Every year millions of people go abroad for pleasure or profit. There are consular officers ready to do what they can to help if people get into difficulties, but for all sorts of reasons there are limits to what they can do. Most times things go well for travellers abroad but occasionally things go wrong. So, whether you are an experienced traveller or a first timer, going by yourself, with the family or a group there are things you should do before you go. Think about money sand tickets well in advance. Take enough money including enough to pay your return fare, and hold on to it. Better still, buy return tickets in the first place. In an emergency a consul (领事馆) will contact relatives or friends and ask them to help you with money or tickets. But theres no law that says a consul has to lend you money and if he eventually does (and it will have to be repaid) he will want to be satisfied first that really do have no money and there is no one else you know who can help.It is also important to take out proper insurance for everything from car breakdowns to loss of life. A consul cannot pay your medical or any other bills, nor can he do the work of local travel representatives or motoring organizations.41. What is the author trying to do in the text?A. To inform people about laws abroad. B. To describe an international problem.C. To explain how to visit a consulate. D. To give advice about consulates.42 Why would somebody read the text?A.

To find out where a consul lives.43 You can borrow money from a consul if youA. need to stay abroad longer. B. have to help a relativeC. have no other financial (资金) means D. need to have your car repaired44. Which of the following notices would you see in Consular Office? A. CONSULAR OFFICE In an emergency you may contact your consul. He may give you advice but you should not rely on being given financial help. B. CONSULAR OFFICE In an emergency you may contact this office. Your consul can always help with hospital and dental costs.C. CONSULAR OFFICE You may contact your consul if you have run out of money.

The company is now being investigated. Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potential millions of customer cars that have been recalled. The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses.Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits. A new hearing will be conducted. And the cost to Toyotas reputation is only now starting.Despite back-to-back hearings this week, left to be said was a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden, unintended accelerations will be fixed.Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock, but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicles electronic systems.Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration（加速） problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference or sticky gas pedals.(踏板) Outside experts have suggested electronic problems.House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda the grandson of the companys founder.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)is seeking records on Toyotas recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults. NHTSA also continues to look into steering（转向） complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model.Toyota has recalled 8.5 million cars ，more than 6 million of them in the United States.It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars. Toyotas January sales already fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last years bad results. Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales, due out next week, to be down 30 percent to 40. Toyotas sales problem could continue beyond that.
