When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one－year stay, they did not

When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes,and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them？ People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples -people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the room ’s only window. But Tomhad to spend all his time flat on his back.

Every afternoon when John could sit up, he would describe to Tom all the things he couldsee outside the window. Tom was so attracted by the description that he could not wait for thoseone-hour periods. The window faced a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and birds played on thewater while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm and a fine view ofthe city could be seen in the distance. As John described all this in detail, Tom would close hiseyes and imagine the beautiful scenes.

Days and weeks passed. One morning, the nurse found that John had passed awaypeacefully in his sleep. The next day, Tom asked if he could be moved to the bed next to thewindow. The nurse was happy to do this, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left himalone.

When John Milton writer of“Paradise Lost” entered Cambridge University in 1625 he was

After several years of study the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read.And as they began to read Latin poems they began to write poems in Latin.Because Milton was already a poet at ten his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys.During the seven years Milton spent at university he made regular use of his command of Latin.He wrote some excellent Latin poems which he published among his works in 1645.

Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. The
ir family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents gave me both of my other names.

People don't use their middle names very much. So" John Henry Brown" is usually called "John Brown". People never use Mr.; Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr. , Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.

Sometimes people ask me about my name. "When were you born, why did your parents call you Jim？" they ask. "Why did they choose that name？ The answer is they didn't call me Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather'. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.

Most English people have ______ name(s).

A．one

B．two

C．three

D．four

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful？ This might be called
laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot." That's tree. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak. comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in day, rise before your usual hour. This won' t change your cycle, but you'll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before petting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.

A．he is a lazy person

B．he refuses to follow his own energy cycle

C．he is not sure when his energy is low

D．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

" They laughed when I sat down at the piano, but when I started to play . . . ! " These wo
rds may be among the most successful in advertising history. Although the ad has not run for many years, the slogan is still remembered. It was written in 1925 for the V. S. School of Music, to sell home music lessons.

The ad has great appeal. It pictures a handsome man sitting at a piano in front of smiling guests. It tells the story of Jack, who has secretly learned to play the piano through a mail-order course. His friends at a party all scoff when he sits at the keyboard. But as he plays the first notes of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata, " they all amazed. When he finishes his flawless performance, the listeners shower him with applause and praise.

Jack tells his friends that he learned to play through the V. S. School of Music. He explains that he was taught through a new method, using no laborious scales and no tiresome practicing. He didn't even have a special talent for music! In the ad, others, too, could increase their popularity and gain happiness.

The writer of this ad, John Gaples, called this style. the "Walter Mitty approach." Walter Mitty is a character in a short story by James Thurber, who daydreams of taking part in great adventures. Although this ad seems old-fashioned now, many people still dream of such easy social success.

The opening sentence catches your attention by______.

A．surprising you

B．describing a humorous situation

C．ridiculing someone

D．appealing to people's dreams of personal success
