But for several years after 1945 it seemed that there was a "sound barrier" :a kind of wall no plane could pass through. Pilots first met this barrier in the fastest planes of the Second World War. When they came near the speed of sound in a dive, their planes would suddenly begin to shake and tremble. It was almost as if they were being hit by a huge hammer. Several times pilots lost their lives when, suddenly, the wings of the plane were torn off.Aero plane designers knew the cause of this. They knew that when a plane comes near the speed of sound, waves of air build up in front of the wings. The wings cannot cut through them. The barrier or wall consists of these thick waves of air. The American Air Force ordered a special,-rocket-powered plane in order to look into the problem. It was very strongly built and had special wings. But the young pilot, Captain C. Yeager, still had to face a frightening fact. He might easily be killed.In 1947 he took the plane up on a number of flights. Each time he came closer to the speed of sound. The closer he got, the more the plane shook and trembled. He finally decided he would break through the barrier. To save fuel, the special plane was taken up high above the clouds under a bomber. Then it was dropped. Yeager turned the engine on and the plane began to get nearer and nearer the speed of sound. At one point it seemed that the plane would fall apart in the shaking. But suddenly the people on the ground heard a tremendous boom, like the sound of thunder. At the same time, the shaking stopped. The plane was flying faster than sound but perfectly smoothly. Yeager had "broken the sound barrier" and he had also shown that it was not a problem if the plane was designed properly.31. The sound barrier was first met byA. very fast planes in the Second World WarB. the fastest planes that came out several years after 1945C. Captain Yeager in 1947D. rocket bombs32. The sound barrier wasA. a certain speed planes were ordered to stay underB. a terrible noise or boom made by planes when they flew too fastC. a kind of wall of air that built up in front of the wings of a planeD. a wave of air created by the noise of rockets or planes flying fast33. The pilots had the sensation by a huge hammer.A. to be hitB. to have been hitC. from being hitD. of being hit34. Before Yeager took off, he knew that he be killed.A. mightB. mayC. canD. was able to35. When the shaking stopped,A. the plane was flying at sound speedB. the plane was flying slower than soundC. the plane was flying faster than soundD. the plane was falling apartPassage 2The ship first appeared as a small speck on the horizon. We had grown impatient at the delay and cheered when we caught sight of it. For most of us this was an important event, because the small object that had come into view was a troopship. Husbands, fathers, brothers and friends were coming home after an absence of four years. We were informedover the micro-phone that the ship would be in the harbour in about three quarters of an hour's time. We did not need telling and cheered more loudly than ever.The harbour had rarely witnessed such a colorful spectacle. It was decked out with flags and because the day was warm, we were all wearing gay summer frocks and looking our best for the occasion. The time we waited seemed endless; but little by little the speck took the form of a ship and, in a short time, it came so near that we could make out its name: Candia, printed in large letters on the prow.Now the crowd of about five hundred could hardly be held back. People were jumping up and down, waving; and little boys climbed on to stationary vehicles to get a better view. As the tugs piloted the great ship into the harbour, everybody peered eagerly at the troops lined along the railings. Soldiers on board waved to us wildly, shouting out the names of people they recognized or wanted to see. The two young men in the crowd who were holding a big banner with ' Welcome Home! painted on it almost fell over in their excitement to lift it higher. An old man put his hat on the end of his walking stick and twirled it round and round until it slipped off and fell into the sea. Women were crying; others laughing; and some did not quite know whether to laugh or cry. Someone called out ' There's your daddy! And a small boy of four was held high in the air to see his father whom he had never seen before. Now the troops were directly above us. Our excitement had mounted to a peak, for soon they would disembark!36. Which one of the following statements is true?A. The ship arrived at the time it was expected.B. The ship was late in arriving.C. The ship was three quarters of an hour late.D. They had been waiting for a long time, but the ship hadn't appeared.37. From the description, it is clear that the crowd consistedA. mainly of womenB. mainly of menC. mainly of childrenD. mainly of elderly people38. We didn't need and cheered more loudly than ever ( line 1, para. 1 ).A. to tellB. to be toldC. to be tellingD. for telling39. It came for us to make out its name(line 4, para. 2).A. so nearB. enough nearC. near enoughD. too near40. What does the author mean by "mounted" in the last sentence?A. raisedB. fallenC. risenD. dropped生活充满了色彩，但是蒙着一层雾需要你的拨开。

It is not a stimulant but a depressant, which adversely affects concentration, removes inhibitions, and increases the risk of accidents. Under the influence of alcohol people are less able to exercise self control and may say and do things that they afterwards regret—perhaps for the rest of their lives. For example, a girl who does not wish to have a baby may be made pregnant by a man whom she would not have chosen as the father of her child; and a man may make pregnant a woman whom he would not have chosen as the mother of his child. Some other forms of drug taking, like drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco, are part of group behaviour. Such drug taking is encouraged by those who are already addicted to the drug, and by those who profit by making and selling the drug.Anyone who starts taking a drug may soon become addicted to it. As with all bad habits, it is better not to start drug taking than to suffer the physical and emotional harm caused by the drug and to have the problem of trying to break the addiction. It is best, therefore, to refuse the drug that is offered. Apart from other considerations, drugs that come from unreliable sources （because their manufacture and distribution is against the law） are not available in carefully measured doses and theirpurity is not guaranteed. Their effects are unpredictable and they may well be dangerous.

