After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old 1ady’s handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad（叠）of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her.

Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there at first, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.

Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”

“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”

So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”

“How many people will you invite?” Mr. Harris asked, “Don’t invite too many.”

Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.”

“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30. Maybe it is impolite.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”

A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained(抱怨).”

Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.

English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. New words come into use, or old words are used in a new way.

English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and “tea” came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. Sometimes new words are formed by putting two words together. “countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old words. The word “photo” was made from “ photograph”. The names of people and products （产品） can become new words, too. The word “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich and “sello” （透明胶带） was a name given by the company that first made the product .

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

 

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
    But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.   36  Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.  37
    If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct（本能）is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.   38  If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
     39  Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strong about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.   40  At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended（冒犯）.
    It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

A. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

C. Everyone was new to the network once.

D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
