Now Maries son is taking care of the business, and he makes pies as good as his mothers. I enjoy my stay there as before. My family also like the pies. We feel relaxed while staying there.Olive: I went to Pie Corner once. Their pies were great, too. But I feel more comfortable at Pie House. I am used to the taste there, which makes me feel happy. Im really a fan of Pie House.Ned: Uncle Roy used to work for my mom. Later he opened Pie Corner on the next block after he got married. At the beginning, its not easy for him, but it is becoming more and more popular especially among young people. They think Pie Corner can often give them a surprise. Marie: Roy was already quite avant-garde when working with me. I mean he had different, sometimes even strange, ideas about pies. There were times I thought his pies wouldnt taste good, but they turned out magically delicious. He is really creative and can always make new pies, which attract many people.Lee: Ned has done quite well with Pie House. His pies make you feel warm. But if you want to try something interesting, you should go to Pie Corner.Chuck: The two pie shops are really different from each other. If eating Roys pies is like taking an exciting trip, then Neds pies are just like a sweet home you go back to after a long trip. Which one to go to depends on what you like.31. What do we know about the six people?A. They all have been to both pie shops.B. They all talked about what the pies taste like.C. Some of them are the shopkeepers of the pie shops.D. Some of them talked about how the shopkeepers treated their workers.32. Which is true about the pie shops? A. Pie House is a family business.B. Pie Corner is next to Pie House.C. Pie Corner has a longer history than Pie House. D. Pie House gives people a place to stay for the night.33. What does avant-garde mean in the reading?A. Having a new and surprising way of thinking.B. Trying to find out where the problems come from.C. Trying to act like someone who knows everything. D. Having many exciting life experiences.BPeople enjoy taking trips. But what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to learn more about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical places and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine? He gets a vivid picture, a real life of one of the French people. He learns about their attitudes（态度）, how they feel about business, beauty and history.What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway. But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrasts(对比，对照): the straight vertical lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in.34. Why do people leave home to travel according to the passage?A. For education. B. For adventure.C. To enjoy themselves. D. To look for a different lifestyle.35. What do we learn from the passage about Paris?A. It has a large population. B. It has many towering buildings.C. There are 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway.D. There are many museums and palaces.36. What impression will a tourist get of Hong Kong?A. It has many big and beautiful parks.B. It is a city of contrasts.C. It possesses many historical sites.D. It is an important industrial center.37. What does the passage tell us about traveling?A. It makes our life more interesting.B. It enables us to get first-hand knowledge.C. It helps develop our personalities.D. It brings about changes in our lifestyle.CSome people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, theyll help you put people at their ease（容易，悠闲）, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going. From there you can move on to other matters-sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go. Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion（机会，时刻）of parting. If youre saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, Ive really enjoyed meeting you. If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyve known you half their life.38. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _. A. for you to make more and more new friends B. to begin your business talksC. to get the conversation going smoothly D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others 39. After having asked somebody a question, itll be polite of you to _.A. make clear what kind of person he is B. listen to his reply attentivelyC. wait quietly and patiently for his answer D. go on asking him more questions40. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _.A. are good at making any topic interesting B. never talk too much or too littleC. always speak in a gentle way D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk41. If you really want to meet someone again, _.A. you may take him as your lifelong true friendB. it seems necessary for you to let him know itC. its proper for you to give him a second handshakeD. itll be helpful for you to have further understanding of himDHere is your best chance to travel around the UK in 2014: More than 200 B&Bs（bed & breakfast）across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are selected to offer you amazing services for your stay at their lowest prices!
