Terry Thomas has a very boring job, although it pays very well. What Terry does is sitting in a rowboat all day long. He makes $16.37 an hour, which is certainly an excellent wage for sitting in a little boat and doing nothing.
The boat stays all day under a bridge that is being rebuilt. There is a distance of about 100 feet between the boat and the workers on the bridge overhead. The rest of Terry’s fellow workers are up on the bridge working. Terry’s job is to rescue anyone who falls off the bridge into the water. So far, no one has given him anything to do. Although he’s delighted that none of his companions has fallen into the water, he also admits that the job is very boring because there is nothing to do.
No one on the work crew really wants duty on the boat. But the job is a union requirement, and it must be filled. To qualify for the job, a person must be an excellent swimmer and have training in lifesaving skills. Only a few men on the work crew meet those standards. Before Terry took the boat job, several others had it and gave up because they found it so tedious.
What does Terry do in his little boat all day? He spends a good bit of time making sure that his suntan lotion(防晒剂) is proper for the job of protecting his skin. He reads and listens to the radio. Each day he looks forward to lunch and then to quitting time.

C. his shirt is torn
D. it keeps the fly away
4. The best part of Terry’s job is________.

When Xia Min started drinking alcohol with classmates to celebrate her friend’s birthday, she didn’t realize a tragedy was drawing near. She drank a lot and fell into a coma(昏迷). The 15-year-old girl from Chongqing never recovered, leaving great sorrow for her family and friends.
Xia’s death is a warning to other students and society. As more and more teenagers are drinking alcohol, the government has passed a new rule to stop them.
Teens are not allowed to buy or drink alcohol. Shops are not allowed to sell it to them and must display warning signs. The rule went into effect on January 1, 2006.
A 1999 Chinese law forbade shops to sell alcohol to underage youths. But it is not taken seriously by shopkeepers because it lacks specific punishments.
Experts hope the new rule will work. It sets a 2,000 yuan fine for those who sell alcohol to underage youths.
China doesn’t have a legal drinking age. But in China “underage” has been understood to mean under 18.
“I tasted alcohol when having the dinner of the last New Year’s Eve,” said Liang Yuqi, a 16-year-old girl in Xiamen. She believes that the new rule will stop students’ curiosity about alcohol and help them grow in a healthy way. “Although it may be a little disappointing not to have beer at celebrations, I think soft drinks can be served as well,” she said.
1. The passage is mainly about______.
A. the harmful effects of drinking alcohol
B. the legal age for drinking alcohol
C. a new rule to stop the underage drinking
D. students’ ideas about drinking alcohol
2. What can we know from the passage?
A. According to the new rule, it is illegal for underage youths to drink alcohol.
B. In China there has been no law to forbid shops to sell alcohol to underage youths.
C. Without an ID card, young people can’t buy alcohol.
D. It seems that the young girl, Liang Yuqi, likes to drink alcohol.
3. We can conclude from the passage that_____.
A. China’s legal drinking age is clearly defined to be under 18
B. whether the new rule can work still remains to be seen
C. shoppers for alcohol must show their proof of age
D. many teens prefer to drink alcohol to show they’ve grown up
