9、ter, the wood broke down, causing one side of the tower to be a little lower than the other.

The lean of the tower is now about five degrees.The Leaning Tower of PisaThe work of

10、 building the tower began in 1173, and was finally completed in 1372. In fact, it began to lean after just a couple of floors were built. And this condition continued in the centuries after its completion. The tower was finally closed to the public in 1990 after people failed to stabilize (使穩(wěn)固) its

11、foundations. In 2001, it was reopened after engineers removed soil from underneath its raised side.

Mother hands me the grocery list and puts money in my pocket, hoping it will be enough. Shes had a hard day, and Ive had a hard week. Nothing out of the ordinary happens when I get to t

17、he store. I grab the bread, some milk, and other things on the list. As I turn to head out, I see a beautiful dress in the window. I turn away, bitter that I could never own such a dress. Outside, I cannot stop thinking about that pretty dress. Its not fair that I can never have what I want. I work

18、so hard to help my family and yet I get nothing in return, just another list to do. In my anger, I fail to realize the apples are rolling across the road. Suddenly, I see a pair of hands, offering me an apple. Looking up, I see the tanned (曬黑的) face of this stranger. His clothes are mismatched, borr

24、reatest influenceD. Save money for the futureCIn Britain, many theatres put on shows for children at Christmas and many theatres have a theatre-in-education team working there. This team, made up of actors and teachers, writes plays for children, usually performing them in schools. They do different

25、 plays for different age groups and the children often take part in the play in some way. Pantomime is a special kind of Christmas show for children. It is loved by people and also allows the audience to join in. “Pantomime” was the name of the Roman actor who performed shows without speaking this i

26、s where the English word “mime” comes from. A pantomime is always based on a well-known childrens story. But there are always certain types of characters in the show and certain situations and events. For example, a pantomime must always include a hero, known as the “principal boy” and this principa

27、l boy is always played by a pretty girl wearing a short costume. Then there is the comic older woman, known as the “dame” who is played by a man. There is always a group of men and women who sing and dance and often there is a pantomime horse. The horse is played by two men who form the “front” and

28、“back” ends inside a “horse” costume. It is funny and it usually kicks the dame when she isnt looking. Members of the audience have to shout a warning to one of the characters and argue with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them. When she shouts, “Oh no, it isnt,” the audie

29、nce always responds with “Oh yes, it is!” The audience also learns and sings a simple song and a few children are sometimes invited to help one of the characters during the show.29.

When the dame says, “Yes, it i

31、s”, the audience should _.A. follow her and singB. stand up and danceC. repeat what she saysD. disagree with her loudly D“Hello” is a relatively new greeting. It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way t

32、o greet someone. Instead, people used formal expressions like “How do you do?” Back then, there were several words that sounded like “hello,” but they were used to get someones attention or to express surprise. For example, if you caught your little brother stealing your snack, you might have said,

33、“Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there?”Everything started to change in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The first telephones didnt have numbers you could dial, nor did they have bells

34、or ringers. Instead, your telephone sent signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like “Are you there, sir?” or “What is wanted?” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach. There was just one

35、small problem: Since telephones didnt ring, how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line”? The answer is you would yell (大喊) into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you. But what would you yell? And what would the person you were calling say when they were go

36、ing to answer? Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didnt catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (綽號) “Hello Girls

37、.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.32. Why was “hello” seldom used when it first appeared?A. It was too informal. B. It was hard to pronounce. C. It was considered to be rude. D. There were other words like “hello”.33.
