After it had been sitting quietly for about ten minutes, the dog turned and looked up at the man.“Excuse me,” the dog said, “but you look like a kind man. Please buy me from this terrible woman.”The man could hardly believe his ears. A dog spoke to him in English!“She is so mean to me, ” the dog continued, “She never pets me or plays with me.

He was even more surprised when the dog added, “And Im really a very good dog. Im quite famous, too. I won a medal in the last war and was twice wounded in action. Ive saved three children two from drowning and one from a fire.”The man decided that he would try to buy the dog from the woman. He would pay a lot of money if necessary.

Here are some of them that you see on the roads.Number One is a sign with a number on it. When drivers see this sign with thirty on it, they must not go at more than thirty kilometers an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number Two is a sign that were near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number Three is a sign that there is a bend (拐弯) in the road. Again, we must drive slowly. It is not safe to go around a bend very fast. Number Four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction (交叉) at this place. Number Five is a sign that there is a hill and Number Six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must devote his attention to the drive and go slowly. Number Seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number Eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it. The letter “P” means “Parking”. In some places, there are the signs “No parking” or “No waiting”. If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of the car.34. At the places where you see Sign 1 with 30 on it, _.

It sells well across China. You can see and hear the advertisements about the book here and there. Why is the book so attractive to children? After reading it, I was attracted by the magic world. I can not help asking: where is our own Harry Potter? China has a long history and colorful culture. With a large market of teenagers, China published (出版) many popular books among children. However, why are the present books not as good as those foreign ones? Firstly, quite a number of childrens books are focused on teaching, and they have little interest value. Reading them, children often have a feeling of being “educated”. Certainly, they dont like them. Secondly, fewer children like the same stories, but most Chinese books are usually much the same. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. Finally, the writers seldom think about childrens needs. First-class Reading for children should be interesting, and written in their language. 37.

Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.Afternoon teaPeople believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals each daybreakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five oclock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.Will you come for coffee? Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee?” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a “coffee” party. Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact the London Stock（股票）Exchange is believed to have started from these coffeehouses. 42.

A. enjoyed chatting with her friends in the afternoon at home B. loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cups in the tea party C. wanted to share some nice food and some fine tea with her friends D. found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals43.

A. will be offered some coffee or some wine B. will be asked to have a chat with him or her C. are asked what you would like to drink or eat D. are invited to take part in an afternoon tea party44.
