“It’s Only Me”
After her husband had gone to work, Mrs. Richards sent her boys to school and went upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any housework that morning, for in the evening she would be going to a fancy dress party with her husband. She intended to dress up as a ghost(鬼) and as she had made her costume(时装) the night before, she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was very effective. After putting it on. Mrs. Richards went downstairs. She wanted to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear.
Just as Mrs. Richards was entering the dining-room, there was a knock on the front door. She knew that it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. Not wanting to frighten the poor man. Mrs. Richards quickly hide in the small store-room under the stairs. She heard the front door opened and heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and a man entered, Mrs. Richards realized that is must be the man from the Electric Board (供电部门)who had come to read the meter. She tried to explain the situation, saying “It’s only me”, but it was too late. The man let out a cry and jumped back several paces. When Mrs. Richards walked towards him, he ran away, slamming the door behind him.

B: Read the passage and then make the best choice.
In this game you are in a tank and the screen shows your view of the landscape outside. You gain points by shooting enemy tanks, super-tanks, missiles and saucers.
Experts gain scores of around 150,000 points at this game. To get a high score you have to destroy twenty tanks as quickly as possible. After this the super tanks, missiles and saucers appear. These are worth far more points than the ordinary tanks. (The number of tanks you have to destroy before the super-tanks appear varies on different machines.)
Try to approach an enemy tank from the side or the back, so it cannot shoot at you. Then, when you get close, turn to face it, line it up in your sights and fire before it runs to shoot at you. If you miss or are too slow, quickly escape by moving out of the enemy’s line of fire. You can then move around the enemy and come in from another side.
When a super-tank appears, try to destroy it. Then wait safely behind an obstacle(障碍) for a missile or flying saucer. The cubes are useful objects to hide as you can fire over them without exposing yourself to danger. The missiles will fly straight at you, but they are difficult to hit, so do not shoot at them until they are quite close. The saucers are much easier to hit, but do not chase them as you will be open to attack from tanks.
36. This information refers to ______.
A. an underwater game B .a computer game C. a TV game D. a ball game

Television undoubtedly offers us much entertainment, but it has some bad effects on heavy viewers.
Firstly, television encourages passive enjoyment.
As the viewers spend hour after hour watching TV, they get receptive unquestioning about the things on TV. The very danger of watching television lies in the fact that the viewers make no choice and exercise no judgment, as everything is presented to them without any effort on their part. Secondly, television prevents them from communicating with the real world. What the viewer receives from television dramas is nothing but fictional events, person, objects and places. As the viewer has grown addicted (有瘾的) to television, he often ignores the necessary and important things in reality. As a result, he would be completely cut off from the real world.
Clearly, television is to be blamed for the effects of passivity and its action it brought to the heavy viewers. Therefore, watching TV should be strictly confined to selection.
