28、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 and poem

29、s for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen p

30、ounds 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 me at a

31、ll. 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. Instead y

32、ou 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 garage, and

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

39、swimming （花樣游泳） have received an unexpected change to the men's 100m final because of an embarrassing ticketing mistake.The London 2012 Organizing Committee （Locog） confirmed on Wednesday that an error in its ticket selling had led to four synchronized swimming competitions being oversold by 10,

40、 000 tickets.Locog and its ticket agent spent the Christmas period contacting ticket holders and offering them alternatives that included the tickets they had applied for but unsuccessful. The changes need no additional cost. It has also offered to return any discrepancy（差額） if the new tickets cost

41、less than the originals. Locog said the replacement tickets would come from a number of unsold seats across the Olympic Games and that it was doing all it could to make up the error to the fans who bought tickets.Locog said the error occurred in the summer, between the first and second round of tick

42、et sales, when a member of staff made a mistake, entering “20,000” into the computer rather than the correct figure of 10,000 remaining tickets. The error was discovered when Locog checked the number of tickets that had been sold against the final seating numbers, and began contacting ticket holders

43、 before Christmas.Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky, changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals, and in around 200 cases the hottest of all, the mens 100m final. Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the sync

44、hronized swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event, August 5.61. As a result of the ticketing mistake, about 200 people _.A. will luckily be able to watch the mens 100m finalB. will not enjoy the synchronized swimming eventsC. will have to change their tickets to other gamesD. hav

45、e applied for tickets to the mens 100m final62.

The number of tickets for synchronized swimming is 10,000.CFor high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very

48、important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship（實習）. In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between. Research shows that if high

49、schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education. In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to

50、make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment. But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education re

51、formers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable（易受影響的）kids with no jobs and no skills. Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teachi

52、ng them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school. However, even for teens whose

53、schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting (使人氣餒的). In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens

54、 who had trouble in landing a job, ”said Michael, a researcher in the US. 66. In the authors opinion, American high school leavers_A. have enough career-related coursesB. need more career advice from their schoolsC. perform better in exams than German studentsD. can get higher earnings in later years 67. According to Robert Schwartz，_A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the USB. students should get contact with the working world at high schoolC. education reform should focus on students performance in examsD. teenagers in the US cant miss o
