A British man has been reunited with his leather wallet—nearly twenty years after it was lost during a train ride across Switzerland.
It appears no one stole anything during the 18 years that Colin Mendoza's wallet was missing as it still contains the passport and his credit cards(信用卡)，driving license，receipts and an identification card from an old job.But where it was all this time and how it was discovered remains a mystery.
Colin still isn't certain how he lost the wallet while traveling by train from Zurich Airport to Geneva in 1996.He fell asleep on the train and didn't realize it was missing until he was getting into a car in Geneva.He reported it missing to the police.
Years passed and Colin forgot about the incident until he received an e-mail from a police officer in the tiny Swiss mountain town of Chur.It turns out someone found the wallet on the floor of a shopping centre in Chur and handed it in to local police.After a quick search online an officer found his e-mail address.
Colin，50，said：“When I received the e-mail I thought that was unexpected and happened suddenly.I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.”Colin said the wallet itself－a birthday gift from his wife－is in good condition and showing few signs of additional wear and tear.“I'm amazed at its good condition and that it had my entire old ID －my passport，driving license，old company ID and all my credit cards.”Colin said the police haven't figured out how the wallet ended up in Chur.
A police spokesman said：“We have no idea how it found its way from the train to a shopping centre.But the_man was happy to have it recovered.”

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
External bleeding.Apply direct pressure.Place a clean，folded cloth over the injured area and firmly apply pressure.If blood soaks through，do not remove it.Instead，cover that cloth with another one and continue to apply pressure to the wound for 7－10 minutes.If the bleeding is from the ear，place a clean bandage over the ear，lay the victim on his side，and allow the blood to drain out through the bandage.
Elevate the injury.Position the wounded part of the body above the level of the heart if possible while you apply direct pressure.
Know the pressure points.If direct pressure and elevation don't sufficiently slow the bloodflow，find a pressure point.Large arteries(动脉)found close to the skin's surface supply blood to the head and to each arm and leg.The most common pressure points used during the first aid are located in the upper arms and in the creases above the upper legs.Apply pressure to the closest pressure point to the wound so that the artery is pressed between your fingers and the bone directly behind the artery.If using the pressure point on a leg，you may need to use the heel of your hand instead of your fingers.
Resort to a tourniquet(止血带，压脉器)．On very rare occasions everything listed above may fail.To prevent the victim from dying，you should apply a tourniquet.Once a tourniquet is applied，it should not be loosened or removed until the victim has reached medical help.Use a tourniquet only if everything listed above has failed.If you use a tourniquet，write down somewhere on the victim the time when it was applied，so medical persons will know how long it has been in place.
1.According to the passage，if a person is wounded and bleeding，you should ________．
A．cover the wound with a clean，folded cloth and press it

2.If blood soaks through the cloth，you should ________．
A．change a clean one immediately
B．wash the wound at once
C．press the wound firmly with your hand
D．cover the one with another one and press it

A．it is better to put the injured part above the head to stop bleeding

Lincoln Park
With its many fashion shops and coffee shops，Lincoln Park is also a wonderful part of Chicago which is a delight for people to visit.The Chicago History Museum shows typical Americas，and then of course there's the park itself.Facing Lake Michigan，it offers beaches，wildlife signs and Lincoln Park Zoo，where you can see gorillas(大猩猩) and polar bears free of charge.

The Loop－Downtown
Home to the Civic Opera House，the Goodman Theatre，and the Art Institute of Chicago，where American masterpieces can be found alongside Old Masters，the Loop is worth visiting just for the streets alone.Look up at some of the USA's most famous skyscrapers(摩天大楼)，and there is Grant Park－a wonderful place with the huge Buckingham Fountain at its centre.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
Dear Harry，
You ask me whether you should spend the next three years at university，or get a job.I will give you three different answers.Take_your_pick.
Answer A．You are ambitious.Your sights are set on going to the top，in business or the government.In today's high-tech times，big companies cannot be managed by uneducated amateurs.Even the middle managers are at a disadvantage unless they get a university degree and an MBA.Same thing in government.
Anyway，you are too young to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life.If you spend the next few years at university，you will get to know the world—and yourself—before the time comes to choose your career.
Answer B．Stop wasting your time on academia(学术界)．Stop subjecting yourself to the boredom of textbooks and classrooms.Stop cramming for exams(应考)before you acquire a strong love for reading.
The lack of a college degree will only be a slight influence on your career.In Britain，you can still get to the top without a degree.What industry and the government need at the top is not experts but leaders.The character traits(性格特点)which make people scholars in their youth are not the traits which make them leaders in later life.You put up with education for 12 boring years.
Answer C．Don't judge the value of higher education in terms of careemanship.Judge it for what it is—a priceless opportunity to furnish your mind and enrich the quality of your life.My father was a failure in business，but he read Horace in the washroom until he died，poor but happy.
If you enjoy being a scholar，and like the company of scholars，go to a university.Who knows，you may end your days as a Regius Professor.And bear in mind that British universities are still the best in the world.You have a first-class mind.Stretch it.If you have the opportunity to go to a university，don't pass it up.You would never forgive yourself.
Tons of love，
David