In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can made some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.1． Adders are most likely to be found ___ .（）A． in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB． in Scotland and nowhere elseC． on uncultivated land throughout BritainD． in shady fields in England2． If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder you should ___ .（）A． try to catch the adderB． make no attempt to treat the biteC． not worry about the victimD． operate as soon as possible3． We are told that adders are ___ （）A． normally friendly towards peopleB． unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC． aggressive towards anyone in their territoryD． not afraid of human beings4． If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ___ .（）A． move out of your pathB． take no notice of you at allC． disappear very quicklyD． wait until you are close then attack5． We are told that in general British people think snakes are （）A． not very common in BritainB． usually harmlessC． more dangerous than they usually areD． unlikely to kill people by their bite3． Our culture has caused most Americans to assume （设想） not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving goodbye is the way to summon （召唤） a person from the Philippines to one's side, or that in Italy and some Latin - American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War Ⅱ and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did bother to find out that “Gift” means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic（语⾔上的）and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take no notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States, we make few concessions （让步） to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual（多语⾔的） guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad, we tend to cluster （成群） in hotels and restaurants where English is not spoken. Then attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives usually the richer—who speak English. Our business dealings, as well as the nation's diplomacy（外交） , are conducted through interpreters.For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all America is the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor needed funds and goods.But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.1． It can be inferred that Americans being approached （接近）too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably ___ .（）A． stand stillB． jump asideC．step forwardD． draw back2． The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their ___. （）A． cultural self-centerednessB． casual mannersC．indifference towards foreign visitorsD． arrogance （傲慢态度） to wards other countries3． In other countries most Americans ___.（）A． are isolated by the local peopleB． are not well informed due to the language barrierC．tend to get along well with the nativesD． need interpreters in hotels and restaurants4． According to the author, Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will ___.（）A． affect their image in the new eraB． cut themselves off from the outside worldC．limit their role in world affairsD． weaken the position of the US dollar5． The author's intention in writing this article is to make Americans realize that ___. （）A． it is dangerous to ignore their foreign friendsB． it is important to maintain their leading role in world affairsC．it is necessary to use several languages in public places四、词汇拼写题1．象征的 a. s__ __ __ __ __ __ __2．惭愧的 adi. a _ _ _ _ _ _3．症状，征兆 n. s_ _ _ _ _ _4．不断增加地 ad. i___ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __5．否定的，否认的 adj. n _ _ _ _ _ _ _6．增援，加强 vt. r___ __ __ __ __ __ __ __7．献⾝ n. d _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _8．配偶 n. p _ _ _ _ _ _9．着⼿做 vt. u_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _10．定位 n. l _ _ _ _ _ _ _11．装饰 v. o _ _ _ _ _ _ _12．适度的 adj. m _ _ _ _ _ _ _13．汁，液 n. j _ _ _ _14．压倒之势的 a. o__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __15．除…之外 prep. e _ _ _ _ _16．过度的 adj. u _ _ _ _17．拧紧 v. t _ _ _ _ _ _18．焦点的 adj. f _ _ _ _19．投票 n./v. p _ _ _20．坚持地，固执地 ad. p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _五、词形变换题1． The new method is much___（efficient） than the old one.2． Scientists have suggested that very ___ （advance） technology could one day make use of the energy of black holes for mankind.3． When he hurried to the airport, he found, to his great disappointment, his ticket and passport ___ （leave） at home. 4． I can still spend hours dressing to go somewhere, trying to find a look that___（follow） the rules of fashion, the rules of personal expression and the rules of not caring about fashion, all at the same time.5． I could see that the word water meant something___（wonder） and cool.6． If thalidomide ___(invent) today, it would never be released for human use because new tests on pregnant animals would reveal the dangers.7． Many other new techniques are available that enable more research___（do） in the test tube.8． Every student in this class likes the film ___ （base）on the novel by D.

