So she never played any important part in the film. She was angry and had to marry Mr. More who was a millionaire though he was much older than her. Her husband loves her very much and tries his best to satisfy her with everything. Now the woman is interested in music and plays the piano when she is free. She considers herself a pianist though she hasnt made any progress at all.Once day Mr. More was busy with his business and he was very tired when he got home. After a quick supper he went to bed in a hurry while his wife was practicing playing the piano downstairs. But she played so badly that he couldnt fall asleep because of the noise. He had to get up and began to wander on the balcony.Finding this, his wife asked, “Why are you walking there when Im playing the piano? Dont you like to listen to it?”“No, dear,” answered Mr. More. “I want your neighbors to see Im not playing the piano inside!”41.

Mr. More tried to make his wife angryBIn the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the morning, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and needs immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he thinks its a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call passes on importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests will feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to dinner party is given only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In the other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment(约会) too early because plans which are made for a date more than a week away are easily forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings are caused. Promptness(即时) is of high value in American life. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize(道歉). If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete his sentence.46. “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.” Here “attach” means_.A. taken B. drawn C. given D. shown47. Supposing one wants to make a telephone call late in the evening, this would mean _.A. the matter is important B. the matter is rather importantC. the matter needs immediate attention D. it is a matter of life and death48.
