She is always quite delicate and elegant（文雅的）, especially in her language. She and her husband were planning to attend a family party, so she wrote to a hotel and booked a room. She wanted to make sure the hotel was fully equipped, but didnt know how to ask about the toilet facilities （卫生间设备）. She just couldnt bring herself to write the word “toilet” in her letter. After much thought, she finally came up with the old-fashioned term “bathroom commode”. But when she wrote that down she felt that she was being too forward. So she started all over again, wrote the trip purpose this time, and referred to the bathroom commode merely as the B.C. “Does the hotel have its own B.C.?” is what she finally wrote. Well, the hotel owner wasnt old-fashioned at all, and he couldnt figure out what the woman was talking about. That B.C. business really stumped him. After worrying about it for a while, he showed the letter to some waiters, but no one could figure out what she meant either. So the hotel owner, finally coming to the conclusion that the lady was talking about the location of the Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply: “Dear Madam, I regret very much the delay （延期） in answering your letter, but I now take the pleasure of informing you that the B.C. is located nine miles north of the hotel and is capable （有能力的） of seating 250 people at one time. I admit it is quite a distance away if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt a great number of people take their lunches and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late. If you dont start early you might not make it in time. I would like to say it pains me very much not being able to go more often, but it is surely not because of a lack of desire on my part. If you decide to come to our hotel, perhaps I could go with you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the folks.” 56. Why did the authors friend write “B.C.” instead of “toilet”? _A. She tried to make her letter difficult to understand. B. She was quite old and liked to make the letter brief. C. She could spell out neither “toilet” nor “bathroom commode”. D. She thought it was a politer way to express what she meant. 57. All of the following are mentioned in the ladys letter except that _.A. she wanted to know the exact location of the hotel B. she would attend a family party with her husband C. she would like to book a room in the hotel D. she wanted to find out whether the hotel would meet her needs58. The underlined word “stumped” in the second paragraph is the closest in meaning to _. A. interested B. puzzled C. shocked D. disappointed59. By writing “a great number of people take their lunches and make a day of it”, the hotel owner means that _. A. it is a long way from the hotel to the churchB. the church has never served lunch at noon beforeC. the church is very popular with local peopleD. people like to share their lunches in the church 60. What is the writers purpose in writing the text? _A. To persuade people not to use old-fashioned terms. B. To tell a funny story about an old-fashioned lady.C. To introduce two different meanings of “B.C.”.D. To criticize the old-fashioned ladys foolish behavior.B“What part of the States do you come from?” “Im not American. Im Canadian.”This is a mistake that Europeans often make. Many Americans, too, admit that it takes them a while to tell if its an American talking or Canadian. This upsets（使不安）some Canadians, because they want people to recognize them as Canadians. They want everyone to know that Canada is an independent（独立的）nation with its own special character.American English was probably brought to Canada by the Loyalists（忠于北方者）who fled there during the Revolutionary War (17761783), for even as late as 1813. Eighty percent of all British Canadians had come from the USA.From the very first, Canada was a country with two languages, neither of which influenced（影响）the other very much, because the French and British spoke to each other so little. Canadian English has always remained very like American English, and the influence of the Indian and Inuit languages was no greater than the influence of French. But here are some important words that have found their way via（通过）Canadian dictionaries into British Dictionaries.61. The sentence “Im not American, Im Canadian.” suggests . A. Canada is beautiful country B. Canadian English is not quite different from American Englishx kb 1 C. Canadians think Canada is a more developed country D. Canadians think that there is independence62. It isnt easy for Europeans even for Americans to tell from . A. American English; British English B. Canadian English; American English C. Canadian English; British English D. British English; Scottish English63. The two languages spoken in Canada refer to . A. British English and American English B. English and Latin C. French and English D. Canadian English and American English64. Generally speaking, Canadian English is the same as American English because . A. Canada is connected with the USA B. most of the British Canadians had come from the USA C. the population of Canada is smaller than that of the USA D. Canadians want to follow Americans65. With the help of , some American English new words come into British English. A. the Revolutionary War B. Indian language C. the Loyalists D. Canadian dictionariesCBeryl Cook taught herself to paint in her forties and became one of Britains best-known painters. She died peacefully earlier today at the age of 81. She is best-known for creating a colorful and funny world of fat women. The comedian（喜剧演员） Victoria Wood once described her as “Rubens with jokes”. Describing her own work she once said, “I dont know how my pictures happen; they just do.” Her pictures gained a lot of fans for her. Her fans had long been angry with the major art galleries for failing to notice her works, which sell for only 40,000. In 2008 they started a fight against Tate Modern for not buying Cooks paintings. But towards the end of her life she enjoyed wider praise, with a major exhibition last year at the Baltic gallery in Gateshead. Jess Wilder, co-owner of Londons Portal Gallery, had shown her paintings for more than 30 years. One of four sisters, Cook left school at 14 and in 1943 moved to London and became a showgirl (歌舞女演员) in a singing hall. In 1946 she married her childhood friend John, with whom she ran a bar for a short time. Their son, also named John, was born in 1950, and they moved to Southern Rhodesia in 1951 a move said to be a turning point for Cook. After picking up some paints belonging to her son, she began creating pictures on wood. The family later moved to Plymouth, where in the summer months they ran a hotel. A local exhibition in the mid-1970s attracted many people, followed by a cover in the Sunday Times magazine and Cooks first London exhibition. In 1979 Melvyn Bragg made a film about Cook. 66. Which of the following can best describe the style of Cooks paintings?A. Funny. B. Real. C. Particular. D. Common.67. What can we know about Beryl Cooks works?A. They were all bought by all kinds of art galleries.B. They helped bring children a lot of happiness.C. They were mainly about fat women.D. They were all finished when she was young.68. In the opinion of Beryl Cooks fans, _.A. Beryl Cooks works were too expensive to buyB. Beryl Cooks works were so ordinary that no gallery noticed themC. Tate Modern refused Cooks paintings for their being of no valueD. Tate Modern should buy Cooks paintings69. It can be inferred that on her way to being an artist, Beryl Cook _.A. got a lot of help from her sonB. began a different life after moving to Southern Rhodesia C. made a film to support her life as an artistD. began her life as an artist after moving to Plymouth70. Which of the following is the right order of Beryl Cooks experiences?a. moved to Southern Rhodesia b. became a showgirl in a singing hall c. married John d. ran a bar e. began creating pictures on wood f. moved to PlymouthA. b-d-f-e-a-c B. a-d-e-f-b-c C. b-c-d-a-e-f D. d-e-a-b-c-f DIn life, we should try to combine both money and happiness together. To do this I suggest the following steps:Consider the Importance of Simplicity The aim of life should not be to control as many belongings and as much wealth (财产) as possible. If you feel happiness is directly related to material belongings, you are making a mistake. We should learn to be pleased with what we have and appreciate the advantages of simplicity. Do Not Take Money Too SeriouslyDoes it pain you to spend your own money even if it is for something useful? The problem with this, however, is that if we are always unwilling to spend money, we miss the whole point of making it. We should look at money in this way: spending money enables more to come into our lives. It is no good saving a large amount of water unless we use it to pro
