Ayers Rock is right in the centre of Australia. It’s nearly two thousand kilometres

__16__ Sydney, so we flew most of the way. It was rather cloudy __17__ . But after

we left the mountains behind us , there was hardly a cloud in the sky . Most of the

land below __18__ sand , though Dad told me it is greener than you think . “There are

a lot of sheep down there ,” he said , “but __19__people !”

Ayers Rock is a large , low mountain . The day after we arrived , we got up early in

the morning before the sun __20__ . We started climbing up before it was light . It

gets

too

hot

for

climbing

of tea.”

“OK, Dad,” said his son. But he was afraid

his son couldn

t remember this, he

wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his

small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.

Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there

was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he

burnt it that evening.

The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was

standing at the door and said, “Where is your father?”

The boy put his hand into his

pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly

remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, “No more.”

The man was very surprised. He asked, “No more? I met your father last week.

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at

all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.

About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people

began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were

so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as

much as possible.

In 1750,Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were

like policemen and were called “Bow Street Runners” because they worked near Bow

Street.

Fifty years later, there were 120 “Bow Street Runners”, but London had become

very

big

and

needed

more

policemen.

So

in

1829

,

the

first

Metropolitan(or

London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot,

but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.

Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still

ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.

“Ordinary” was the worst word my mother coul

d find for anything. I remember her taking me shopping and taking no notice of the

shop assistants when they suggested that some dress or pair of shoes was very popular

-

“we’ve

sold

fifty

already

this

week”.

That

was

all

sheneeded

to

hear.

“No”,

she

would

say,

“we’re

not

interested

in

that.

Haven’t

you

got

something

a

little

more

unusual ” And then the assistant would bring out all the strange colours no one else

would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my

mother wanted to be unusual.

“I can’t st

and that hairdo(

发型

).”she said, when I went to the hairdresser with my

friend

and

came

back

with

a

boy

haircut,

“It

is

so

terribly

ordinary.”

Not

ugly,

not

unsuitable. But ordinary...

“Couldn’t

you

please

wear

something

else

”

I

asked

one

day

when

she

w

as

dressing for Parents’ Dayin tight

-

fitting bullfighter’s pants and a bright pink sweater.

“What’s wrong with what I’m wearing ”

What wasn’t wrong with it!

“It’s

just

that

I

wish

you’d

wear

something

ordinary,”

I

said

,

“something

that

people

won’t laugh at.”

She looked at me angrily and then said ,“Are you ashamed of your own motherIf

you are, Isadora, I feel sorry for you. I really do.”

it was childish

Because she didn’t like a

pink sweater at all.

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and

activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures

——

those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of

the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are

people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only

last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You

jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the

ground

with

an

elastic

(

有弹性的

)

rope

tied

to

your

ankles.

You

fall

at

up

to

150

kilometres

an

hour

until

the

rope

stops

you

from

hitting

the

ground.

It

is

said

that

about

2

million

people

around

the

world

have

now

tried

bungee

jumping.

Other

activities

which

most

people

would

say

are

as

risky

as

bungee

jumping

include

jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff

（悬崖）

.

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest

that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long

ago,

diseases

could

not

easily

be

cured,

and

life

was

a

continuous

battle

for

survival(

生存

).

Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and

work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors

and

hospitals

to

look

after

them

if

they

become

ill.

The

answer

for

some

of

these

people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

46. A best title for the text is .

A

．

C

．

Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous?

D

jumping

B

．

are

climbing

highest

mountains

C

．

are coming close to death in sports

D

．

are looking for adventures such as

traveling into unknown places

48. In bungee jumping, you .

A

．

jump as high as you can

B

．

slide down a rope to the ground

C

．

attach(

系

) yourself to a rope and fall to the ground

D

．

fall towards the ground

without a rope

49. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because .

A

．

they have a lot of free time

B

．

they can go to hospital if they are injured

C

．

their life is short of excitement

D

they no longer need to hunt for food
