They write very quickly and untidily. Druggists often read doctors notes, but sometimes doctors write so badly that even the druggist can not read them. One day a woman wrote a letter to a doctor inviting him to dinner at her home. The doctor wrote a reply, but he wrote so carelessly that the woman could not read at all.“What shall I do?” she said to her husband anxiously. “I dont know whether hes going to come or not. And I dont want to phone him and say that I cant read his writing.” Her husband thought and thought, and got an idea. She then went to the drugstore and gave the doctors note to the druggist. The druggist looked at it carefully and closely for some time. Then he went quickly to the back of his store. After a few minutes he returned, bringing a large bottle with him. He gave the bottle to the woman. “Take one spoonful before each meal,” he said smilingly.31. The doctor wrote a note to the woman _.A. to answer her letterB. to refuse her invitationC. to accept her invitationD. to ask her to dinner in his house32. The woman took the note to the druggist because _.A. she was weakB. she could not read itC. her husband needed some medicineD. her husband was anxious to know what it was about33.

He had been to London where he had drawn 50 from the bank, and he was now returning home with the money which he had put in his pocket book. At the loneliest part of the road a man in shabby, badly-fitting clothes stopped him and asked for a lift. Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued on his way. As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days ago. Mr. Green was very worried at the thought of the 50 that he had put in his pocket book. Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour. He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had seen him and had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Greens car. Mr. Green had hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but the man had taken a gun out of his pocket and had put it to Mr. Greens back .The policeman took out his notebook and pencil and said he wanted Mr. Greens name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station but the policeman said, “No, I want your name and address now. You will have to appear at the police court later.” So, Mr. Green gave the policeman his name and address. The policeman wrote it down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on. He had given up all hope of his 50, but just as he reached the outskirts of London, the passenger said he wanted to get out here. Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, “Thanks for the lift. Youve been good to me. This is the least I can do in return.” And he handed Mr. Green the policemans notebook.While the policeman had talked to Mr. Green, the thief had stolen the notebook.34.

Before 1750, the idea of skating didnt exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlins work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball(化装舞会).He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.

When were alone together, she and I somehow behave differently. We learn about each other. She learns that Im her father. I learn that shes my daughter. Its a strange feeling, but any parent knows what Im talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is. Whered she suddenly come from? And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents?When my daughter and I are alone, shell hold my hand and say, “I just love you so much, Daddy!” Shes so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great look on her face and says, “Weve got so much to do, Dad!” Theres nothing like it in the world.I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so Ive been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or somethinganything!But this closeness is not without its problems.

We may learn from the text that Sue Townsend is_.A. a writerB. an actressC. a musicianD. a directorFEnglish as a Foreign Language Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language. There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures？Or should we worry about the dangers of mono-culturalism, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music? Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary（相反），I would have thoughtalthough I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India（where many of them speak at least some English）and Pakistan（the same situation with India） If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonalds burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant（占主导地位的）, it will kill other languages ? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well. When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe its like a rose,” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses? ” Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you dont necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, thats fine by me. 47. By saying “Ask the people of Indiaand Pakistan”(in Paragraph 4),the author is trying to show that _. A. speaking the same language doesnt necessarily bring peace B. wars can destroy the relationship between two countries C. English doesnt kill other languages D. English is widely used in the world48. What does “garden” in the last two paragraphs stand for? A. LanguageB. FamilyC. The worldD. The Earth49. What does the sentence “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?” suggest?A. The author doesnt like roses at all. B. the author doesnt think it is necessary to make people speak one language. C. We should not learn English at all. D. No one likes roses in Ireland.50. The author would probably agree that _. A. its very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden B. its good for people from other countries to learn English C. more and more people like to plant roses in
