Mrs. Duke creativePractice Four A number of visitors to the UK, who had traveled throughout the British Isles, were asked by a newspaper reporter what their impressions of the British people w

31、ere. Here's a brief summary of what they thought.There were many different opinions among those interviewed: Some were very flattering, others very critical. The distinction between the English and the British wasn't always understood, but, on the whole, it seemed that the Scots were very po

32、pular with visitors. They were thought to be very friendly, even though one Dutch visitor confessed she'd found it hard to understand their English.A great number found the British generally reserved, particularly the English, although one Australian visitor called the English "the friendli

33、est people in the world and most hospitable". But she did admit that speaking the same language was a great help.Some Asian businessmen, who had traveled widely throughout England, said quite openly that they found North country people "much nicer" than people in the South. When asked

34、 what exactly they meant by "much nicer", one of them said, with a playful smile on his face, "By much nicer I mean much more like us!"A few continentals praised "English courtesy", but the majority found it dishonest and dull. "You're forever saying 'pleas

35、e' and 'sorry' when you don't feel pleased or sorry," one explained.A young student from South Africa had no views on the matter. He hadn't met any Englishmen, he said. The country appeared to be full of foreigners like himself. Statements 1. It was easy to tell the English

36、from the British. 2. Speaking the same language helped one Australian visitor a lot. 3. By "much nicer", one of the visitors meant that the British people were more friendly than people of other countries. 4. The majority of continentals thought highly of English manners. 5. To the young s

37、tudent from South Africa, Britain seemed to have a lot of foreign visitors.

39、 that has just landed on my nose. Am I getting excited or annoyed? Am I swearing or waving my arms around? No. I'm not. I'm perfectly calm."Just as he had said this, Mr. Smith started shouting. He jumped up and began to wave his arms around wildly and swear terribly. He couldn't spe

40、ak for some time, but at last he was able to tell his wife: The thing on his nose was not a fly, but a bee. 1) upset 2) sensible 3) lecture 4) calm 5) strength6) landed 7) waving 8) perfectly 9) wildly 10) beeSection IITom: Oh, that Mr. Taylor.

43、ruel? Now how can a history teacher be cruel?Tom: Because he only gave me two out of ten points in my history test.Mother: Oh, now I understand.

51、 good dog. I shot at the ducks, and then I sent the dog out there. She was heavy with pups at the time, and I didn't know whether I should send her out there. It was a cold day in the fall. Well, she took right off and away she went. But she didn't show up when it got dark. I began to worry

52、about her. She was a good dog, a really good retriever. She'd get anything I shot at. "So the next morning I woke up and I thought I'd better go and see if I could find her. And I got down to the shoreline of the lake and I looked out. Suddenly I saw something coming. It was this dog. S

53、he came into the shore! She had three ducks in her mouth. And behind her she had seven pups. And each of the pups had a duck in his mouth." Exercise 11. B 2. B 3. A 4. B 5. CExercise 21. T 2. F 3. T 4. T 5. F 6. TListening II There was an old man who had a daughter. He told his daughter that he

55、nt to the train to meet the Reverend, and the girl began to taste the ducks. The ducks tasted so good that she kept on tasting them until she had eaten them all up, every bit of them.After the old man came back, he didn't even look in the place where he had left the ducks. He went directly into

56、the other room to sharpen his knife on the oilstone so he could carve the ducks. The preacher was sitting in the room with the girl. She knew that her papa was going to punish her, and she started crying and shedding tears. The preacher asked, "What is the matter with you, girl?" She said,

57、 "Papa has this one bad fault: He invites preachers to his house and goes to sharpen his knife to cut off both their ears." And the Reverend asked, "What is that you say, daughter?" The girl said, "Yes, Papa invites preachers here all the time and cuts off both their ears.&q

58、uot; The preacher said, "Daughter, hand me my hat. Quick!" The girl gave him his hat and he ran out of the door quickly. The daughter called her papa and said, "Papa, the preacher got both the ducks and has gone." The old man ran to the door and yelled to the preacher, "Hey,

59、 where are you going in such a hurry? Come back here right now!" But the preacher just kept running and shouted back over his shoulder, "Damned if you'll get either one of these." Exercise 11. A 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. CExercise 21. T 2. F 3. T 4. T 5. F 6. FListening III Jack Storm was
