  本篇大意是:鸡场主怀特发现夏天鸡下蛋少,决定在鸡舍装置空调,卖空调的老板到怀特处,见其家尚未安装空调,便想扩展生意,不单给鸡舍装上空调,还建议给怀特的妻子屋安一台空调,但怀特没有同意,他的理由是,给鸡舍装上空调,鸡能多下蛋,给他老婆安上空调,并不能产生经济效益.

  文章反映了农场、牧场、家禽饲养场现代化的进展,反映了在市场经济背景下,人们所具有的强烈经济意识,十分幽默而富有趣味.双方都有自己的生意经,各自有自己的小算盘,都是以多捞钱为目的,这是现代社会中商人心理的实际写照.

  Mr White was a chicken farmer. He had hundreds of chickens, and sold the eggs and the meat and got quite a lot of money for them, but he lived in a very hot part of the country, and he found that his hens could hardly lay(空调) any eggs in the summer. So he decided to put air-conditioning(空调) into his chicken-house so that the hens would lay well all through the year and he could get more eggs and in that way get more money.

  本篇大意是:木匠约翰给主人公的妻子做了一个小饭桌,结账时的账单上把成本费17.00、油漆料钱1.50、工价8.00和日期10一起相加,多计价10元,结果被主人发现了,但他并没有直接批评多要钱的木匠,只是诙谐地说:“月底30日做比月初10日做,还要贵些,是不是?”而且只付了木匠应得到的26.50元钱.很明显,本篇比上篇更难些,因上篇中主人公怀特和厂家双方处理的问题是直接的,直言不讳,而本篇中的主人公却是明人做暗事,肚内藏机关,木匠虽然诡谲,主人却更机灵,一眼看穿了木匠的把戏,但他处理问题颇有技巧,既解决问题,不多花钱,又不搞得很僵,双方不快,体现了现代生意场中的交往策略和洽谈风格.我国正在建设社会主义市场经济,这是法制化、规范化的市场经济,反对不正当的竞争.此文有一定的现实意义,文中的内容联系着当代的社会生活,通过英语试卷,同样可以检验学生:的审视能力.

  Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(账单) for the job.

  My wife said to me, quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, in a loud voice, “It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?”

  “I'll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said.

  John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

  One dining table
10 November 1989
  Cost((成本;费用)) of wood
£17.00(£是pound的符号)
  Paint(油漆)
1.50
  Work, 8 hours (£1 an hour)
8.00
  Tota1(合计)
36.50

  When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny.”

  “Yes,” I said. “I'm glad it's only the 10th of November.”

  “Me, too,” said John. “You wait-it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”

  “Yes. Colder-and more expensive! Dining tables will be £20 more expensive on November 30th, won't they, John?”

  John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.

  “If it isn't too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up again. You can forget the date.”

  I paid him £26.50 and he was happy to get it.

1.Why did John talk about the weather when the writer was looking at the bill?

A Because he didn't want the writer to go through the bill carefully.

B.Because it was really a fine day.

C.Because he wanted the writer to check the bill carefully.

D.Because he wanted to tell the writer what the weather was like.

2.Why did the writer say that dining tables would be £ 20 more expensive on November 30th?

[  ]

A.Because it was difficult to make dining tables in cold weather.

B.Because paint would be more expensive.

C.Because the cost of wood would be more expensive.

D.Because he thought John would almost certainly add the date to the cost of the dining table.

3.The writer thought John would ask for ________ if he made a dining table on the last day of November.

[  ]

A.£20.00
B.£46.50
C.£56.50
D.£26.50

4.When the writer gave him the money, John was happy because ________.

[  ]

A.he got what he should get for his work

B.he got much more money for his work

C.he got the money easily

D.he didn't have to add up the costs again

5.From the story we know that ________.

阅读下面的文字,完成小题
去秋人还,蒙赐书及所撰先大父墓碑铭,反复观诵,感与惭并。
夫铭志之著于世,义近于史,而亦有与史异者。盖史之于善恶无所不书;而铭者,盖古之人有功德、材行、志义之美者,惧后世之不知,则必铭而见之。或纳于庙,或存于墓,一也。苟其人之恶,则与铭乎何有?此其所以与史异也。其辞之作,所以使死者无有所憾,生者得致其严。而善人喜于见传,则勇于自立;恶人无有所记,则以愧而惧。至于通材达识,义烈节士,嘉言善状,皆见于篇,则足为后法。警劝之道,非近乎史,其将安近?
及世之衰,人之子孙者,一欲褒扬其亲而不本乎理。故虽恶人,皆务勒铭以夸后世。立言者既莫之拒而不为,又以其子孙之所请也,书其恶焉,则人情之所不得,于是乎铭始不实。后之作铭者,当观其人。苟托之非人,则书之非公与是,则不足以行世而传后。故千百年来,公卿大夫至于里巷之士,莫不有铭,而传者盖少。其故非他,托之非人,书之非公与是故也。
然则孰为其人,而能尽公与是欤?非畜道德而能文章者,无以为也。盖有道德者之于恶人,则不受而铭之,于众人则能辨焉。而人之行,有情善而迹非,有意奸而外淑,有善恶相悬而不可以实指,有实大于名,有名侈于实。犹之用人,非畜道德者恶作辨之不惑,议之不徇?不惑不徇,则公且是矣。而其辞之不工,则世犹不传。于是又在其文章兼胜焉。故曰:非畜道德而能文章者,无以为也。岂非然哉?
然畜道德而能文章者,虽或并世而有,亦或数十年、或一二百年而有之。其传之难又如此,其遇之难又如此。若先生之道德文章,固所谓数百年而有者也。先祖之言行卓卓幸遇而得铭其公与是其传世行后无疑也而世之学者每观传记所书古人之事至其所可感则往往衋然不知涕之流落也,况其子孙也哉?况巩也哉!其追晞祖德,而思所以传之之由,则知先生推一赐于巩而及其三世。其感与报,宜若何而图之?抑又思若巩之浅薄滞拙,而先生进之;先祖之屯蹶否塞以死,而先生显之,则世之魁闳豪杰不世出之士,其谁不愿进于门?潜遁幽抑之士,其谁不有望于世?
既拜赐之辱,且敢进其所以然。所谕世族之次,敢不承教而加详焉。愧甚不宣。巩再拜。
----选自曾巩《寄欧阳舍人(欧阳修)书》
