One night last February, a seventeen-year-old Duffy drove home along a winding road, he saw a strange light thrown against the tree. “I knew it wasn’t the moon”, he said. “I drive this road all the time and I notice little things out of place.”
Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine. Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken car with its headlights on. Thirty minutes earlier, a man had driven off the edge of the road, which has no guardrail. His car fell and rolled end over end, landing on its top more than two hundred feet below.
Duffy rushed to call for help, then returned and got down to reach the injured driver. Snow covered the valley and the temperature was below freezing. After struggling back up the cliff, Duffy took off his jacket and shirt and wrapped the injured man in time, along with the blankets from his car.
Life-saving deeds are starting to become usual action for Duffy, the oldest of seven children. When he was 12, he saved his ten-year-old brother from drowning. Two years ago, his three-year-old sister ate rat poison, and Duffy cleaned out her mouth, make her drink milk to protect her stomach and called doctors.

China news，Beijing，July．29—Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese．To many property developers and local government officials，housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries．However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter，while in China，it is even higher than in the United States．This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫)in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported．
Although the average price of residential houses in the United States，after convened to Re Renminbi，is about 8,000 yuan per square meter，the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area，as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses．If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area，then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter．In most big Chinese cities，such as Beijing，Shanghai, and Shenzhen，houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US．
The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles．Moreover，Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality，environment and supporting facilities．Furthermore，it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people．
How Can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?
At the beginning of 2007，Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public．Now in order to reduce the high housing prices．the government Call regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers．At the same time，the government should allow, people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels．such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units．By applying these multiple means，it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered．

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy with business，and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough，he rode out a great deal.
During this time，all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house，when he would sometimes pass me coldly， and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.
One evening，several days later，I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair，and looked not quite so severe，and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright，probably with wine. As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned, and asked me，“Do you think I am handsome，Miss Eyre? ”
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No，sir.” “Ah，you really are unusual! You are a quiet， serious little person， but you can be almost rude.” “Sir，I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that,” “No，you shouldn't! I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance (抵消) your few good points.”
I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly，“Yes，you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character，but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope.”
It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly，as was the case for the first time.
“Don't be afraid of me， Miss. Eyre，”he continued. “You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me，and laugh， and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night.”
56. At the beginning Miss Eyre's impressions of Mr. Rochester were all except_____.
A. busy        B. sociable        C. dull          D. changeable
57. The underlined sentence means_________ .
A. Only by meeting him around the house sometimes did I know a little about him.
B. Only by coming to the house could I know about him.
C. I occasionally met him but my knowledge about him was poor.
D. What I knew about him was limited in the house.
58. From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to _________________.          .
A. tell her all his troubles                  B. tell her his life experience
C. blame her for misunderstanding him     D. change his circumstances
59. At the end of the passage，Mr. Rochester sounded ___________ .
A. rude              B. cold             C. polite          D. encouraging
60. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. Miss Eyre was at Lowood School before she came to Mr. Rochester’s house.
B. Miss Eyre didn’t see Mr. Rochester often.
C. Miss Eyre was honest, brave and confident.
D. Miss Eyre was brave, polite and warm-hearted.
