This was what my mother had told me. I did not know these nice differences myself. My mother like to say them and see other dogs look surprised and jealous(嫉妒的), wondering how she got so much education. But, indeed, it was not real education.She got the words by listening in the dining room and the sitting room when there were people talking, and by going with the children to school and listening there. Whenever she heard a word showing great knowledge, she said it to herself many times so that she could keep it until there was a meeting in the neighbourhood. Then, she would show off her knowledge and surprise them all, from small-sized dogs to large-sized dogs.If there was a stranger being doubtful and getting his breath to ask her what it meant, she always explained to him in detail. He had never expected this but thought he would make fool of her. However, in the end, he was the one who was fooled. The others knew what was going to happen, because they had experienced that. When she explained the meaning of a big world, no dogs doubted if it was right. It was natural, because, for one thing, she answered very quickly and confidently, and for another, there were no knowledgeable dogs pointing out the answer was wrong.When I was older, she brought home the word, “unintellectual”, and worked on it very hard all the week at different meetings. It was at this time that I realized she made up a fresh meaning of the same word every time. It showed that she was more calm than knowledgeable.(From A Dogs Tale, by Mark Twain)51. Why were other dogs jealous of “my” mother?A. Because her child was not a dog.B. Because “my” mother knew everything.C. Because they knew nothing about “me”.D. Because they thought “my” mother was educated.52. Where did “my” mother learn the words?A. She made up the words by herself.B. She learnt the words studying at school.C. She listened and memorized when others were talking.D. She attended meetings to learn the words from other dogs.53. How could “my” mother always fool other dogs?A. Other dogs all liked to be fooled.B. She could explain anything in detail correctly.C. She learnt a lot of tricks to make fool of others.D. Other dogs were not knowledgeable enough to find out her mistakes.54. What words can be used to describe “my” mother?A. friendly and cleverB. calm and confidentC. quick and experiencedD. devoted and knowledgeableBNelson Mandela was a figure of international fame, and many details of his life and career were public knowledge. But here are four things you may not have known about the late South African leader.1. He was a boxing fan.In his youth, Nelson Mandela enjoyed boxing and long-distance running. Even during the 27 years he spent in prison, he would exercise every morning. I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it. I was curious by how one moved ones body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat, how one paced oneself over a match, he wrote in his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom.2. His original name was not Nelson.Rolihlahla Mandela was nine years old when a teacher at the primary Methodist school where he was studying in Qunu, South Africa, gave him an English name “Nelson” in accordance with the custom to give all school children Christian names. 3. He forgot his glasses when he was released from prison.Mr. Mandelas release on 11 February 1990 followed years of political pressure against apartheid(种族隔离). Mr. Mandelas reading glasses stayed behind in prison Mr. Mandela and his then-wife Winnie were taken to the centre of Cape Town to address a huge and exciting crowd. But when he pulled out the text of his speech, he realized he had forgotten his glasses and had to borrow Winnies.4. He had his own law firm, but it took him years to get a law degree.Mr. Mandela studied law on and off for 50 years from 1939, failing about half the courses he took. A two-year diploma(学位证书) in law on top of his university degree allowed him to practice, and in August 1952, he and Oliver Tambo set up South Africas first black law firm, Mandela and Tambo, in Johannesburg. He kept on studying hard to finally secure a law degree while in prison in 1989.55. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Nelson Mandelas life in the prison.B. The achievements of Nelson Mandela.C. Nelson Mandelas hobbies and career. D. Unknown things about Nelson Mandela.56. Why did Nelson Mandela love boxing?A. Because he wanted to be a boxer. B. Because he enjoyed the violence of boxing.C.

He broke his glasses into pieces.B. He had to use his wifes glasses.C. He left his own glasses at home.D. His wife wanted to borrow his glasses.58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Nelson Mandela was not his original name.B. Nelson Mandela was the name given by his teacher.C.

The hotel laundry(洗衣房) ruined your favorite shirt. The taxi driver overcharged you. When youre abroad, sometimes things go wrong. Now you can do something about it! Use these tips when you want to express an effective complaint in English.No matter how unfair the situation, its best to phrase your complaint politely. In English, youll sound more polite if you use indirect language. Here are some examples:“Im sorry to bother you.” Starting a complaint like this puts the listener who may have heard many complaints that day at ease. Use this phrase if the situation isnt that serious. For example, Im sorry to bother you, but I wanted a baked potato, not fries.“Can you help me with this?” Everyone would much rather be asked to do something than told! So try phrasing your complaint as a request for help: Can you help me with this? My shirt came back from the laundry without buttons.“Im afraid there may be a misunderstanding.” This is a polite way of saying, Your information is wrong. Please fix it now. Youll most likely use this phrase if you made reservations(预定) for a flight, hotel or restaurant, and when you arrive, its not what you expected. For example, Im afraid there may be a misunderstanding. I requested a non-smoking room.“I understand its not your fault.” Often when you make a complaint, you deal with a person who was not directly responsible for the problem. But the problem isnt your fault, either! This phrase is helpful when you need swift action. Tell the person youre dealing with you understand theyre not at fault and then directly state the problem: I understand its not your fault, but the airline promised they would deliver my baggage yesterday.“Excuse me, but I understood that.” Using this phrase lets the person know youre well-informed and are suspici
