A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment. The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite(套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that had occupied several years before. The former President’s wife was still living in the White House. Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain. Coolidge spoke, “ I wish you wouldn’t take that.” The thief, gaining his voice, said, “ Why?” “ I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm(表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back,” the president said. The thief read, “ Presented to Calvin Coolidge.” “ Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. The president answered, “ Yes, and the House of Representatives(众议院)gave me the watch charm. I’m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let’s talk this over.” Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “ I’ll take this and leave everything else.” Coolidge, knowing there was 80 dollars in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill. Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out 32 dollars and said it was a loan(借款). He then told the young man, “ There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered. 1.What caused the thief to meet the President A. He knew the president had lots of money. B. He knew the president lived in the suite. C. He wanted to be a rich businessman. D. He wanted to steal some money. 2.Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days? A. Because the former president was still in the White House. B. Because the former First Lady hadn’t left the White House. C. Because the First lady liked to live there. D. Because he liked there. 3. Coolidge counted out 32 dollars______. A. in order not to be killed by the thief B. in order to be out of danger C. so as to help the young student overcome his difficulty. D. because he had no more money. 4.The young man’s roommate went back to college _____. A. by air B. by water C. by bus D. by train 5.Which of the following might happen afterwards? A.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight.They hit one another hard.At the start they only fight with their fists.But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs.And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below.He is dead! Of course he isn't really dead.With any luck he isn't even hurt.Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catching fire, are professionals.They do this for a living.These men are called stuntmen.That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work.They actually do most of the things you see on the screen.For example, they fall from a high building.However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress.Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training.Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing.For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives.They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed.A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high.His parachute failed to open, and he was killed.In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only.Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action.For nowadays there are stuntwomen too. 1.Stuntmen are those who ________. A.often dress up as actors B.prefer to lead dangerous lives C.often perform seemingly dangerous actions D.often fight each other for their lives 2.Stuntmen earn their living by ________. A.playing their dirty tricks B.selling their special skills C.jumping out of high windows D.jumping from fast moving trains 3.When a stuntman falls from a high building, ________. A.he needs little protection B.he will be covered with a mattress C.his life is endangered D.his safety is generally all right 4.Which of the following is the main factor(因素)of a successful performance? A.Strength B.Exactness C.Speed D.Carefulness
