I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I lefthome one morning carrying t
10、he chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. Iwas quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth- so Idecided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop wit
11、h a plan in my mind. I placed thechair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, Would you like to buy a chair? Twenty pounds, Isaid. OK, he said. Ill give you twenty pounds. Its got a slightly broken leg, I said. Yes, I saw that.Its nothing.Everything was going according to the plan and I was gettin
12、g excited. What will you do with it? I asked. Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. Ill buy it, I said. What do you mean?Youve just sold it to me, he said. Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. I am sorry. Ill give youtwenty-seven pounds for it. You must be crazy, he said. Then, sudden
13、ly the penny dropped. I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. Youre right, I said. And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, Would you mend this chair for me? I wouldnt have agreed to do it, he said. We dont do repairs, not enoughmoney in it and too much trouble. But
14、Ill mend this for you. Shall we say for a fiver? He was a verynice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.16. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_.A. was rather impolite B. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D. asked the shopkeeper to repair h
15、is chair17. The expression the penny dropped in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_.A. changed his mind B. accepted the offerC. saw the writers purpose D. decided to help the writer18.

16、ear, many children are really happy to forget about school for a few months. However, they might be taking that goal too seriously. Studies have found that children often forget between one and three months worth of school learning during the summer months. Spelling and math abilities drop off the m
17、ost, while reading is not really influenced (受影响) by the time off. The main reason for this is because most children sometimes read outside of the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting.T
18、he first purpose of summer holidays was to let farm children have time off to help work in the fields during the growing season, but this reason is no longer a good one since fewer kids actually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, have moved to a year-round sc
19、hool timetable, which may help reduce the loss of school skills that happens during the long summer holiday. To improve skills and to keep a good level of preparation, headmasters suggest trips to museums, summer camps, holidays with educational value, and visits to libraries to keep kids interested
20、 throughout the summer.There are other educational systems that provide holidays while still keeping students skills up to date. For example, in Japan, students attend class for seven weeks in a row, followed by two weeks of holiday. This continues the whole year. In Italy, students attend class six
21、 days per week, but finish at 1: 30 pm each day, so that school does not run their life the way that it does in America, where students attend high school from 7: 45 am until 3: 00 pm each weekday. In areas where there are not enough classroomsin Afghanistan or Somalia, for exampleolder students att
22、end classes in the morning while the younger kids go to school in the afternoon.Headmasters fear that the three-month summer holiday stops the flow of learning. Just as students become used to new math problems or new ideas in reading, writing, or thinking skills, they “shut down” during the summer
23、holiday. When they go back to school after the long summer holiday, they take up to two months to return to their previous (先前的) level of skill. So the debate continues: whether to continue holidays or to make changes based on the Los Angeles or the Japanese models.19. Which skills suffer the most o
24、ver the summer holidays?A. Math and reading. B. Math and spelling.C. Reading and writing. D. Reading and thinking.20. What can we learn about the first purpose of summer holidays?A. It is still widely acceptable now. B. It was popular in some cities.C. It is not a good reason for city kids. D. It wa
25、s more for teachers than for students.21. The underlined phrase “shut down” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. stop learning B. get sickC. go on reading D. focus on studies22. What can we infer from the passage?A. Parents always read to their kids to keep reading skills.B. Summer holidays lea
26、d to the loss of all the school skills.C. Students love holidays and get their mind off learning in holidays.D. In Italy students attend classes in the late afternoon six days a week. CAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are ra
27、pidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000 - 7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars (学者) from a number of or
28、ganizations UNESCO and National Geographic among them have for many years been documenting (记载) dying languages and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in (专门研究) the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following i
29、n that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi （唐米语）with an Ethno linguistic（语言学的） Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal（尼泊尔）. Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a
30、 starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content (满足) to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth
31、 of important materials including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection. Now, through the two organizations that he has founded the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project Turin has start
32、ed a campaign (活动) to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communi
