24 March

Dear Julie,

I'm sorry I haven't written for a while, but I've been busy at work and have spent almost all my spare time looking for a flat(公寓). I saw a really nice place this morning--a third floor flat with two bedrooms. I have been tired of living in this hotel.

I met a very nice Japanese couple(夫妇) the other night and they've asked me to spend a weekend with them at their house in the country. It'll be nice to get away from Tokyo for a few days. The only problem is that they don't speak much English, and my Japanese is still very poor.

By the way, I can't remember if I thanked you for the things you sent me. Believe me, they'll be really useful when I get a flat and start doing a bit of cooking for myself.

I'm afraid I'll have to finish now. Sorry it's a short letter but I've planned to go out with some friends. I'll write again at the end of the week. Until then, take care of yourself and give my love to Tim.

Love,

John

What does John do most of the time when he is not working？

A．He goes out with friends.

B．He takes Japanese lessons.

C．He looks for a place to live in.

第5题

I'd been living with my wife for eight years and one night. Morn says, "I guess you guys a

re never going to get married. I mean, you've been through jail together, you're living together, but…, oh, forget it."

"Oh, well," I said," put it like that and I'll marry your daughter tomorrow."

Actually, I don't know what we were waiting for, except that for a guy it's never the right time to get married. I' m also suspicious of any two people who don't struggle with that decision. Part of my problem was that I was still lusting in my heart after other ladies. But somehow I knew that I wasn't going to find another woman remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife. It's a good thing my mother-in-law finally spoke up.

I finally gathered my courage one day when we were having a picnic, and popped the question. I also gave my wife a big tourist pamphlet about Switzerland. I wasn't taking any chances.

She said no.

It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my appetite. Our dog just stared at me, thinking, "If you're not going to eat your lunch, I will." Finally, I said, "But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say yes."

"Switzerland , "she said, "is filled with precise, humorless people."

"Maybe I should have suggested Paris？"

For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans would rate a solid "maybe". But she said no again. When we woke up the next morning, she told me that she'd slept on my proposal. "I guess I was a little rude to you last night," she explained. Meanwhile, I'm figuring I'm off the hook for this marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be generous.

"I asked, you said no. It's okay," I said. I might have looked a little too relieved because later that day she gave me a little box. Inside was a gold watch. On the back was inscribed. "Yes. I've reconsidered."

I liked the watch, so I did the right thing.

The reason why the man had waited so long for his marriage was that he ______.

A．didn' t think eight years was long enough

B．suspected that husband and wife would often quarrel

C．didn't think he was ready to propose to her

D．was waiting for his mother-in-law's approval

第6题

It's a typical Snoopy card; cheerful message, bright colors, though a little yellow and fa

ded now. Though I've received fancier, more expensive card over the years, this is the only one I've saved. One summer, it spoke volumes to me.

I received it during the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teenage daughters alone. In all the emotional confusion of this sudden single parenthood, I was overwhelmed with, of all things, the simplest housework, leaky taps, oil changes, even barbeques(烧烤). Those had always been my husband's jobs. I was embarrassed every time I hit my thumb with a hammer or couldn't get the lawnmower(割草机) started.

My uncertain attempts only fueled the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my girls？ Clearly, I lacked the tools and skills.

On this particular morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something. (I prayed it wasn't another repair job). The "something" turned out to be an envelope and several wrapped bundles on the carpet. My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughters' bright faces.

"Go ahead! Open them!" They urged. As I unwrapped the packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill (烧烤架) and all the necessary objects including a green kitchen glove with a frog pattern on it.

"But why？" I asked.

"Happy Father's Day!" they shouted together.

"Moms don't get presents on Father's Day". I protested.

"You forgot to open the card". Jane reminded. I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, on top of his dog house, merrily wishing me a Happy Father's Day. "Because", the girls said, "you've been a father and mother to us. Why shouldn't you be remembered on Father's Day？"

As I fought back tears, I realized they were right, I wanted to be a "professional" dad, who had the latest tools and knew all the tricks of the trade. The girls only wanted a parent they could count on to be there, day after day, performing repeatedly the maintenance tasks of basic care and love.

The girls are grown now, and they still send me Father's Day cards, but none of those cards means as much to me as that first one. Its simple message told me being a great parent didn't require any special tools at all—just a willing worker.

By "it spoke volumes to me", (Para. 1) the mother in the story means the card______.

A．conveyed significant meanings to her

B．aroused great sorrow in her

C．brought her pleasant feelings

D．made her feel important
