  Hank was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a telephone call. His car had broken down outside the town and he wanted to get in touch with the car factory. Low clouds were moving across the sky and there was a cold wet wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was falling from the trees that lined the street. Hank was glad that he was wearing a thick coat.

  There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom he could ask. Hank had thought he might find a small shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.

  Then suddenly Hank found what he was looking for. In a dark narrow street there was a small post office and next to it was the town's only public call box. Hank hurried there but stopped in surprise when he saw through the dirty glass that there was a woman inside. She was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue raincoat. Hank could not see her face-she was facing the phone with her back against the glass and didn't even raise her head at the sound of his coming nearer and nearer. Carefully, slowly and surprisedly, Hank moved forward, stood a few feet away and lit a cigarette (香煙).

1.How was the weather of the day when the story happened?

[  ]

A.Cold, windy but clear.

B.Wet, cloudy but warm.

C.Rainy, windy and cold.

D.Windy, cold and cloudy.

2.Why did Hank want to get in touch with the car factory?

[  ]

A.He lost his way while walking along the street.

B.He wanted to find a public call box.

C.He needed to be helped over the difficulty.

D.He felt afraid in the deadly quiet place.

3.The underlined word what in the passage refers to (指的是) ________.

[  ]

A.the call box
B.the small shop
C.the post office
D.the car factory

4.Hank was surprised when he saw a woman in the box because ________.

[  ]

A.she was too fat to turn around

B.she was wearing a cheap raincoat

C.he could not see the woman's face

D.he never thought it had been taken up

5.Hank stood a few feet away from the box because ________.

[  ]

A.he wanted to have a smoke and take a short rest

  Han Meimei has read something with the colour words in them. She doesn't understand what they mean. So she went to her teacher, Mrs Green, for help. Here is what they are talking about:

  Meimei: Good morning, Mr Green. Have, you got a moment?

  Green: Yes. What can I do for you, Meimei?

  Meimei: I've come to some sentences that I don't understand. Can you help me?

  Green: What are they?

  Meimei: They are words of colour in these sentences on this list :

  (1) Jack is blue today.

  (2) She's yellow.

  (3) He's told a white lie (謊言).

  (4) Tom has a green thumb (大拇指).

  Green: In everyday English the word blue means sad. Yellow means afraid sometimes. A person with a green thumb usually grows plants well. When you tell a white lie, you mean not to trouble someone too much. A white lie is not a bad one.

  Meimei: Would you please give me an example of “a white lie”?

  Green: Certainly. If I give you a cake and you don't like it, you won't say that you don't like it. Instead you'll say that you are not hungry. That's a white lie.

  Meimei: I see. Thank you very much.

[  ]

B.one's feeling
