Today is the fifth day of August. It is Judy's birthday. When she comes back home from school, she sees a card on the table. It says, "There's a present (礼物) for you, Judy. Look for it in your bedroom." Judy runs into her bedroom. Her parents are looking at her and smiling. On the chair she sees a red box. She thinks her present must be in it. She opens it, and there is a piece of paper in it. She reads it, "Dear Judy, I'm your present. My first letter is in the word 'bag', but not in 'age'. My second letter is in 'like', but not in 'lake'. My third letter is in "know", but not in 'now'. And you can find my last letter in both 'desk' and 'get'. What am I?"

Nowadays(如今) everyone has a practical goal for life. Do you have one? What’s it? Do you want to become a writer, singer or just become a rich person?
A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car” , “to improve one’s life quality, “finding a good job”.
Wang You worked in a small firm (商行) in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn’t have to work for extra hours. However he felt the work was not exciting at all and the life was boring. ① So he _____________his job and went to Beijing in February, 2007. When he arrived in Beijing, he set his new goal as finding a good job.
Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making progress and people’s life goals have become more practical. One researcher says, “Everybody has his/her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one’s life goal will be to earn more money; if one doesn’t have a diploma(文凭), studying hard to get a diploma will become his life goal; and if one doesn’t have love, his life goal will be to look for it. ②But if one has no life goal, he will idle away(虚度) his lifetime.”
回答下列问题：Why did Wang You go to Beijing though he had a good job in Nanjing?

Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake places of the world – Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey – rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(救援) dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “ ‘Robot’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity.
The “ rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “ It would be fantastic. A rat would get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building ( but only after an earthquake, of course.)
In the earthquake places, rats will become man’s best friends because they can __________.

A．take the place of man in rescue jobs

B．find the positions of people alive who are trapped in buildings

C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings

D．send signals for the coming earthquake

The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refers to(所指) _________

A．the nose made by the rat

B．the rat’s unusual behavior

C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back

D．the smell given off by the person

In doing rescue jobs, __________________________.

A．rats have better sense of smell than dogs.

B．dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people.

C．robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around.

D．rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots.

A．rats have taken the place of dogs in search for people.

B．the “ rat project” has been completed

C．people are now happy to see a rat in a building
