A
　　Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended ,as there are a whole lot of antique（古董）shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't oven look at my chair.
　　The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
　　I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”
　　Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ”“I'll buy it,”I said. “What do you mean？ You’ve just sold it to me,”he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’ “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused（感到有趣）by the whole thing.

　　Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since they, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
　　The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化）took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots（根）,and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.
　　60．The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
　　A. life on land probably began 430 years ago
　　B. the first animal on land came from oceans
　　C. there wouldn't be animals without plants
　　D. plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy
　　61．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
　　A. Algae has existed for more than 430 million years.
　　B. It is impossible that algae might be the earliest plant on land.
　　C. Plants get food from animals in the oceans.
　　D. Evolution began after animals appeared on land.
　　62．Plants with roots appeared about ________ million years ago.
　　A. 430　　　　　B. 300　　　　　 C. 330　　　　　 D. 100
　　63．According to the passage, ________ appeared earlier than ________.
　　A. apples; oranges　　　　　　　　 B. oranges; apples
　　C. oranges; roses　　　　　　　　　D. algae; wheat
