Not too long after we arrived and unpacked, we were invited for “a drink on Sunday morning” by a retired couple nearby. We got there about noon, to find the living-room crowded lots of chat and discussions, and in all a very jolly occasion. Trouble was, there was no food no self-respecting Australian would regard a tray of crisps as food. In Sydney, when you are invited for a drink any time after midday on a Sunday, you know you will be fed as well as watered and you plan accordingly. However, the hardworking little woman seemed to have no plans to cook lunch or take us to eat out. By one-fifteen my stomach was sending up “please explain” to me. Even the crisps had gone. There was nothing we could do except wait, and wonder if the hostess was going to perform some magic and feed us fashionably late. Then, as quickly as word had spread that there was free beer at the local pub, the room emptied. By one-forty-five there were only a few guests left, so we decided to go home. The little woman was not really interested in real cooking for us. A few weeks ago we were invited out for “supper” and the hostess suggested 8:15. Ah, we thought greedily, “this is going to be the real thing.” We dressed with some care I putting on a dark suit and arrived on time. My wife looked pretty good, I thought a little black dress and so on. But when we walked in I had a terrible feeling we had got the night wrong because the hostess was dressed in a daytime kind of way and the husband was in jeans and an open-neck shirt. But no, we were greeted and shown into the sitting-room. After a drink I looked around and saw that this was indeed a superior cottage because it had a (more or less) separate dining-room. But there were no signs of a table-setting. Not again! I thought. Were we meant to eat before we came? I decided that in future my wife and I would always carry a chocolate bar. About 9:28 our hostess went out of the room, saying something about food. Ten minutes later she returned and asked us to follow. We were led out to the kitchen. There on the table were country style plates and a huge bowl of soup, rough bread and all the makings of a simple meal. And that is what it was. In other words we had not read the signals right when we were invited for “supper”. If they want you to come to dinner, they say so, and you know that means dark suits and so on. If they mean supper, they say it, and you get fed in the kitchen. 51. When the author and his wife were invited out for “a drink on Sunday morning”, they thought _. A. they would be given lunch as well B. they would be the only people there C. they would be taken to a restaurant for lunch D. they would be asked to take some food with them 52. The “party” had been going on for about an hour and three quarters when _. A. everyone had crisps for lunch B. the hostess decided to feed her guests C. most of the guests went to lunch at the pub D. the author realized he would go home hungry 53. When invited out for “supper” a few weeks later, the writer _. A. arrived on the wrong evening B. expected to be served a proper dinner C. interpreted the invitation correctly this time D. realized there was no dining-room in the cottage 54. As the evening passed, the writer became aware that _. A. he should, in future, eat only chocolate in the evening B. no one used their dining-rooms in the countryside C. he should have had a meal before going out D. “supper” meant a simple, informal mealB People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painter thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures. About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet. The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic-strip (连环漫画) stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it. By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letter of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and Roman alphabet is now used all over the world. These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawings, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting. 55. Ancient people in France and Spain painted pictures on walls of caves because _. A. they loved animals B. they enjoyed seeing pictures C. they thought pictures helpful D. they preferred painting pictures to telling stories 56. From this passage we know that _. A. Egypt is well-known for their comic-strip stories B. the Roman alphabet was developed from Egyptian alphabet C. the Egyptian signs made a particular alphabet come into being D. people in other parts of the world copied their writing system from the Egyptians 57. In the last paragraph, the author thinks that pictures _. A. should be made comprehensible B. should be made interesting C. are of much use in our life D. are disappearing
