A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. "Last week," s

aid he, "my umbrella was stolen from a London Church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back."

"How did you write your advertisement？" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.

"Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street."

"Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one." The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known." This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

What is an advertisement？

A．A news item.

B．A public announcement in the press, on TV, etc.

C．One way to voice one's view.

D．Public opinions.

根据内容回答下列各题.

Not long ago, there lived in Auckland a working family who dreamed about a house of their own. Anyone then could read in the newspapers about the building companies who offered to put people into a new house 51 only a $1,000 deposit. Of course, the remainder had to be paid off with interest over a period of twenty years or so.

The worker and his wife hopefully went to one of these companies 52 this wonderful offer. And the man in the office said．“Yes, sure. You bring along $1,000 and we can 53 you with a new house.” So the worker and his wife had to work hard and in twelve months’ time they returned to the building man with $1,000. But the man in the office said, “Look, I’m sorry, 54 we’ll need $1,500 now. Costs have gone up since we saw you last, you know.”

The couple thought it over and decided it would not take very long to save the extra $500 if they worked hard. In six moths they worked 55 overtime and saved the $500 in spite of the high rent they had to pay for their flat. Back to the building man they 56 with their $1,500. But to their surprise he 57 the deposit was now $3,000. Now somewhat wiser, the worker said, “And the next time, I dare say we’ll find the deposit rising once more. How have we 58 save the extra $1,500？” “Well”, said the man, “I think we can stabilize the situation for about twelve months. By the time you come with $3,000, we will have had the house 59 for you.

The couple left, sad at heart as they saw their dream house 60 . By the time they had saved the extra $1.500, no doubt the deposit would have become still higher, maybe $5,000, then $10,000 and then…!

"We're more than halfway (中途) now; it's only two miles farther to the tavern (客栈) ," said the driver.

"I'm glad of that," answered the stranger, in a more sympathetic way. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man's throat if he tried to speak. The girl's voice was quite attractive; however, later he spoke again.

"You don't feel the cold so much at twenty below zero in the Western country. There isn't such damp chill (潮冷)", he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a bad day, and he began to be conscious of a warm hopefulness of spirit, and sense of pleasant adventure under all the woolen scarves.

"You'll have a cold drive going back," he said anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible.

"I shall not have to go back!" cried the girl, with eager pleasantness. "I'm on my way home now. I drove over early just to meet you at the train. We had word that someone was coming to the tavern."

How far was the drive from the train to the tavern？

A．One mile.

B．About four miles.

C．Two miles.

D．Less than four miles.

完成下列各题 C There was a river with a small town on either

side of it．The towns were linked by a bridge．One day，a hole appeared in the bridge．Both towns agreed that the hole should be mended．However，disagreement came up as to who should mend it．Each town thought that it had a better reason for the other to mend the hole．The town on the right bank said that it was at the end of the road，so the left—bank town should mend the hole．The town on the left bank，on the other hand，insisted that all the traffic came to the right—bank town，so it was in their interest to mend the bridge． The quarrel went on and on，and so did the hole．The more it went on，the more the hostility between the two towns grew． One day a man fell into the hole and broke his leg．People from both towns questioned him closely about whether he was walking from the right bank to the left or from the left bank to the right，in order to decide which town should be blamed for the accident．But he could not remember，since he got drunk that night． Some time later，a car was crossing the bridge and broke an axle(轴)because of the hole．Neither town paid any attention to the accident，as the traveler was not going from one to the other．but was merely passing through．The angry traveler got out of the car and asked why the hole was not mended． On hearing the reason，he declared，“I'll buy this hole．Who’s the owner？” Both towns at once declared that they owned the hole． “One or the other，whoever owns the hole must prove it．” “How shall we prove it？”asked both sides． “That’s simple．Only the owner of the hole has the right to mend it．I'll buy the hole from whoever mends the bridge” People from both tow ns rushed to do the job while the traveler smoked a cigar and his driver changed the axle．They mended the bridge in no time and asked for the money for the hole． “What hole？”The traveler looked surprised．“I can’t see any hole．I've been looking for a hole for several years now．I'm prepared to pay a good price for it，but there’s no hole here．Are you pulling my leg or what？” He got into his car and drove off． What did the two towns quarrel about？________．

A.Whether the hole should be mended

B.Which of them should mend the hole

C.Why there was a hole in the bridge

D.When they should mend the hole
