A tough-looking biker had been in the biker bar for quite some time. He had a few drinks alone, feeling much better after a long tiring day, and finally decided it was time to hit the road once again. However, when he walked out of the bar, he realized that his bike was not there. “Someone took it, again!” He got really angry.
“All right,” he said loudly, coming back into the busy biker bar, “I’m going to have one more drink and if my bike isn’t back by the time I’m done, what happened in Detroit will happen here, too!”
With that, many of the bikers ran out of the bar in a hurry. A moment later, one short biker came back and said to the tough guy, “Sir, your bike is now parked in front of the bar for you. Please don’t let what happened in Detroit happen here!”
The tough guy was happy to hear this. When he finished his drink and was about to leave, a man who sat next to him asked, “Excuse me, but what happened in Detroit?”

Do you ever enjoy people-watching? Try sitting down on a park bench with a coffee, watching the busy city life. You are but one person in this big, crazy world.

Are you outgoing or shy? Do you prefer to be alone or with people? A research from the National Pen Company in the US says that your handwriting can tell about your personality according to how you space your letters, sign your name, etc.
Here are some of the study results:
Size
The size of someone’s handwriting can show the type of personality they have. People with small handwriting tend to be shy, careful and hard-working, while outgoing people who love attention will have large handwriting. People who write with a medium size are usually realistic, balanced and work well with others or by
oneself.
Spacing between words
People who leave large space between words enjoy their freedom and don’t like to be crowded, while people who write words close together can’t stand to be alone.
Slant（倾斜）
If handwriting slants to the right, the person is open to new experiences and enjoys meeting new people. If handwriting slants to the left, that person needs to keep themselves to themselves. People whose handwriting doesn’t slant in either direction are logical and practical（注重逻辑的和实际的）.
47. According to the passage, how you _______ can tell people about your personality.
A. read B. write C. speak
48. “Narrow spacing” means to leave _______between words.
A. large B. enough C. small
49. According to the study results, people who write with _______ are usually shy, careful and hard-working.
A. small size B. wide spacing C. slant to the left

Yes, it’s still 2013, but as USA Today says, “it’s never too early to plan your 2014 travels”. With so many hot destinations (目的地) around the globe, “where should I go?” can be difficult to answer. According to Lonely Planet, though, Brazil is a fine choice — on Oct 29, the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2014.
“As if the fantastic beaches and rainforests（雨林） didn’t already make a travel spotlight, Brazil will hold two of the greatest sporting events in the world: the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.” explained Lonely Planet.
Brazil is the largest country in South America. When talking about Brazil, the first thing that comes to your mind might be the Amazon jungle, which is home to a great number of plants and animals. But this is
not the only thing that Brazilians take pride in.
The colors green and yellow might remind people more of Brazil’s soccer team than its national flag. Soccer is more than a sport in Brazil; it’s a way of life.
Samba, the country’s most traditional dance, is another feature of Brazil. People dance and have fun every February at the Rio Carnival. （里约狂欢节）
Why not consider visiting Brazil? It might not just be a nation of samba, soccer and beaches!

A. travel guide B. sporting event C. traditional dance

A new library called Biblio Tech opened up in September 2013 in San Antonio, Texas, US. But here is the thin- there is not a single book in it. Instead, there are iPads, laptops and desktop computers to use and 500 e-readers to borrow. This is the world’s first ”bookless” library.
“Our library is stored in the cloud, so you don’t have to get a book.” Laura Cole from Biblio Tech told CNN. Right now the library has 10,000 e-books and is trying to add more.
The idea of a bookless library no longer seems so new since e-books have been around for quite some time. At the end of 2012,23% of Americans aged 16 and older read e-books, up from 16% the year before. At the same time, the number of Americans who read a paper book fell from 72% to 67%.
“Not all libraries are going to be like us,” Nelson Wolff, a local official(官员) said , “But we sure hope it’s going to drive them to do more. The world is changing, and libraries can’t stay the same if they want to be more helpful.”
Also, Biblio Tech is especially convenient to people in this low-income(低收入的) neighborhood because 40% of the families don’t have a computer.
57. Biblio Tech is called a “bookless” library because there aren’t any ____ in it.
A. books B. computers C. assistants
58. At the end of 2012, 23% of Americans aged 16 and older read as Picture ____ shows.
59. According to the 3rd paragraph, _____ Americans read paper books in 2012.

61. The writer thinks that_____.
