Mary, the 17-year-old daughter of a rich textile(纺织品) owner was freed(释放) by her kidnappers(绑匪) after 118 days. She said she spent most of the time in a tent in the woods{with; and; although}one foot tied to a tree. She was freed late on Friday{so; after; unless}her family paid a total of $1.8 million, the largest ransom (赎金) ever paid in Italy.

“I was treated{good; bad; well},” the girl told the reporter during the interview, “Biscuits, cakes, often hot food and at times beef.” She said her nearly four months in trouble was spent in a tent set up in a wooded area.

“I never saw their faces and{when; that; which}they spoke, they changed their voices in nasal tones (speaking through nose passage) on purpose ,” she said. “They kept repeating that the only thing they wanted was the money and that they didn't want to have{nothing; something; anything}to do with me or my family.”

wn on the secret, inklings given, but no more. I will try to give you an inkling. And, to do so, I will take you back into your history, or forward onto it. That evening when you went for a walk with your faithful friend, the friend from whom you hid nothing—or almost nothing...! You were, in truth, somewhat inclined to hide from him the particular matter which monopolized your mind that evening, but somehow you contrived to get on to it, drawn by an overpowering fascination. And as your friend was sympathetic and discreet, and flattered you by a respectful curiosity, you proceeded further and further into the said matter, growing more and more confidential, until at last you cried out, in a terrific whisper: "My boy, she is simply miraculous!" At that moment you were in the domain of literature.

hSouth, paid her through a public relations firm to produce several favorable articles for an Alabama newspaper that he reviewed before publication during his fraud trial last year.

The articles appeared in The Birmingham Times, a black-owned weekly in Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Scrushy was acquitted in June in a six-month trial there on all 36 counts against him, despite testimony from former HealthSouth executives who said he presided over a huge accounting fraud. "I sat in that courtroom for six months, and I did every thing possible to advocate for his cause," Audrey Lewis, the author of the articles, said in a telephone interview. She said she received $10,000 from Mr. Scrushy through the Lewis Group, a public relations firm, and another $1,000 to help buy a computer. "Scrushy promised me a lot more than what I got," she said.

Charles A. Russell, a spokesman for Mr. Scrushy, said he was not aware of an explicit agreement for the Lewis Group to pay Ms. Lewis. The payments to Ms. Lewis were first reported by The Associated Press yesterday. "There's nothing there I think Richard would have any part of," Mr. Russell said.

Mr. Russell said that Mr. Scrushy reviewed the articles before they were published. "Richard thought she was doing a little, 'F.Y.I., here's what I'm writing,' " Mr. Russell said. Ms. Lewis said that Mr. Russell, a prominent Denver-based crisis communications consultant, was also involved in providing her with financial compensation. She said Mr. Russell wrote her a $2,500 personal check at the end of May 2005; Mr. Russell said that was true. "She was looking for freelance community-relations work after the trial," Mr. Russell said.

Ms. Lewis came into Mr. Scrushy's sphere through Believers Temple Church; she attends services and works as an administrator there. She and Rev. Herman Henderson, the pastor, were part of a group that appeared in court with Mr. Scrushy and often prayed with him during breaks. Before and during the trial, in which 11 of the 18 jurors were black, Mr. Scrushy, who is white, forged ties with Birmingham's African-American population. He joined a predominantly black church, and his foundation donated to it and other black congregations.

Mr. Henderson also said he received payments from Mr. Scrushy in exchange for building support for him among blacks. Mr. Scrushy said in a statement yesterday that his foundation donated money to Mr. Henderson's church, but said the payments were unrelated to his case. "My foundation donated to his church building fund and to a Katrina relief effort that his church sponsored," Mr. Scrushy said. "That's it. Period."

Ms. Lewis, 31, said she was disclosing details about the financial arrangement because Mr. Scrushy still owes her and Mr. Henderson a significant amount of money. Ms. Lewis provided copies of a retainer agreement that Mr. Scrushy signed last April with the Lewis Group, a public relations firm controlled by Jesse J. Lewis Sr., 82 the founder of The Birmingham Times, and a check issued to her in May from the Lewis Group. (Ms Lewis and Mr. Lewis are not related.)

If you think you are sick, you are sick no matter what anyone else says. On the other hand, if you have belief in your doctor, and if he tells you that you’re going to feel better, you _1_ will. Take the case of Mrs. Brown for example. She was _2_ to get to sleep at night. She lacked energy and was too tired during the day even for the simple thing that she used to enjoy doing.

At last, she went to see her doctor, _5_ she had known for years. The doctor listened to her complaints and gave her a fairly thorough examination. Then, he said to her, “There is _6_ seriously wrong with your physical condition, but I accept the fact that you don’t feel well. I am going to give you some pills that should _7_. I want you to take one after dinner and one a half hour before going to bed tonight. Call me tomorrow and tell me how you feel.” The next morning Mrs. Brown telephoned to say, “Doctor, it’s very nice of you. I had the first _8_ night’s sleep last night in two months. What on earth is in those pills？” The doctor said, “It’s an old formula I have used for years. Just _9_ taking them for a week.” Turning to his nurse, he said, “It’s _10_ what a little soda can do.” [共10题]

Passage One

Mark went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area's city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman. It was too much for Mark. "The problems are too big," he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here."

On his way back, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery hag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn't have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks!" she said. "You've got great timing (适时) !"

"Just being neighborly (友好的) ," Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus passed by. On one of them was "Small acts of kindness add up." Mark smiled and thought, "Maybe that's a good place to start."

arithmetic(算术 ). But their knowledge of history and geography(地理 ) was very poor.

Once the French ambassador (大使 ) in Rome was giving a ball (舞会 ) to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs(外交部长 ) came very late. A young lady, who was well acquainted with him, saw him enter the ball-room(舞厅 ) and asked why he was so late.

“You see,” said the Minister, “there has been a little accident at the King’s palace.”

The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happened at the King’s palace.

“Oh, nothing important,” answered the Minister. “The ambassador of Brail (巴西 ), who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials(外交使节所递的国书 ) with him and was obliged to go back to his hotel to bring them. If he had left them in Brail we should have had to wait at least six months for them.”

“Is Brail so far from Rome ？” asked the lady, who knew very little geography.

“It is in the New World ,” said the Minister.

“In the New World ？” repeated the lady in great astonishment.

“Yes, in the New World,” answered the Minister in a sarcastic(讽刺的 ) tone, “which was discovered by Christopher Columbus(哥伦布 ).”

When the young lady heard this, she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could:
