阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A，B，C和D中选最出佳选项。
A
The German port of Hamburg has been offered $ 10,500 to change its name to “Veggieburg” by animal rights activists who are unhappy about the city’s association with hamburgers. “Hamburg could improve animal welfare and bring kindness to animals by changing its name to Veggieburg,” the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wrote in a letter sent to Hamburg Mayor Ole von Beust. The German branch of PETA, which has 750,000 members worldwide, said the organization would give Hamburg’s childcare facilities 10,000 euros worth of vegetarian burgers if the city changed its name. But city officials in Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city which traces its roots to the ninth century, were unmoved. “I cannot afford to waste my time with this. I don’t even want to look at nonsense like this,” said Klaus May, a city government spokesman. “But that doesn’t mean we Hamburgers don’t have a sense of humor.” In its letter, PETA said the name Hamburg reminded people of “unhealthy beef patties(肉饼) made of dead cattle”. “Millions of people fall ill each year with deadly illnesses like heart disease, cancer, strokes and diabetes from eating hamburgers,” PETA said in the letter.
The original “hamburger steak”, a dish made of ground beef, traveled west with Germans to the United States in the 19th century. The first mention of “hamburgers” appeared on a menu in a New York restaurant in 1834. Some historians trace its beginning to a beef sandwich once popular with sailors in Hamburg. The city’s name “Hamburg” comes from the old Saxon words “ham” (bay) and “burg” (castle). PETA recently made a similar offer to the U.S. town of Hamburg, New York. But their $15,000 bid was refused.
51. Why did PETA suggest changing the name “Hamburg”?
A. Because the name reminded people of a food made of animal meat.
B. Because changing the name can prevent people from eating hamburgers.
C. Because it can bring children much food to change the name.
D. Because hamburgers cause so many diseases every year.
52. What does the new name “Veggieburg” suggest?
A. Stopping eating meat.
B. Eating vegetables instead of meat.
C. It’s better for children to eat vegetables.
D. Treating animals better.
53. Which of the following statements of the German name “Hamburg” is true?
A. The name came from a kind of food.
B. The name came from the old German language.
C. The name has a long history.
D. The name has something to do with sailors.
54. What do you think is the result of the suggestion raised by PETA?
A. The two cities will have new names.
B. The present names of the two cities will last.
C. The children in Hamburg will have nothing to eat.
D. People won’t eat hamburgers in the future.

O. Henry was an American short-story writer, a master of surprising endings, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York city. A twist of plot, which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance, is typical of O. Henry’s stories.
William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) was born in North Carolina. His father was a physician. When William was three, his mother died, and he was raised by his grandmother and aunt. At the age of fifteen he left school, and then worked in a drug store. He moved to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.
In 1884 he started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. When the weekly failed, he joined the Houston Post as a reporter and columnist. In 1897 he was convicted of embezzling money, although there has been much debate over his actual guilt.
While in prison O. Henry started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret. His first work, Whistling Dick’s Christmas Stocking (1899), appeared in McClure’s Magazine. After doing three years of the five years sentence, Porter emerged from the prison in 1901 and changed his name to O. Henry.
O. Henry moved to New York city in 1902 and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the New York World, also publishing in other magazines. Henry’s first collection, Cabbages And Kings appeared in 1904. The second, The Four Million, was published two years later and included his well-know stories The Gift of the Magi and The Furnished Room. O. Henry published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.
O. Henry’s last years were shadowed by ill health and financial problems. He married Sara Lindsay Coleman in 1907, but the marriage was not happy, and they separated one year later. O. Henry died on June 5, 1910, in New York.

SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “anything else that came up.”
Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly（蝶泳）in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.
Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition（顶级赛事）to swim the one event, having set a qualifying（合格的）time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.
Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago.
“I was at a national youth game on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train,” Schipper explained. “It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don’t know why. We just started talking and it went from there. ”
“She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting. ”
Next time, things will be more serious. “I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould, ” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.

HOLLYWOOD(UPI)—Loni Anderson decided last year it was time to change her career around to play moms and comedy instead of pretty young girls.
So far, most people remember her as Jennifer Marlowe, the role she played in her first film in 1982.
This summer people will see Anderson in “A Night as Roxbury”, a film produced and directed by Amy Heckerlin.
“In the film I have two sons. One is 26, and the other is 30. Isn’t that interesting? I know I don’t look that old, but that’s what’s so fun about it.”
“My character dresses in clothes too short, too tight. Dan Hedaya plays my husband. We’re a couple with a lot of money and no taste. Our sons are complete idiots. Their purpose in life is to get into the Rich Young Man Club where everybody is proud of his wealth.”
“As you can tell, I’m doing things. I’d never have done at the beginning of my career.”
“But I am who I am. I’ve worked as an actress a long time and now I can be anything I want. It’s a great time for me. I don’t have anything to prove.”
“I hadn’t done comedy in a long time. It’s what I do best and what I like best. At this point in my life I want to look a little bit foolish. I think that would be something new for me.”
