It had been said that Lincoln was always ready to join in a laugh at himself. There is one particular story that he always told with great delight.
In his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases. During one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall clumsy(愚笨的)lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonged to him. Lincoln was a bit puzzled. He had never seen the man before. He didn't see how a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked him how this could be. The stranger pulled out a pencil knife and began to explain. Many years before, he had been given the pencil knife. He had been told to keep it until he was able to find a man uglier than himself.

Passage 3
One answer to the question of land shortage(短缺)was suggested by a committee some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.
This suggestion was to shape the city like a harbour. The outer wall of the harbour would stand on steel columns resting on the seabed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow(浅的). The flats would all face inwards, and would be made of concrete and glass. The glass would be specially made and coloured to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this water the lake.
The water inside this man-made harbour would be calm. And on the water would be floating lands carrying more buildings, a hospital, two theatres, a museum, and an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the island would be a special plant, to take the salt out of seawater and turn it into fresh water.
People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of petrol. There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.
51. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The city was to be designed together with a harbour.
B. The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.
C. The building of the city would rest on a floating island.
D. The people would live in tall buildings surrounded by a wall.
52. Fresh water would be supplied to the city by ________.
A. getting it from the islands nearby
B. dealing with the seawater in a special way
C. getting it from the mainland

55. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Air Pollution B. A New Type of City
C. A Country Built at Sea D. Harbour Cities
