In this small town there was not a single man of importance who would dare to have a housekeeper younger than sixty, for fear of what people might say 36 . However, when I needed a housekeeper I chose a girl called Cathey, a lovely little girl of seventeen from a village 37 the coast. But I made my choice 38 . After a few days' consideration over the matter and an early telephone call to her, I 39 out there one day in my Fiat when she was at home, and I had a look at the cottage and a talk with her mother over a 40 of teas, and after that I did not need anyone to say that she was 41 . I knew if there was anything Cathey did not do 42 , her mother would not 43 long to correct her. After that there was only one question to raise.
“Have you a 44 , Cathey?” said I.
“No, doctor, I have not,” said she with a simple expression that did not 45 me a bit. As a doctor, you soon 46 innocent (无邪的) looks.
“Well, you'd better 47 and get one,” I said, “ 48 I'm not going to take you." At this she laughed. After what seemed only a short time, she came and started working at my house. And you guess 49 ?

A
Waterland, California, June 26, 2001—two cars dropped from sight, falling into the bottom of a 40-foot deep sinkhole which appeared suddenly. At a town 12 miles from Waterland, two bedrooms of one house dropped into a hole 60 feet across and 35 feet deep part of the next house hung dangerously over the hole.
Sinkholes have been happening without warning in this part of California for years. So far there is no way to predict (预告) when or where one will appear. But when one does, others usually follow in the same area, usually along a straight line.
The worst sinkhole in recent years appeared in 1996. It was 70 feet across and 150 feet deep. It destroyed one house, damaged several others and broke the walls of a city block. One hole, 15 feet deep, opened up this year in the middle of a highway, 19 seconds after a car had driven by. Others in the same area took place at night damaging houses, swallowing up trees and parts of streets and making 23 frightened people run away from their homes in night clothes.
Sinkholes happen when the weather is dry. The earth at the surface begins to drop into empty space under the ground, like sand falling in huge hourglass (沙漏). This is how a sinkhole is formed.
56. From the text we know sinkholes do not happen .
A. during the period of wet weather B. in a straight line
C. in the dry season D. at night
57. Sinkholes take place because .
A. there are large holes under houses
B. Waterland has an underground lake
C. there are too many heavy things such as cars and houses on the surface of the earth
D. dry earth moves and fills underground holes
58. Which of the following is not referred to in the text?
A. Sinkholes cause car accidents B. Sinkholes destroy houses
C. Sinkholes kill people D. Sinkholes damage streets
59. This text mainly tells us that
A. sinkholes have been happening in the Waterland area and causing some damage
B. sinkholes always happen without any warning
C. even drivers cannot keep away from sinkholes
D. why a sinkhole happens and how its name is formed
B
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by rightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who had read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the ground that (因为) they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, and I must say so peculiarly that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
60. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is .
A. repeated without any change B. treated as a joke
C. made some changes by a parent D. set in the present
61. The advantage claimed (提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it .
A. makes them less fearful
B. develops their power of memory
C .makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
62. The author's mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that .
A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
63. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that .
A. they are full of imagination
B. they are just stories which are far from the truth
C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach
