“I say, I’m pleased to see you,” said the little man standing by the letter-box.

“Oh, hello,” I said, remembering he was a new neighbor. “Simpson, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s right.” He seemed quite pleased by my ready recognition.

“I wonder if you could lend me some money,” he continued. “My wife gave me a letter to post, and I’ve just noticed it isn’t stamped.”

“yes, they never are,” I said, sympathetically(同情地).

“It must go tonight—it really must! I’d get stamps out of the machine,” explained Simpson,” Only I find I have no small change about me.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I haven’t either,” I said.

“Oh, dear, dear,” he said.

“Yes, well,” I said, intending to move off. But he looked so unhappy standing there with the blue unstamped envelope that I really hadn’t the heart to desert him.

So I took him to my house and found some pennies and gave them to him, who, in the most business like way, made a note of the loan in his pocket-book, and left. But soon he turned up again.

“I’m sorry I am a stranger round here and —well, I’m rather lost…”

It took me several minutes to explain to him where the post office was. In the end I felt as lost as Simpson and had to accompany him to the post office, but, only to find the automatic stamp-machine was empty!

“Oh!” Simpson was so desperate that he dropped the letter on the ground and when he picked it up there was a large black spot on its face.

“Dear me,” he said, “My wife told me to post it tonight. I’d better post it, if you know what I mean.”

I did know. Or, at least, I knew Mrs Simpson.

Then I got a good idea, “Post the letter unstamped—let the other man pay double postage on it in the morning. ” And he had to agree.

Finishing off our job, I took him home.

“I’m so grateful to you, really,” he said when we reached his home. “That letter—it’s only an invitation to dinner to Mr… Dear me!”

“Why, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing. Just something I’ve remembered.”

“What?”

But he didn’t tell me. He just opened his eyes and his mouth at me like a wounded gold- fish, murmured(低声说话)a “Good-night”, and went inside.

All the way home I was wondering what it was that he had remembered.

But I stopped wondering the next morning, when I had to pay the postman double postage for a blue envelope with a large black spot on its face.

D. he was as foolish as Simpson

You probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?

Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high.

Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense(无意义)to listen on your MP3 player . Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.

Take One Out! Once in a while it's okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone.

It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

1.The underlined word "volume" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_________."

A. the amount of a sound B. the length of a song

2.We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_________.

A. may annoy others B. can hurt our ears

C. is bad for MP3 players D. will make us tired

3.If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, _________.

A. the theatre won't allow it

B. the actors will get angry

C. others won't hear the play well

D. we may miss part of the play

4.The main idea of this passage is about _________.

Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world. They usually go out to hunt for food when it is dark. When a tiger sees an animal, it moves quickly and then jumps on the animals to kill it. Sometimes it can take the tiger several days to finish eating its food. When the tiger is full, it will cover the dead animal with leaves. Later, when the tiger is hungry again, it comes back to eat some more.

Tigers are different from others in the cat family: they like water and often jump into rivers to swim. Some tigers live in very cold places in North Korea, Russia and China. Other tigers live in warmer places—in India and parts of Southeast Asia.

But now all tigers are in danger. Some people kill tigers to use their skins for clothes, and their bodies for medicine. There is also less and less land for tigers to live in.

A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking, Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(显著的)problem.

The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation(动机), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.

Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持)or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. Foreign students have more problems.

B. There are many ways to improve English.

C. Teaching should meet students’ needs.

D. English learning problems should be studied again.

2.Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students .

A. became less interested in reading

B. became better at speaking

C. had to write their papers

D. had fewer problems with listening

3.We may infer from the last two paragraphs that .

A. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging

B. different teaching methods should be used

C. English courses are necessary for foreign students

D. teaching content should be changed halfway

4.The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to“ ”.

A.re-think B. activity

C. motivation D. timetable
