(A)At the entrance to a big office in London there was a book in which all employees (雇员) had to sign their names when they arrived each morning. At nine o‟clock, the manager‟s secretary, who lived in a small room above the office, had to draw a red line under the last name in the book, and anyone who came after that had to give a reason for being late.Wherever there was a thick fog in the city, the first person that arrived late usually wrote “Delayed by fog” below his name and then everyone else who came after that just put “The Same”.But one foggy morning, the first late man wrote “My wife had a baby early this morning” instead of “Delayed by fog”. More than twenty people who came after him put “The Same” below as usual.36.

What a dull(not interesting or boring) the world would be if this were not true!Some differences are small, and one soon becomes used to them. For example, many people find it strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one city, they may attend school in a second, enter business in a third, and perhaps move several times during their lives. Today, most Americans fully expect and accept the fact that they will move frequently.However, houses are of great interest to Americans. They spend a lot of time thinking, reading and talking about their homes and how to improve them. They also enjoy looking at other people‟s houses, since they would enjoy visiting and examining a house in anothercountry, they may suppose that you will probably have the same desire(strong wish) when you visit the United States. So do not be surprised when you visit an American family and are shown every room in the house besides the bathroom and kitchen.39.

You can buy everything there, and there are also banks, restaurants and, sometimes, a post office.There are other places in the United States which are called five-and- ten-cent stores because they used to sell things for 5 to 10 cents. Today they sell almost anything and some of the things cost several dollars. Supermarkets are found in all the cities. They sell food and many other goods. You walk around the supermarket, choose the things you want, put them into a special basket prepared by the store and pay for them all together at the door. Supermarkets often stay open later than other stores.Stores are usually open every day of the week except on Sunday. Some close on Saturdays in July and August.43.

It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks(攻击) by other beasts(野兽). And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught without permission.But now people in the city need not protect themselves from attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.47.
