MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border to go to church on a Sunday cost an American ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security rules.
The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives on the Canadian border. Albert often crosses the border like the other half-dozen people of Township 15. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church. There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada as usual. The US customs station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.
Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 Americans in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.
1.We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .
A. an American working in a Canadian church B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village
C. a Canadian working in a customs station D. an American living in Township 15
2.Albert was fined because he .
A. broke the American security rules B. failed to obey traffic rules
C. worked in St. Pamphile without a pass D. damaged the gate of the customs office
3.According to paragraph 4, how can Americans in that area get home?
A. They have to drive through the town.
B. They have to race across the fields.
C. They have to drive to the mountain area.
D. They have to drive in a roundabout (绕道的) way.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Cross-country Trip. B. An Expensive Church Visit.
C. An Unguarded Border. D. A Special Border Pass.

SEOUL, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) — Hundreds of families from the two Koreas on Saturday met at the DPRK's (朝鲜人民主主义人民共和国) Mount Kumgang resort (度假胜地)in the first government-arranged reunion since the inauguration（就职）of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.
Earlier in the day, 96 South Koreans, of whom more than three-quarters were at the age of 70 or older, crossed the inter-Korean border（韩朝边界）, heading for the Kumgang resort to meet their families separated by the 1950—1953 Korean War.
Arriving at the DPRK's resort in the afternoon, South Koreans met with their long-separated families at a large-scale gathering at around 3 p.m. local time, and later are to have a dining meeting in the evening.
The separate, personal meetings are planned to be held on Sunday.
The South Korean families will come back home on Monday after the three-day gathering, followed by the second-session reunion event which will last from Tuesday to Thursday.
The reunion, which had become a semi-regular event(半定期举行的活动) since 2000 after a historic inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang(平壤), was suspended（取消）in 2007 with a worsening mood in inter-Korean relations.
Saturday's family meeting, however, came as a result of an agreement reached last month between the DPRK leader Kim Jong-il and Hyun Jeong-eun, chairwoman of South Korea's Hyundai Group.
The recovery of the family meetings is regarded as conveying the DPRK's reconciliatory(和解) intentions, along with the country's recent moves including lifting a ban(解禁) on cross-border traffic to and from the Kaesong Joint Industrial Park, local media said.
About 600,000 South Koreans are believed to have relatives in the DPRK. Ordinary citizens were not allowed to make phone calls, send letters or exchange e-mails across the border.
1.. Why were there so many families separated according to the passage?
A. Because they were from different countries.
B. Because of the war which broke out in 1950.
C. Because of the ban that ordinary citizens were not allowed to cross the border.
D. Because the different policies between the two countries.
2... Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. It is the first reunion since they were separated.
B. These separated families haven’t seen their relatives for more than 7 years.
C. The first day of the reunion fell on a Saturday.
D. Ordinary citizens are now not allowed to make phone calls, or exchange e-mails across the border.
3.. The underlined word “reunion” can be replaced by _______________.
A. living together again
B. joining together again
C. reaching an agreement again
D. meeting together again
4.. What’s the best title of this news?
A. South Korean, DPRK families meet in reunion event.
B. A Special Family Gathering.
C. The improvement of inter-Korean relations.
D. A Peaceful Meeting.
