Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he did not tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, "Jim, I know that the jury will find me guilty of having stolen the money. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking it—that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty."
"Well, George," answered Jim, "I shall certainly try to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I cannot promise anything. The other 11 people on the jury look terribly strong-minded to me."
George said that he would quite understand if Jim was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.
The trial went on, and at last the time came for the jury to decide whether George was guilty or not. It took them five hours, but in the end they found George guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy.
Of course, George was very pleased, but he did not have a chance to see Jim for some time after the trial. At last, however, Jim visited him in prison, and George thanked him warmly and asked him how he had managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy.
"Well, George," Jim answered, "as I thought, those 11 men were very difficult to persuade, but I managed in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!"
Question : What did George manage to do when his trial was about to begin?
(33)
A.Decided that he would plead guilty.
B.Told another prisoner about his old friend.
C.Succeeded in seeing his friend secretly one day.
D.Told his family about his old friends.
Questions are based on the following passage.
Cocoa contains chemicals calledflavanols (黄烷醇 ) that may help reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks by lowering blood pressure and improving the body"s use of insulin (胰岛素 ) .
Washington chocolate producer Steve Kumar said that is one reason dark chocolate is increasingly popular among his customers. "A lot of people are attracted by dark chocolate because they just decide they love it, and they also have been reading all about the health benefits of dark chocolate," said Kumar.
But those benefits have not been confirmed by studies involving large numbers of people. Also, during the production of chocolate, a lot of flavanols are destroyed, while sugar and fats are added to contribute to flavor.
Scientists now want to learn the benefits of flavanols in their pure form.
They plan a four-year study of 18,000 adults, who will take pills of pure cocoa flavanols, in what is being called the largest test of its kind. Jo-Ann Manson, of the Brigham and Women"s Hospital in Boston, is the lead researcher. "This pill of cocoa flavanols will avoid having the calories and the sugar and the fat found in chocolate," said Manson. The pills also won"t have any taste. Participants,divided in two groups, will take two identical pills a day. One group"s pills will contain flavanols, while the others will getplacebo (安慰剂 ) pills. "The amount of chocolate that it would take in order to have this amount of cocoa flavanols would be more than ten times the amount that people would ordinarily eat," said Manson.
Whatever the outcome of the study, Kumar said he"s not worried about his business. "People like the experience of actually biting into a piece of chocolate,whatever their favorites are," he said.
The flavanol benefits test is still in the early stage, so scientists are not sure when the participants will be handed their first chocolate pills.
What chemical in cocoa may do good to the heart according to the passage? 查看材料
A.Fat.
B.Insulin.
C.Sugar.
D.Flavanols.
"He' s not here," I said, after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent(洗衣粉), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband' s underwear was after having been washed. They took no notice of us at all.
"Well, what did you expect?" replied Fergus, yawning (打呵欠)." It's only half past nine, and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. He' 11 turn up some- time after ten."

C.asked somebody the name of the bar
D.had little difficulty in finding the bar
A
We found that bar at last. I didn ' t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window-Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar.
They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning them-selves unenthusiastically (无精打采地 ) with magazines.
