I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn't want me for the film- it wanted somebody as well known as Paul- he stood up for me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other- but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen.

We shared the brief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back- he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing thatbrought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn't talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.

24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

26.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?

27.What is the author's purpose in writing the test?

Terrafugia Inc .said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The wehicle-named the Transition - has two seats wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition,which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.

Around 100 people have already put down a ＄10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways. It's expected to cost ＄279,000.And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.

Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted z&the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety siandards.

Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.

28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?

30. What is the govemment's attitude to the development of the flying car?

31. What is the best title for the text?

When a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.

Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.It's a plant's way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.

Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who are natural enemies to the attackers . Once they arrive,the tables are turned.The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.

In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.

Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to "overhear" the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional back and forth.

Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.

32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?

33. What does the author mean by "the tables are turned" in paragraph 3?

34.Scientists find from their studies that plants can          .

35.what can we infer from the last paragraph?

Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done.    36     ,there are several ways to handle things.Let's take a look at them now.

    37       .Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the of you can talk at a different time.

When people try to interrupt you,have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then.     38     .It can help to eliminate(消除) future interruptions.

When you need to someone,don't do it in your own office.       39     .it's much easeier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are

If you have a door to your office,make good use of it.      40     .If someone knocks and it's not an important matter. Excuse yourself and let the person know you're busy so they can get the hint(暗示) than when the door is closed,you're not to be disturbed.

In1973,I was teaching elementary school.Each day,27 kids 41    "The Thinking Laboratory."That was the      42    students voted for after deciding that "Room 104" was too    43   .

Freddy was an average      44    ,but not an average person .He had the rare balance of fun and compassion（同情）.He would    45   the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone's    46    .

Before the school year     47    ,I gave the kids a special       48    , T-shirts with the words "Verbs Are Your    49   on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs（动词）may seem dull ,most of the 50   things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.

Through the years, I'd run into former students who would provide    51   on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his 52   from high school and remained the same    53   person I met forty years before .Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man 54   in his truck. Another time ,he 55   a friend money to buy a house .

Just last year,I was    56   a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door. A woman    57   the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and    58   it up. Inside were the "Verbs" shirt and a    59   from Freddy's mother. "Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this."

I told the story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn't help smiling . Although Freddy was taken from us,we all    60   something from Freddy.
