When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所).I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation 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 away 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 ‘vacancies’.So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCIES’, 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 hole.

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 “No, thank you.”

1.My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.

A.learning English

2.I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______.

A.they would be able to practise their English

B.it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C.it would be convenient for them to have dinner

D.there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

3.If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.

A.fall into a hole

B.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C.find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

D.have to take a different road

Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,”he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mom.”

Things started well,but just after eight o’clock,his three little “good kids”—Mike,Randy,and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast,daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍).Mike chanted “Where’s my toast,where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o’clock,things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

At exactly 11∶17,Brad called the daycare centre(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?”The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

1.When his wife left home,Brad expected to________.

A. enjoy his first day off work

B. watch TV talk show with his children

C. go out for a walk in the park

D. read the newspaper to his children

2.Which of the following did Randy do?

A. Drawing on the wall. B. Eating apple jam.

C. Feeding the fish. D. Reading in a room.

3.Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?

B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office.

C. Because he had to take his wife back home.
