Do you think there is a ghost(鬼) in the world? More than 20 years ago, a student jumped from the top of the clock tower in the University of Birmingham. He did this only because he failed his final exam.
After his death, a superstition(迷信) began: Anyone who walks under the clock tower will have bad luck in his exam. Years later, students there still remember the story of the tower. (Although Birmingham is the second largest city in Britain, the university is green and quiet.) The grass around the tower has been worn away by the feet of students who refuse to pass underneath the tower.
The university had to pave(铺) extra paths, so students could walk to their classrooms without passing under the most terrible area. But, one day just before an important exam, a top student in the university walked under the clock tower because he was lost in thought. However, he got high marks in the exam the next day. Quickly students all knew about it. Then they realized that the most important thing is working hard.
Whenever I go under the clock tower, I will tell myself, “Working hard is the key to success.”

Geoffrey Payne talks for the first time about the night his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed· his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison about what happened on the night of 13 October, 1999.
I had to stay late in the hospital that night to do an operation. I finally left at about 11 p.m. I drove home
slowly because the weather was terrible — the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was frightened and the man looked frightened too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was very strange.
When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.
I was still very upset about what happened on the road, so I made myself a drink. Then I went upstairs to have
a bath. I saw that the window in the bedroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars. When I went to close it, I found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt for her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body and was too frightened to do anything.
The next thing I knew was that the sky was getting light. I can’t remember things about that night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived about half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like hours. During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before. I couldn’t stop thinking about the man in the road. Where was he going at that time of night in our quiet neighborhood? Why did he look so frightened? Why did he run away?
41. Geoffrey Payne was a ________.
A. doctor
B. policeman
C. judge
D. taxi driver
42. What happened while Payne was turning into his road that night?
A. A man suddenly ran in front of his car.
B. His wife called him from the concert hall.
C. A man stopped him and asked him the way.
D. A man hit Payne’s car with a big stone and ran away.
43. When Payne got home, he found ________.
A. Ellen waiting for him.
B. the bedroom window closed
C. Ellen lying on the floor, blood all over
D. a burglar in his house
44. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Payne called the police the next morning.
B. Payne could remember clearly what had happened.
C. The policemen arrived thirty minutes after Payne’s call.
D. Payne wondered what the man was doing in his neighborhood that night.

Men have always wondered about the earth they live on and the ①________ above them.
When early men looked at the night sky, they asked themselves a lot of questions. They looked at the moon, and wondered what this strange bright object in the sky was. They did not understand why it changed its shape from night to night. They looked at the stars and planets. They also wondered why some of them changed their positions, while others did not.
②他们也思考地球的形状。Most early people believed the earth was flat.
③In different parts of the world, there were different ideas about the universe. The ancient Greeks were the first people to study the universe more scientifically. In the sixth century BC Pythagoras put forward the idea that the world was round. However, he could not explain why people at the bottom of the world did not fall off.
It was not until the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that scientists found the answers to some important questions.④With the help of Galileo’s telescope, people could see the sky more clearly, and find the positions of the stars and planets. Finally in 1665, Isaac Newton explained to the world what gravity(重力) was and people at last understood why they did not fall off the earth.

There was a strange moving thing in the sky last night. As for what it was, different people had different opinions. Fred said it must be a UFO because it flew very fast and no manmade thing could fly so fast. But Rose thought it couldn’t be a UFO because it was very low in the sky. It might be a kite. She used to have a kite that could give off light.
But Kathy didn’t agree with them. She thought it must be a plane because it sounded like a plane. What do you think it was?
