I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.‎ Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles shaking my set.‎ When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.‎ ‎21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?‎ A. He got an older model than he had expected.‎ B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.‎ C.

Humorous B Dear Sir,‎ Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare.Your company, Cosmo Books  Ltd , offered this set （ eight books of plays and two books of poetry） at what was claimed to be a “remarkable”price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing． I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, and these books looked in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive, so I sent for them． Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered．So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare．Two more weeks passed．Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six-book set of the plays of Moliere, in French．Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all．I wrote to you at the end of August of last year. You did not reply to that letter. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.‎ I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now on until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.‎ Please send no more books, send no more bills, and send no more angry letters demanding payment．Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid． Yours faithfully,‎ Simon Walker ‎25.The advertisement that Mr. Walker saw in the Morning Mail was for          .‎ A.fifteen pounds and fifty pence B.unlimited number of Cosmo Books C.a set of 10 books of the works of Shakespeare D.a book containing all the plays and poems of Shakespeare ‎26.Another two weeks passed, and them there arrived .‎ A.there sets of books and a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence B.a third set of Shakespeare, a second of Dickens and a set of Moliere C.three sets of books including one in French D.the same set of Shakespeare, the novels of Moliere and a set of Dickens ‎27.Simon Walker wrote this letter to .‎ A.show his anger to Cosmo Books Ltd B.complain about getting books he didn’t want C.advise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd D.ask for the final solution to the problem with the unwanted books C Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life．He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think．One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week．From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life．‎ He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture．You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends．But you’ll know him only when you ask him to lend you some money．If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before．Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．‎ Since money is important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important．The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book．‎ Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect．I’m nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．‎ People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for?

Which of the following might the author disagree?‎ A．Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness． ‎ B．Money is important in modern society．‎ C．Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth．‎ D．The meaning of life doesn’t completely lie in money．‎ ‎ D If feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War? She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.‎ ‎“Why can’t you be like my coworker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son ‎ received a four year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed coworker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.‎ I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm.
