Passage One
Lane waited on the bench nearest the bridge, as he had been instructed. The wind blew straight across the river, sharp as a razor, and he had to pull his overcoat closer about him.

He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meat. He bored no resemblance to Lane’ s idea of a successful spy. His conversation, confined to trivial observations about the weather, was painfully uninteresting.
A few minutes later he got up and continued on his way. Large picked up the paper which laid on the bench, as if he wanted to look at the news. He was excited to
A. give Lane some important papers
B. tell him some pieces of advice
C. tell him some important news

A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common.After all,the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world,and the baby is,well, just playing…right?Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists（ ）have argued that this“play”is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.
