Dear Boris,

1   

After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better.    2   Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects are different too!  Some of their accents are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.

3    Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day.  That’s quite wrong!  I get rather annoyed now when I hear all the foolish words about typical English food.

I had expected to see “London fog”.  Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this “thick fog” disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes.  But the idea to speak about weather was very helpful.   4  On the other hand, habits are different.  People tell me what is typical British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland.   5  

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions(传统).  Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries.  And people have always been proud of having ancient (古老的) buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.

I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.

Love from Britain.

A.The weather in London is really changeable.

B.I have difficulty in understanding my classmates.

C.Thanks for your nice letter.

D.The family I live with are friendly.

E. It’s very different from what I learned at school.

F. Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew.

G. But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising.

 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Is the customer always right?  1.  Shopping is very much a part of a country’s culture, and

attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste

in food.

Recent economic hardship has given the consumers increased power in Europe because shopkeepers fight to win their share of reduced disposable(可支配的)income.This has meant failing prices,plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means. 2. In restaurants in the south of the USA,for example,waiters compliment.(恭维)you on your clothes,ask about your day,compliment you on your wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.

Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in fl restaurant may possibly dream of such customer service. 3. a fact,different nationalities expect different types of service.As a friend of mine once told me,"By the end of evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife."

A Chinese-American friend loves telling people about how her Chinese mother shops for clothes.First of all she waits until they are on sale. 4.And later she finds some small fault with the product and demands a further reduction.She never buys anything at the regular price.Could you imagine trying such ways in department stores in other countries?

Attitudes to service are,of course,affected by employers’ attitudes to their workers.As American waiters heavily depend on tips,they have to provide more service.But is this fair? 5. It might not be a case of"Is the customer always right ?"but a case of” How much service is it fair to expect?"

A.People often point to America as an example of good customer service.

B.It is a question of expectations.

C.Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings or on Sundays?

D.Then she asks for a discount until she gets an even better price.

E.The answer,it seems,depends on which country you are in.

F.The way we shop shows the way we get along with other people.

G.However,do Europeans really want US style service?

 

 

I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket, whether it was for speeding, parking or stop sign violations(违反). It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club.

I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work, I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it.

The truth is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted(思想不集中的) that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on.

The policeman was rude and took my papers. Luckily, I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before, there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”, I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road, perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call.

People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it. Frankly, it never occurred to me. I felt guilty(有罪的). Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there, as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy(悲剧).

1.What is this passage mainly about?

A. The writer’s most unforgettable experience.

B. How the writer got her first ticket.

C. An accident caused by the writer.

D. Why the writer is always so careful.

2.We can infer that the underlined part “the club” in Paragraph 1 here refers to         .

A. people who are crazy about driving cars

B. a club for drivers without much experience

C. people who get tickets for breaking traffic rules

D. a club for people to talk about their driving stories

3.What made the writer unable to focus on(集中思想) her driving?

A. Planning how to spend the vacation.

B. Thinking of the forgotten vacation.

C. Thinking about her work.

D. Missing her children.

4.When the writer received the ticket, she         .

A. felt lucky that she was an experienced driver

B. was so nervous that she shook all over

C. was ashamed of herself for being distracted

D. was worried about being laughed at
