"I ask you to drink to his health as a young man full the spirit of adventure who has lit up the world with a flash of courage." With these words, the British Minister of Air turned and raised his glass to the young man who sat beside him—a young man who, only a month before, was completely unknown. Yet, on that summer day in 1927 his name was on the world’s lips — Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly the Atlantic alone. He had been an air mail pilot, flying back and forth between Chicago and the city of St. Louis. Determined to win the $25,000 prize offered by a fellow American for the first flight from New York to Paris, Lindbergh had persuaded a group of St. Louis businessmen to finance the building of a special plane for him. The news that Lindbergh intended to fly the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief. The plane would never fly, people said. It would run out of fuel. It had only a single engine. Lloyds of London refused to insure the flight. Men called Lindbergh the "flying fool". But on May 20th, 1927, just after ten to eight in the morning, Lindbergh’s "Spirit of St. Louis", heavily laden with fuel, struggled into the air from a New York airfield. For several hours the weight of the petrol prevented the young pilot from flying more than a few feet above the wavetops. Night came and thick fog covered up the stars. Lindbergh flew steadily on, hoping that his course was the right one. He struggled to keep awake, checking the fuel all the time to keep his mind active. Through the next day the "Spirit of St. Louis" flew on over the seemingly limitless sea. Then a fishing boat appeared, and, an hour later, land. It was Ireland. Lindbergh set a compass course for Paris. By ten o’clock the lights of France’s capital were shining beneath him. Tired, unshaved, suddenly hungry, the "flying fool" came to Le Bourget airport, and landed in front of a huge crowd of wildly cheering people. After 34 hours of continuous piloting, the flight of 3,600 miles was over. The plane in which Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic was ______.
A. the mail plane he flew between Chicago and St. Louis
B. bought with $25,000 prize offered by a fellow American for that adventure
C. sponsored by some businessmen in St. Louis
D. specially built at his own expense

Joan Thomas: My husband has been reduced to the condition of a vegetable. Keeping him alive is meaningless now. I’m sure that if he could speak, he would beg us to switch off that oxygen machine. Why can’t he die of dignity Seeing him in this condition is causing us all great suffering. He has been in a coma for more than five months and is being kept alive by this machine which supplies him with oxygen. I have applied to a court for permission to have the machine switched off. I believe that he would rather have died peacefully than prolonged suffering for such a long time.Doctor Williams: Mr. Thomson is clinically alive, but he has absolutely no chance of recovery. His brain has been irreparably damaged by the coma. He could remain in this condition for years. Frankly speaking, that would benefit nobody. Hospital beds are scarce and medical staff are very busy. Hundreds of patients are waiting to be treated. I would be wrong to keep Mr. Thomson here and to refuse other patients who do have a chance of recovery. If his relatives request us to switch off the machine and if the court gives us the permission, we will stop all the treatment and allow him to die a natural and painless death.Doctor Fitzsim: I’m very surprised that Doctor Williams approves of Mrs. Thomas’s court application. A doctor’s duty is to save people’s life in whatever way he can. A doctor can never say definitely that his patient has no chance of recovery, however bad the situation may seem. I’ve seen patients in the same conditions suddenly regain consciousness after several months and become relatively healthy again. Human life is far too invaluable to put an end to it for the convenience of others. Medical science has made great progress over the last 20 years with the development of new drugs and operational techniques. Many diseases can now be cured and the lives of incurable patients may be prolonged.Graham Blanchard: Right now, there are thousands of incurable patients lying helplessly in bed, suffering pain and misery and wishing they could be allowed to die. But the doctors are afraid to help with their death for fear of legal or professional impact. I propose that doctors be allowed to discontinue treatment or administer lethal doses of painkillers if requested to do so by patients suffering from incurable diseases, or, in the case of Mr. Thomas, by their relatives. It’s time the law recognized the fact the people not only have a right to live in dignity, they also have the right to die in dignity too.Sidney Best: Any doctor who, with the intention of putting an end to the life of a patient, performs acts which lead to the death of patient, may be convicted of murder, under the present law. No court is empowered to give the right to do such acts and therefore Mrs. Thomson’s application is certain to be rejected. But if parliament passes Mr. Blanchard Bill, the situation will change drastically. Doctors will be given the right to kill patients on request, thus making helpless patients in all kinds of dangers. There might be conspiracy between doctors and potential heirs, spouses wishing to remarry, even potential receivers of organ transplants. The intention of this Bill many be good, but the possibilities of abuse are too numerous for it to be passed. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] A doctor’s duty is to save his patient’s life not to end it.[B] Doctors should be given the right to decide whether to stop an incurable patient’s life.[C] My husband should be given the right to die of dignity.[D] It would be better for everyone that Mr. Thomas die a natural and painless death.[E] Doctors are afraid of mercy killing.[F] We should not pass the Bill for mercy killing, simply because it would put many patients’ lives in danger.[G] People have the right to die in dignity.

I did not know the city at all and, what is more, I couldn’t speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day sight-seeing in the town-center, I decided to lose my way deliberately on my second day, since I believed that this was the surest way of getting to know my way around. I got on the first bus that passed and descended some thirty minutes later in what must have been a suburb. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. I discovered mysterious little book-shops in back streets and finally arrived at a market-place where I stopped and had coffee in an open-air calf. Then I decided to get back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about aimlessly for some time, I determined to ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived — and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to asked a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he thrust the paper into my hands. Seeing that it would be impossible to argue about the matter, I gave him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was an old lady who was buying vegetables. She was very hard of hearing and I repeated the word several times. When she finally heard me, she seemed to take offence and began shouting and shaking her walking-stick at me. I hurried away quickly and was relieved to see a policeman on a corner. He certainly would be able to help me. The policeman listened attentively to my question, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a distant look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. He glanced at me for approval, and repeated the performance. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and green fields were appearing on either side on me. I had come all the way into the country. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway-station! It can be inferred that ______.
A. the writer must have misunderstood the policeman when the latter showed him the way
B. the policeman must have pointed him a wrong direction
C. the writer couldn’t tell the right from the left
D. the railway station was the only house in sight
