14.Dear Miss Manners,Friends of mine lost their home in a house fire.It was terrible.Another friend set up a"go fund me"type page for friends and to donate and help the couple.Many friends,including me,helped with money,meals,lamprey and their dog while they were getting back on their feet.
Last week,they sent thankyou notes.My roommate received one addressed to her and I did not.The notes were not in modularized; it was a printed onesizefitsall message.My roommate realized I didn't receive a thankyou note,so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out.I didn't know she had done this until later.
The next day,I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me!(Miss Manners,they didn't even address the notes themselves!) It was accompanied by a picture of the thankyou note,which was texted to me with the message,"Here is a thank you just for you."
I was a little annoyed.I helped them in their need and didn't get a second thought.I have not responded to her text message.Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over?Should I tell her that I am upset,or should I accept that this rude thank you was better than nothing?

分析 作者主要介绍了自己和舍友一起帮助了遭受火灾的一对夫妇,没想到没有收到感谢信,而舍友收到了.作者为此写信向Miss Manners征求意见.
解答 25:D 推理判断题.根据文章最后一段一连串的疑问句和第一句话I was a little annoyed可知Mary写这封信就是为了寻求关于处理她烦恼的建议.故选D.
26:B 推理判断题.根据文章第一段的Many friends,including me,helped with money,meals,lamprey and their dog while they were getting back on their feet排除A;根据文章第四段的第一句话The next day,I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me!(Miss Manners,they didn't even address the notes themselves!)排除D;根据文章的第二段My roommate realized I didn't receive a thankyou note,so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out排除C;根据文章的倒数第二段可知作者至今还没有收到正式的感谢信,仅仅收到一张表示感谢的picture,由此判断选B.
27:D 推理判断题.careless粗心的;considerate体贴的;unbelievable不可相信的;unreliable不能依赖的.根据文章的一连串发问,特别是最后一段第二句话I helped them in their fume of need and didn't get a second thought可知作者认为那对夫妇是不可信赖的.故选D.

Since it was announced on Monday that 84-year-old Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win the international prize,her former home in the old town of Ningbo,Zhejiang province,has attracted visitors,especially parents and their children-even though it is not open to the public.
The house,which is for sale,is part of a complex of 37traditional buildings,including several city-and district-level cultural relic preservation sites,that have been transformed into a high-end art and commercial zone.
Tu won the prize for developing a lifesaving malaria drug,artemisinin,a staple of traditional Chinese medicine,which has helped save millions of lives across the globe.
"There are continually parents taking their children,from infants in strollers to college students,to take photos in front of Tu's former home.Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock,"said a sales person surnamed Zhao,from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co.
Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei,who was on a trip to Ningbo,took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday.
"Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers.Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities is a way to inspire them to study harder,"Xu said.
Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2012.
Tourists started visiting Mo's former home in rural Gaomi,Shandong province,in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize.Some even plucked the radishes planted in front of the house and carted away some bricks.
Another site that has become a bigger tourist attraction these days because of Tu's success is the Luofu Mountain scenic area in Huizhou,Guangdong province,where Ge Hong,a TCM master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-340)picked herbs,developed herbal medicines and wrote the classic Manual of Clinical Practice and Emergency Remedies.
After winning the Lasker Award in the United States in 2011,Tu said she and her team were inspired by Ge's theory to solve the puzzle in getting artemisinin(青蒿素) from the herb Artemisia annual,also known as sweet wormwood.
A garden and a monument on Luofu Mountain celebrate Ge's dedication.The mountain is home to 3,000species of plants,including more than 1,200with medicinal uses.
