Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her. My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen,she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing,“This is Mrs Tan. ” And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly,Why he don t send me check already two week long. ” And then,in perfect English I said: Im getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago,but it hasnt arrived. Then she talked more loudly. What he want? I come to New York tell him from of his boss. And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “ I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week. The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager,my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To memy mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the wayI saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.24.Why was the authors mother poorly served? A.She was unable to speak good English.

Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.28. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light C. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow29. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind women C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.30. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true? A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. B. None of them can see deep red. C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green. D. All of them see everything in shades of green.31. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _. A. red light B. yellow light C. blue light D. green light DEvery year there is a Spring Festival in China. Usually it is in January or February. It is the most important festival in China. So before it comes, everyone has to prepare things. They buy pork， beef， chicken， fruits and many other things. And they often make a special kind of food“dumplings”. It means “come together”.
