第十一天 一、美文晨讀 A way to be with customers In the summer vacation of 1997, I was fixed with a job. I worked as an assistant at Mr. Breen’s fruit shop. The fruit shop did good business. Most of the trade came from the housewives who lived in the neighbourhood, but he also had regular customers who arrived outside the shop in cars. Mr. Breen knew them all by name and they sometimes even had their order already made up, always getting me to carry it out to their car. They were clearly long-standing customers, and I suppose they must have stayed faithful to him because he had promised to sell good quality fruit. He had a way with them—I had to admit that. He called every woman “madam” for a start, even those who clearly were not, but when he said it, it did not sound like flattery. It just sounded polite in an old-fashioned way. He was a great chatter as well. If he did not know them, he would greet them with a few words about the weather, but if he did, he would ask about their families or make jokes, always cutting his cloth according to his customers. Whatever their bills came to, he always gave them back the few odd pence, and I am sure they thought he was very generous. But I thought he was the opposite. He never threw anything away. He was always looking for something for nothing. 二、詞匯訓(xùn)練 1. His________（收入）allows of no extravagance in his way of living. 2. Such________（隨意的）dress would not be correct for a formal occasion. 3.

It got its name from the wooden wall that was used to stand what the street now runs. The wall was built in 1600s. New York was then a Dutch city set up by people come from Holland in Europe. It was called New Amsterdam. The America Indians were not always friend of the Dutch, nor were the English. But the Dutch built the wooden wall to protect their town. The wall has gone now. But Wall Street reminds the people to New York of the Dutch who settle there. 四、閱讀理解 A One evening Mr. Green was driving in his car along a lonely country road. He had been to London where he had drawn ￡50,000 from the bank, and he was now returning home with the money which he had put in his pocket book. At the loneliest part of the road a man in shabby, badly-fitting clothes stopped him and asked for a lift. Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued on his way. As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days ago. Mr. Green was very worried at the thought of the ￡50,000 that he had put in his pocket book. Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour. He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had seen him and had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Green’s car. Mr. Green had hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but the man had taken a gun out of his pocket and had put it to Mr. Green’s back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil and said he wanted Mr. Green’s name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station but the policeman said, “No, I want your name and address now. You will have to appear at the police court later.” So, Mr. Green gave the policeman his name and address. The policeman wrote it down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on. He had given up all hope of his ￡50,000, but just as he reached the outskirts of London, the passenger said he wanted to get out here. Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, “Thanks for the lift. You’ve been good to me. This is the least I can do in return.” And he handed Mr. Green the policeman’s notebook. While the policeman had talked to Mr. Green, the thief had stolen the notebook. 1. What was Mr. Green worried about when he learned the man was an escaped robber? A. The ￡50,000 in his pocket book.

We celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story. Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented（以年輕人為中心的）American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”. Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination（歧視）. Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born, and middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers. 5. People feel happy when they celebrate their birthdays because_______. A. they can eat cakes B. they can become more mature and wiser C. they can receive many presents D. they will feel younger at heart 6. Why growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in America? Because______. A. young people lack experience and wisdom B. American older people often joke about their old age C. American culture is very young-oriented D. different countries have different opinions on the old age 7. The underlined sentence（in Paragraph 3）means“_________”. A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care B. the old people in America lead a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing after they retire C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65 D. the old can get whatever they like except gold 8. The underlined part in the last sentence of this passage refers to________. A. the old B. the young C. middle-aged people D. children 五、書面表達 某報社在中學(xué)生中開展了對當今廣告的大討論，請根據(jù)以下的提示，談?wù)勀銓Ξ斀駨V告的認識以及對做好廣告所采取的措施。 （1）廣告業(yè)是社會發(fā)展的產(chǎn)物，進入21世紀，在廣播、電視、報刊雜志上，廣告形式多樣，豐富多彩。 （2）許多好的廣告在提高廠家產(chǎn)品的銷售、降低產(chǎn)品的價格、指導(dǎo)人們消費和提高生活質(zhì)量上都起著積極的作用。 （3）有些廣告粗制濫造，言過其實，欺騙消費者，甚至對青少年的身心健康產(chǎn)生不良影響。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ 第十一天 二、詞匯訓(xùn)練 1. income 2. casual 3. charge 4. data 5. error 6. quarrelling 7. offer 8. summary 9. guidance 10. receipt 三．改錯 1. famous前加 a 2.刪used 前was 3.what 改為where 4.1600s前加the 5.come改為coming 6.America改為American 7.friend 后加s 8.But 改為So 9.has 改為 is 10.people 后to 改為 of 四、閱讀理解 1-4 AADB 5-8 BCBA 五、書面表達 Advertising is the result of the development of society. Since the beginning of the 21st century, we have found more and more advertisements either broadcast on the radios, shown on TV or written in newspapers and magazines. They appear in colorful design and in various forms. Theres no doubt that many good advertisements play an active role in this modern world. They help to promote sales, reduce the cost of products, offer guidance for proper money-spending and even help to improve the quality of our life. But at the same time, we have to admit that some advertisements are poorly made. The made-up information gets the consumers cheated. Whats worse, some unhealthy advertisement texts have a bad effect on the mind of the young generation. In my opinion, to make sure a good advertisement is made, we should found a special organization to watch out for advertisement-making. We can do even further to have an advertisement law passed.
