      It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. "I'll send Mum some roses (玫瑰). "
      While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. "How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?" he asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).
      "No, I have to have red roses. " He said, "My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite. "
      After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, "Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you. "Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.
      As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses," Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you ? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her. "

       Mobile homes, pulled by specially designed (設(shè)計) trucks have been increasing in numbers all over the United States. Often, driving along, you can see some mobile homes high on a hill. Some stand under trees along a river or a lake. They're wonderfully built homes. Sometimes they're as much as 40 feet long, with two to five rooms, and you can find many things you need in them. When you park your mobile home, water, electricity power and telephones are connected, and you can enjoy yourself there.
      The fact that these homes can be moved doesn't mean that they do move all the time. Sometimes their owners stay for years in one place, plant gardens, build walls and so on. These homes are often quite expensive. Some even cost $ 20,000.
      Why does a family choose to live in such a home? Well, it's comfortable, easy to keep clean, easy to keep warm, no need to paint. What's more, the fast increase of mobile homes in numbers has something to do with the job uncertainty (不穩(wěn)定性). Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. If a factory closes down, you may be trapped with the house you can't sell. However, if you have a mobile home, you can move on easily.
      The greatest selling attraction of these mobile homes is that they can be improved every year. If you're doing well, you may change a new model just as you do with a car. There is a ready market for used ones, so the price of the mobile homes is higher than that of automobiles (汽車).
56. From the passage, we know that mobile homes_______.
     A. can be built better than our homes B. need to move all the time
C. can provide something people need D. must stand only high on a hill
57. _______is one of the reasons for people to choose mobile homes.
    A. The job uncertainty            B. The strange design
    C. The low price                  D. The high speed
58. Which of the following may NOT attract people to buy mobile homes?
    A. The new model appears every year.  B. Walls can be easily built around them.
    C. They don't need to be painted.      D. They can be moved here and there.
59. We can infer that the increase of the mobile homes shows_______.
    A. great changes in people's living style (方式)
    B. great interest in developing new things
    C. some problems in people's life
    D. people's hope for new jobs
60. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A. How to Choose a Mobile Home B. The Developing Mobile Homes
    C. The Uses of Mobile Homes    D. Mobile Homes Are Popular in the US

     The British are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research(調(diào)查) shows that the British are only about average (平均數(shù)) at waiting politely in a queue. The French are the best. It's the Germans who don't have a good habit (習(xí)慣) of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.
     The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line-to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.
     The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said," I' m terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do go before me. " People smiled and said. "Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much. "It was also found in France, where 80％ of the people didn't mind standing in line. only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, "If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster. "
61. The research shows that the people in _______ are the most polite in standing in line.
    A. Sweden        B. Britain       C. France       D. Germany
62. The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they _______.
    A. always talk a lot with others      B. like waiting in line
    C. don't follow the rule of queuing  D. don't know the rule of queuing
63. According to the research, which of the following is TRUE ?
    A. The British didn't care about the queue jumper.
    B. The Germans were angry with the queue jumper.
    C. The French treated the queue jumper badly.
    D. The Swedish enjoyed themselves while queuing.
64. From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could_______.
    A. have a good habit of standing in line    B. save others' time while queuing
    C. move quickly when queuing          D. take exercise in queues
65. The result of the research shows that_______.
    A. people in Europe hate waiting in line
    B. standing in line is a kind of exercise
    C. there are always queue jumpers all over the world
    D. people good at standing in line think they move along faster
