四、阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
    阅读下面短文，然后从45～5 4各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
A
The word "jaywalk" was first used in the 1910s in the city of Boston, USA.  People used the word "jay" to mean a silly(傻的) person or someone who didn't know about the city ways.  At that time, buses, cars and traffic signals (信号) were all something new.  Only people in big cities knew about them, so people used the word to talk about the newcomers to the city.  They might look silly because they were not familiar (熟悉) with these nerw things.
Today, in the United States and Canada, jaywalking is against traffic laws.  If you jaywalk, you get a warning or a fine (罚款).
But in some other countries, jaywalking is often seen in so many places that it is thought harmless, and police only catch jaywalkers when they are crossing the road too dangerously.  For example, in Britain, jaywalking is OK, and children are taught how to cross the roads safely in schools.
In Singapore, you can never jaywalk.  You get a fine of 500 Singapore dollars, about 285 US dollars, and even three months in prison (监狱) if you jaywalk for the first time.  You get a $ 2,000 fine or six months in prison if you jaywalk for the second time!
45.   What's the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.   What newcomers in cities looked like.
B.   How people in cities treated newcomers.
C.    How the word "jaywalk" came into use.
D.    Why so few people knew about the city ways.
46.  What does the word "them" in the first paragraph refer to(指代)?
A.   Buses, cars and traffic signals.
B.   Big cities.
C.   People who knew the word "jay".
D.   Newcomers.
47.  Which country punishes (处罚) the jaywalkers most seriously?
A.  The United States.             B.  Britain.
C.  Singapore.             D.  Canada.
B
Is everyone in the world clever, cool and happy except me? These are questions that students often ask themselves.  And these are natural questions to ask since most "role models (榜样)" for them:  sportsmen, pop stars and actors, are as thin as noodles.
But it isn't possible for everyone to be thin.  People all have different bodies and personalities (个性).  As a young person, your body is going through a lot of changes very quickly.  Girls especially are putting on more body fat and as their bodies change, so does their self-image ( 自我形象).  Many girls think they are fat when they really aren't.  Sometimes they think that eating. less will make them thinner and more beautiful.   But eating less can be dangerous.
Karen Carpenter, a very thin US singer who had sung the famous song "Yesterday once more",died fr6m anorexia(厌食症).  She was just a bag of bones but still thought she was fat.
When it comes to self-image, what you "feel" is more important than what you "see".  Your body is your own;your shape and size are your own.  And there are some things that you just can't change, like your height (身高) , so accept yourself for the person that you are.  Think of the good things about yourself:  your kindness and humor.  Think of the good things you've done and the times you've made your friends laugh.   This is the person that others see, and this is the person that others know.
48.   By mentioning the example of Karen Carpenter, the writer mainly tells- us NOT to
A.    believe in pop stars
B.    eat less to be thin like her
C.    care about our self-image
D.    become famous singers
49.   According to the text, young girls who are getting fat should_________.
A.    get worried about that
B.    think more of their role models
C.    treat their body changes correctly
D.    go and see a doctor as soon as possible
50.        According to the writer, what should we think about most to build up our self-image?
A.   The body.           B.   The shape.
C.   The height.          D.   Good personalities.
C

The father died before long, but his words were kept in the son's mind.    After some years; his son became an even more successful businessman.
