I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there were a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the cha
27、ir with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my method must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a
28、plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Ill give you twenty pounds.” “Its got a slightly brok
29、en leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, its nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean？Youve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I
30、ve changed my mind. Im sorry, Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,” I said, “what would you have done if I had walked in and said would you mend this chair for
31、 me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said, “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble.

This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their
34、 own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who wor
35、ry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so differen
36、t from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point abo
37、ut open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You
38、 may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes
39、. They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting.

CNowroz: Iranian New Year or Nowroz is celebrated on the first day of spring sometime in March. Nowroz ceremonies are symbolic representations of good and evil. People sing, dance and parade as
44、 in a carnival through the streets with drums and trumpets to spread the news of the coming new year.Rosh Hashanah: The Jewish New Year is called “Rosh Hashanah”, and is celebrated in the month of September. It is a holy time when people think of the things they have done wrong in the past, and prom
45、ise to do better in the future. Special prayers are held, and an instrument called a Shofar is played. Children are given new clothes, and New Year loaves are baked and fruits are consumed to remind people of harvest time.Shogatsu: In Japan, the New Year (Shogatsu) celebrations are from January 1 to
46、 January 3 and most Japanese dont work during these days. In Japan, years are traditionally seen as completely separate from each other, and the New Year is a fresh start. This means that in December all duties should be completed. Parties are held to forget the worries and troubles of the old year.
47、 Homes and cars are decorated. On New Years Eve, most people spend their time with their families.Bahai New Year: The Bahai people have their own calendar consisting of nineteen months of nineteen days plus a couple of extra days between the eighteenth and nineteenth months.

48、ted the Iranian custom of beginning the New Year in the spring equinox (春分). The day begins at sunset rather than midnight, and the New Year celebrations are held on the evening of March 20th.59.

51、ople say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow aisle, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is som
52、etimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started travelling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people. People thank each other everywhere in England, all the tim
53、e. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank thei
54、r employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough. Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emp
55、hasized (强调) several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is shown in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men a
56、re more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to Englishmen a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.62. What is the authors attitude towards English politeness?A. He thinks it is artificial. B.
57、He gives no personal opinion.C. He appreciates it. D. He thinks it goes too far.63. What can we learn about customers and retail assistants in Germany? A.

58、D. They always say thank you to each other.64. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _. A. are more likely to be involved in a fighting B. are more polite than Englishmen C. treat women in a polite way D. are not so willing to spend money for women65. The author of this text is most
59、 probably _. A. an Englishman B. a German C. a Scottish man D. a Welsh man66. The author develops the text through the method of _.
