    Dear Mr. Barton,

    I am writing for the residents’ association (业主协会) to inform you of our feelings about your act. We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).

    Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.

    We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.

    Yours sincerely

    A letter to Edward，a columnist

    Dear Mr. Expert,

        I grew up in an unhappy and abusive(虐待) home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I've achieved.

        Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine—so much so that they make mine theirs.

          It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.

        I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)?

                                                                                                                        Joan

    Edward’s reply to Joan

    Dear Joan,

    　　If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.

    　　And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict（冲突）you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.

          Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company（陪伴） but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over. ”

                                                                                                                        Edward

    59. We can learn from the first letter that Joan ___________.

      A. takes pride in her friends                       

    B. lives away from her parents

      C. knows Mr. Expert quite well              

    D. hates her parents very much

    60. We can infer from the first letter that __________.

    　 A. Joan thinks her friends more important than her privacy

       B. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all

       C. Joan’s friends visit her more often than expected

       D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over

    61. In Mr. Expert’s opinion, the reason why Joan can’t tell her friends her feelings is that _________.

    　 A. she is afraid of hurting her friends 

    B. she does not understand true friendship

       C. her family experience stops her from doing so

    D. she does not put her needs first

    62. The second letter suggests that Mr. Expert __________.

    　 A. is concerned about Joan’s problem

    B. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends

       C. encourages Joan to be brave enough

       D. advises Joan on how to refuse people

      The playwright George Bernard Shaw once said humorously, “England and America are two nations divided by a common language. If he were writing today, he might add ‘divided by a common technology--- e-mail’”.

      Two completely different styles of e-mail have formed on either side of the Atlantic-Euromail and Amerimail. Americail is informal and chatty. It’s likely to begin with a “Hi” and end with a “Bye”. The chances of Amerimail containing a smiley face or an “xoxo” are disturbingly high. We Americans are unwilling to dive into the meat of an e-mail. We feel we have to first inform recipients (收信人) about our vacation on the island which was really excellent except the jellyfish were biting and the kids caught a cold, so we had to skip the whale watching trip, but about that investors’ meeting in New York. Amerimail is a bundle of contradictions, casual and yet direct, respectful yet over proud. In other words, Amerimail is America.

      Euromail is stiff and cold often beginning with a formal “Dear Mr. X” and ending with a simple “Sincerely”. You won’t find any mention of kids or the weather or jellyfish in Euromail. It’s all business. It’s also slow. Your correspondent might take days even weeks to answer a message. Euromail is exactly like the Europeans themselves.

      Recently about 100 managers were asked on both sides of the Atlantic whether they noticed differences in e-mail styles. Most said yes. Here are a few of their observations:

      “Americans tend to write (e-mail) exactly as they speak.”

      “Why don’t you just call me instead of writing five e-mails back and forth?”

      “Europeans are less interested in checking e-mail”.

      “In general, Americans are much more responsive to e-mail—they respond faster and provide more information.”

      So which is better, Euromail or Amerimail? I realized it’s not popular these days to suggest we have anything to learn from Europeans, but I’m fed up with an inbox filled with casual, barely meaningful e-mails from friends and colleagues. If the alternative is a few earnestly written, carefully worded bits of Euromail, then I say, “Bring it on.”

    What did George Bernard Shaw mean by saying “England and America are two nations divided by a common language”?

    A. There is not much difference between British English and American English.

    B. Both England and America speak the common language, so they are much the same.

    C. Either England or America is a divided nation, though they share a common language.

    D. There is sharp difference between England and America despite their common language.

    Which of the following is most likely to be the “meat” of an Amerimail?

    A. The jellyfish were biting.

    B. We had an excellent vacation on the island.

    C. We had to skip the whale watching trip.

    D. We were to attend the investors’ meeting in New York.

    On receiving an e-mail, Europeans tend to __________.

    A. respond to it immediately and earnestly

    B. take more time than Americans to respond to it

    C. respond by calling up their correspondent

    D. never respond to it all

    What are characteristics of Amerimail?

    A. Informal and chatty                                          B. Casual and indirect

    C. Stiff and cold                                                       D. Formal and direc60

    We can conclude from the passage that __________.

    A. the different e-mail styles do much harm to the relationship between the two sides on Atlantic

    B. Amerimail is more appreciated by the writer for being informative and casually written

    C. Euromail always impresses the writer as something more pleasant to read

    D. the writer doesn’t favor either e-mail style as both have their own shortcomings
