bitterly disappointed, edward left the building and went to wait for a tram to take him back to the suburb where his fathers smithy was. next to the bus stop, a man was selling newspapers from a stand . excuse me, son? he said. would you look after my stand for a moment? for the next 20 minutes, edward sold newspapers, lots of them. when the man came back, he was so delighted with his new assistants honesty, that he offered him a job. edward took it immediately. in the next few months, the two men progressed from working on newspaper stands to selling newspapers, tobacco,confectionery（糖果点心）and other goods in a shop. then they opened a second shop, and a third. eventually, they had a chain of 25 shops in three cities. edward became very rich, so he employed a tutor to teach him to read and write. the tutor was amazed at what edward had achieved. imagine what you could do if youd been able to read and write when you were younger! he said. “yes!” said edward. “i could have run myself to exhaustion delivering documents for a solicitor!”60. what would be the best title for the text?

a.in the kitchen. b.on the floor in the middle of the house. c.on fires in front of the hut. d.in a small room attached to the main house.66.how are the old and new houses the same? a.both of them have roofs made of corrugated iron. b.neither of them have a garage or kitchen. c.neither of them have electricity,lights or running water. d.both of them have water inside but no electric light.67.the majority of ugandan children have to . a.go to a well or a river and often carry it for a long distance b.do a lot of work cooking and carrying water c.collect water on the way home from school d.get water out of their own welldpublished in 1896 and one of the most memorable horror stories ever written, dracula, by irish writer bram stoker,is the story of a vampire（吸血鬼）,someone who lives on human blood. stoker wrote the book after reading stories about central european vampires and set his vnovel in transylvania. even today,there are readers of the book who believe that transylvania is a mythical（神话的）country,a figment（虚构）of stokers imagination. nothing could be further from the truth. transylvania is part of modern-day central european country romania,and the country does indeed have a history of mythological vampires.however,romanians are always puzzled by the description of the novels central character, count dracula,a tall,elegant aristocrat（贵族）with impeccable（完美的）manners who also happens to speak very good english. this is a world away from the images of vampires that they have grown up with. romanian vampires are half-human creatures who live solitary lives in the forests,not aristocrats living in castles with well-stocked libraries.so where did stoke get the image for his dracula? the answer becomes clearer when one learns of his relationship with a man called henry irving,the greatest british stage actor of his time.stoker was working as a civil servant in his home city of dublin when he first met irving. bored with his tedious life and work, stoker took every opportunity to visit the theatre and for a while was the drama critic for the dublin evening mail. one of the reviews he wrote was of a performance of shakespeares play hamlet,with irving in the lead role.irving was so pleased with stokers review of his performance that he asked to meet him. stoker couldnt believe his luck when one night,he was invited to a dinner party where irving was the guest of honour. irving entertained the assembled dinner guests with some renditions（表演）of famous poems and speeches from shakespeare.stoker was already writing the first chapters of dracula and began to base the central character on irving,in the vain hope that if it ever became a stage play, irving would play the central character. sadly,irving never did,but the two men became close friends,and in 1878 stoker left the civil service and became irvings manager in london.68.bram stoker set his novel in transylvania because . a.it is in modern-day romania b.transylvania is a mythical country c.he wanted to tell a true story d.he had read stories about vampires from the area69.the central character of the novel . a.is very similar to the vampires that romanians know about b.is completely different from the vampires
