A

Mrs. More hoped to be an actress when she was young. But she was always out of luck and the directors didn’t pay any attention to her. So she never played any important part in the film. She was angry and had to marry Mr. More who was a millionaire though he was much older than her. Her husband loves her very much and tries his best to satisfy her with everything. Now the woman is interested in music and plays the piano when she is free. She considers herself a pianist though she hasn’t made any progress at all.

Once day Mr. More was busy with his business and he was very tired when he got home. After a quick supper he went to bed in a hurry while his wife was practicing playing the piano downstairs. But she played so badly that he couldn’t fall asleep because of the noise. He had to get up and began to wander on the balcony.

Finding this, his wife asked, “Why are you walking there when I’m playing the piano? Don’t you like to listen to it?”

“No, dear,”answered Mr. More. “I want your ne ighbors to see I’m not playing the piano inside!”

B

In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the morning, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and needs immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he thin ks it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call passes on importance.

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests will feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to dinner party is given only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In the other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment(约会) too early because plans which are made for a date more than a week away are easily forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings are caused. Promptness(即时) is of high value in American life. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize(道歉). If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete his sentence.

46. “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.”

Here “attach” means_________.

A. taken

B. drawn

C. given

D. shown

47. Supposing one wants to make a telephone call late in the evening, this

would mean ________.

A. the matter is important

B. the matter is rather important

C. the matter needs immediate attention

D. it is a matter of life and death

48. According to the passage, the writer may agree to which of the following?

A. it is proper(合适的) to send your invitation cards to your guests three

or four days before a dinner party date in the USA.

B. it maybe proper to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four

days before a dinner party date in some countries.

C. It is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much

less.

D. If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.

V 阅读填空（共10个小题，计10分）

Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better

if he or she wants to. Here’s how.

(1)Plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a

list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First plan your time for eating, sleeping, dressing etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problem, but I will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

(2)Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area.

Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios or television!

When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

(3)Make good use of time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen

to everything the teacher says. Really listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

(4)Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes.

Revise the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that materials. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the materials will become more meaning, and you will remember it longer.

(5)Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show

what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world wo n’t end if you don’t pass a test., so don’t be overly worried.

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will

probably discover many others after you have tried these. How to become a better student
