One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected（可疑的）police killer David Bieber ---- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm into the building.
She said: ”I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious（怀疑）of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stall McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gatesheed, at about 11:30pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat.”
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed（戴手铐）.

A. get B. pay C. reach D. catch

A. the police called her

According to the Western zodiac, in 2160 A. D. we will enter a new age----the Age of Aquarius. It takes more than two thousand years for our solar system to travel through each star sign, and each star sign is considered an “age”. Until 2160 A. D. we’ll continue to be in the Piscean Age, which is represented by water. Many people think that because Aquarius comes from the Latin word “aqua” meaning “water”, the Aquarian age is also represented by water. In fact, Aquarius is an air sign. The two other types of signs are earth and fire.
In the Middle Ages, it was believed that everything----including people----was made of these four elements, and that people fell sick because they had an imbalance in their humors. It was also thought the balance of a person’s humors affected their character. A famous play by the Eliazbethan (late 16th and early 17th century) playwright Ben Johnson is called Every Man in His Humor.
The coming New Age has led many people in the West to think more about the way we live and about how we treat our environment. These people are very interested in natural healing, inner harmony（内部协调）and special diets. They want the world to be a peaceful happy place with clean water, rivers and cities.
The word “Aquarius” means water-carrier, and it seems likely that so many people are attracted to this new age because of the importance of water. In the past, many people believed in a god who was responsible for bringing water to where it was needed for crops and people. This idea existed in most cultures.
The Greeks liked to give names to their gods and to make them seem like people. For them Aquarius became Ganymede whom the chief god, Zeus, made his personal water-carrier. He was also responsible for making sure that every year there was enough water to make the River Nile flood and so provide water for the crops in Egypt.
The modern attitude towards the Age of Aquarius may be a result of what humans have done to the planet. People are more aware nowadays of the importance of spiritual matters and environmental protection.
51. The story is about ______.
A. what each star sign represents
B. the four elements that rule all people
C. the meaning of the Age of Aquarius
D. the coming of the Age of Aquarius
52. The Age of Aquarius ______ .
A. comes after the Piscean Age
B. will end in the year 2160 A. D.
C. will never come
D. will come when Christ is reborn
53. The sign of Aquarius ______.
A. is a water sign B. is an air sign
C. is an earth sign D. represents the Piscean Age
54. Ganymede ______.
A. was on a special diet B. was a famous playwright
C. had an imbalance in his humors D. was Zeus’ personal water-carrier
55. The word “Aquarius” means ______.
A. the heaven
B. water-carrier
C. the gods
D. bringing water to the important fields
