Dear Miss Manners，

Friends of mine lost their home in a house fire.It was terrible.Another friend set up a “go fund me” type page for friends and to donate and help the couple.Many friends, including me, he lped with money, meals, lamprey and their dog while they were getting back on their feet.

Last week, they sent thank­you notes.My roommate received one addressed to her and I did not. The notes were not in modularized; it was a printed one­size­fits­all m essage.My roommate realized I didn't receive a thank­you note, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out.I didn't know she had done this until later.

The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me！(Miss Manners, they didn't even address the notes themselves！)It was accompanied by a picture of the thank­you note, which was texted to me with the message, “Here is a thank you just for you. ”

I was a little annoyed.I helped them in their need and didn't get a second thought.I have not responded to her text message.Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over? Should I tell her that I am upset, or should I accept that this rude thank you was better than nothing?

文章大意：这是一篇书信文体阅读。作者主要介绍了自己和舍友一起帮助了遭受火灾的一对夫妇，没想到没有收到感谢信，而舍友收到了。作者为此写信向Miss Manners征求意见。

4．For what purpose did Mary write the letter?

A．To start a public donation for the unlucky couple.

B．To teach us how to see the true colors of friendship.

C．To tell us to learn a lesson from her story.

D．To ask for advice on how to deal with her annoyance.

答案：D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段一连串的疑问句和第一句话I was a little annoyed可知Mary 写这封信就是为了寻求关于处理她烦恼的建议。故选D。

5．From the letter we can infer that ________.

A．the couple lost their car in the fire so they had to go everywhere on foot.

B．so far Mary hasn't received a thank­you note addressed to her.

C．Mary's roommate sent the couple a message to blame their carelessness.

D．the couple l eft Mary out by accident when they wrote the thank­you notes.

答案：B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的Many friends, including me, helped with money, meals, lamprey and their dog while they were getting back on their feet排除A；根据文章第四段的第一句话The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me！(Miss Manners, they didn't even address the notes themselves！)排除D；根据文章的第二段My roommate realized I didn't receive a thank­you note, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out排除C；根据文章的倒数第二段可知作者至今还没有收到正式的感谢信，仅仅收到一张表示感谢的picture，由此判断选B。

6．What does Mary think of the couple she helped?

A．careless B．considerate

C．unbelievable D．unreliable

答案：D 推理判断题。careless粗心的；considerate体贴的；unbelievable不可相信的；unreliable 不能依赖的。根据文章的一连串发问，特别是最后一段第二句话I helped them in their fume of need and
