morning carrying the chair that had a broken leg. I didn"t think there would be any difficulty in getting it
mended. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly recaption (接待). I was quite wrong. The man
wouldn"t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth-so I
decided that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the
shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes. How much do
you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I"ll give you twenty pounds." "It"s got a
slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it"s nothing."
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I
asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I"ll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You"ve
just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I"ve changed my mind. I"m sorry, I"ll give you twenty-seven
pounds for it." "Your must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want.
You want me to repair your chair." "You"re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked
in and said, "Would you mend this chair for me?"" "I wouldn"t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don"t do
repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I"ll mend this for you, shall we say for five?" He
was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.

inn (旅馆) at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they
decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.
They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to
go to bed hungrily, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were
therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there
that night.
"Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr. Smith.
"Yes, certainly, sir," answered the man, "We serve it until half past nine."
"Well, sir," continued the man, "We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch
from twelve to three in the aftemoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine."
"But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sight of London!" said Mrs. Smith.

It was Mrs Scott"s birthday yesterday. The woman thought her husband was very busy,and she decided to
hold a small party only with her husband. Mr. Scott agreed with her and they didn"t invite any friends of theirs
to the party. At noon he didn"t go home for lunch and went to a shop. There he bought an expensive diamond
necklace for his wife. He hoped to put it on her neck with his own hands at the party. To his sorrow, a rich
woman"s house was broken into and some jewellery was stolen, and at once he was sent there to solve the cas
e (案件). When he came back to his office, it was late at night. He was tired and hungry. He brought out the
necklace and was going to leave when he was asked to answer a telephone. Several minutes later when he came
into his office, he found the necklace was gone, and he saw the case (盒子) only on his table. He became very
angry and called all the policemen in and told them about it. But nobody acknowledged (承认) having stolen the
necklace.
"I"ll give you a chance," said Mr. Scott, "All the lights will be tumed off. The man who took the necklace

We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up
in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another
space: happy and care-free.
But now...I don"t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in
our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever he do something
wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there
is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As
I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me
company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still
on.
I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they
were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can"t stand his outrageous (蛮
横的)words:"I can"t throw you away, let alone these old papers!"
All the lights were off except father"s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn"t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never
showed any mercy or any moment of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep
and then tucking (帮助盖被子) me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has
become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I
had never been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.
I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it"s second to
none.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father"s kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
B. b,e,c,d,a
C. b,e,a,c,d
D. b,e,c,a,d
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
B. The father is actually kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault with his son.
Barbara, Califomia. It was the start of his summer holidays and he decided to visit Wends at Las Vegas,
then he hoped to go fishing in Lake Mead, 40 km from Las Vegas.
Johnson"s troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car went wrong
and he tried to repair it. Then, to make matters worse, his attempts to start the car used up the battery (电
池) and left it useless. After Johnson had waited an hour in the hot sun, a Canadian driver, John Williams,
stopped and tried to help him. When both men failed, Williams promised to telephone a workshop to ask it
to send a truck to pull the car away and repair its fuel pump.
Johnson left the keys in his car and sat in the shade of a large tree. Soon he fell asleep. While he was
sleeping, a repair truck arrived from San Pedro (the nearest town) and pulled his car away. Later on,
Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. He started to walk back towards San Pedro
but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.
Johnson looked like a man wanted in Los Angels for robbery, so the police detained him at San Pedro
for the night. The next day, Johnson telephoned his friends in Los Angeles. They drove to San Pedro and
made the police believe that Johnson was a harmless salesman, so they set him free.
B. before he left Santa Barbara
C. when he was getting near the Mojave Desert

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I
bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop-that cheap self-service place
with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table
to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking
youngsters, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair coloured bright red at the front. Not so unusual these
days.What did suprise me was that he"d started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was annoyed (苦恼). However, to avoid (避免) trouble-and really I was rather uneasy about
him-I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The
boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn"t
start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the
last piece." and I got it.
The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, "This woman"s crazy!"
Everybody stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready
to leave. My face turned red-as red as his hair-when I realized I"d made a mistake. It wasn"t my chocolate that
I"d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.
B. had been very busy and needed some time to recover
C. wanted a newspaper and some chocolate to take home to her family
D. bought a newspaper and some chocolate so that she could keep a place at the table
B. too shy to look in the boy"s direction
C. more and more disappointed at losing the chocolate
D. more and more angry with the boy
B. Surprising.
C. Socially uncomfortable.
D. Annoying.
B. The way the boy was dressed is common nowadays.
C. The wild-looking boy was very rude to the woman.
D. The writer finds what happened in the coffee shop isn"t funny at all.
