Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was travelling in France. Once he was very tired and wanted to sleep. He therefore asked the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper ."I'll strongly protest(抗议) when you try to wake me up," he said to the conductor." But do not take any notice, just put me off the train anyway."
Then Mark Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up it was night time and the train was in Paris already. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him." I have never been so angry in all my life," Mark Twain said.
The conductor looked at him calmly. "You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off the train at Dijon," he said loudly.

For a long time people who fish have had to rely on luck to catch fish. Even big fishing ships, fitted with radar and modern equipment, have their share of bad days. Wouldn't it be nice if fish could be trained to come at the call of a whistle the way some dogs do?
Well, the days of "fish whistle" may be just around the corner. Japanese companies are working methods that will train fish to return to harvest areas at the sound of an underwater whistle.
The method works like this: First, fish eggs are hatched in a laboratory. Whenever feeding time arrives, a whistle sounds. The young fish learn to return to their feeding areas at the sound of whistle.
Later, the fish are released(放出) at sea, near specially-made underwater barns(仓库).There, the whistle-plus-feeding program continues.
Being well fed and sheltered(保护),the fish continue to "hang out" and around the "barn". So when fishing time arrives, all the harvesters need to do is to sound the whistle, drop their nets, and haul up a load of fish.
Many countries have closed their offshore fishing waters to ship from other nations. With fish whistles and barns, Japanese hopes to become less dependent on(依赖) importing fish from other countries.
50. This passage as a whole is about __________.
A. hatching fish eggs B. a new fishing method
C. sound of whistles D. feeding fish
51. While not mentioned in this passage, you can tell ________.
A. the whistle sounds all day
B. radar can always help catch a lot of fish
C. men are looking to the sea for more food
D. the days of "fish whistle" perhaps are not far away
52. Which one of these sentences is NOT true?
A. The fish are used to the whistle sound.
B. The fish live near the feeding area.
C. Young fish are trained in the laboratory.
D. Japan hopes to import more fish.
C
"We are more than halfway now; it's only two miles farther to the small hotel," said the driver.
"I'm glad of that," answered the stranger. he meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man's throat if he tried to speak. The girl's voice was something quite charming(迷人),however, and presently he spoke again.
"You don't feel the cold so much at twenty below zero out in the Western country. There's none of this damp chill(冷湿),"he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a disagreeable day, and he came to see a warm hopefulness of spirit.
"You'll have cold driving going back!" he said anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat-collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible. He had wished a dozen times for the warm old hunting coat in which he had many a day met the worst of weather in the Northwest.

One possible version:
Yesterday afternoon I happened to be buying something in a store when three men rushed in. They ordered everybody there to raise their hands. They were tall and had black cloth covering their faces. At this moment, a woman customer let out a cry as she was too frightened. One of the robbers went up to beat her. Another man hit me in the face, and took away my money. Later, the same happened to other people in the store, I think. Then the three men went away as quickly as possible.
