Passage A

Once there was a boy called AN, a poor farmer's son. As he was going home one evening, he saw an old man lying by the side of the road, badly ill. The boy was very kind, and he took the old man to the nearest hospital. The old man thanked the boy and asked him for his name. The boy didn't want to tell him that his father was a poor farmer. So he said, My name is Mark, and my father is a very famous teacher. A few days later, the old man died in the hospital and left all his money to Mark, a teacher's son. Of course, because AN didn't tell him his real name, he did not receive any money at all.

Passage B

A man went to a fast-food restaurant to buy his lunch. Hi, a worker said: May I help you?

I'd like a hamburger, large chips, and a Coke, the man said.

Anything else? the worker asked.

No, the man answered. That's it.

Is that for here or to go? the worker asked.

To go, the man said.

The worker put the man's lunch in a bag. The man took out his money and paid for his lunch.

Thank you, the worker said:Have a nice day.

The man took the bag and walked to a park. He sat down and opened the bag. He was surprised. There was no hamburger in the bag. There were no chips. There was no Coke. There was only money in the bag-a lot of money! The man counted the money. Two thousand dollars! Why was the money in the bag? Where was the man's lunch?

The manager of the fast-food restaurant needed to go to the bank. He put two thousand dollars in an envelope(信封). He put the envelope in a bag and put the bag down. The worker gave the manager's bag to the man by mistake. So the manager had a hamburger, chips and a Coke, and the man had two thousand dollars. What should the man do?

Passage C

In the summer of 1978 an English man named Steven was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying on the ground. The flattened wheat formed(形成)a circle about six meters across . Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.

Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the same circles in one of his fields. These circles were larger-nearly 15 meters across . That same year , another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land-one large circle between two small circles . During the following years, farmers in England found circles in their fields more and more often.

The circles are called crop circles because they usually appear in fields of wheat or corn. The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken; it keeps on growing, and the farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. What causes the crop circles?

At first, people thought that some kids were making them as a joke, or that farmers were making them to attract tourists .(In fact, in 1991, two men said they made the circles themselves, but many scientists don't believe them .) People tried to copy them: They tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn't do it. They couldn't enter a field of wheat without leaving tracks, and they couldn't flatten the wheat without breaking it.

Several times people reported seeing stranger objects near the fields where crop circles later appeared. Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space(外層空間)or the marks left by their spaceships .

Scientists who have studied the crop circles try to find out what causes them. In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment(最新高科技設備). The equipment-worth 1.8 million dollars-got nothing . But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, crop circles formed in the field behind them, which were quite different from the others. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything.

When Steven discovered the crop circles on his land in 1978, he said, It was just like something that had landed in the field from the air and gone back up again . I don't know what to make of these things.

Crop circles have appeared in England, Japan , the United States and Russia . Experts from all over the world have studied them, and they say what Steven said: They don't know what to make of these things.

1. Which picture is probably the one formed in the field behind the scientists? A

2. Flattened wheat means ___________ .

A. broken wheat B. lying wheat

C. harvested wheat D. growing wheat

3. The passage is mainly about something ___________ .

A. that is done by living things from outer space

B. that cannot be solved but found all around the world

C. that cannot be made clear or understood

D. that is discovered and copied by the farmers
