39、or a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo Books Ltd, offered this set(eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a “remarkable” price; fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeares plays

40、 and poems for some time, and these books in red imitation leather, looked particulary attractive: so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete words of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fi

41、fteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six-book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to

42、me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. In

43、stead you sent me a bill for forty-two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks: the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg. I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garag

44、e, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for my more books, and even if I read from now on until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that youve sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment.

During the twentieth century there has been an uncommon shorte

50、ning of proportion() of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four of five lived till they were five years old. By the time the yo

51、ungest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chances and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen wh

52、en she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement(退休) at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances(裝備) and convenient foodsThis important change in womens life-pattern has on

53、ly recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position(地位). Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity(chance), and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today their school-leav

54、ing age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to many younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in mar

55、riage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.( )28. According to the passage, a

56、round the year 1900 most women married _.A. at about twenty-five B. in their early fiftiesC.as soon as possible after they were fifteen D.at any age from fifteen to forty-five( ) 29. The passage tells us that the woman of today usually _.A. marries instead of getting paid work B.marries before she i

57、s twenty-fiveB. has more children under fifteen C.has too few children( ) 30. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she_.A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB. does not like children herself C.need not worry about food for her childrenC. can retire from family responsibilities(責任) when she reaches sixty （十）Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判員)And rarely trouble to keep scores. They dont care much about w
