25th February 高考资源网 Sir,

Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ?remarkable‘ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare‘s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.

Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.

You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds , and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.

I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.

Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

Yours faithfully, SIMON WALKER 26. Simon Walker wrote the letter to ________ A. show his anger to Cosmo Books Ltd.. B. complain about getting books he didn‘t want.

C. advise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd..

I can‘t remember a winter being as cold as this in Pennsylvania, but I‘m sure

D. humor

there were colder days.

Even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute, it‘s easy to find an excuse not to go out

unless you absolutely must, but then again I often have to push myself to accomplish things.

People I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods. They say they‘re ―under the weather,‖ not feeling

good about this time of year.

As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday, it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen and my ears

were stinging.

Of course, that doesn‘t matter to Ricky and Lucy. They have a routine they must go through to find just the

fighting spot no matter how cold or hot it is.

So I wait.

But this time it was different. As cold as it was, I suddenly was excited thinking about how wonderful this

extreme cold really was.

Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summer‘s extremely hot days flashed through my

mind. I could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon, with sweat pouring down my brow and the hot, burning sun against my face. I reminded myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat.

I was grateful for the extremes. Without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days when

things were just right. Without the extremes, life would be boring.

It‘s being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more. Health challenges remind

us that we need to pay more attention to how we live. Financial extremes remind us that when things go smoothly it‘s also time to save for raining days.

I‘ve come to the conclusion that all too often I find a reason not to be happy with where I am at that moment. Whether it‘s hot or cold, good health or bad, in the money or out of it, I always

want it to be different.

I‘m tired of being ―Under the Weather!‖

31. What is the author‘s attitude towards the extremes in life?

A. Grateful. C. Negative.

B. Critical. D. Unconcerned.

32. That day the writer waited in the terrible cold because ______.

A. his dogs wanted to hunt

B. he wanted to face the cold bravely C. his dogs had a routine D. he wanted to be different

33. The underlined word ―nasty‖ (Paragraph 4) can be replaced by ______.

A. unpleasant C. favorable

B. violent D. unusual

34. At last the author drew a conclusion that ______.

A. happiness cannot be gained by complaints B. things will be different whatever the situation is
