Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.

Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.

Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.

“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said.

“I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbour!”

The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”

Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials(材料) ready and then he was off for the day.

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!

It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!”

Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other.” said Farmer Bob.

Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”

Just before the carpenter came, John and Bob             each other.

A. didn’t speak to                 B. were friendly to     

C. often fought with                 D. never had bitter words with

Farmer John asked the carpenter to build a fence because            .

         A. he wanted to protect his farm   B. he didn’t want to do it himself

         C. he wouldn’t like to see Bob     D. he wanted to find him something to do

What does the sentence “You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!” mean?

A. John was great to build this bridge.

B. John was not good at building bridges.

C. John was foolish to build such a bridge.

D. John should build the bridge earlier.

What is the best title for the passage?

         How to say hello in Japanese depends on when you say it. This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night. In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting. We don`t get formal with our close friends. We seldom greet them with “Good morning” or “Good evening”. A “Hi” is enough.

         Although the most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konniqiwa” , it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese. Perhaps it is not the most suitable word for it. Actually, the correct greeting in English for “Konniqiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon”, and I am sure you wouldn`t like greeting people with a “Good day” at any time, and neither do Japanese like saying “Konniqiwa” when they want to say “Hello” .

         So what to do? Let`s do it the way the Japanese do. Use “Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu” for “Good morning”, “Konniqiwa” when it`s noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon. Things differ when you are on the phone. Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one hardly ever uses “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone. It is invariably the sweet old “Hello”.

         Next time, I`ll tell something about my life in Japan.

51. What’s the best title for this passage?

    A. How to say hello

    B. How to greet close friends in Japanese

C. How to greet people in Japanese

    D. Some differences between English and Japanese

52. Japanese people greet each other by saying “_________” in the afternoon.

    A. Moshi, Moshi         B. Konniqiwa    C. Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu    D. Konbanwa

53. In the writer`s opinion, ___________.

    A. Japanese culture is similar to American culture

    B. Jpanese people don`t like using “Konniqiwa” as a greeting for the whole day

    C. people don`t need to be polite to their close friends

    D. Japanese people are very friendly to each other

54. What does the underlined word “invariably” in the last paragraph mean?

    A. probably         B. always                        C. sometimes       D. likely

Nick Campbell sat at the side of the road and wondered what to do next. He looked at the second-hand Harley Davidson he’d bought from a back-street garage back home in Miami at the beginning of his trip six weeks before.
For years he had dreams of crossing the United States from east to west by motorbike and he’d finally decided that it was now or never. He’d given up his job, sold his car and set off for the journey of his dreams. He’d been lucky, or so he thought, to find this old Harley Davidson and had bought it for a very reasonable price------it had cost him just $600. But five kilometers from Atlanta, he had run out of luck. The motorbike had broken down.
He pushed the bike into town and found a garage. The young mechanic told him to leave the bike overnight and come back the next day. The following morning, to his surprise, the man asked if the bike was for sale. “Certainly not,” he replied, paid his bill and hit the road.
When he got to Kansas the old machine ran out of steam again. This time Nick thought about selling it and buying something more reliable, but decided to carry on. When the bike was going well, he loved it.
However, in Denver, Colorado the bike broke down again so he decided to take it to a garage and offer it for sale. The mechanic told him to come back in the morning.
The next day, to his amazement, the man offered him $2,000. Realizing the man must be soft in the head, but clearly not short of money, Nick asked for $ 3,000. The man agreed and they signed the papers. Then the mechanic started laughing. In fact it was several minutes before he could speak and when he could he said, “That’s the worst deal you’ll ever make, boy."
He removed the seat. On the underside was the inscription (銘文):
'To Elvis, love James Dean. '
56. Harley Davidson here refers to a _________.
A. car          B. truck         C. garage          D. motorbike
57. Which of the following did Nick value most?
A. Harley Davidson.   B. His job.    C. His dream to travel.   D. His car.
58. Nick was unwilling to sell his Harley Davidson because he thought it was
A. lovely        B. valuable       C. reliable         D. old
59. The underlined word ~ hi the 6th paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. clever        B. crazy          C. honest           D. kind
60. At the end of the story, Nick must have felt very __________.
A. sorry          B. delighted        C. excited         D. moved
