an Libraries he had the diary in his possession“about f ive minutes”when Luxmoore took it back because he had p romised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Lux moore was shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck.“I've felt sick since then,”Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green, no on e has yet learned how the diary came to the office buil ding. Tom Brennan received a reward (奖励) of ＄1,000, Phi ladelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters,“It's wonderful news. I'm on hi gh.”
B Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become“computer-literate.”But not all experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.One pioneer, in par ticular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown Uk. Although many people see this as a suc cessful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computerto wn Uk was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them“people-literate.”Davi d Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an impo rtant difference between the two. The clubs are for peo ple who have some computer knowledge already. This frig htens away non-experts, who are happier going to Comput ertowns where there are computers for them to experimen t on, with experts to encourage them and answer any que stions they have. They are not told what to do, they fi nd out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers ,but have to be able to answer a ll question people ask. people don't have to learn comp uter terms (术语), but the experts have to explain in pla in language. The computers are becoming“people-literate .”

D Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she s aid to her
father,“But, Dad, you can't be healthy if yo u're dead.”Dad, in a
hurry to get home before dark so h e could go for a run, had
forgotten to wear his safety belt — a mistake 75% of the US
population make every da y. The big question is why.There have been
many myths a bout safety belts ever since their first appearance in
cars some forty years ago. The following are three of t he most
common.Myth Number One: It's best to be“thrown clear”of a serious
accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accid ent serious enough to “throw
you clear”is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad
landing. And c hances are you'll have traveled through a windshield
(挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dyi ng after a
car accident are twenty-five times greater i n cases where people
are“thrown clear.”Myth Number Two: Safety belts“trap”people in cars
that are burning or si nking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but
studies show tha t people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not
wearing sa fety belts have a greater chance of dying in these acci
dents, People wearing safety belts are usually protecte d to the
point of having a clear head to free themselve s from such dangerous
situations, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety
belts aren't needed at s peeds of less than 30 miles per hour
(mph).Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an
unbelte d driver would meet the windshield with a force equal t o
diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
E When a group of children politely stop a conversati on with you, saying:“We have to go to work now,”you're left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is j ust unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the“work”they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage scho ols often act as agencies (代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name“stag e school”are those few places where children attend ful l time, with a training for the theatre and a general e ducation.A visit to such schools will leave you in no d oubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, wha t lively children wouldn't settle for spending only hal f the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singi ng or dancing their way through the other half of the d ay?Then of course there are times for the children to m ake a name and make a little money in some big shows. S ome stage schools give their children too much professi onal work at such a young age. But the law is very tigh t on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.The sc hools themselves admit that not all children will be su ccessful in the profession for which they are being tra ined. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.

She ju st keeps talking.John: Don't the students complain (抱怨) about it? 74 .Fred: No. 75 .John: Well, you could try a nd talk to her.Fred: Maybe.
