2、drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food.

I entered St. Thomass Hospital as a med

10、ical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there. I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart was not in it.

11、cepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now, and knowing the

12、 terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk.The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of 100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed. The next play he arranged to put on was not read

13、y, and he was at his wits end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind could be produced.

18、ied medicine beforePassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the last 500 years, nothing about people - not their clothes, ideas or languages - has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American I

19、ndians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1500, the Spanish b

20、rought it from Peru to Europe, where it was soon widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845-46, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that have traveled fro

21、m South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Columbia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.

22、According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered by a goatherd named Kaldi. He noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.

26、the following passage.Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure - those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across t

27、he greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place （perhaps a bridge, or a hot-air balloon） 200 me

28、tres above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour till the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping

29、from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, peoples lives were constantly under threat. They had to

30、go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement.

The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.16. The best title for the passage would be _. A. Dangerous Sports: What and Why B. The Boredom of Modern Life C. Bungee Jumping: Is It Rea
