22、Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. 【1】 If a letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse.
Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. There were the Penny Black and the Two Pence Blue.

But some countries didn’t want to accept letters with stamps from others. 【3】 Each country in the UPU agreed to accept letters with prepaid postage from other members. And now almost every country in the world is a member of this organization. 【4】

Jenna’s cousin Nikki was coming over for the day. They had planned a picnic at the park. Rain drummed harder on the roof. “And it’s noisy!” Jenna shouted.
Grandma came into the living room. “Did I hear you describe the rain as boring and noisy?” she asked. “Sounds like somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed.”
“I did not,’’ Jenna said. “I got up the same way I always do.”
“You know what I mean.” Grandma said.
“Look,” Nikki came in and said. “I’ve been so patient. I’ve been waiting for months to wear these boots (靴子)!The yellow ducks look just like bath toys. Let’s go walking in the rain!”
“I don’t want to get wet,” Jenna said. “I want it to be sunny so we can go to the park. That would be fun.”

Jenna thought for a while. She knew Grandma was right. She was being kind of silly.
Nikki sat down next to her. “I’m sorry you’re sad.” Nikki said.

“We can get the picnic blanket and put it on the floor. Then we can make a picnic lunch. We can eat it inside. We won’t get wet, and there won’t be any bugs!” Nikki said.

27、English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native(地道的) English? In fact foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters. Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.
“WC is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become “Gets/Men” and “Ladies / Women” “I see much poor English in everyday life,” she says. “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Guizhou Province’, I know he or she should say ‘My hometown is in Guizhou Province’.” Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, “Direction of Airport”, which should be changed to “To the Airport” And it is “Room Rate”, not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep off the Grass” rather than “Care of the Green”.
The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.
【1】Who seldom uses letters of “WC” according to the passage?
A.Chinese students.
B.Foreigners from other countries.
C.Teachers from China.
D.English-speaking foreigners.
【2】What’s the attitude(态度) of the government towards the bad English on signs?
A.It’s native.
B.It should be changed.
C.It doesn’t matter.
D.It can be used on signs.
【3】When Nancy sees much poor English in everyday life, ________.
A.she thinks it should be corrected
B.she thinks it is dirty
C.she thinks it is proper
D.she likes to use it
【4】Which of the following signs is RIGHT?
A.Not Entry.
B.Room Price.
C.To the Airport.
D.Care of Green.
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Chinglish on menus.
B.Money spent on Chinglish.

28、 A young and successful man was travelling down a street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar (捷豹汽车).He was watching for kids rushing out from b【1】 parked cars. As his car passed, no children appeared. I【2】. a brick(砖)went flying into the Jaguar's side door. He was very a【3】 and drove the car back to the place where the brick had been thrown. The driver jumped out of the car and caught the nearest kid, shouting, "Who are you? What are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you do that?"
The young boy was apologetic. "I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do," he said. "I threw the brick because no one else would s【4】
With tears dripping down his face, the young boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother," he said, "he fell out of his wheelchair (轮椅)and I can't lift him up."
With tears in his eyes, the boy asked the man. 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too h【5】 for me." Moved beyond words, the driver hurriedly lifted the boy's brother into the wheelchair.
"Thank you and God bless you," the thankful child told the stranger. Too excited for words, the man simply watched the little boy push his brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long and slow walk back to the Jaguar. The d【6】 was very noticeable, but the driver never tried to r【7】 the dented (凹陷)side door. He kept it there to remind him of this message: Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.
God whispers in our souls and speaks to our heart. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, he has to throw a brick at us.
