better send for my teacher professor hyde,” said a young man who left university a year before. “ im sure only he can work out the problem.”professor hyde was a well-known expert on generators. so the professor was sent for. and several hours later the expert came. looking at the generator carefully, the expert walked around it and a few minutes later he stopped. he took a hammer out of his toolbox and hit a part of the generator with it. and it began to work at once.“thank you, thank you very much,” said the director. “how much shall we pay you?”“5,000 dollars,” answered the professor. “oh dear!” called out an engineer. “5,000 dollars for only hitting the generator with a hammer?” “youre wrong, sir.” returned the professor. “5 dollars for hitting the generator and the other 4,995

skirt. it is called a kilt. the scottish like to be different. they are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. thats why the men still wear kilts at traditional（传统的） dances and on national holidays. they believe they are wearing the same clothes that scottish men always used to wear. thats what they believe. however, kilts are not really so old. before 1730, scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket(毯子) around their shoulders. these clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. so, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt:kilt. thats how the first kilt was made. then, in the late 1700s scottish soldiers in the british army began to wear kilts. one reason for this was national feelings: the scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the english soldiers. the british army probably had a different reason: a scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! the scottish soldiers fought very hard and became famous. the kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around scotland began to wear kilts. these kilts had colorful stripes(条纹)going up and down and across. in the 1700s and early 1800s,the color of the stripes had no special meaning. men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. but later the colors became important to the scottish families. by about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. for example, men from the campell family had kilts with green, yellow, and blue stripes. scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. in fact, each family just chose the color they liked best. this is not the story you will hear today if you are in scotland. most scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as scotland and that the colors are as old as the scottish families. sometimes feeling are stronger than facts!41. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. a kilt is the scottish national clothing.b. though kilts got in the way, the men in scotland wore them.c. the scottish soldiers wanted to wear the kilts because of national feelings.d. men all around scotland wore kilts until in the early 1800s. 42.according to the passage, each family in scotland chose _ for their kilts. a. green, yellow and blue b. the same color c. their favorite color d. the color with no special meaning 43.from the passage we know that the colors of the kilts are_.a. not part of the scottish family history b. older than the scottish family historyc. for the campbell family only d. mainly green, yellow and blue 44.from the last paragraph we can infer that_.a. the european people are full of strong feelings b. there are no stories about kilts in scotland todayc. the british like to do things on feelings, not on factsd .the scottish prefer to keep their tradition rather than believe the fact45we can mainly learn from the passage about_. a. the colorful stripes of kilts b. a scottish soldier in historyc. men in european dont wear skirts d. the history of kilts cwhen i lived in spain, some spanish friends of mine decided to visit england by car. before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). i suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak english with the family. my friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “we didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” i thought this was strange. finally i understood what had happened. my friends spoke little english, and they thought vacancies meant holidays, because the spanish word for holidays” is vacaciones. so they did not go to house where the sign outside said vacancles, which in english means there are free rooms. then my friends went to house where the sign said no vacancles, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. but they found that these houses were all full. as a result, they stayed at hotels! we laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. in spanish, the word diversion means fun. in english, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. when my friends saw the word diversion on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. instead, the road ended in a large hole. english people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. once in paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee, i said thank you in french. i meant that i would like some more, however , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! later i found out that thank you in french means no, thank you.46. i gave my spanish friends some advice about _. a. where to stay in england b. how to learn english c. driving cars on left d. finding a good

thought the boss. “but all the other astronauts have refused to go.” once they were in space, joe had to go outside to make some repairs. when the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. but the door was locked. he knocked but there was no answer. he knocked again, louder this time, and again no answer came. then he hit the door as hard as he could and finally a voice said, “whos there?” “its me! who else could it be?” shouted joe. sam let him in all right but you can imagine that joe never asked to go on a trip with sam again!51. of all the astronauts, sam and joe were
