10. I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one'''' s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.
Nowadays a superficial traveller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction (收缩) of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable.
Our local grocer''''s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing (排队) up at a supermarket. And the proprietor (店主) knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value.
His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner (领养老金 ) who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.
The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. The writer implies that one disadvantage of town shops is that __.
A. their prices are higher
B. people cannot telephone them
C. their staff may make less trouble to satisfy customers
D. one has 10 queue up to pay in them
11. A man walked into a restaurant that advertised having the longest menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able to provide any dish, no matter how unusual.
At the bottom of the menu, there was a notice that said, “If you do not see the dish you require on this menu, please tell us and we will add it to the menu immediately.”
The man looked at the menu and decided to make life really difficult for the manager and his chef. He would order something that was very unusual.
When the waiter came up to take his order, he said, “You say you can serve any dish, anything at all, even if it''''s not on your menu, which is the longest menu in the world.”
“That is correct, sir. We have never yet been unable to meet our customers'''' requirements.”
“Very well,” the man said. “In that case, bring me two elephant ears on toast. Indian, not African.”
The waiter wrote down on his pad:Two Indian elephant ears on toast.
“Very good, sir”, he said. “That shouldn''''t take long. ”
He walked away quickly.
The man was very surprised and rather disappointed.
Then he smiled as the waiter returned with a very unhappy look on his face.
“Ah! ”the man said. “You can’t bring me elephant ears on toast, can you? ”
The waiter was very apologetic.
“I’m very sorry, sir, and this is most embarrassing, ” he said, “but I’m afraid we can’t. Unfortunately, we’ve run out of bread. ” the waiter was unhappy because _____ .

Choking (窒息) on things is the fourth leading cause of death in young children. Children will put anything in their mouths—small parts of a toy, jewelry, tacks, and coins. The way to protect them is to keep small items out of their reach.

There are other safety warnings you should keep in mind. Do not let your child run with anything in his or her mouth. Do not let your child lie down while eating. Never leave your baby alone with an uncovered bottle.Being aware of what your child puts in his or her mouth may save his or her life.(1). What kind of foods can especially cause children to choke?

Think of what things would be like without cars. Our lives would be the same. We would have to use bikes, horses, or our feet to get to places. And we couldn''t go as far as we are used to going. But we do have cars. With cars, people can come and go as they please. They can work far from home. Many people live in the country. But they work in the city. Most of them get there in cars. This means that there are a lot of cars on the road.
Are there too many cars on the road? Some people think so. So they are asking that we take trains and buses. But not everyone can do this. Some people must take their cars. This is because no trains or buses go where they have to go. Maybe other people could go to work with them. Then there wouldn''t be so many cars on the road.
What will our lives be like in times to come? Maybe we won''t need cars so much. Maybe more of us will work at home. Maybe trains and buses will go to more places. Then more people will be in them. This will mean more room on our streets and roads.It would be nice if people walk more. They might like to step along a street or road. They would not get far very fast. But they would have the time to look around them. Who knows? They might even feel better, too!(1). What's not the possible reason why there are a lot of cars on the road?
A.
Because everyone likes to drive his own car to do whatever he likes.

Because the number of trains and buses is small.

Because many people who live in the country go to work in cars in the city.

4. Long ago there was a little boy who wanted to be a soldier more than anything else in the world. His brothers and sisters played other games while he was playing soldier. Later he went to a military (军事的) school and studied very hard. When he was less than eighteen, he became a soldier. But the small man wanted power (t权力). He wanted to tell people and nations and the whole world what to do. He kept on working and studying until he became a general in the French Army. His name was Napoleon Bonaparte, and he finally became emperor of France. He was famous as an emperor and for a while he won all the wars and became a national hero. But he was not a kind man. He could be charming (迷人的) when he wanted to be. But he was also rude and very cruel, and many people died so that he could win his wars. Napoleon did one thing that was very important to the United States. He sold a huge piece of land in North America to the Untied States and got a lot of money and he could go on fighting a war with England. And Napoleon rose to great power.

Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That''s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host (主持人) is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express hope and show his ignorance (无知}. Then the host has to answer and explain——how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.
It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don''t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.I think that it''s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller doesn''t know what is going on, the operator should not let the callers take part in it.(1).

it is a fact

it is a good idea

One afternoon in April a year ago, I first saw the strange and appealing doll in the window of a toyshop. The shop was just around the corner from my office. I still remember how it was that day: the first sign of spring mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood.As I turned the corner on my way to office, I once more looked at the poor collection of toys in the dusty window. And then I remembered the coming birthday of my small niece in Cleveland. For years I was in the habit of sending gifts to her. Therefore I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything appropriate. I looked at the collection of unappealing objects–a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed stationery (文具), and garish (俗气的) advertisements for soft-drink. And when I was about to leave because of disappointment, my eyes eventually came to the doll in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows, but I knew that a great impression had been made upon me.(1). What made an impression on the author?
