     I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.

       Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the residents or selling old things to visitors. Nevertheless. This would really be a false impression. There has been smaller village commerce(商业),but its vigor(活力)is still remarkable.

       Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women prefer to go there and exchange the local news while purchasing, instead of purchasing up at a supermarket. And the shop owner knows well that personal service has a substantial(物质上的)cash value.

       His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an aged woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The wealthier customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big groups of industry or commerce.

       Most of the village shopkeepers I know, are individualists in their ways. For example, our shoemaker stares with a cold look at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair. Has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman(手艺人), work upon them. And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury(奢侈).

 

64.The writer considered the guidebook interesting because he found in it       .

       A.the names of so many of the shops in the village around

       B.many tradesmen serving local villagers in various ways

       C.the variety of services available in Victorian days in Britain

       D.information about jobs provided in his own and surrounding villages

       B.private enterprise should survive in a competitive world

       C.he welcomes personal competition with collectivized business

       D.he likes the idea of achieving business success in a special way

66.What is the village shoemaker’s reaction to mass-produced shoes?

       A.He considers they are not worth the effort of mending properly.

       B.He is angry with the customer for bringing in such rubbish.

       C.He looks down upon the low quality of industrialized products

       D.He hates those people who do not buy his handmade shoes.

67.What might be the writer’s implied idea by writing the article?

       A.An enterprise, big or small, will prosper as long as it takes trouble to satisfy.

       B.Modern collectivized companies have more disadvantages than an individual enterprise

All day long he flew, and at night-time he arrived at the city. “Where shall I put up?” he said; “I hope the town has made preparations.”

Then he saw the statue on the tall column.

    “I will put up there,” he cried; “it is a fine position, with plenty of fresh air.” So he flew down and settled just between the feet of the Happy Prince.

    “I have a golden bedroom,” he said softly to himself as he looked round, and he prepared to go to sleep; but just as he was putting his head under his wing a large drop of water fell on him. “What a curious thing!” he cried; “there is not a single cloud in the sky, the stars are quite clear and bright, and yet it is raining. The climate in the north of Europe is really dreadful.”

    Then another drop fell.

    “What is the use of a statue if it cannot keep the rain off?” he said; “I must look for a good chimney-pot,” and he determined to fly away.

    But before he had opened his wings, a third drop fell, and he looked up, and saw--Ah! What did he see?

    The eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden cheeks. His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity.

    “Who are you?” he said.

    “I am the Happy Prince.”

    “Why are you weeping then?” asked the Swallow, “you have quite wetted me.”

    “When I was alive and had a human heart,” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived in the Palace of Sans-Souci, where sorrow is not allowed to enter. In the daytime I played with my companions in the garden, and in the evening I led the dance in the Great Hall. Round the garden ran a very high wall, but I never cared to ask what lay beyond it, everything about me was so beautiful. People called me the Happy Prince, and happy indeed I was, if pleasure be happiness. So I lived, and so I died. And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugliness and all the misery of my city, and though my heart is made of lead yet I cannot choose but weep.”

“What is he not solid gold?” said the Swallow to himself. He was too polite to make any personal remarks out loud.

It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?" "Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" “people."

That means that the days of your children bounding (跳跃着跑) in the front door with the details of their day are over. They are breaking away from you so that they'll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.

Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children's closeness. Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult, they'll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who they are right now, they need to separate from you.

Your job, however, is to keep them safe ― and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with. Let them know clearly that it's not because you want to dominate (支配) their life and control them; it's because it's a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.

When they're home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈) , discuss a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in on theirs.

74. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Parents should understand their children.

B. Parents should keep their children safe.

C. Parents should open their hearts to their children.

D. Parents should give their children enough freedom.

A. To give advice.                                    B. To direct teenagers.

C. To present findings.                              D. To comfort parents.
