youve just sold it to me,” he said. “yes, i know, but ive changed my mind. i am sorry. ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “ you must be crazy,” he said. then, suddenly the penny dropped. “i know what you want. you want me to repair your chair.” “youre right,” i said. “and what would you have done if i had walked in and said, would you mend this chair for me?” “i wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “we dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. but ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” he was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing. 56. we can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _.a. was rather impoliteb. was warmly receivedc. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chaird. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair 57. the expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_.a. changed his mindb. accepted the offerc. saw the writers purposed. decided to help the writer 58. how much did the writer pay? a. 5.b. 7.c. 20.d. 27. 59. from the passage, we can learn that the writer was _.a. honestb. carefulc. cleverd. funnybin my long years of teaching, i often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite(背诵) them, and i tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. however, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. they argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper. in my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. when you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. when you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. how can we say that it is useless? besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. this is true, but you dont need to worry. while you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. sure you dont remember your chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. so, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.60. the writer often asks his students to recite the texts, _.a. but they dont like to do so.b. and they are eager to do soc. but they wrote a letter to the department of education reporting the thing.d. but they do more exercises instead of reciting the texts.61. what do the students think about the teachers advice?a. the english teacher tries his best to help them with english.b. the english teacher is very kind to them.c. the english teacher asks them to do something useless.d. the english teacher should let them study on their own.62. when the students are against his suggestion, the writer_.a. often criticizes themb. patiently explains to them why they should recite the textsc. wants to give up his idead. is afraid that he is criticized by the headmaster.63. why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text?a. reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching.b. reciting the texts is the best way of learning english.c. the students should remember all the texts the teacher has taught them.d. reciting the texts can improve the ability of using english.cwhen you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are, these are six ways to make you feel good about yourself.1) look in the mirror and say to yourself, i am a special person and theres no one in the world like me. i can do anything! it may not sound so good, but it really works!2) do something nice for someone. helping others always makes you feel good.3) smile! be friendly to people you meet. look for the good things in your friends and family.4) learn something new! have you always wanted to decorate(装饰) your own room or learn how to swim?
