       I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us on those unpleasant days．I'm saying this because I think I have just found mine．

       I bought her last magazine for twice what I had originally   48 ．She thanked me and _49 her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement—still singing．

Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent. It was a tall young man, smoking.

He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curled points, though he could not be more than twenty, three or four. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.

"Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?" said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss: "Never mind me. I am Mr. d'Urberville. Have you come to see me or my mother?"

This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered, "I came to see your mother, sir."

"I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed," replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr.Alee, the only son of the noble family."What is the business you wish to see her about?"

"It isn't business—it is— I can hardly say what!"

"Pleasure?"

"Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem—"

Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved(弯曲) towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.

"It is so foolish," she stammered(急急巴巴地说); "I fear I can't tell you!"

"Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear," said he kindly.

"Mother asked me to come," Tess continued; 'and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this.I came, sir,to tell you that we are of the same family as you."

"Ho! Poor relations?"

"Yes."

'Stokes?'

"No; d'Urbervilles."

"Ay, ay; I mean d'Urbervilles."

"Our names are wom away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d'Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are,and we have an old seal(印章) and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we've lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living."

"Very kind of your mother, I'm sure.' Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. 'And so, my pretty girl, you've come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?"

"I suppose I have," looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

"Well-there's no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?"

                                  —Tess of the d'Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy

61. How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec?

      A. Excited and hopeful.          B. Nervous and uncomfortable.

      C. Surprised but comfortable.           D. Pleased but embarrassed.

      C. a gentle and reliable man      D. older than she had expected

63. Why does Tess pay the visit to the d'Urbervilles?  

      A. To see Alec himself.

      B. To see Alec's mother.

      C. To confirm that they are of the same family.

New York Times---( DINITIA SMITH )Tomorrow is the 433d anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth. A recent survey shows that more people are watching him, reading him and studying him than ever before.

Consider the recent yearly conference of the Shakespeare Association of America in Washington, where more than 600 people who study or admire Shakespeare from 18 countries took in topics like ‘‘Whither Attribution Studies,’’ ‘‘Unpopular Shakespeare’’ and ‘‘Sex Me Here,’’ a talk on breast-feeding and Lady Macbeth.

‘‘The national media is saying that fewer students’ taking Shakespeare,’’ Barbara Mowat, the editor of The Shakespeare Quarterly, observed in a speech at the conference. ‘‘But Shakespeare is thriving.’’ The association’s membership has increased by a third since 1990.

The Shakespeare business is so good these days that W. W. Norton is introducing a huge new collections of the plays into the already crowded field just in time for tomorrow’s birthday anniversary. Priced at $44.95, ‘‘The Norton Shakespeare: Based on the Oxford Edition’’ runs for 3,420 pages, offering introductions, illustrations and notes and three versions(版本) of ‘‘King Lear.’’

Today, movies and videos have made the plays even more accessible. Last year, ‘‘William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet’’ was No. 1 at the box office when it opened, and it grossed nearly $50 million. In New York in January, crowds lined up in the freezing cold to see Kenneth Branagh’s four-hour ‘‘Hamlet.’’ The students select a scene and then have a violent discussion about it.’’ Influenced by films, professors are increasingly teaching students by having them perform the plays.

Why people from 18 countries came to Washington this year?

A. To celebrate Shakespeare’s 433d birth day only.

B. To watch some plays by Shakespeare as planned.

C. To celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday and study his works.

D. To discuss how to teach students using Shakespeare’s plays.

What does the underlined word “ field” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. Washington D.C.                              B. Shakespeare Association.

C. The birthday anniversary.                  D. The Shakespeare business.

Which of the many plays by Shakespeare was most popular the year before?

A. King Lear.                                            B. Hamlet.

C. Macbeth.                                              D. Romeo and Juliet.

What does the author want to prove by using so many examples about Shakespeare?

A. More and more people are becoming interested in Shakespeare.

B. Shakespeare business is being run well in America nowadays.

C. Plays by Shakespeare can be used at school for more studies.

D. Shakespeare belongs not only to Britain but also to the USA.
