9、or bad service is never easy. Most people dislike making a fuss.

10、lty article or put right poor service, because he is the person with whom you have entered into an agreement. The manufacturer may have a part to play but that comes later.

11、 you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain directly. In a chain store ask to see the manager.

12、omplaint later. Even the bravest person finds it difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain, so if you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give
13、receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not satisfied with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive. If your complaint is a just one
14、, the shopkeeper may offer to replace or repair the faulty article. You may find this an attractive solution.

Its common
21、 knowledge that women talk more than men. Most men think their girlfriends conversations are like following a ball of string through a labyrinth of point less assumption, needless imaginative leaps and obscure thoughtful observation before eventually finding that it leads back to the starting point.
22、 2. Quite often this is the case. But we have reason behind our chatter and if youd only join in occasionally youd understand why we do it. Your version of discussion is like scoffing a hamburger: its fast, efficient and gets the job done. We prefer to see conversing as a good meal focusing on every
23、 mouthful. 3. So when you say: “Amanda and Steve are splitting up,“ you think that is enough. Youve conveyed information quickly and now youre ready to do something else. You have blindly ignored the endless potential of a richly satisfying subject. A womans version of the news would involve a discu
24、ssion of why they split up, whether anyone could have predicted it was about to happen, who was actually at fault, whether Amanda will sell the flat, whether Steve will carry on working in the same office, and who Amanda might eventually have children with. It isnt enough to merely use words as a wa
25、y of conveying facts. For us, it isnt over until our throats wear out because only through talking do we reach understanding. 4. Only last night I was in the bath, chatting to my boyfriend. We were discussing the summer ahead. Could we afford a holiday? If so, where would we go? Should I get some br
26、ochures? Did we want a villa or a hotel? Should it be July or August? To me, these were issues of interest and importance. We couldnt possibly know what we wanted if we hadnt agreed first, I outlined these concerns at length, only for him to reply: “Theres no point in discussing it till we know if w
27、e can afford it.“ Brief. Factual. But completely depressing. Its a trait common to most men, though. When I speak to my dad on the phone, I ask whats been happening he says: “Oh. nothing special.“ Then my Mum comes on and says: “Youll never guess what happened last night. Well, John and Sheila came
28、for dinner, and honestly, his ex-wife, well.“ 5. To you, its something of little importance, but to us its a vital insight into the nature of existence. And although yon do your best to avoid taking part, you cant run for ever, because women are useful for many pleasant things, not just conversation
29、. So unless you make the effort to join in occasionally, you may find that one day those pleasant things suddenly and unexpectedly disappear. And in their place will be silence you foolishly thought you wanted. 23 A.Attitudes towards taking B.The helpful way of talking C.The reason of womens chatter
30、ing D.Women talk more than men E.The pleasure from the talking F.The examples happened among my parents, my boy friends and me 23 Paragraph 2 _. 24 Paragraph 3 _. 25 Paragraph 4 _. 26 Paragraph 5 _. 27 A.different attitudes B.when talking the same thing C.helpful matter D.nothing special E.conveying

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, it is hard to sl
33、ow down and unwind. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life. There is no way to avoid it, since it takes many and varied forms driving in traffic, problems with personal relationships are all different forms of stress. Stress, in fact, is no
34、t the “baddy“ as it is often reputed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. it is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to level performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the in
35、dividual. Some people thrive on stress, and such characters are obviously prime materials for managerial (管 理的 ) responsibilities. Others crumple at the sight of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we invoke the “fight“ mec
36、hanism which in more primitive days made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however minimal the stress, it involves the same response. All the energy is diverted to cope with the stress, with the result that other functions, such as dige
37、stion, are neglected. It is when such reaction is prolonged, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease (冠心病 ) all have established links with stress. The way stress affects a per son also varies with t
38、he individual. Stress in some people produces stomach disorders, while others succumb to tension headaches. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to cope with it. 31 The reason that many people find it hard to relax these days is that _. （ A） they are working harder than
39、 they used to be （ B） they are often too busy to find the time （ C） they are suffering from the effects of stress （ D） they are not clear of how to relax by themselves 32 We learn from the passage that _. （ A） how much stress one can bear depends greatly on whether he knows the art （ B） people in pr
40、imitive days survived from stress because they found certain mechanism to cope with it （ C） if one gets into the habit of relaxing every day he can overcome stress easily （ D） stress can lead to serious health problems if one is exposed to it for too long 33 The sentence “Stress, in fact, is not the
41、 baddy as it is often reputed to be“ (Para. 2) suggests that _. （ A） stress used to have a bad reputation of causing ill health （ B） we should not take it for granted that stress is unavoidable （ C） stress is not so terrible as people often believe it to be （ D） people do not think stress is as harm
42、ful as it was before 34 The pronoun “it“ at the end of the passage refers back to _. （ A） ill health （ B） reaction （ C） exposure （ D） stress 35 What is the writers attitude to stress according to the passage? （ A） Stress as well as relaxation are essential for a healthy mind and body. （ B） Stress pr
43、oduces both positive and negative effects to people. （ C） Stress should not be eliminated completely from the life. （ D） People usually work better under stress if they are healthy. 36 Changing in English Language When one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life span of the Engli
44、sh language, he should be able to notice a number of significant truths. The history of our language has always been a history of constant change at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Our language has always been a living growing orga
45、nism; it has never been static. Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class or group but of many. At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their
46、living, much as they have used their animals or the kitchen pots and pans. At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument and a sign of civilization, and who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, and if possible,
47、a little beauty. As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different devices for showing the relationship of words in
48、a sentence. Anglo-Saxon (old English) was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word order and function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understan
49、d, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. And when some word inflections come into conflict with word order, there may be trouble for the users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO or WHOM and ME or I. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward lan
