Immediately ,realizing the seriousness of the whole incident, he moved to a ground floor room with a small waiting-room to look into the matter himself, l

25、eaving his second-in -com-man to take over all other cases.He interviewed the first witness （证人）almost at once, making sure that everything was done that could be done to put him at his ease. However, the witness was obviously nervous and Burton took great pains to go over what he said thoroughly, h

26、oosing and checking each word carefully and taking t he man s statement down himselfThe witness had called th e police and he d waited until the ambulances began to arrive then when the first police car arrived on the scene he asked to report to the station which was what he had done.Burton explaine

27、d that regrettably it would be necessary for him to go to court because of the serious nature of the disaster. More he could not say at present. He d be thankful if the man could keep in touch with the police.When he had gone, Burton put his head in his hands and considered before asking for the nex

28、t witness. The man couldn t be regardachandred percent witness because he had been behind a wall when the explosion occurred. But in spite of his nerves, Burton had the impression that he was dependable, not afraid of relating himself to it and a fairly exact observer.Well there would be other descr

29、iptions and no doubt all these would be put into place and the whole picture would become clear. He raised his head and pressed the bell on his desk.“Next witness please, he said.Why did Burton move to the ground floor when he heard of the incident ?A . Because the ground floor room had a small wait

30、ing -room.B . Because it would be easier for him to interview the witnesses.C. Because he was not pleased to work on the top floor.D .

33、Until very recent times people worked each day to the limit of their strength. Of course there were always a privileged （ 有特权的）few who had leisure; but most men had to work 12, 14, or even 16 hours a day, six days a week. As late as 1840 the average factory worker labored 72 hours a week. Sunup to s

34、undown was the farmers day, or as another phrase puts it, from can to cant.Today, working less than a 40-hour week, people enjoy more leisure time. Therefore, the wise use of leisure time has become an important problem for everyone, young or old. It is a particularly difficult problem for the sick,

35、 the aged, and those who have retired from earning a living. Those people have so much leisure that it is hard for them to find interesting and worthwhile ways to use it .However short the work week becomes, work is still the most important part of life. We do not work to get leisure and the pleasur

36、es leisure brings us; rather, we use leisure wisely so that work itself can become awarding and enjoyable. The feeling of success at doing ones daily work whether it is a job, maintaining a home, or going to school depends largely on coming to it each day with fresh energy and active interest.Leisur

37、e and recreation （消遗）go together, though they are not necessarily the same thing.Recreation has an obvious meaning. It is the kind of leisure activity that brings re-creation of strength and spirit. When one speaks of making good use of leisure, he means choosing recreational activities which contri

38、bute to health, growth, and spirit.60.How to spend leisure time wisely is not a particularly difficult problem for people.who are very busy everydaywho are sick in bedwho are aged and in good healthwho have retired from workt can be inferred from the passage that.we work hard so that we can enjoy mo

What is the relationship between leisure and recreation, according to the author?Leisure a

40、nd recreation are closely related.Leisure and recreation are the same.Recreation covers all kinds of leisure activities.Recreation does not belong to any leisure activity. 63. From the passage we know that.leisure has been an old problem since ancient timesleisure can not be replaced as the most imp

41、ortant part of lifeour success in work is mostly determined by whether we use leisure wiselygood recreational activities can help improve health, growth and spiritCBuy now, pay later. Credit cards give people that choice. Those billions of small pieces of plastic in use all over the world make it ea

42、sy to buy things. But people who use credit cards unexpectedly can soon find themselves heavily in debt.Cardholders may not think about it, but they borrow money from a bank or other lender each time they charge something. They avoid interest charges if they pay their bill in full each month. But if

43、 they only make the minimum payment, the lowest required, it may take years to pay off a debt. Interest is continually charged on the unpaid amount of money.A credit card may have a number of costs. First, there is the interest charge on purchases, known as the annual percentage rate, or A.P.R. In t

44、he United States right now, the average is between thirteen and fourteen to keep them. Cardholders may have to pay cash advance fees if they withdraw （取）money from a credit card. There are also fees if they go over their credit limit, or if a payment is late. Lenders may also raise interest rates as

45、 punishment.In the United States, credit card fees have become a political problem. Congress hasthreatened （威胁）to take action against what critics call abusive behavior by lenders. Yet getting a credit card has become a lot easier for most people. Maybe too easy: People receive offers in the mail of

46、 pre-approved cards that they never asked for. Many cards offer low rates at first, especially if people agree to move their balance from another card, absolutely for free.About half of all Americans have at least two credit cards. And the credit rating agency Experian says fourteen percent of the p

47、opulation has more than ten. Jeanne Hogarth at the Federal Reserve, the central bank, says the average family has four credit cards. But families that carry a balance, meaning they do not pay off their statements each month, have an average of five.In 1988 Americans had three hundred thirty billion

48、dollars in credit card debt. Last year it was eight hundred forty billion. In the latest government study, the average credit card debt for all households was more than three thousand dollars. But for those that carried a balance, the average was five thousand three hundred.Credit cardholders can pr

While an

52、y of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher le

53、vel of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report mentions two main causes: increasing physical isolation brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing feeling that

54、the world is a more dangerous place.Considering that we cant turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation deal with it.At the top of the list is to develop a better appreciation of the limits of individualism.
