Every day she fed it with fruit and sugar.Three months later the woman went back to her parents’ home, having quarrelled with her husband. Soon the elephant refused to eat and work. It appeared to be ill and heart—broken. One morning after several weeks the animal disappeared from the house.It went to the woman’s home.

All of Rick seemed to be shown in the eyes, with a strong feeling that ought to have hurt him“You knew me,” Rick said. “You hadn’t forgotten.”“You’re ——just the same,” the boy said, and felt much thankful.He seemed even to be wearing the same clothes, the same blue shirt and grey trousers. He was thin, but he was built to be lean; and he was still, or again, sunburnt (晒黑了). After everything, the slow white smile still showed the slight feeling of happiness.“Let’s look at you,” Rick said, dropping into a chair. Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick, as if nothing had happened. There were lines about his eyes, and deeper lines on his cheeks (面颊), but he looked like——just Rick, lined by sunlight and smiling.“When I look at you,” he said, “You make me think about me, for we look like each other.”“Yes,” said the boy, eagerly, “they all think we both look like my grandfather.”1.

Scientists have reason to believe that trees do municate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Theneven more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?1.

When it was brought, the nobleman took a spoonful, but the soup was so hot that he burned his mouth and tears came to his eyes, The merchant asked him why he was weeping. The nobleman was ashamed to admit (承认) that he had burned his mouth and answered, “Sir, I once had a brother who mitted a great crime (犯罪), for which he was hanged. I was thinking of his death, and that made me weep.” The merchant believed this story and began to eat his soup. He too burned his mouth, so that he had tears in his eyes.

To have read Gulliver’s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man’s inhumanity (残酷) to man. To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like todrift (漂流) down the Mississippi River on a raft (木排). To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose—thumbing at (对……的蔑视) society. To have readNative Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated(受挫折) in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated. This is effective munication (交流). It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries a ge. It is not true that “We have only one life to live.” If we read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.1.

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find acmodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of acmodat ion gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were awa y on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French.I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘Mo, thank you.’1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car2. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______.A. they would be able to practise their EnglishB. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotelsC. it would be convenient for them to have dinnerD. there would be no problem about finding acmodation there3. “NO VACANCIES” in English means ______.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holidayD. holidays4. If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.A. fall into a holeB. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselfC. find that the road is blocked by crowds of peopleD. have to take a different road5. When someone offered me more coffee and I said‘Thank you’ in French, I ______.A didn’t really want any more coffee B. wanted them to take the coffee pot awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to express my politeness6.

Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to have to go back there every night, so she rented (租用) an expensive flat in the centre of the city, bought some beautiful furniture (家具) and hired a man to paint the rooms in new colours.It was very difficult to get tickets for her show because everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were the words “Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance,£3,” with this note：“After 5 p.m.I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings.”。
