This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed. At three minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whitby, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train, and then stopped. Whitby went to the telephone beside the track. It was out of order. Then he saw a man moving between the second and the third cars. Before Whitby could give a warning, he was knocked down by two men. Mills' cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge, the bags of money were unloaded from the train and thrown into waiting trucks.

The robbers drove away with more than 2,500,000 pounds. Question: The robbery took place _ . - before 3:03 - in the early morning - after three o'clock in the afternoon - after 3:45

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: My father left me a treasure when he died. It wasn't a big house or a car. It wasn't cash or gold. In the eyes of the world my father died a poor man. He was a simple mechanic who worked hard to support his family. My father's treasure, rather, was in a thousand wonderful memories that he gave me over the course of his life. One particular one stood out in my mind today. I was just a boy playing in the backyard of a friend's house while my father spent the afternoon under the hood of an old car, trying to get it running again. It seemed to take hours and I wasn't sure whether he could bring the ancient car back to life again this time. At long last, though, he closed the hood and turned the key in the ignition . There was a sweet smile of satisfaction on his face as the engine started. There was a twinkle of joy in his eye when he shook his head. And there was a quiet hum of happiness in his voice as we drove back home that day. This memory made a home in my heart and became a priceless pearl for my soul to cherish. Time and time again, my father showed me that a kind life, a giving life and a heavenly life was created one choice at a time. Not all of his choices were the right ones, but most of them were. He did the best he could. He lived the best he could. And he helped to bring out the best in me, too. He once said to me, "It is lucky that all of your choices are driven by love and inspired by joy." As I look back into those memories my father left me, I realize that each one of them inspired me to live and to love. May all of your choices bring memories of happiness to those around you! Question: What was the most precious thing the author's father passed on to him? - A special car. - A big house and lots of money. - Skills to support the whole family. - Memories of his father and himself.
(Answer)
Memories of his father and himself.

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Young people and older people do not always agree with each other. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way. Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills. There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit around and talk to sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time. When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, "Why did it happen? What should we do about it?" One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: "You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group." Question: Living together, _ . - the teenagers have to obey the rules the adults made. - the members don't have to obey the rules. - the members are not allowed to break the rules they make together. - the members have no free time except on weekends
Ans: the members are not allowed to break the rules they make together.

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Recently,CCTV journalists have approached pedestrians with their cameras,held a microphone to their mouth and asked a simple question :"Are you happy?" The question has caught many interviewees off guard.Even Mo Yan who recently won a Nobel Prize,responded by saying:"I don't know". While the question has become a buzz phrase and the Internet plays host to heated discussions,we ask:What exactly is happiness ?And how do you measure it? In the 1776 US Declaration of Independence,Thomas Jefferson set in writing the people's unalienable right to"Life,Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".Last year,235 years on,China's Premier Wen Jiabao told the nation:"Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily."At last year's National People's Congress,officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target for the 12thfive-year plan. US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness:Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth describes happiness as "a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions",according to US broadcasting network PBS.This may sound straight forward enough,but it still doesn't explain what determines people's happiness. Many argue that happiness is _ and that there is no single source.It also means different things to different people.For some,happiness can be as simple as having enough cash. Researchers believe happiness can be separated into two types:daily experiences of hedonic well-being;and evaluative well-being, the way people think about their lives as a whole.The former refers to the quality of living,whereas the latter is about overall happiness,including life gods and achievement.Happiness can cross both dimensions. Li Jun,a psychologist and mental therapy practitioner at a Beijing clinic,says:"Happiness can mean both the most basic human satisfaction or the highest level of spiritual pursuit. It' s a simple yet profound topic ." Chen Shangyuan,21,a junior English major at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and...
