Readers Digest secretly scattered 140 wallets all over Asia , each with a name , address and phone number, family pictures , notes and money in it .
The magazine workers then watched to see what happened .
|
50 per cent of the dropped wallets were returned in Bombay , Bangkok , Taipei and Kajang in Malaysia , with most people saying they would not keep what was not rightfully theirs .

The Frenchwoman who received the world’s first partial transplant (局部面部移植)showed off her new face on February 6. Isabelle Dinoire , a 38-year-old mother of two children , gave an unclear speech and had trouble in moving her lips at her first news conference since the operation in November , 2005 .
“Since the day of my operation, I have had a face like everyone else,” Dinoire said , reading from a prepared statement. She also thanked the family of the brain-dead woman , who gave her new lips , a chin and a nose .
Before the 15-hour operation on November27,2005, Donire’s teeth were uncovered and most of her nose was missing . She wore a mask in public to avoid frightening people . Dinoire said she was regaining sensation and was not in pain now . “I can open my mouth and eat . I can feel my lips , my nose and my mouth,” she said .
Her mouth appeared slightly lopsided (歪的)and was usually open slightly . When she laughed , she seemed unable to bring her lips together to form a full smile . She also had difficulty pronouncing letters like “b” and “p”. In terms of coloring, the match between Dinoire’s own skin and the transplanted one was obvious , though she wore make-up .
|
She also explained the difficulties of life with such an ugly face , saying that she received a number of stares when she went out . Dinoire said she accepted immediately when her doctor suggested the transplant . But the operation has been unable to restore the way she looked before .
“There’s no comparison between the face I have today and the face I had seven months ago . It is totally different ,” she said .

Think about it
Escaping a fire is a serious matter . Knowing what to do before a fire breaks out can save a life . For example , people should know the safety measures to take before opening a hall door during a fire . Also , make sure everyone knows how to unlock doors that may be in the escape path . At times , a key is needed to unlock a door from the inside . So, keep the key in the lock . Or, you can put the key on a key ring and put it where it can be found easily .
If you live in a flat , know the ways you can use to get out . Show everyone in the family these paths . Remind everyone of the importance of using stairways or fire escapes , not lifts .
|
In a home fire , windows are
often the only means of escape . The second floor windowsill is usually not
more than 13 feet from the ground . An average person , hanging by the fingertips
, will have a drop of about six feet to the ground . Of course , it is safer to
jump a short way than to stay in a burning building . Roll away from the
building when you land .
Windows are also useful when you’re waiting for help. Often you’ll be able to stay in the room for several minutes if you keep the door closed and the window open . Keep your head low in the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room .
On a second or third floor , the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof .From the roof , a person can either drop to the ground or await rescue . Dropping onto sidewalk or pavement might end in injury . Bushes , soft earth , and grass can help to break a fall . A rope ladder should be considered when the drop is too great .
In a town where the fire department acts quickly ,it may be best to wait for rescue . Close the doors and wait by an open window for help . Shout for help . Be sure to close the door before opening a window . Otherwise , smoke and fire may be drawn into the room .
49．We can learn from the passage that windows are .
A．easily broken B．easy to catch fire
C．good escape paths D．useful to put out a fire
50．If you happen to be in a room during a fire , it’s a good idea to .
A．open a window B．use the lifts
C．stand quite still D．put out the fire
51．We can learn from the article that in a home fire .
A．people should close the window and open the door
B．soft earth can reduce the chance of being injured
C．it’s always safer to jump out than to stay
D．rope ladders should not be used
52．What is the main idea of this article ?
A．We can turn to the firemen during a fire .
B．We should keep in mind the escape paths .
C．People should know what to do before a fire breaks out .
D．People should find help as soon as possible during a fire .

短文写作参考答案
Recently we had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities .
Some students thinks it’s a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets . Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting . On the contrary , the other students are against the idea . In their opinion , if too many people keep pets at home , it is bad for the environment . What is worse , pets may make too much noise and even attack people .
I like animals , so I don’t think it’s bad to keep pets at home . But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment .
