This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing. It was my sons birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p. m. , we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wifes meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didnt believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was force to pay.The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund (退款) for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.Thank you for your attention.

Do you think this was a cruel thing to do to an animal? There is an organization called “The American Humane Society”, in other words, AHS. This organization makes sure that no animals are hurt or killed in movies. Before AHS started, many animals were hurt or killed during movie-making. The first time that an animal was hurt happened in 1939. In that movie, the special-trained actor rode his horse off a mountain cliff and jumped into a river. The actor was OK, but the horse died. A great many people were angry about this. so, after that, the AHS became advisors to moviemakers.Have you seen a cowboy movie in which a group of soldiers or cowboys are riding horses into a battle? Sometimes it looks as though the horses are shot and fall down. Theyre never hurt when they do this. Moviemakers also use another technique called “animal-tronics” technology. In this, they make electronic animals that look like real animals. Theres a movie in which elephants jump out of an airplane with parachutes (降落伞). Actually, these were all electronic elephants that the audience saw floating down from the sky. They were not real elephants.61. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A. The history of AHS.B.

The grindstone is down in the shop.”Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “Im sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal(小坏蛋), youve played truant(逃课)! Run to school, or youll be sorry! “Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this old day, but now to be called a rascal is too much.”The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank into my mind. I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax to grind.”65.

As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot: of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the Use of horses. Modem vehicles are propelled by engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine; the driver must do all the things.In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road.
