阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A disastrous competition is going on in England, with billions of dollars and hundreds of lives in danger. OK, that's not true. But competitors from around the world gathered on Thursday to compete for the title of 2012’s World's Biggest Liar.
Each participant is given up to five minutes to make up the best lie in the competition, which was started in honor of 19th-century Bridge Inn owner Will Ritson, who was reportedly famous for his lies. Competitors gather at the Bridge Inn every year for the competition, a small pub in northwestern England. Anyone can take part in the competition. Well, almost anyway; the reporters note that lawyers and politicians are banned, who is said to enjoy "an unfair advantage" in the proceedings (进程).
A study published this past July in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior found that nearly all lies are detectable through visible facial muscle (肌肉) reactions in the person telling a lie. “Thus, while interpersonal deception (欺骗) often is highly successful, signs of hidden emotional states are communicated clearly to the informed observer,” the study concluded.
A churchman of Carlisle reportedly holds what may be the greatest lie of all time in the competition, simply stating, "I have never told a lie in my life."
In 2003, Abrie Krueger of South Africa became the first non-Brit to win the competition. Ironically, Krueger was accused by some of cheating.
In 2006, comedian Sue Perkins became the first female to win the competition, telling a tale about people riding camels to work as a result of climate change.
Last year's winning entry came from Glen Boyland, who told a lie about competing in a snail-racing (蜗牛赛跑) competition with Prince Charles.
56. The article begins with _____.
A. a piece of news B. a case from the competition
C. the passage’s topic sentence D. a lie told by the writer
57. The competition is held at the Bridge Inn because _____.
A. its present owner is hospitable B. most local people are liars
C. it once had a good liar as its owner D. it is a tourist attraction
58. When the writer wrote “Well, almost anyway”(Para.2), he or she realized that _____.
  A. the previous sentence was not exact B. the previous sentence was all wrong
  C. the next sentence would be exact D. the reporters didn’t agree with him or her
59. Paragraph Three mainly tells us that _____.
A. lying requires extraordinary skill B. liars are able to find each other out
C. most lies are believed in everyday life D. liars always show signs of lying
60. _____ is mentioned just because his lie was most special.
  A. The churchman B. Abrie Krueger C. Sue Perkins D. Glen Boyland
B
Santa Claus is someone who will remain in the hearts of children forever.
Santa C1aus also has some other names: Saint Nicholas, St. Nick, Kris Kringle, Pelznickel. Two of his names-Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas-both come from the Dutch who settled in New York long ago. The Dutch honored this kindly saint with a yearly festival on December sixth. The Dutch spoke the name “Saint Nikolas” very fast. It sounded like “sinterklaas”. And so, when the English said this word, it sounded like “Santa Claus”.
West of New York, in Pennsylvania, many German farmers had also heard of Saint Nikolas. But they cal1ed him “Pelznickel”. This word came from “pelz”, meaning fur, and “nickel” for Nicholas. So, to the Germans of Pennsylvania，“Pelznickel” was a man dressed in fur who came once a year with gifts for good children. Soon, people began to feel that the 1ove and kindness Pelznickel brought should be part of a celebration honoring the “Christkindl”, as the Germans ca1led the Christ child. After a time, this became Kris Kringle. Later, Kris Kringle became another name for Santa Claus himself.
