Why doesn’t the man carry a camera with him?Listen to the conversation， mark each question as A， B， C or D according to what you hear. M: Did you take these pictures? They’re very good. W: Yes， I think they turned out well too. I like to take my camera with me wherever I go. That way， if I see something interesting， I can snap a picture of it. M: Carrying a big camera around is too much trouble for me. W: My camera is really small though. Here let me show you. M: That is a compact camera， but you really must know a lot about photography to get such professional looking results. W: Not necessarily. This camera is simple to operate. M: Does this model come with a flash attachment for indoor shots? W: Better than that. It has a built-in electronic flash and automatic focus， too. I don’t even have to worry about focusing. M: That’s what I need. When I take pictures they usually come out blurry because I don’t adjust the lenses properly and I hate photos that are out of focus. Is a camera like yours expensive? W: Less than you’d expected. Why don’t you check the prices at Hatfield’s down the street? This model was on sale there last week. M: I think I will. It certainly won’t hurt to take a look. He doesn’ t have a flash attachment. He thinks a big camera would be too much trouble. He doesn’ t think he knows enough about a camera. He has a professional photographer take pictures for him.

Do you have rooms available on those days? W: Just a minute. I’ll check. I’m very sorry， but we have two double rooms but not two singles available. M: What is the difference in price? W: The single rooms are $75， and doubles are $100. M: I see. What are the double rooms like? W: Very nice rooms， sir. I can give you two doubles on the 25th floor with a beautiful ocean view. M: All right fine. Then I’d like to book two double rooms for Sun Computer Software Company. The guests’ names are Mr. John Smith and Miss Maria Johnson. W: Thank you.

[*] Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken lag or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently—this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done—is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able to find some ways of settling their dispute other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right. That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets—while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life—nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages. But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started. From the point of view of evolution human beings are very young children indeed, babies, in fact, of a few months old. Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of jelly fish and that kind of creature for about twelve hundred million years; but there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years at the outside. These figures are difficult to grasp; so let us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the earth as one hundred years; then the whole past of man works out at about one month, and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight hours. So you see there has been little time to learn in, but there will the oceans of time in which to learn better. Taking man’ s civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future, that is to say, the whole period between now and when the sun grows too cold to maintain life any longer on the earth, at about one hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much. The past of man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and bullying and gorging and grabbing and hurting. We must not expect even civilized people not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.

It is very important for students who are studying English as a second language to read simple English. Some students may not like this advice. They may say “ I am a grown-up and you are asking me to read childish English. This is beneath me. I will not read it.“ [*] We can understand the feelings of such students. They read adult books in their native language and watch movies for adults. They know a lot about history, chemistry, biology and other school subjects. They understand what is happening in the modem world. How can we solve their problems? The main answer is that simple English is not the same as childish English. Books can deal with grown-up subjects although the language used is simple. There is a difference between what is said and the way in which it is said. Unusual and difficult words can be used to say childish and unimportant things, and simple words can be used to express deep thoughts. Many famous writers and speakers have expressed important thoughts and feelings in simple words. Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln are two examples. Winston Churchill reminded the British people how much they owed to the young airmen who died in the Battle of Britain with the words, never was so much owed by so many to so few. Abraham Lincoln reminded the American people of the kind of government the soldiers who fought in the American Civil War had died for, by saying, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. On these two solemn occasions, two famous speakers used very simple words to express deep feelings. If they had used long and unusual words they would not have moved their listeners so much. Having used these two examples, students should not think they are reading poor English when they are reading simple English. The opposite is more often true. Writers who have nothing to say often cover up their lack of thoughts with long words and difficult sentences. Reading simple English also improves writing. Students get used to expressing their ideas with simple words and sentences, and most people write in simple English so that their readers can understand what they want to say. Questions 71 - 75 Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank. The writer holds that simple English can be 【R1】______and is worth learning. He thinks it is wrong to consider simple English as 【R2】______because it can be used to deal with 【R3】______subjects well. For example, many prominent public figures, such as Churchill and Lincoln, successfully used simple words to express profound thoughts and feelings. On the other hand, some writers might use difficult language to conceal their 【R4】______. In addition, reading simple English helps students with their 【R5】______, as it makes students more familiar with expressing themselves in simple English, which is straightforward and easy to understand.

Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious“ both to the general public and to sociologists that modem society has changed people’ s natural relations, loosed their responsibilities 【M1】______ to kins and neighbors, and substituted in their place 【M2】______ for superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. 【M3】______ However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious“ is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you if you are a resident of a smaller community. 【M4】______ But, for the most part, this fact has a few significant 【M5】______ consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else. Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ from more and less 【M6】______ urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than do big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by 【M7】______ developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor 【M8】______ are residents of large communities any likely to display 【M9】______ psychological symptoms of stress or alienation than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and which leads them to a distrust of 【M10】______ strangers.
