eyes from the book. mum pointed at a big chair by the door andiknew she wanted me to sit down. whileiwatched, mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. she walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop . she pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said,verydirty floors. yes. im glad theyve finally decided to clean them, the nurse answered. she looked at mum strangely and said, but arent you working late? mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall.iwatched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. after a long time mum came back. her eyes were shining. she quickly put the mop back and took my hand. as we turned to go out of the door, mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, thank you. outside, 6 mum told me: dagmar is fine. no fever. you saw her, mum? of course.itold her about the

ctocheck that she was still there.dtofind out how she was. 25. which of the following words best describes mum?d a politeb patientc changeabled clever passagepassagepassagepassagetwotwotwotwo long after the 1998 world cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing decisions that denied victory to their team. a researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. the researcher organized an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. the researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. when the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. the average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. the research shows the optimum distance is about 20 meters. there also seemed to be an 8 optimum speed. correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. the average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. if fifa, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next world cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues. he also says that fifas insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. if keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. 26. the experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _b_. a) review the decisions of referees at the 1998 world cup b) analyse the causes of errors made by football referees c) set a standard for football refereeing 27. the number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _c_. a) slightly above averageb) higher than in the 1998 world cup c) quite unexpectedd) as high as in a standard match 28. the findings of the experiment show that _a_. a) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball b) the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors 9 c) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur d) errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot 29. the word officials (line 2, para. 4) most probably refers to _c_. a) the researchers involved in the experiment b) the inspectors of the football tournament c) the referees of the football tournament d) the observers at the site of the experiment 30. what is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? d a) the ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45. b)age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee. c)a football referee should be as young and energetic as possible. d)an experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition. passagepassagepassagepassagethreethreethreethree it is said that the public and congressional concern about deceptive(欺骗性的) packaging rumpus(喧嚣) started because senator hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, mrs. hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10.5 ounces, without any reduction 10 in price. there were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. later, the senator rightly complained of a store bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie. the manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put h is product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4 ounce, 8 ounce, one pound, two pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. a study of drugstore( 杂货 店) and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in pro duct differentiation. the producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a products market position. when a packaging expert explained that he was able to
