When I told my family that I was thinking of taking a cooking job, the roars of laughter w

ere rather discouraging. No one believed that I could cook at all, as I had never had achance to practise at home, Our cook had ruled in the kitchen for thirty years and had an annoying tendency to regard the saucepans, stove and all the kitchen fittings as her own property. I once crept down there when I thought she was asleep in her room to try out an omelette (妙蛋). Noiselessly I removed a frying pan from its hook and the eggs from their cupboard. It was the pop of the gas that woke her, I think, for I was just breaking the first egg when a pair of slippered feet moved round the door and a shout of horror caused me to break the egg on the floor. This disaster, together with the fact that I was using her one very special beloved and cared for frying-pan, upset her so much that she locked herself in the store room with all the food and we had to make our Sunday dinner of bananas. If the family weren&39;t going to be helpful I would look for a job all by myself and not tell them about it until I&39;d got one. I had seen an agency in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say "Where are you going?" I rushed out of the house in search of it. I sat on the edge of a chair and could see my nose shining out of the corner of my eye.I thought perhaps it was a good thing; it might look more earnest. The woman at the desk examined me through her glasses. Having asked me a few questions, she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience. "But," she said, "I&39; ve got someone who needs a cook badly. " She wrote down a number, and my spirits went up as I took the slip of paper she held out to me, saying:“Ring up this lady. She wants a cook. You wouldhave to start tomorrow by cooking dinner for ten people. Could you manage that?" “Oh yes," said I, never having cooked for more than four in my life.

Of the following, which would best characterize the response of the author’s family to her plan of taking a cooking job?

A.Pleased

B.Doubtful

C.Uncomfortable

D.Positive

The cook felt uncomfortable when____.A.She heard a shout of horror

B.she heard the sound of a pair of slippered feet moving round the door

C.she saw the author creep down to the kitchen

D.she saw the author break an egg on the floor

B.she couldn’t answer the question her family would ask

C.that was the only chance for her to leave the house

D.didn’t want to reveal what she was going to do

听力原文: Last summer, I took my first flight from London to New York. I boarded the plane
at Crayon Airfield and, from that moment on, my life was arranged for me on the trip. First, I was directed to my seat by the stewardess, and then when the plane was ready to take off, the other passengers and I were told to fasten our seat belts. A few minutes after take-off, magazines and newspapers were passed out. Because my ears hurt, I was given some gum to chew. Next, we were given instructions on what to do in case of an emergency. We were given earphones to listen to music and told that a movie would be shown after dinner. Before dinner, we were asked if we wanted a cocktail. Dinner was served on a tray, and it was attractive and delicious. We were permitted to have a refill on any beverage. After the dinner, we were shown a new Hollywood movie. When I felt cold, I was given a blanket, when I felt airsick the stewardess gave me a paper bag, Everything was done for the comfort of the passengers. When the plane landed, I was almost sorry to get off and have to start doing things for myself again.

听力原文:I am writing to thank you for the interesting reports which appeared in the July

听力原文: I am writing to thank you for the interesting reports which appeared in the July '94 edition of Saturday Evening Post. I am interested in your reports since B12 deficiency is an inherited disorder in my family. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a research project was carried out on it by London medical school.

My grandmother was 49 when she started vitamin t312 injections in 1949, She was admitted to the hospital with a blood disease. My mother was 63 when she began vitamin B12 injections. After reading your article, I believe her treatment was started too late. At the time, she almost lost her eyesight and was told that she had another diseases.

Earlier this year, I visited my doctor and explained that 1 felt very tired and asked for a blood test to establish whether I was suffering from B12 deficiency. I was told I was much too young and that only people in their 80s suffered B12 deficiency. I told him he was wrong and that research was carried out on my family 30 years ago.

I have always believed that prevention is better than cure. I now know why I love Kellogg's Honey Nut Cornflakes. They contain vitamins, including B12! If foods contain added vitamins, as

you suggest in your article, then B12 deficiency and diseases associated with it should be left to the past.

(33)

A.It is a thank-you letter to a medical doctor.

B.It is an advertisement for vitamin B12.

C.It is a letter to the editor of a magazine.

D.It is a preface to a book on vitamins.

Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse, it was already dark when I arrived at his house.

I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb up and open the window.

I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a torch up at me, I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vemon's neighbours. "What are you doing up there?" said the policeman. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied, "I was just going to feed Mr. Davies's birds."

听力原文: As my train was not due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some newspapers to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect my suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting. I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found.

When my turn came, I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. He then handed me a form. and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. Only when they were correct could I take the case away. I racked my brain trying to remember all the articles I had packed in a hurry. After I had filled out the form, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases and for one dreadful moment I began to worry that someone might have already claimed my case. To my great relief, the case was lying on its side high up in a corner. After I had examined the items inside, the assistant told me to take the case away. Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling note and the "lost" receipt flipped out with it. Blushing, I looked up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen.

(23)

A.A Trip by Train.

B.The "Lost" Receipt.

C.An Embarrassing Moment.

D.At the Luggage Office.

ly pretty sad.

W: What happened? Ryan.

M: Well, my grandpa said that his father never hung out with him or played ball or anything because he was really old. I guess my grandpa was born when his dad was like 50 or something.

W: Right, so he was too old to play basketball and stuff.

M: Yeah, and then when my grandpa was about 18 his dad died. The last thing his dad said to him was that he was sorry they could never play ball together.

W: Wow that's really sad.

M: I know. So my grandpa decided he would never let that happen with his kids, and I think he probably told that same story to my dad so that he would remember too.

W: That's cool. I think it's so lame that my dad just doesn't get it. He's too busy thinking about work or whatever.

M: Yeah, maybe you should tell him the story.

W: That's a good idea.

M: Dads can be really thick-headed sometimes but if you tell them enough they will finally understand that you mean it.
