He knew exactly what he wanted: a room which was not too small, nor so large that it would be difficult to beat in winter It had to be clean and comfortable too but, above all, it had to be quiet. In the newspaper he had bought from the bookshop, there were very few advertisements (广告) for rooms to let. But, as he glanced down the page, a notice caught his eye.

     FLATS AND ROOMS TO LET


         This seemed hopeful, so he made a note of the address and set off in search of the agency He found it in a narrow street just off the main road.

         When Nancy Lublin received $5,000 from her grandfather in 1996, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans (贷款).Instead, the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. "If a woman goes for a job interview (面试) poorly dressed, she won't get the job, "Lublin says. "But without a job,she can't afford suitable clothes."

         So, with the money Lublin founded "Dress for Success' and began collecting women's clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. "So many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again," one of Lublin's assistants says "Nancy's idea is so simple and yet so important to women."

         Many women come to Lublin's office before going to a job interview. Here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need, Since it was set up, more than 1,000 women have turned to "Dress for Success" for help. Many of them have won job. Some have round jobs after being out of work for many years. Jenny, a 32-year-old woman who was recently hired as a law-firm office manager says, "I made a good impression (印象) because of 'Dress for Success' ."

         Sitting is art that isn't getting passed along People these days feel as though they have to be doing something If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking Courses to improve their minds or bodies -or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn't sitting - it's watching.

         People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out front in the Summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tries and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.

         Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest(消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel's illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze (悠闲的氛围).

         That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery(正充电的电池) doesn't look as if it's doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. if you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't just do something -sit there.

         63.What message does the author try to get through to us?
            A. People should make better use of their sitting room.
            B. People should spend less time watching TV.
            C. People should pass down their good habits.

            C. small town garages had a lot to offer

    THE BRONTE FAMILY

        Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels(小说) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte's also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters'.

        Their father was Pattick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.

         Charlotte was born in 1816 Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.

        As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young gril,alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting Therefore, they turned to writing for income.By 1847, Charlotte hd written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商);but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book.(It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sister had a book published in 1847.

        Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, considered one of the finest novels in the English language Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book,and Anne died in 1849.

        Charlotte published Shirley in 1849,and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.

    71. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte?

           A. Help him write stories
           B. Help him get trained in art.
           C. Teach him how to draw well.

    Dear Paul,
         I am so glad that you are planning to take a summer course in China. Our university runs summer Chinese language courses at three levels, from beginning to advanced. All the courses start in early July. Lessons will be given in small classes of no more than ten students. You will get a lot of practice in such a class. All classes are taught by teachers with rich experience in teaching foreign students. Classes meet four hours a day, five days a week-Monday through Friday. If you decide to come or need any further information, do let me know.
                                                                              Yours.

         People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out front in the Summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tries and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.

         Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest(消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel's illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze (悠闲的氛围).

         That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery(正充电的电池) doesn't look as if it's doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. if you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't just do something -sit there.

    THE BRONTE FAMILY


    Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels(小说) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte's also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters'.

    Their father was Pattick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.

    Charlotte was born in 1816 Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.

    As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, ablone wrote 22 bokks, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey.  After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商);but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book.(It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sister had a book published in 1847.

    Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, considered one of the finest novels in the English language Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book,and Anne died in 1849.

    Charlotte published Shirley in 1849,and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.
