There a lot of foreigners stayed for
2、 night. He didnt know any other language but English and he found it difficult for him to understand the foreign visitors. Sometimes he had to use the body language to “talk” with them, and tried his best to make himself understood. But he was often misunderstood and it brought him a lot of trouble.
3、 A friend of his who learned a few foreign languages in a university would teach him. He was happy and studied hard. At first he learned some, but soon he found it wasnt easy to remember the words and expressions. His friend advised him to write down the useful expressions in his notebook so that he
4、 could use them when necessary. He did as he was told. He found it helpful for him to do so. One evening there were plenty of people in the dining room. They were all busy eating something except a Japanese. He was walking around there and waiting for his wife who was dressing herself up upstairs. M
5、r. Jackson thought to himself, “The man wants to eat something but he doesnt know any English.

8、ntly announced that it had lost most of the 300, 000 umbrellas since it was set up.Chinas sharing economy has been growing rapidly, with companies offering anything from bicycles and basketballs to phone batteries for people to rent. Customers make a small deposit（押金）and get to use the thing for a d
9、aily cost, with a fine put in place for every day if they fail to return the product in time. Its a simple business model, and market data shows that people see sharing as a cheap and convenient way to cut down waste.Zhao Shuping founded the Sharing E Umbrella, an umbrella sharing service, in April.
10、 By the end of June, he had already started in 11 major Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. While picking up the umbrellas was relatively simple, as they were made available（可得到的）at bus and subway stations, the return system turned out to be a different matter. “Umbrellas are
11、different from bicycles, “Mr. Zhao told Chinese news site TheP. “Bikes can be parked anywhere, but with an umbrella you need something to hang it on. “So instead of bothering to return the umbrellas back to a station, a lot of people just took them home, and Sharing E Umbrella has reportedly lost tr
12、ack of most of the 300,000 umbrellas. Considering that borrowing umbrellas requires a 19 yuan deposit, with a fee of 0.50 yuan per half an hour usage, Zhao says that he suffers a loss of 60 yuan per lost umbrella, so the company is now in the red, but he is not ready to stop it just yet.

Umbrellas are not allowed to hang anywhere.C. Lots of customers didnt give the umbrellas back.D. People refuse to pay deposit for the umbrellas.6.
15、We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. Zhao has found a way to get the umbrellas backB. Zhao will continue his umbrella sharing serviceC. Most of Zhaos companies have been closedD. Sharing E Umbrella is a failure for Zhao.CHippos（河马）have always attracted peoples interest. Modern hippos in Wal
16、t Disney movies can dance lightly. A stone hippo in a 13th-century church in France has wings. And in ancient Egyptian fairy tales, the hippo was a goddess that guided the dead to the afterworld.Despite their popular appeal, hippos, as well as other animals, have difficulty when their needs conflict
17、 with those of humans. The early Egyptians liked to hunt hippos for their teeth and because they were dangerous animals. Amulets（护身符）to protect babies from demons（恶魔）were made from hippo bones.About 4,000 years ago, there were so many hippos in Egypt that they caused serious crop damage. Egyptian fa
18、rmers killed them routinely, and by the beginning of the 19th century, all the hippos in Africa had been killed.People used to see hippos fight in the arenas（角斗场）of ancient Rome. After the fall of the Roman Empire, hippos werent seen in Europe again until a few zoos began to exhibit them in the mid
19、1800s.All the various uses and abuses of hippos through the centuries have made their population fall greatly.
