In 1943, during the Second World War the body of an English man, William Martin, was discovered off the Spanish coast. The papers he has been carrying were returned to England, where they were carefully examined. They had clearly been changed and that was exactly what the British had hoped would happen, for Martin was a trick designed to fool the Germans.

　 Martin did not exist. The body was that of a sailor who looked as though he had died when his boat sank, but in fact he had been ill and died. Leaving the boat to go down, his parents allowed the dead body to be put into the sea near Spain. It was hoped that the Germans would find it and read the fake(假的)papers he carried.

　　The papers said that the British would attack the island of Sardinia, when in fact they planned to attack the island of Sicity. The trick was successful. When the British landed on Sicity, most of the heavy German guns had been moved to defend(保衛(wèi)) Sardinia.

65._______ put the papers on the dead man.

　　A. The British                            B. German spies

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答問題。

　　In most American cities, the rent for a one-bedroom apartment was $ 250 or more per month in recent years． In some smaller cities such as Louisville, Kentucky or Jacksonville, Florida the rent was less, but in larger cities it was more． For example, if you lived in Los Angeles, you had to pay $400 or more to rent a one-bedroom apartment, and the same apartment rented for $ 626 and up in Chicago． The most expensive rents in the US were in New York City, where you had to pay at least $ 700 a month to rent a one-bedroom apartment in most parts of the city．

　　Renters and city planners are worried about the high cost of renting apartments． Many cities now have rent-control laws to keep the cost of renting now． These laws help low-income families who cannot pay high rents．

　　Rent control in the United States began in 1943 when the government imposed (課稅) rent controls on all American cities to help workers and the families of soldiers during World War II． After the war, only one city－-New York－-continued these World War II controls． Recently, more and more cities have returned to rent controls． At the beginning of the 1980s, nearly one fifth of the people in the United States lived in cities with rent-control laws．

　　Many cities have rent-control laws, but why are rents so high? Builders and landlords blame rent controls for the high rents． Rents are high because there are not enough apartments to rent and they blame rent control for the shortage of apartments． Builders want more money to build more apartment buildings, and landlords want more money to repair their old apartment buildings． But they cannot increase rents to get this money because of the rent control laws． As a result, landlords are not repairing their old apartments and builders are not building new apartment buildings to replace the ole apartment buildings． Builders are building apartments for high-income families, not low-income families, so low-income families must live in old apartments that are in disrepair． Builders and landlords claim that rent-control laws really hurt low-income families．

　　Many renters disagree with them． They say that rent control is not the problems． Even without rent controls, builders and landlords will continue to ignore low-income housing because they can make more money from high-income housing． The only answer, they claim, is more rent control and government help for low-income housing．

1．Which city had the highest rent for a one-bedroom apartment in America?

___________________________________________________________

2．When did the rent control begin in the United States?

___________________________________________________________

3．Why did the American government impose rent controls on all American cities in 1943 ?

___________________________________________________________

4．According to many renters, why do builders and landlords ignore low-income housing?

___________________________________________________________

5．In the opinion of builders and landlords, what is the real reason for the high rents?

___________________________________________________________

　　When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not spend it．This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it．

　　When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crownfor me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs．

　　A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external(外部的)circumstances and partly through poor planning．Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food．tried to teach her budget techniques, and none of them has been a solution．She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression．

　　Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless．I then thought about how the crown．a(chǎn) reminder of another's care and love, had protected me, so 1 went to the bank for a＄100 dollar bill．I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the＄100 in the back of her wallet．It turned out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins．She immediately felt better．“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend”, she said, and we were both a bit teary．

　　The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part, but to show the power of“random acts of kindness”．I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I'd never used, and thought,“I'II give that to my friend”．I opened it, and inside, found ＄100．
