25、 Lifeline, I shall be getting married in August. My mother wants me to have a white wedding in church, because I am the only daughter, and she wants me to have the kind of wedding that she had. I, on the other hand, should like to have a simple wedding and a small party afterwards for my immediate f
26、amily and close friends. I dont want my parents to go to a lot of expense just for one day; Id rather they spent the money on things that my husband and I will need, that will last us for many years. Do you agree with me that this is a reasonable point of view? Can you think of a way in which I migh
27、t persuade my parents to think as I do? Yours, Money-ConsciousDear Money-Conscious, We agree that your point of view is reasonable; but reason isnt everything. Your parents clearly do not mind going to a lot of expense，as you put it. They would mind more if you prevented them from doing so.There is,
28、 in fact, no reason why a white wedding in church should cost a lot of money. Such a wedding can be very simple, yet it can give you the sort of happy memories that your mother has of her own wedding day. We suggest you meet your mother halfway. Have a simple church wedding and a simple party afterw
29、ards. If it means so much to your mother, perhaps you owe it to her to do as she wishes. We are sure that you will not regret it.Dear lifeline, I have known my girlfriend for six years. The other day, I asked her to marry me, certain that I knew what the answer would be. But she said she wanted to t
30、hink about it. I shall be going on holiday soon, and I hoped she would come with me; but now she says shed rather go on holiday with a friend of hers. Am I losing her? Yours, Deeply WorriedDear Deeply Worried, Perhaps you were too certain of your girlfriend. Six years is a long time. Perhaps you hav
31、e been in each others pockets for too long. Give yourselves a holiday from each other, and then ask her again on your return. We think you will find that she will then give you the answer that you want.56. It is the purpose of the Problem Page to A. write letters to lonely, troubled people. B. try t
32、o find answers to readers problems. C. ask readers to give their answers to problems. D. send questions to readers for their answers.57. Money-Conscious would like her parents to A. go to a lot of expense to buy what she will need. B. give her and her husband the money instead of a church wedding. C
33、. give her money over a period of years. D. spend the money on useful presents rather than on the wedding.58. Lifeline suggests a simple church wedding because A. this is the least expensive kind of wedding. B. you cannot be reasonable about something like a wedding. C. it can be inexpensive yet pro
34、vide a lifetimes memories. D. it is the simplest, yet happiest sort of wedding.59. Deeply Worried was worried that A. he might lose his girl-friend while they were on holiday together. B. his girlfriend was losing interest in him. C. he had known his girl-friend for too long. D. he would have to go
35、away on holiday by himself. B Dont Let Them Close Your School!Minutes of the meeting held in Malupit Community School on Wednesday 14th March at 8.00 p.m. Mr I. Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called the meeting to find out theviews of the community on local government plans to close the Malupit Commun
36、ity School at the end of the present school year. Mr Pomat acted as chairman of the meeting. He introduced Mr L. Karazin, the Planning Office of the Raval Education Department. Mr Karazin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three children at Malupit Community School. This was considered to be
37、 too high a number for the forming of two classes and the employment of two teachers. Mrs Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past twenty-two years, would be retiring from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close the school, because it is ex
38、pensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger schools in Raval, six miles away. Mrs Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Malupit, asked what would happen about transport to Ravel. Mr Karazin replied that the children would travel by bus. This would be provided by the Raval Transpo
39、rt Department, and it would take Malupit children to and from school free of charge. Another parent, Mr W. Riley, expressed the fear of many parents that closing the local school would mean that the children of Malupit would not grow up with the same sense of community as in the past. They would fee
40、l lost in the much larger schools in Raval. Mr Karazin replied that the Raval schools were not very large, and that, in any case the children would have to go to Raval later on for education at high-school level. The chairman voiced the view of the meeting when he said that there was good reason to
41、believe that there would soon be more young children living in Malupit. It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find that there were more than enough local children to form two classes and employ two teachers. A final point was made by Mr Colmar, a retired business man, that w
42、ithout Malupit Community School, there would be nowhere big enough for local clubs and organizations to hold their meetings. Mr Karazin promised that he would bring these points to the attention of the Education Department. Mr Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly after 9 oclock.60. The Plann
43、ing Office had decided to close the school because A. there were too many children in each class. B. the schools in Raval were bigger and better. C. it had too few children and it was expensive to run. D. the teacher was retiring and they could not find another.61. Mr Karazin said that the children
44、would A. travel by bus to Raval, without cost to their parents. B. travel to Raval in their parents cars. C. be taken each day by bus to the Raval Transport Department. D. go by bus to and from school at a low cost to parents.62. The Chairman voiced the view of the meeting means A. he was the one wh
45、o called the meeting to find out parents views. B. he spoke most at the meeting because he was chairman. C. he said what everyone at the meeting had asked him to say. D. he expressed the opinion held by everyone at the meeting.63. Mr Colmars point was that A. if there were no school, there would be
46、no school clubs or organizations. B. without a school, Malupit would not be big enough to have clubs and organizations. C. clubs and organisations would have to go to Raval for their meetings. D. the school was the only building in Malupit in which local clubs could meet. C Welcome to WarmansWarmans
47、, the makers of office materials, had advertised for a travelling salesman. Mr Barlow applied for the job, and soon afterwards was invited to the companys head office to meet Mr Snell, the sales manager. Mr Snell asked Mr Barlow what experience he had had as a salesman. “I worked as a salesman for a
