On April 11 Lincoln, Mrs Lincoln and two friends were spending night in talk, when Lincoln suddenly began to discuss his dreams. “I had one the other night. About 10 days ago I went to bed very 36 . I had been up 37 for important letters from the White House for a long time. I could not have been 38 in bed when I fell into sleep. I soon began to 39 . There seemed to be a dead silence about me. Then I heard sobs(抽泣)， 40 a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and 41 downstairs. There the silence was broken by some pitiful(令人可憐的) sobbing, but the mourners(送葬者)were 42 .I went from room to room, no living person was in sight; but the same mournful sounds of distress(悲痛) met me as I 43 along. It was light in all the rooms; 44 was well known to me，but 45 were all the people who were sobbing as if their hearts would 46 ? I was puzzled and frightened. What could be the 47 of all this? I kept on walking until I arrived at the East Room, which I 48 . Before me was a dead body. Around it were soldiers who were acting as 49 ; there were some people 50 pitifully. ‘‘Who is dead in the White House?” I asked.
“The president，” was the answer.
“It’s 51 !”I said to myself and was surprised. How did he die?”
“He was killed by an assassinator (暗殺者)!” was the answer.
“ 52 came a loud burst of crying from the crowd，which woke me from my dream. I slept 53 that night, and although it was 54 a dream I have been rather angry about it 55 .”

MONTREAL--He may be the world’s richest man, but that didn’t prevent Bill Gates from falling for an April Fool’s day joke by two Quebec radio comics (喜劇演員) pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
Montreal French-language station CKMF--FM said last Wednesday that staffers (工作人員) Marcantoine Audet and Sebastien Trudel had a 10-minute telephone chat with Microsoft Corp boss Gates on April 1.
The broadcast was aired on their nightly show last Tuesday and repeated last Wednesday.
“We were happy. We had been calling Microsoft persistently (堅持不懈地) for four weeks,” Trudel said.
Trudel said he and his colleague had already fooled Canadian pop singer Celine Dion and Formula One (一級方程賽車) driver Jacques Villeneuve on their show.
“This time, we wanted to give ourselves a challenge with somebody more difficult to reach,” Ttudel said.
He said he was surprised that Gates’s assistants did not check to see if it was really the prime minister’s office on the line.
Trudel said they imitated (模仿) Chretien’s heavily accented English, talking about the economy, asking about Microsoft’s Windows operating system and inviting the multibillionaire to visit a well-known Montreal strip joint (運動服合資企業).
The radio host said that Gates was not amused by the fake interview.
“He did not seem angry but he did not find it so funny,” the comic said.
Bill Gates was fooled mainly because ______.
A. his assistants were not careful enough
B. the Canadian Prime Minister helped the two comics
C. the two comics imitated the Canadian Prime Minister so well
D. it was April Fool’s Day

D. were not quite satisfied with their tricks
Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Gates ‘April Fooled’ B. Two Comics and Their Tricks

It’s impossible to determine how many people would have lost their lives without the contribution of African-American inventor Dr Charles Drew.
Charles Drew was born on June 3, 1904, in Washington, DC. His early interest was in education, but he was also an outstanding athlete. While in college, he was awarded as the man who contributed the most to sports during his four years in school. Drew’s sister Elsie suffered from tuberculosis(肺結核) and died in 1920. Her death influenced his decision to study medicine.
After becoming a doctor and working as a college instructor, Drew went to Columbia University, where he earned his Doctor of Medical Science degree. During this time he became involved in research on blood and blood transfusions.
At Columbia, he wrote a paper on “banked blood”, in which he described a technique he developed for the long-term preservation of blood plasma. Before his discovery, blood could not be stored for more than two days because of the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. Drew had discovered that by separating the plasma from the whole blood and then refrigerating them separately, they could be combined a week later for a blood transfusion. Drew became the first African American to receive a PhD in medical science.
After World War II broke out, Drew was called upon to put his techniques into practice. He was named a project director for the American Red Cross but soon quit his post after the government issued an order that blood taken from white donors should be separated from that of black donors.
On April 1, 1950, after he attended the annual free clinic at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, he and other three physicians decided to drive back home. As he was tired from spending the night before in the operating room, he lost control of his car. Drew was badly injured and was taken to Alamance General Hospital in Burlington, North Carolina. He was pronounced dead half an hour after he first received medical attention. Drew's funeral was held on April 5, 1950, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, DC.
But contrary to popular thought, he was not refused a blood transfusion by an all-white hospital. He indeed received a transfusion but was beyond the help of the doctors attending to him. As Dr. John Ford, one of the doctors who survived the accident, later explained, “We all received the very best of care. The fact that he was a Black did not in any way limit the care that was given to him.” Over the years, Drew has been considered one of the most honored figures in the medical field.
1.According to the passage, ________ might have contributed to the invention of blood banks.
A．the combination of blood cells
B．the rapid breakdown of red blood cells
C．the development of refrigerating technique
D．the technique of separating plasma from the whole blood
2.By saying “contrary to the popular thought” in the last paragraph, the writer _______.
A．can’t understand the doctors’ decision
B．indicates his concern about the popular thought
C．feels disappointed with the all-white hospital
D．means what the doctors did was out of expectation
3.We can learn from the passage that Dr Charles Drew is best remembered by people as _______. .
A．an outstanding athlete B．a college instructor
C．a medical researcher D．a project director
4.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. Charles Drew died in a medical accident.
B. African Americans were still treated unfairly in the 1940s.
C. Charles Drew was the first African American to receive a PhD.
D. Physicians refused to give Charles Drew medical attention because he was a black.
5.In which section of a magazine can we most probably find the passage?
A．People B．Health C．Culture D．Entertainment
