All of a sudden, we heard people shouting from outside. Dad opened up the window. "Wow, look out there!" Intrigued, I opened another window and looked out. The street was packed with cars whose drivers didn’t know when or where to go. Policemen filled the streets trying to mollify the pandemonium. Right across the road, workers, who had been trapped on the eleventh floor while building, attempted to cling to railing and climb down to safety. Peoples’ interrogating and raucous shouts filled the hot August air.
I realized my father was speaking, "We can’t stay up here. With no power, there will be no emergency services. If the building caught on fire, we’d be trapped. Let’s go and I’I1 try to call Morn."

Some people do not like anything to be out of place; they are never late for work; they return their books on time to the library; they remember people’s birthdays; and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Hill is such a man.
Mr. Hill works in a bank, and lives alone. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Jack. Mr. Hill does not see his sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Jack’s seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr. Hill had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Just then, there was a knock at the door. He opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door-step.
"What have I done wrong" Mr. Hill
A. works in a bank by himself
B. lives in a bank and works by himself
C. lives by himself and works in a bank
D. lives in a bank by himself
| It looked just like another aircraft
from the outside. The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964.
But appearances were deceptive, and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who
boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives. Inside, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded(填塞) from floor to ceiling, it looked a bit strange. There were almost no windows, but lights along the padded walls illuminated it. Most of the seats had been taken out, apart from a few at the back, where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of fear. For 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency.