Cloze Test (10 points, 1 point each)However careful one may be, he cannot possibly listen carefully to everything that he hears. There are 11 of reasons for this. One of them is the overload of messages most of us 12 each day. In addition to the numerous hours we 13 hearing other people speak, we may spend several hours listening to the radio or sitting in front of a television set. 14, it is impossible to focus our attention completely on what is said; our mind might be 15 elsewhere. Preoccupation with our personal concerns is 16 reason we don't always listen carefully. A romance 17 sour or a good grade on a test may take prominence in our mind even as 18 is speaking to us. Furthermore, we are surrounded by all kinds of noises which interfere 19 listening. For example, voices at a party or 20 of traffic may simply make it difficult for us to catch everything that is being said.11. A. the number B. a number C. number D. numbers12.

Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points each)Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many of today's most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto. When he was young, Eaton worked briefly with his brothers in small-town stores. In 1869, hefor success. He offered a unique style of trade, but as was expected, all the other shopkeepers laughed at him, believing he would eventually fail. However, Eaton was not a man to be easily defeated; he came up with a brand new notion of business - "Goods satisfactory, or money refunded." He sold all his goods at fixed prices and only for cash.With a sharp sense of what the public wanted, he went out of the way to meet their needs. His business grew rapidly. He set up new branches and started mail order service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.Eaton's list-advertisements of his day-was the first of its kind. It was distributed and read all over the country. It was the only way to access good-quality goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cites. It became part of their life. They even called it The Wishing Book. The secret of the list's success was that Eaton gained the respect of this customers; they trusted him for good prices and quality goods. Probably because he remembered his miserable early days in Ireland, Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees: better working conditions, shorter weekday hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off in the summer. In all this, he was a leader.21. The best description of Eaton is that ______.A. he was the richest merchant in TorontoB. he was a successful technical inventorC. he introduced new sales practicesD. he changed people's ideas about businessmen22. Eaton's success lay primarily in that ____.A. he sold only good quality goodsB. he was the first person to provide good serviceC. he treated his employees better than any of his competitorsD. he won respect from his customers23. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. Eaton invented the idea of the internet shoppingB. Eaton drove other businessmen to failureC. Eaton never sold his goods on creditD. Eaton was defeated by his rivals24. The best title for this passage is _____.A. Good Goods, of Money RefundedB. Eaton, a Sales InventorC. Customers' Respect, a Secret of SuccessD. Eaton's list, a Welcome Event in Sales History25. Eaton's List was important to people on farms because it was a convenient way of getting _____.A. good-quality goods at reasonable pricesB. goods at unreasonable pricesC. good-quality goods at unreasonable pricesD. poor-quality goods at reasonable pricesPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The threat of a global outbreak (疾病大爆发) of bird flu makes it urgent for the international community to cooperate effectively. Wealthy countries will have to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and production of medicines necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu. Developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, where the bird flu virus (病毒) has spread since 1997, must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide sighs of possible outbreaks. In addition, the way such farm birds as chickens and ducks are traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed; there should be more distance between the birds and their keepers. Countries should deal with the disease with joint effort. If one country is inadequately prepared, it will be a threat to every other country.The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous. Firstly, an outbreak may kill large numbers of people. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4 millions people. If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50 million, the number would be much higher. Secondly, such an outbreak may cause great financial damage. The latest outbreak of bird flu, which began in December 2003, has cost Southeast Asia more than $10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent. If a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year, $800 billion would be lost.Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003, the virus remains mainly a disease animals. However, the more animals that die of the disease, the more chances it has of spreading to people. Large numbers of dead or dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus and change into a virus with new characteristics. If the international community works together efficiently, man can surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.26. Faced with the threat of a global outbreak of bird flu, the international community should ________.A. establish new marketsB. work together effectivelyC. stop birds from flying to other countriesD. raise fewer chickens and ducks27. The second paragraph focuses on ______.A. World Health OrganizationB. flus in Hong Kong and SpainC. the economy of Southeast AsiaD. possible effects of a bird flu outbreak28. The number of people who have died of bird flu since 2003 is _______.A. 63B. 124C. 7.4 millionD. 