Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket I want to stop them and ask if they know just where their money is going.
The lottery money is supposed to go to charity—but it makes me angry to see some of the socalled "good causes" it’s being used to support. Also, Camelot, the organizers, have made a profit of £3 10.8 million in five months. We hear now that a lot of that money is boosting the pay packets of the company’s bosses.
For the past 10 years I’ve been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus. My husband, Sandy, died from cancer 11 years ago—he was only 51. There’s been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it’s been devastating. I’ve also lost two sisters-in-law, my brother, Michael, my father-in-law and my father. That’s apart from several close friends.
The charity is 50 years old now and raises
A. the writer is enthusiastically supporting the National Lottery
B. the writer has objections to the National Lottery
C. the writer believes that the lottery money should be used for cancer research
D. the writer is just expressing her feelings about collecting money for charity

Anyone who trains animals recognizes
that human and animal perceptual capacities are different. For most humans,
seeing is believing, although we do occasionally brood about whether we can
believe our eyes. The other senses are largely ancillary; most of us do not know
how we might go about either doubting or believing our noses. But for dogs,
scenting is believing. A dog’s nose is to ours as the wrinkled surface of our
complex brain is to the surface of an egg. A dog who did comparative psychology
might easily worry about our consciousness or lack thereof, just as we worry
about the consciousness of a squid. We who take sight for granted can draw pictures of scent, but we have no language for doing it the other way about, no way to represent something visually familiar by means of actual scent. Most h A. only those events experienced directly can be appreciated by the senses B. for many human beings the senses of sights is the primary means of knowing about the world C. smell is in many respects a more powerful sense than sight D. people rely on at least one of their other senses in order to confirm what they see [单项选择] {{B}}TEXT C{{/B}}
