Mrs. Baker’s sister was ill. She had someone to look after her from Monday to Friday, but not at the weekend, so every Friday evening Mrs. Baker used to go off to spend the weekend with her at her home in a neighbouring town. But as Mr. Baker could not cook, she had arranged (安排) for his sister to come over and spend the weekend looking after him at their home. This meant that Mr. Baker had busy time when he came home from work on Friday evenings. First he had to drive home from the railway station. Then he had to drive his wife to the station to catch her train. And then he had to wait until his sister’s train arrived, so as to take her to his house.
Of course, on Sunday evening he had to drive his sister to the station to catch her train back home, and then wait for his wife’s train, so as to bring her home.
One Sunday evening, he had seen his sister off on her train and was waiting for his wife’s arrival when a porter ( 搬運工 ), who had often seen him at the station, came over and spoke to him, “You are having a lot of fun,” he said, “ But one day one of those women is going to catch you with the other, and then you will be in real trouble!”
小題1: Who was ill?  ___________
A．Mr. BakerB．Mrs. BakerC．Mr. Baker’s sisterD．Mrs. Baker’s sister
小題2: Who looked after the sick person on weekdays?
A．Mr. Baker’s sisterB．Mrs. Baker’s sister
C．Mrs. BakerD．Someone acting as a nurse
小題3: Why did Mr. Baker go to the railway station on Friday and Sunday evening? __________
A．Because he had to see his wife and sister off and brought them home.
B．To take his sister to his own home.
C．To bring his wife back home.
D．To look after his sister.
小題4: Where did Mr. Baker spend the weekend?  ___________
A．At homeB．In his officeC．In his sister’s homeD．In a neighbouring town
小題5: Why did the porter say Mr. Baker would be in trouble?   Because __________.
A．Mr. Baker was making fun of the two ladies
B．Mrs. Baker would laugh at her husband
C．He thought the two women are Mr. Baker’s girl friends
D．The two ladies were playing games with Mr. Baker

小題1:D
小題2: C
小題3: A
小題4: A
小題5: C

試題分析：
小題1:根據(jù)Mrs. Baker’s sister was ill.可知選D。
小題2:根據(jù)so every Friday evening Mrs. Baker used to go off to spend the weekend with her at her home in a neighbouring town.可知在周末貝克太太親自照顧自己的妹妹，故選C。
小題3:根據(jù)he had to drive his wife to the station to catch her train. And then he had to wait until his sister’s train arrived, so as to take her to his house.可知選A，因為他得送他的妻子和妹妹，接他們回家。
小題4:通過閱讀短文可知貝克先生不會做飯，在周末由自己的妹妹來家里為自己做飯，故可知他在自己家，選A。
小題5:通過每周他都定期接一個送一個女人，可知這個搬運工誤會了他的妻子和妹妹的身份，故選C。
點評：本文描述了妻子貝克太太的妹妹生病了，自己在周末去照顧她。丈夫不會做飯，妻子就安排丈夫的妹妹來給丈夫做飯。由于每周都重復這樣的故事，結(jié)果在車站被搬運工誤會為這兩個人都是貝克先生的女朋友。本文邏輯性很強，閱讀中注意從關鍵詞理解句意，如：Mrs. Baker’s sister和for his sister to come over可知這是兩個妹妹，一個是妻子的，一個是丈夫的。還要注意進行合理的分析推理，理解句意隱含的意義。

Dear sir,
I read your story (of the 4th February) about the cost of living in the country rather than in the town, and I agree with most of your opinions.My husband and I lived in the middle of Horlton until two years ago a seaside (海邊) town of nearly five hundred thousand people.When my husband stopped working, we moved to our present house in a small village at the foot of Roland Hill, and there is no doubt (疑問) that our costs are higher now.
I have to do my shopping in small shops, where the food is more expensive than in city supermarkets; it costs more to travel by bus; and because the men who come to mend the television or the washing-machine, have to come further, we have to pay them more.
But it does not cost us much to enjoy what is beautiful in the country; and peace and quiet are cheap.It takes many people a lot of time and money to drive into the country to enjoy the simple things of life; yet we can enjoy them just by going out of the front door.It costs more to live here than it did in Horlton, but now life really is worth (值得) living.
Yours faithfully,
Edith Randall (Mrs)

B．a(chǎn) small village beside the sea

小題2:It costs more to live in the country because __________.
A．the men who mend the television have to come by bus
B．food costs more in small shops
C．the television goes wrong more often in the country
D．Mrs Randall has to travel by bus to the city supermarket
小題3:Although it costs less to live in a town, __________.
A．life is more worth living in the country

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.
I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!

When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learnt French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me.
“Yes,”I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,”he exclaimed (驚呼).“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young？”
“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”
“Oh!”he said.“There’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we did meet up, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me.“I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say.
