Last week the manager of all old shop received a letter．As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till teatime．Then he opened it and $10 fell out onto his desk．Together with it was a short letter．It reads：
Dear sir,
In l935 I got engaged, but unluckily I lost my job．At that time a lot of people were out of work．Six months later I got a job again, but of course I was very short of money．
I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring．The girl took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment．and I put one of the tings in my pocket．When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend’s finger．So I left the shop without buying a ring．
My wife died a short while ago and that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience all these years．At that time the ring cost $2.80 I think the ring may cost about $10 now, and I came sending you the money．
Yours truly
A customer
“Well, well, well, ”said the manager．“Life is full of surprises．”

Very often, new-born babies are not beautiful．They are wrinkled (多皱的) or hairless, or they have an angry look on their faces．They seem to say, “Get away! I hate everybody．” But to a parent, that hairless, wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world．When a proud father or mother asks you, “Well, What do you think…isn’t she beautiful?” What are you going to say? Is this the time for the truth? Of course not!
You look that proud father in the eyes and say, “Yes, she is! She’s really a beauty．She’s one in a million．She’s going to be a movie star! I can tell! She’s as beautiful as a picture．”
In English, This is a white lie．White lies don’t hurt people．They are not cruel(残忍的) or angry words．People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier．When people don’t want to meet someone, or eat something new that they really don’t like at a friend’s house, they tell a white lie．They are trying to be kind．They don’t want to hurt anyone．It’s important to be honest (诚实的), but many people feel that being kind is sometimes more important．
56．Parents are usually when their babies are born．

D．You tell a mother that her new-born baby isn’t beautiful．
C
The customs in different countries are rather different．If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it．That often discomforts me greatly．I have to eat the food even if I do not want to because it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one’s food on the plate．I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty．This might be good manners in China but is not in the West at all．In the United Sates, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something．Americans have a direct way of speaking．If they want something, they will ask for it．If not, they will say, “No, thanks．” When an American is served with beer by host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks．I’ll take some orange juice if you have it．” That is what an American will do．So when you go to the United States, you’d better remember the famous saying: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do．”
61．From this passage we can see that the writer is ．
A．Chinese B．American C．Roman D．European
62．When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto his plate, the writer felt ．
A．happy B．sad C．bad D．great

A．the Romans are people of good manners
B．Americans always do the same things as the Romans do

Many places in the world need more fresh water．Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh water．
Why aren’t there many factories like the Symi factory?
In some places, the sun is not hot enough, or it does not shine every day．
In such places, other ways of heating sea water can be used．These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun．By boiling sea water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly．
But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water．Other ways are tried．
One way is freezing (冷冻)．The fresh part of salt water freezes first．To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out．

Symi’s way seems very good for small, hot places．It does not make very much water at a time．But the factory is easy to build and costs little．
That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi．
