_________
[A] Although no such evidence was presented, the casino’s marketing department continued to pepper him with mailings. And he entered the casino and used his Fun Card without being detected.
[B] It is unclear what luring was required, given his compulsive behavior. And in what sense was his will operative?
[C] By the time he had lost $5,000 he said to himself that if he could get back to even, he would quit. One night he won $5,500, but he did not quit.
[D] Gambling has been a common feature of American life forever, but for a long time it was broadly considered a sin, or a social disease. Now it is a social policy: the most important and aggressive promoter of gambling in America is government.
[E] David Williams’s suit should trouble this gambling nation. But don’t bet on it.
[F] It is worrisome that society is medicalizing more and more behavioral problems, often defining as addictions what earlier, sterner generations explained as weakness of will.

Then he would examine the straw very carefully to see {A. that; B. whether; C. how; D. where} he could find anything, after which he would look in all the man’s pockets before he let him tie the straw again. The man would then put it on his bike and go off down the hill with it. Although Peter was always hoping to find gold or other valuable things hidden in the straw, he never found {A. nothing; B. something; C. everything; D. anything}.

"But I have not had any fried fish!" he said.
"But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell of my fried fish with your rice and veg- etables," said the woman, "If you had not smelled the fish, your meal would not have been so pleasant !"
Soon a crowd collected, and although they supported the poor traveler, they had to ad- mit that wind was blowing from the shop to the place where he had eaten, and that it had carried the smell of the fried fish to him.
Finally, the woman took the poor traveler to a judge, who said, "The woman says that the traveler ate his meal with the smell of her fried fish. The traveler agrees that the wind was blowing the smell of her fried fish to his nose while he was eating, so he must pay for it." "What does your fried fish cost?" he asked the woman.
"Twenty-five cents a plate," she answered delighted.
"Then go outside together," said the judge. "There the traveler must hold up a twenty five-cent piece so that a shadow(影子) falls on the woman's hand. The price of the smell of a plate of fried fish is the shadow of twenty-five cents."
Why did the traveler refuse to pay the woman for the fried fish? Because______.
A.he was poor
B.he was rude
C.he was supported by a crowd
D.he hadn't eaten her fried fish at all
Read the following passage and tell if the statements are true, false or not given. Holiday home When we went on holiday last year to a small town near London, my father knew all the landmarks. He knew that we had to turn right at the big church in the middle of town to find the road that finally led to our holiday house. He knew that there was a supermarket near our holiday house. He knew that to get to the swimming pool all we had to do was just go around the corner from our house and cycle two kilometers. He told us all this before we even got to the town. But the amazing thing was that he had never been to this town before. He knew more details than a map would show. He knew, for example, that the name of the supermarket was Cresco. He informed us that the house next to our holiday home had a red door, cats and at least one child. How did he know all this? He said that he had looked at Google Street View in order to find out what the town was like before deciding that this was a good place to spend the summer holidays. He even knew that there was a golf course and an indoor climbing center in or near the town. We knew that there were bikes at the holiday house so my father checked whether there were bike paths. He said that there were plenty of bike paths and we could reach almost every place without cycling on the roads although, he added, there was not that much traffic. Shtatement: The house had bicycles the family could use.