50 million29. In the third paragraph, the author is mainly interested in _____.A. stimulating financial growthB. reducing economic damagesC. saving human livesD. protecting bird species30. The passage deals with all the following aspects bird flu EXCEPT _______.A. the origin and history of bird fluB. the importance of international cooperationC. the possible dangers of a national outbreakD. the significance of preventing it from spreadingPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. "We worry more about their safety in the holidays," explains one mother from North London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room! Well, that's an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous?Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents. "At least our parents can keep tabs on us," says 16-year-old Julia. "So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late." Mobiles are not just expensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they make parents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.31. Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______.A. wander around on bus in the cityB. chat to strangers in Internet chat roomsC. make questionable friends on the netD. are taken little care of by teachers32. For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school ________.A. by carB. by busC. by trainD. by public transport33. Most significantly, mobile phones _______.A. enable parents keep a close watch on their kidsB. help keep teenagers safeC. make parents feel less worriedD. protect teenagers from being attacked34. Teenagers should never give any strangers ______.A. their mobile phone numbersB. their family addressC. their personal informationD. their parents' names35. This passage is mainly about ________.A. freedom for teenagers in summer holidaysB. safety for teenagers in summer holidaysC. activities for teenagers in summer holidaysD. troubles for teenagers in summer holidaysPART TWO (50 POINTS)IV.

新英达自考英语本科试题2009年4月英语写作试题
新英达自考英语本科试题2009年4月英语写作试题全国2009年10月高等教育自学考试英语写作试题课程代码：00603I．Supply the missing paragraph(20 points)The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing．Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words．Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided．The Breakdown of CommunicationIt is commonly acknowledged that language problems make communication between people from different cultures difficult．Because of the language barriers，people cannot express their feelings clearly to each other．However, communication problems also exist between individuals from the same culture．Although they have the same cultural background，they sometimes cannot understand each other well．Communication between individuals breaks down because of many factors．The most significant ones include personality, age difference and competition between individuals．Personality has a great influence on communication between people．First, the sharing of common interests is often essential for initiating communication．If two people hold completely different attitudes，it will not be easy for them to start communicating with each other．Second，the willingness to express their feelings and opinions freely is needed if meaningful communication is to be developed．Some people do not want to talk about controversial subjects, fearing that this will hurt their relationship with friends. Instead, they keep their discussion of topics at a very superficial level，which prevents them fromknowing and understanding each other. The lack of understanding leads to unsuccessful communication. It is clear that personality, to some extent，affects the initiation and maintenance of communication.Although age difference gives rise to communication problems between two generations，competition poses an even greater problem when people are about the same age．Intense competition in the modern world creates tremendous pressure on people．In order to get ahead in a career or in school, people tend to devote most of their time to working，studying，or other activities that enhance their prospects for the future．As a consequence，they have little inclination to communicate with others. They are anxious about their achievements because those are the measures of success in life. So, keen competition also discourages people from having a good understanding of each other.Communicating with other people involves much effort because people?s personality, the generation gap and keen competition bring about potential problems. These problems are constantly with us, and any of them may lead to a breakdown in communication between individuals.II．Write an outline(20 points)Read the following passage carefully and compose a ‘‘topic outline’’ for it．What Is a Rodeo?“Rodeo” is a Spanish word meaning ……gathering place or marketplace for cattle.” A rodeo itself is a competitive contest based loosely on traditional cowboy skills of riding and roping．It consists of six major events：riding an untamed horse in a saddle；riding an untamed horse without a saddle；riding abull；roping a calf；wrestling a bull to the ground；racing horses around barrels with women riders. A rodeo is perhaps the most genuinely American of all sports．The first rodeo took place following a cattle roundup in the 1880s．From this informal cowboy pastime，a colorful spectacle has evolved that contains many familiar American elements--the exciting action of bucking horses and bulls，the explosive masculine environment，the hot dog stands，beer barrels，boots，jeans，and cowboy hats．