25、got （ D） promised 55 We found that bar at last. I didn t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought o
26、ut of the bar. They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically (无精打采地 ) with magazines. “He s not here,“ I said, after a qu
27、ick look around. The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent(洗衣粉 ), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband s underwear was after having been washed.

Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia i
32、n 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs (亲笔签名 ). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began to learn the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and write them on the title pages of old books. To r
33、educe the chance of being discovered, he sent his works to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger cant go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look
34、real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals. After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “ Stone Wal
35、l“ Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny s money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand.

36、 and Canada? （ A） There was a greater demand there than in America. （ B） There was less chance of being discovered there. （ C） Britain was Spring s birthplace. （ D） The prices were higher in England and Canada. 61 Robert Spring spent 15 years_. （ A） running a bookstore in Philadelphia （ B） writing l

When world leaders celebrated the year 2000 with a serious promise to reduce poverty (贫穷 ) and
39、hunger, check the spread of AIDS, get boys and girls into school, and improve public health, all by 2015? Well, three years down the road, and the UNDPs yearly collection of facts and figures already shows that if we carry on as we are, the only goal likely to be met is that for reducing poverty by
40、a half, and that is entirely due to the success of one country-China. It is so vast that the fast-growing economy in China lifts millions of people above the poverty line, even though in Africa, Latin America and the former Soviet Union, people have actually been getting poorer. Otherwise, progress
41、is good only in parts. East Asia should meet its goal of reducing hunger by a half by 2015, and Latin America and the Caribbean are not far behind, but at the present speed of progress, Africa and South Asia wont get there for another hundred years. The good news is that it can be done-there are suc
42、cess stories. Ghana-an economic basket case in the eighties and early nineties-has managed to find a way out of its difficulties and its now comfortably in the middle range of countries, way ahead of the much more naturally wealthy Nigeria.
