試題分析：文章介紹了Webster Toys這種產(chǎn)品并廣告招聘銷售人員的，廣告中提到應(yīng)聘者的要求，工作地點(diǎn)和聯(lián)系的方式等信息。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章開篇就介紹了Webster Toys：“You have heard of Webster Toys.Websters have made good，safe and interesting toys for more than a hundred years.Now we sell them，and children play with them...”，由此可見Webster Toys 是由Websters (韋伯斯特人)制造的一種質(zhì)優(yōu)、安全、有趣的玩具并有著一百多年的歷史。選A
小題2:這是一道推理題。看完全文后，應(yīng)明確這篇短文實(shí)則是一則招聘廣告。廣告登 載在報(bào)紙或雜志上。而在報(bào)紙上刊登廣告的出現(xiàn)頻率肯定比雜志上高。 選D
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文中明確說明了寫這則廣告的目的：“We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East.”并對(duì)應(yīng)征者提了一些條件，比如“He (or she) will between the age of thirty and forty...”，可見對(duì)于性別未作要求。選D
小題4:詞義推測(cè)題。該詞匯出現(xiàn)在第三段的首句：“Websters want someone who can stand on his own feet.”其中“stand on one’s own feet”本意表：“靠自己的腳站立或站得住腳”，結(jié)合第二段提出的對(duì)應(yīng)征者能力的要求，應(yīng)確定該詞在本文指能獨(dú)立處理一切商務(wù)的人。 選C
小題5:寫作意圖題：從第一段的句子：We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East.可知文章是廣告一些工作職位，選A

·The Hotel Portixol，a hotel that oozes(滲透) style and has thoughtful extras in Palma Majorca.
·Location
In the bay of Portixol，a 30-minute walk or 10-minute cycle east of the old town，overlooking Portixol port.
·Character
The square white building，with its blue shutters(百葉窗) and dark wooden balconies，stands out as you approach Portixol. Inside as well as out，Hotel Portixol oozes style － wicker(柳條) sofas in a shade deck. Thoughtful extras include free bicycle hire and telescopes in each room.
·Rooms
Thirteen of the 26 rooms have balconies，overlooking the sea. All have large showers and king-size beds. Our corner room had double glass doors on two sides which created a much-needed breeze.
·Food
Breakfast is a feast，with a huge selection of fresh fruit，yogurts，cereals，meats，cheeses and breads. The lunch and dinner menus mix traditional Mediterranean food with eastern and European classics.
·Why Palma?
Parts of Majorca have a certain reputation，but calm，sweet Palma is a far shout from the island's busy and sometimes tacky(俗氣的) beach resorts so popular with hen and buck parties.
The Majorcan capital is also one of the easiest short-break destinations in Europe. The old town is a 10-minute taxi ride from Palma airport，while the tangled(亂蓬蓬的)streets inside the old city wall combine the best restaurants，shopping and culture Majorca has to offer.
While very hot in summer，temperatures remain pleasant during the rest of the year.

A Child’s History of the World
Our Price: $28.00
Item #: 010821
ISBN: 978-8-8828-7028-7
Grades: 4—Adult
Product Description
V. M. Hillyer, the first headmaster of Calvert School, spent many of his school years studying only American history. Believing that studying world history would broaden children’s horizons and give them a better understanding of the world and history in general, he set out to write an understandable and comprehensive world history children could enjoy. A Child’s History of the World functions to familiarize young children with some historical events and people of significance while reading like a good story. The subjects are covered in chronological order, from the beginning of the world through the end of the Cold War. This gives the child a linear view of world history that allows the details to be filled in later. A Child’s History of the World is a basic reader and is not intended to be used as a supplementary reader.
Customer Reviews
This is a must-have book. It is a complete and engaging curriculum that is easy to use and understand. My girls are so close in age I was able to use it with all three at once and they loved it. And it’s inexpensive! Love the way it is written.
Katrena R. from Shingle Springs, CA
This is a great book. Everyone (elementary/primary aged) should have this book in their homeschooling library. My kids (ages 4-9) have all enjoyed this book. It is engaging and well written for young ones. There is a lot of information packed into this book and it is presented in a way that is not boring for kids. It is kind of like The Story of the World.
