26、e hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night. “Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked. The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were t

27、hree conventions in town. “All of our rooms are taken”, the clerk said. “But I cant send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one oclock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? Its not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the

28、night.” When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. “Dont worry about me; Ill make out just fine.” the clerk told them. So the couple agreed. As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “ You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the

29、 United States. Maybe someday Ill build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isnt easy. Two years passed.

30、 The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit. The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street. H

31、e then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky. “That,” said the older man, “is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.” “you must be joking,” the young man said. “I can assure you I am not, “ said the older man, a sly

32、smile playing around his mouth. The older mans name was William Waldof Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C. Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the m

36、y different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.

37、ryone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window.

They haven't yet started to take on their supply of energy directl

38、y as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet&

39、#39;s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed.

This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians, who tend to think of all white men as Europeans. But the British, when they are

44、in Britain, do not regard themselves as Europeans. The Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel, who have never learnt how to speak English. Europe is “the Continent”, a place full of interest for British tourists, but also the source of al

45、most all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus, although geographically speaking Britain is part of Europe, yet the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them, o

46、r even to understand them, in time of need.Where did the British people come from? This is an interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races, and all these races invaded Britain at various times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during t

47、he first century B.C. but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes; firstly the Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish , some of whom still speak the Gaeli

48、c language; and secondly the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization, but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived until the ov

49、erthrow of the Roman Empire by the “barbarians”, i.e. the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.64. By raising the question in paragraph 1, the author _-. A. shows his doubt whether the British are Europeans. B. means that both Africans and Asians are foolish. C. makes t

50、he readers interested in his article. D. means that the British are wrong.65. Which phrase best describes the attitude of the British towards “the Continent”? A. Full of love B. Mixed feelings. C. Much envy D. Lack of interest.66. The British feel very different because _. A. they are separated geog

51、raphically from the Continent. B. they were once attacked by the people on the Continent. C. they sometimes fail to help the continental countries in time of need. D. they are considered rather difficult to understand by other countries.67. Which shows the correct order in which different races inva

52、ded British? A. The Iberians, the Britons, the Gaels, the Barbarians, the Romans. B. The Romans, the Iberians, the Scots and Irish, the Barbarians. C. The Iberians, the Gaels, the Britons, the Romans, the Barbarians.D. The Iberians, the Scots and Irish, the Romans, the Barbarians. DYou will be proud

53、 of yourselves if you can make some green changes, even a few. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global warming.1.
