Most Americans think that ice cream is as American as baseball and apple pie. But ice cream was known long before America was discovered.

The Roman emperor Nero may have made a kind of ice cream. He hired hundreds of men to bring snow and ice from the mountains. He used it to make cold drinks. Traveler Marco Polo brought back recipes for chilled and frozen milk from China.

Hundreds of years later, ice cream reached England. It is said that King Charles enjoyed that treat very much. There is a story that he bribed his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a royal secret.

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you're not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it's a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it's important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren't used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask his/her advice.

Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don't worry if you begin to lose your breath. Shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

18. The words "Along with" (in Para. 1, line 1) most probably means _________

A. In accordance with

B. Except for

C. In addition to

D. Instead of

19. Cycling is good for people with painful back because _________

A. they can avoid putting all their weight on their feet

B. they can have some exercise on their back

C. they must start slowly and build up gently

D. they can relieve pain from the back

20. The probable result of sudden exercise is that _________

A. you might get a little out of breath

B. you will lose your breath

C. you can get your muscles hurt

D. you' ll find you are in pain with your heart

21. What is the writer's purpose of writing this article?

A. To give amusement

B. To make criticism

C. To give advice

D. To give warning

(D)

Dear Sir,

I am writing to make a strong complaint about the impolite treatment my guests, my colleague and I received when we visited your restaurant last Friday evening.

On booking a table for four by telephone on Tuesday we were assured that there would be room for us despite the fact that your restaurant had been open only for a few weeks and all the tables had already been booked.

We appreciate that there must be great demand for restaurant meals at this time of the year in such a popular and historic area but we were not expecting such an ill-mannered reception on the part of your head waiter.

Our Chinese friends are currently touring the 'Shakespeare Country' and were looking forward to a traditional English dinner in such a charming setting. But our hopes for an enjoyable evening out were instantly spoilt when your head waiter informed us that he had received no booking in our name and, so, no table was reserved for our party. My colleague and I protested at this and asked to speak to the Manager, who, we were told, was unavailable.

Your staff then offered us a table which we all had to share with another couple and no effort was made to smooth over the unpleasantness we had experienced. We also had to wait for some considerable time before the menu was brought to us.

I trust you will give this complaint your prompt attention as the whole embarrassing incident was

a great disappointment to our guests and set a bad example to our English hospitality.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Paul J. Weller

22. Mr. Weller could be described as being _________

A. disappointed

B. impolite

C. moderately dissatisfied

D. hurt and angry

23. The writer had the unpleasant experience in _________

A. a hotel

B. a Chinese restaurant

C. a restaurant in Shakespeare’s birthplace

D. a bar in London

24. Mr. Weller hopes that this letter of complaint _________

A. will be looked into at once

B. will embarrass the manager

C. will result in the restaurant being closed

D. will cause the quick dismissal of the head waiter