T oday, most rodeos are staged in a large，flat arena that is fenced off to protect the viewing public．Grandstands are erected on two sides of the arena；on the other sides are places to hold the horses，calves，and bulls．Nearby are narrow chutes from which animals are released into the arena．On a platform a loudspeaker system is set up for the announcer, who introduces the riders and comments on the events as they happen．Near the arena are refreshment stands where people gather to buy food and drink. Portable rest rooms are set up near the grandstand，and an ambulance is parked nearby in case of an accident.An opening parade of proud riders on proud horses usually begins a rodeo；the performers carry flapping national and state flags．Then the two-act performance begins．Calf roping and bull wrestling are timed events．In the fastest possible time，a man must rope and throw to the ground a calf and tie three of its feet together．In bull wrestling，the object is to tumble the bull onto its back with its head and all its feet in line．Calf roping has been done under fifteen seconds，and a bull has been wrestled in less than ten seconds．When riding an animal，a contestant mounts before the chute gates are opened．The rider must stay on the buckinganimal for eight seconds；points are given for the performance of both the animal and the contestant．In all riding events，the contestant is disqualified if he touches the animal with his free hand．Probably the most difficult rodeo feat is Brahman bull riding．During this event, a rodeo comes to resemble a circus because gaily-costumed clowns come into the arena to dis tract the bull?s attention from fallen riders．To stay on a bucking bull for as long as eight seconds is one of the most challenging tasks in a rodeo. Spectators eagerly wait for this event．The present circus extends far beyond the region where the contests first developed．Now rodeos are popular throughout the western half of the U．S．A．and in major eastern and southern cities．Australia also stages these events．One of the biggest rodeos of all is held during the annual Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Canada．III．Compose an essay(60 points)Traditionally, Chinese families would gather at home and have a big dinner on the eve of the Chinese New Year．In recent years, however, many families choose to have the dinner at restaurants．Which do you think is a better choice, and why? Write a 300-word expository essay stating your views.。

(20 % )After we had waited for ten minutes in the crowded tea shop, the clergyman's son c ame lumbering through the door. My heart leapt and I could feel myself growing pale, my knees under the gingham tablecloth began to tremble. "There he is," I whispered. "Where? There, by the door. ““Y ou mustn't wave to him like that! He'll think you want to see him! Well, I do want to see him! Hush, here he comes. ““I say, isn't he tall...? “She moved up on the oak pew, making room for him."Hullo," I said." Hullo," he said.We smiled at each other and he clapped his hands together, knocked against a woman at the next table, apologized, at last fitted himself into the pew with his back to Ireen."This is Ireen," I said.He swiveled round, pulling the tablecloth with him. There was demerara sugar (rough pale brown sugar) all over the place.He slapped about with a rather dirty handkerchief and Ireen said it didn't matter at all. He then said, "How do you do?" and held out his big hand which grew out of his rather skimpy sleeve like a beautiful cabbage. She shook it delicately. He then sat on his hands, as though to prevent further damage."I've heard so much about you," Ireen said. Her eyelids were fluttering as mine did when I was trying not to cry. I thought perhaps she had hurt herself in the scuffle. "It's so nice to meet you at last. ""Well," he said. But nothing came after. He was staring at her. Her eyelids beat up and down and for some reason she had clenched the tip of her tongue between her teeth and was smiling at the same time. This gave her the look of a complete maniac. At least two whole minutes went by, while I held my breath and wondered what on earth was happening. Was she having a fit? Was this normal? Should I scream or faint or simply carry on with the conversation?"Are you going to have an ice-cream?" I said."No. No. I can't stop. I can't stay. I've got to..."Oh, but you must!"Ireen said, and put her hand on his arm, at the same time impossibly moving her body at least six inches towards him. "Y ou simply must stay!"Now I knew that in daylight, in public places, the clergyman's son was untouchable. To brush against him by accident was, enough to send him crashing away, hair tossing, arms flailing, a fearful embodiment of terror and disgust. Therefore when Ireen assaulted him, so to speak, I drew in my breath, knowing what would happen. He leapt up as though shot, took two steps backwards and overturned a hat stand, whirled round and hit a small child over the head with his great uncontrollable hand, bent sideways, grabbed the hat stand, looked desperately at the screaming child, dropped the hat stand, leapt over the pile of fallen coats straight into a waitress with a tray, turned, gasped, gave a hunted cry and was gone. I let out my breath and took a mouthful of ice-cream. The care reassembled itself round me with sounds of protest and distress."What a pity," I said. "He doesn't like you."Doesn't like me?""Y ou have to be very careful with some boys," I said. "Y ou have to know how to deal with them. ""If you think he ran away like that because he didn't like me " she shouted, outraged.I licked my spoon, stroking my tongue with it. "I know he did.”21.
