You see someone has to take the pigeons a 44 way off and set them free. Some of the 45 were really nice. I never traveled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They've got this wonderful sense of 46 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They'd flown hundreds of miles sometimes 47 storms or against strong winds. And there they'd come, tiny white birds against the great 48 . Then I'd watch them 49 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, "My goodness, that's a good 50 " And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 51 what time he'd arrived. Then my wife would 52 up and say, "Has he arrived yet?" Then we would work out if we'd won 53 .

第三部分：阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分)

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。

A

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.

Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.

Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called "What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?" by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in nineteen seventy.

Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.

56. By logging on the Craigslist Web site, you can ______.

A. do some shopping online B. sell your old things

C. create your own announcement board D. get useful information about 450 c
