Among the donkeys on sale he saw his own donkey.“This donkey is mine”, he said to the man standing by the donkey. “Someone stole it from me three years ago.”“How is that?” the man said. “It has been mine for three years.”“Three years?” the farmer said, “Are you sure?” Then he quickly covered the eyes of the donkey with his hands and asked, “Which eye is it blind in?”“The right eye,” said the man.The farmer took away his right hand and people saw the donkey’s right eye was clear and shining.“I made a mistake,” said the man “I meant to say the left eye.”“It is not blind in either eye,” said the farmer.

However, French almost became the official language because of a war.The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.46. A good title for this selection is _______.A. The French and Indian WarB. The English LanguageC. Washington’s ArmyD.

For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid 19th century commented that none of the great sea fisheries are to be exhausted. Today though, there is evidence that the resources of the sea are as seriously endangered as those of the land and the air, and that the endangered species include Herring and Carp as well as the African Elephant, Indian Tiger, and the American Eagle.Further, the threats to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds.This is because fish are a much needed food resource and people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their dish, and the decline in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population. Fisherman in the North Atlantic alone annually harvest 20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food demands, but it is important to recognize that these practices cannot continue without depleting fish storage within the next few years. Sea resources are rapidly declining in many parts of world, and the problem cannot be ignored.We can predict that food supplies in the sea cannot last forever.51. According to the speaker, what was the attitude in the 19th century toward resources of the sea?A. DeclinedB. DepletedC. LimitedD. Unlimited52. What is the range of the decline in fish supply?A.

Fish supply has no effects on people.D. Sea resources are important to people.55. Which of the following best describes the purpose of the lecture?A. Unlimited Sea Resources.B. Threats to Animals and Birds.C. Sea Resources on the Decline.D. Protection of Fish.Passage ThreeIn the U.S., people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a“doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have“Sunday dinner”.This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either.A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. There the waiter or waitress brings you your change.56. Which of the following statements is true?A.
