Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at

spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and
dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates.

At two o'clock a bank robber stole in. "This is a holdup,"the man
said loudly. He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George.
"Hand it over!"George reached into his money-box and took all the
bills from the top part-close to six thousand dollars. The robber took them and
turned to leave.
Then, while everyone watched the robber, George calmly lifted the top part of the money-box, took bills from the bottom part and put them into his own pocket secretly.
The door was shut and the bank robber was gone. George fainted（晕倒）.
As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George counted the money. He had eight thousand dollars. He was very happy.
The next morning, while the others were examining the bank's records, George was called into Mr Burrow's office and was introduced to Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of the bank.
"Good morning, George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed too. I have retired（退休）, but I'm always thinking of our bank. That's why I played my little game yesterday, just to keep everyone on his toes（趾）. Now, I have put the money back in your money-box all six thousand.”

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or
only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just
to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon
totally unaware（未意识到）of your
surroundings. You soon become interested in some books or others, and usually
it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and
have to rush off to keep some forgotten appointment.
This chace to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction（吸引）of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can walk around such a place to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will come up to you with the greeting "Can I help you?"You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't borrow it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from his usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a comer. "I put it there in case anyone tries to buy it !"He said, and left the delighted student continuing his reading.
8．According to the passage the main attraction
of a bookshop is that ________.
A. people can learn something from books B. it can be a shelter from a sudden rain
C. it is the surrounding of new knowledge D. it
offers a chance to get free from realities
9．The writer thinks that the assistant in a
good bookshop should ________.
A. always greet customers pleasantly and warmly B. help
the readers to find what they want to read
C. not say a word to the customers while they read D. not stand behind the bookshelf all the
time
10．The underlined word "beckoning"in
the last paragraph means ________.
A. waving somebody to come up B. laughing at a
person openly
C. shouting at somebody angrily D.
shaking one's head to show disagreement
11．The purpose of the writer in writing the
third paragraph is to ________.
A. tell us a story that happened in a bookshop B.
support his idea of what a good bookshop is like
C. teach us how to read in a shop without buying books D. advise us to help
other people whenever we can
D
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or
other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have
their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are
looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain . This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attacted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts（度假胜地）and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked without a bread every summer. And 13 million people camp put on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.
But there are sings that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is mining anyone's fun. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastlin still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
12．The writer seems so imply that Europeans
travel mostly for the reason that ________.
A. thay want to see historic remains
B. they wish to escape from cold, dark and rainy days
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous places
D. they are interested in different cultural and social customs
13．According to the passage, which of the
following countries attracts more tourists than the others?
A. Italy B. Greece. C. France. D.
Spain.
14．The underlined part in the last sentence in
Paragraph 3, "one tourist for each person living in Spain"means
________.
A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourist
B. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
C. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in
that country
D. every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year
15．According to the passage, which of the
following might ruin the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Polluted water B.
Crowded buses. C. Rainly weather. D. Traffic jams.
