Reading Comprehension(1)Byrne turned the key in the heavy lock and put it calmly in his pocket. He did so much morefrom caution(谨慎)than from any kind of fear. This was the only entrance to the house, and he did not mean to be caught unawares by any danger from outside. He wondered if Tom Corbin had been as careful the night before. Though Tom would be away for at least three days. Byrne had a strange feeling of his nearness. In the stillness he seemed to hear Tom' s voice. He looked round quickly, for the tricks of hearing are the most realistic of all. But there were only the women. It seemed impossible that Tom should not be there.The girl, carrying a smoky oil lamp, led Byrne upstairs. He threw open one after another the doors along the passage. At this, the girl stopped and raised the lamp in each doorway, staring at him meanwhile. Satisfied he was the only guest, Byrne came to the last door, which the girl threw open herself.“You sleep here, sir,”she said, giving him the lamp. “Your friend slept here too. It's our most comfortable bed. "Her lips moved in reply, but he did not catch the words. Her eyes never for a moment left his face. He stepped in, and as he turned to close the door she was still standing there motionless. He paused, and in the silence he thought he again heard the sound of Tom's voice. The sound terrified him now, not only because it seemed much nearer but also because he imagined a note of warning in it.He shut the door in the girl's face then, leaving her in the dark. He opened it again almost at once. She had disappeared without a sound. He closed and bolted the door. A deep mistrust suddenly took possession of him. Why had that girl stared at him so? Did she wish to remember him dearly? It was as if she knew that she was seeing his face for the last time.1. Why did Byrne take the key with him? .A. To let Tom in, when he rammedB. Because he was afraid of what was going to happenC. To stop any enemy being let into the houseD. Because he did not want the women to escape2.

The people and actions in these pictures seem real to the person who is dreaming.When a person is asleep, he has little or no control over his mind. Then ideas and feelings come out to form the mind picture known as dreams.Dreams may be influenced by different things that are present during sleep. If a person is cold, he may dream that he is out in a snowstorm. Worries or anger may also influence the content of a dream.Some people think that they seldom dream, and other people are quite sure that they do not dream at all. Studies of human sleep have shown, though, that everyone dreams every night. If a person thinks he does not dream, it is because he does not remember dreaming when he wakes up. Usually, a person may dream three to seven times for a total of one to two hours of dreaming every night.Perhaps you are wondering just how research workers can be sure that a person is dreaming. The story behind the discovery is an interesting one.During their research studies of human sleep, Dr Kleitmmn and his assistants noticed that a person sleeping made sudden eye movements. These eye movements occurred at least several times a night. When a sleeper was awakened during these periods of eye movement, it was learned that he had been dreaming. In most cases, the dreamer could then recall his dream. The person's eye movements, scientists believe, were caused by the movements of his eyes as he followed the events of the dream.Not only does everyone dream, but it seems that we all need to dream. One theory is that dreaming gives us a chance to escape from the rules of our real world. In dreams we can see our wishes come true. We can be rich, powerful, successful.Another theory is that in our dream we are trying to work out problems that have troubled us during waking moments.Whatever the explanation, we all do dream, and dreaming is necessary and important to us.1.

For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had flew through Mrs. Holt's basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees shook under me as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred(神圣的)thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom，I wanted to keep it. But Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I'd hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved( 雕刻) from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown bird in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy ( 准确), I screamed to Steve to come to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn't know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most “important lesson my brother taught me.1. What is the main subject of the passage?A.

After four years of below-normal rainfall (in some cases only I0 percent of the annual average), vast areas of France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Britain and Ireland are dry and barren( 不毛的). Water is so low in the canals of northern France that waterway traffic is forbidden except on weekends. Oyster(牡蛎) growers in Britain report a 30 percent drop in production became of the loss of fresh water in local rivers necessary for oyster growing. In southeastern England, the rolling green hills of Kent have turned so brown that officials have been weighing plans to pipe in water from Wales. In Portugal, farmers in the southern Alentejo region have held prayer meetings for rain -- so far, in vain.Government in those countries are taking severe measures. In hard-hit areas of France washing cars and watering lawns were strictly forbidden. In Britain. water will soon be metered, like gas and electricity. “The English have always taken water for granted.” says Graham Warren, a spokesman d Britain's National Rivers Authority. “Now they' re putting a price on .”Even a sudden end to the drought would not end the misery (痛苦)in some areas. It will take several years of unusually heavy winter rain, the experts say, .just to bring existing water' reserves(储备)up to their normal levels.1.
