Until last year, the saddest thing of my life was that my wife Alice and I couldn’t have any children. So we always 71 all the children in our street to our house for Christmas breakfast.
Last year, Alice died. I was very 72 and decided not to invite the children for Christmas breakfast. But Kathy and Pete, my next door 73 , asked me to join them for dinner
74 Christmas Eve.
As soon as I arrived and took off my coat, Kathy asked me, “Do you have any milk at your house?”
“Yes,” I 75 . “If you need some, I’ll go and get it right away.”
“Oh, that’s all right. Come and sit down. The kids have been 76 for you. Just give Peter your keys and let him do it.”
After a happy dinner with them, I went home. When I opened my door, I found my house had been decorated by Peter! It was 77 as beautiful as each Christmas before. At that moment, I wished that I could still serve the Christmas breakfast, but I had 78 no preparations (准备) .
Early the next morning, a little boy with a bag of candies 79 my bell. Before I could ask him what was happening, he was joining by two of his friends. Within fifteen minuets, my house was 80 of children, and I had all the food I needed for the usual Christmas breakfast. I had a happy breakfast with the children again.

查看习题详情和答案>>Dear Boris，
Thanks for your nice letter．
After I had spent a week with my English family，I slowly began to understand
their English a little better．It，s very different from what I learned at school!
Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects(方言)are different too! Some of their accents(口音)are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions．
But it's not the language that’s different and surprising．Before I。came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day．That's quite wrong! I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical(典型的)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 helpfu1．The weather in London is really changeable．
On the other hand habits are different．People tell me what is typically British
1ere in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland．Local habits and traditions
are not the same as what we knew．
But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions．Probably Britain has more living, signs of its．past than many other countries．And ways been proud of having ancient buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside．
I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters．
Love from Britain,
Pete

查看习题详情和答案>>to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the Louvre in Pairs or watching animals in Africa. Nowadays
he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of
thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there
are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.
As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete
where he got the idea from. He told me that his favourite source of ideas was a DIY programme on TV.
This got me thinking about the popularity of DIY programmes in the UK. Nearly every channel has at least
one home or garden makeover show and there's even a DIY satellite channel.
I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain
—" an Englishman's home is his castle" and "there's no place like home"-show how important our houses are to
us. With the recent economic downturn, many people can't afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking
at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.
But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home improvements in
the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by tools.
I won't be going down to the hardware (五金) store. I'd rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea!
B. cleaned
C. built
D. designed
B. take DIY as an enjoyable job
C. like watching all TV programmes
D. have enough money to spend on houses
3. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer _____.
B. likes watching DIY programmes
C. is becoming interested in DIY
D. has no plan to do DIY himself