48、 brush company until six months ago. I sold brushes, dusters, tins of polish, things like that. I went from door to door selling direct to housewives.” Mr Snell then asked him why he had left that job. “Well, to be honest, it was very hard work,” Mr Barlow replied. “It meant walking sometimes six or
49、 eight miles a day. But the real reason for leaving was that I didnt think very highly of the goods that I was selling. They were not of the best quality, and that made it difficult for me to be sincere when I had to tell housewives what wonderful brushes they were. I knew perfectly well they wouldn
50、t last beyond a month. Whats more, the pay was rather poor. I realized after a while that I wouldnt be able to support a family on the money I was earning.” “I see,” said Mr Snell. “So what did you do next?” “For the last six months I have been a salesman in a department store,”said Mr Barlow. “And
51、do you think you could sell Warmans office materials with a clear conscience?” Mr Snell asked. “Do you think you could be sincere, as you put it, about selling the papers, inks, copying-machines and so on that we produce here?” Mr Barlow said that he thought he could; that Warmans office materials e
52、njoyed a very high reputation, and that in his department at Caldwells he sold almost nothing else. He said he had always wanted to work for a big ocmpany with a good name; to travel all over the country, selling goods to other companies, rather than to housewives on doorstep; andhe added with a smi
53、leto enjoy the money and the working conditions offered with the job for which he had applied. “Mr Barlow,”said Mr Snell, “do you have a clean driving licence?” “Yes, I do,” Mr Barlow replied. “Then as long as your medical examination proves to be satisfactory, Im quite prepared to offer you the job
54、.” Mr Snell got up and shook Mr Barlow by the hand. “Congratulations,” he said, “and welcome to Warmans .”64. Mr Barlow was invited to the head office: A. to apply for a job as a travelling salesman. B. so that Mr Snell could decide whether he was the man for the job. C. to find out more about the j
55、ob of a travelling salesman. D. so that he could sell Caldwells office materials to Warmans.65. One reason why Mr Barlow left the job was that: A. he found it difficult being sincere to housewives after walking so far. B. he did not think he was selling enough. C. he found it difficult to say they w
56、ere good brushes when he knew they were not. D. he was unable to sell any of the brushes because they were of such poor quality.66. Another reason he left was that: A. he was given a job selling brushes and dusters at Caldwells. B. he applied for the job of travelling salesman at Warmans. C. his fam
57、ily did not support him in his work as a brush salesman. D. he was not earning enough money as a brush salesman.67. Mr Marlow thought he could be sincere about selling Warmans office materials because A. Warmans would pay him well to sell their materials. B. Warmans materials were known to be of hig
58、h quality. C. he was used to selling them, so knew how to do it. D. he would not have to sell direct to housewives. D Fire and WaterShundagarh is a village on Indias east-facing coast. It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the water- line. The Khadra Hills rise
59、 immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills, overlooking Shundagarh. From his fields he could see the fishing-boats that travelled up and down the coast. H
60、e could see the children playing on the sand; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or reparing nets and telling stories that had no end. All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and
61、 day out, the miserable hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking potsand his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enoughnot well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was li
62、ttle or no rain, then he came close to the line between a life which was too hard, and death itself. Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He had
63、 been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife and children. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this. On th
64、e day on which Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometres out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shout
65、ed, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke
66、was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur; and there they buried him. On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who died, g

E Six Pence Per SecondSarah and Brian have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Sarah has promised her mother that she will ring her t
71、o let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she has done ever since she was a child. Brian thinks it is a silly idea to ring so far, to spend so much, and to say so little. “If there were an accident,” he says, “theyd know soon enough. Bad news travels fast.” But Sarah has promis
72、ed that she would ring. “Besides,” she says, “it doesnt cost much when you consider that its the other side of the world. Its only six pence per second.” “If youre on that telephone for less than one minute, Ill eat my hat,” Brian says. “And one minutes nearly four pounds.” “Thats no more than youd

Is that you?” she says. “Six pence per second,”Brian reminds her. “Hello, love.” It is Mrs Lee, Sarahs mother, speaking from London. “My word, you do
74、 sound clear. You could be in the next room. Its a better line than when you used to call me from the University. Do you remember? I used to shout and still you couldnt hear me sometimes. And just think, youre on the other side of the world.” “Yes, Mum,”Sarah puts in, “I just wanted to ring to.” “I
75、remember how you used to ring when you went to Bettys house to tea, when you were a little girl. And then when you used to go to camp with the Guides.” Mrs Lee is a great talker. “Nearly four pounds,” says Brian. Sarah manages to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye. “Yes, all right,” says
76、 Mrs Lee. “But you will write, wont you, like you used to do when you were at University.” Once again, Mrs Lee speaks fondly of the past, and there is no stopping her. “Four pounds fifty,” says Brian. Finally, Sarah cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off. “There! That wasnt long, wa
77、s it?” “Four pounds, ninety pence,” Brian replies. “And you didnt even say that weve arrived!”72. Sarah is telephoning home to A. tell her mother some bad news. B. say that she and Brian have arrived safely. C. report an accident to her mother. D. say that she and Brian have left London.73. Sarah do
