27、   A trip to a bank's ATM machine is usually a common affair, but for Jose Nunez Romaniz, his visit on a Sunday is one that he will remember for the rest of his life. The 19-year-old was helping his grandfather buy a pair of socks online when he noticed his account balance was low. So he drove to the nearest Wells Fargo to put money into his bank account. Little did he know, he was about to make an incredible discovery.

When he arrived at the ATM machine, Jose noticed a clear plastic bag on the ground filled with cash. It turned out to be $135,000 worth of $50 and $20 bills. When he first saw it, he stared at it for a few seconds, not knowing what to do. He was very shocked. He had never seen so much money. After taking a moment to collect himself, Jose did what he knew was the right thing: he called the police. They soon discovered that the money had accidentally been left behind by a worker tasked with refilling the ATM.

Jose's childhood dream has been to work in law enforcement(执法机关)himself and currently studies criminal justice at Central New Mexico Community College. Local businesses have showered Jose with rewards. He has received gift cards from local restaurants, sports gear，and season tickets for University of New Mexico football offered by ESPN radio. He was also given a $500 scholarship from an electric company. And, perhaps best of all, the police chief invited Jose to apply for a job as a public service assistant for the department. “It was also the best gift for Mother’s Day. She called me and almost started crying… She told me she was proud of me,” Jose Nunez Romaniz said.

28、I came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Greek and Grass Greek. Others came too, and we made these little grey houses of logs that you see, and they are square, It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square.

You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the respectful circle of the nation, and so long as the circle was unbroken, the people were getting rich. The flowering tree was the living center of the circle, and the circle of the four quarters nursed it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave warmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and strong wind gave strength and continuous power. This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our brief. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. Birds make their nests in circle, for theirs are the same as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our places were like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation’s circle, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to nurse our children.

But the Wasichus (Indian word for “white people”) have put us in these square boxes. Our power is gone and we are dying, for the power is not in us any more. You can look at our boys and see how it is with us. Where we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should, boys were men at twelve or thirteen years of age. But now it takes them very much longer to be full - grown.

【1】According to the passage, the Indians _______.

A. don’t have modern instruments in their homes

B. refused to move from round places

C. lived in round places, but were forced to live in square houses

D. lived in round places, but then decided to move into square houses

【2】Two things being compared in the passage are _______.

A. the Indians’ past and present living conditions

B. the Indians’ past and modern beliefs

C. the Indians’ old and new power

D. people and nature

【3】In the second paragraph “the four quarters” refers to _______.

A. the four rooms of the Indian’s house

B. the four kinds of natural power

C. the four seasons

D. the four directions

【4】According to the author, once the Indians moved into square houses, _______.

A. they had to move to other houses

B. boys took more time to grow into men

C. they forgot the old way of life

D. everyone was not happy

29、   In the past, before alarm clocks were invented, what did people depend on to wake them up in the morning? Roosters.

“ A rooster’s crow symbolizes the break of dawn in many countries,” Takashi Yoshimura, professor at Nagoya University in Japan, told National Geographic. They are known to regularly crow two to three times at dawn.

However, scientists have long been unsure about why the animals do this. “It wasn’t clear whether crowing is under the control of a biological clock or is simply response to external stimuli.”

Roosters do react to the environment-such as car headlights-at any time of day. So it was previously thought that the increasing light in the morning might be the trigger for roosters’ crowing.

But Yoshimura and his colleagues now claim to have finally figured out the reason-roosters don’t need morning light to know when to start crowing; they will crow at the same time every day regardless of whether they can see dawn breaking.

In the study, which was published in the journal Current Biology, researchers placed 40 roosters in a soundproof, windowless room under dim lighting for 24 hours. But this didn’t deter the roosters. No matter what, they kept crowing in the morning just before dawn.

“It is proof that the behavior is caused by circadian rhythm”, said Yoshimura. In short, the roosters are genetically programmed to crow at a certain time every 24 hours.

Most animals, as well as plants, have such an internal time-keeping system. That’s why we tend to eat, sleep and exercise at around the same time every day. By consciously being aware of the schedule, our body has a chance to adapt to it, so keeping a regular biological clock is often tied to good health.

This experiment is the first of its kind to investigate the timing of roosters’ crowing. Kristen Navara, a scientist at the University of Georgia in the US who was not involved in the study, said that she wasn’t sure why no one had taken a closer look at this well-known phenomenon before.

“I think this is a very interesting study and something that should have been done a long time ago.” said Navara.

【1】What has been recently discovered to make roosters crow in the morning？

A.External stimuli like noises. B.Their biological clocks.

C.Exposure to morning light. D.Increased temperature.

【2】What does the underlined word “deter” mean in Paragraph 6?

A.Prevent. B.Attract. C.Encourage. D.Upset.

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A.Roosters have the same circadian rhythms as humans.

B.Following our biological clocks is good for our health.

C.Dark conditions can have some effect on roosters’ crowing.

D.Roosters’ biological clocks will change to help them adapt to the environment.

【4】How would Kristen Navara describe Yoshimura’s study?

A.Worthless. B.Meaningful C.Boring. D.Unscientific.

30、When I was in school, I took an internship (实习期的工作). This meant that I would spend time with some hospital _________.
