You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another 21 . At the start they only fight with their hands, but soon they begin 22 one another over the heads with chairs. It goes on until one of the men crashes (猛撞) through a window, and 23 thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course, he isn't really 24 . With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? 25 the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for 26 . These men are 27 “stuntmen” (特技演员). That is to 28, they perform “tricks”.
There are two sides to their work. They 29 do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall 30 a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground 31 on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (垫子). 32 , when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the “glass” is made of 33 .
Although their work depends on tricks of this kind, it calls for a 34 degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman's success depends on exact 35 . For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle screen, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

In spite of all the risks, this is 39 a profession for “men only”. Men no longer dress up 40 women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. Nowadays there are “stuntgirls” too!

A man was tired of living in his old house in the country and wanted to sell it and buy a better one. He tried to sell it for a long time, but was not successful, so at last he decided to solve the problem by using as real estate agent.（房地产代理人）
The agent decided at once to advertise the house, and a few days later, the owner saw a very attractive photograph of it, with a wonderful description of its gardens, in an expensive magazine.
After the house owner had read the advertisement through, he hurriedly telephoned the real estate agent and said to him,“I'm sorry, Mr. Jones, but I've decided not to sell my house after all. After reading your advertisement in that magazine, I can see that it's just the kind of house I've wanted to live in all my life.”

In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.
Yet, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what“Keeping up with the Joneses”is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York Ciry. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses. Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.
The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”,because “Jones”is a very common name in the United States.“Keeping up with the Joneses”came to mean
keeping up with the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the “right”books, go to the “right”universities and eat in the“right”restaurants.
Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are“Joneses”in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr Jones seems always to be ahead.

According to the dictionary definition of create，ordinary people are creative every day.To create means to bring into being，to cause to exist something each of us does daily．
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way．First, this includes an awareness（意识） of our surroundings．It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world．This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（质地），as well as taste， when we plan a meal．Above all，it is the ability to notice things that others might miss．
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things．If we believe the expression，There is nothing new under the sun，the creativity is remaking or recombining（重组）the old in new ways．For example，we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture，or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph．
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas，to ask for them to achieve some new results．To think up a new idea is one thing；to put the idea to work is another．
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses，but they are also included in many of our daytoday activities．
49．Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage？

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip, when he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students' freedom— or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
A parents' group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
“We do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “but extrems (极端) of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
Most students have simply ignored the request. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf.
Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons. “I don't really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “in winter, when dressed like that, it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
52. What led to the argument in Italian middle schools?
A. Students' craze for fashions.
B. Clothes that are too exposing.
C. Students' ignoring dress codes(着装规则)
D. Students' underwear.
53. Which of the following supports the headmaster's request?
A. Fashion should be taken seriously.
B. Fashion should not be followed in school.
C. Students should have their freedom in choosing what they wear.
D. Students should be encouraged to have good taste in clothes.
54. The argument against the headmaster's request is that ________.
A. schools should pay attention to things more important than students' clothes
B. fashion should not be followed in school
C. dress in Italian schools is too casual
D. low-rise jeans can do harm to youngster's health
55The purpose of this story is to ________
A. show Chinese students that wearing very fashionable clothes in school is under attack in other countries, too.
B. show that dress code is necessary even in a country like Italy
C. tell us that a debate started in Italian middle schools over the way students dress in school
D. let us see that Italian students react differently to schools' requests.
