         When a person passes through the customs (海关) between two countries, he would be questioned by a
    customs inspector (检查员). If a person brings in goods of great value, the inspector may ask him to pay
    taxes on them. Some people try to hide the valuables they have with them so that they will not have to pay
    these taxes. But customs inspectors are hard to fool.
         Inspector Joseph Koehler has worked for the US Customs Service for years. One day a group of
    passengers arrived on a flight from Belgium.
         Koehler took special notice of one of the women among them. At first he did not know what made him
    pick her out of them ― the woman's baggage was made of a purse and two suitcases. She showed no sign
    of fear when Koehler opened them. Yet Koehler could not rid himself of the feeling that something was wrong.
         Suddenly he knew what it was. The woman was too tall. This woman's height didn't seem right somehow.
    Then it was found that the bottom parts of her shoes were filled with something.
         The inspector opened them. A handful of diamonds fell out on the floor. More jewels were found under a
    false bottom in one of her suitcases. Their total weight was 3,387 carats. It was one of the largest diamond
    hauls (缴获) ever made by the US Customs.
    1. From the passage, we can know that Joseph Koehler _____.
    A. only asked the women passengers to pay taxes on the valuable goods
    B. had worked for almost one year in the US customs
    C. opened every passengers' package when they passed the customs
    D. found a false bottom in one of the woman's suitcases
    2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to"_____".
    A. the tax the woman should pay
    B. the reason to pick the woman out
    C. the woman's baggage
    D. the inspector's duty
    3. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
    A. the woman was fond of making jokes
    B. the jewels were of high quality
    C. Koehler made great contributions to US Customs
    D. US Customs are in great need of inspectors like Koehler
    4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. Koehler was attracted by the woman's beauty.
    B. The woman made some changes to her baggage.
    C. The job of a customs inspector is dangerous.
    D. The jewels were damaged by the US Customs.

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
