A broken wheel made him an hour late; his ladder (梯子) fell down when he was painting the roof and now his old truck wouldn t start. With each problem he shouted angrily, more at himself than at his things. As I drove him home, the man didnt say a word.I tried talking to the man to kill time. I managed to find out that he had come up from Blue Hills in Victoria with his family six months ago to find a job. This was his first job since moving here. I now knew why his price was lower than any other worker I could find in the local newspaper. He really needed the job. His clothes told me as much.On arriving, much to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked through his front garden he suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then, when he opened the door he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile, hugs for his two children and a kiss for his wife.The following day, I asked him about the tree.Thats my trouble tree, he answered. Work troubles arent welcome at home with my wife and the children. So I hang them on that tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. And you know what else? he said smiling,The next morning I find that there arent as many as I remember hanging up the night before. 46. Which of the following things did NOT happen to the worker? A.

While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have.One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and again, often for many months or even years. Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop. Others think they are a way to help people remember something very important.Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare. The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes. Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life.Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world. We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting. They help us think about our future.Lucid dreams are the most fun. These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming. Instead of waking up, they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie.51.

Enjoy Your DreamC. What Dreams Mean D. Where Dreams Go. (C)KINGS HOTEL-CUSTOMER COMMENTSI cannot say enough good things about the Kings Hotel. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable and the hotel workers were excellent. They were even able to book several sightseeing trips to different parts of the city for us. Next time I come to London I will certainly be staying there again.Bob Smith Manchester, UK: February 2008The hotels restaurant made the best food I have ever tasted. I am still dreaming about their roast beef and potatoes. I had it for lunch and dinner almost every day I was there. I wanted to have it for breakfast too, but it wasn t on the breakfast menu. The restaurant was a little expensive and the waiters were a bit careless but I still think the hotel was great.Rachel Jones New York, USA: December 2007I just want to tell visitors something about the swimming pool, at the Kings Hotel. When I was there, the water was very dirty, almost green. It really made me feel sick. When my drink fell in the water I asked the worker if I could have another one. After waiting for half an hour he still had not brought me one so I returned to my room. At least the room was very nice.Michael Palin Sydney, Australia: August 2007This time last year I was in London for the first time and stayed at this hotel.

There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white packageblue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to.It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!The most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”61Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?A. The cost of its package. B. The price of the product.C. The colour of its package. D. The brand name of the product.62The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means that thecolours _.A. attracted the customers strongly B. caused the customers to lose interest C. tricked the customers into shopping D. had weak effects on the customers63Which of the following is the key to the s
