阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A

A man who failed to return more than 700 children’s books to five different libraries in the county was put into prison. Yesterday he was set free after a book publisher agreed to post his bond (担保金) of $1,000. The publisher said, “There’s a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just can’t let go of them. He hasn’t stolen a single book. So what’s the crime? We think that Mr. Brush has a story to tell. We plan to publish his story.”

When asked why he didn’t return the books, Mr. Brush said, “Well, how could I? They became family to me. I was afraid to return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.”

He continued, “Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich you with wisdom and humor and love. A book is my guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I dusted them. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air.

“Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at them. Now they’re all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling me! I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now.”

21. Why was the man put into prison?

A. Because the book publisher persuaded the police to do so.

B. Because he stole 700 children's books from the five different libraries.

C. Because he refused to return the books that he had borrowed.

D. Because he wanted to publish his story.

22. How did the man treat books?

A. He treated them as real people. B. He treated them as his own children.

C. He treated them as his furniture. D. He treated them as his job.

23. From the passage we can learn that the man is _____.

A. a thief B. crazy about books C. a writer D. unfortunate

24. What might happen after the man was set free?

A. He might stop borrowing books from libraries.

B. He might start a library of his own.

C. He might return all his books to the libraries.

D. He might go on borrowing books from libraries.

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob (快闪族). Don’t be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.

Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May, 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3, 2003—after the first attempt was foiled at Macy’s department store. Following this, about 200 people flooded the hall of the Hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a bus trip invaded a shoe shop in Soho. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.?Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to make fun of hipsters(赶时髦的人), and highlight the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”.

Though flash mobs were firstly regarded as pointless, the concept has already developed for the benefit of political and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters(反对者) can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events.

Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and fantastic, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. They also have big economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.

The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, hundreds of Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him, gathering outside the railway station in Liverpool, singing and dancing Michael’s famous song?Beat It?together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.
