Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in de
18、partment stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people
19、on the phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering l
20、oudly, Why he dont send me cheek, already two week late.”And then, in perfect English I said, Im getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived. Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to
21、the stockbroker again, I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the cheek immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week. The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his
22、boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was
23、 the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.41. Why was the authors mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.42. From Paragraph 2, we know

26、ect to non-native speakersC. has a very bad reputation in AmericaD. may bring inconvenience in AmericaBHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on
27、the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I thin
28、k I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The fou
29、r years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things be
30、came even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to the hard times.My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated
31、 at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen
32、 in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.46. How did the author get to know America?A.

36、lic and the symbol of the supreme authority in France.

37、e and graceful, is a two-storey classical stone architecture of European style, and beside it are two side buildings facing each other and with an extensive rectangular courtyard in the middle. There are altogether 369 halls and rooms of different sizes.The Elysee Palace, built in 1718, has a long h
38、istory of close to 300 years to date. This house was at first a private residence of a count (伯爵) named dEvreau, so it was called Hotel dEvreau. It had later gone through many changes and its owners had been changed for many times, but all the residents in it were distinguished (高贵的) persons and hig
39、h officials. The house was renamed Bonaparte Mansion when it was owned by Louis X V and Louis X VI successively when they acted as emperors.

40、as elected president, and the house became a Royal Palace when he declared himself as emperor.

45、ish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the fami
46、ly. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and
47、 they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays” is vacaciones. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said VACANCLES, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said NO VACANCLES, because they thought this mean
48、t the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word DIVERSION means fun. In English, it means that workmen a
49、re repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone off
50、ered me some more coffee, I said Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more, however, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!
