　　In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. To have read Gulliver’s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man’s inhumanity (殘酷) to man. To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like to drift (漂流) down the Mississippi River on a raft (木排). To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose—thumbing at (對……的蔑視) society. To have read Native Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated (受挫折) in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated. This is effective communication (交流). It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries age. It is not true that “We have only one life to live.” If we read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

　　When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

　　“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

　　I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

　　We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

　　English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘Mo, thank you.’

　　1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.

　　A. learning English B. finding places to stay in England

　　C. driving their car on English roads D. going to England by car

　　2. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______.

　　A. they would be able to practise their English

　　B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

　　C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner

　　D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

　　3. “NO VACANCIES” in English means ______.

　　A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. holidays

　　4. If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.

　　A. fall into a hole

　　B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

　　C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

　　D. have to take a different road

　　5. When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French, I ______.

　　A didn’t really want any more coffee B. wanted them to take the coffee pot away

　　C. really wanted some more coffee D. wanted to express my politeness

　　6. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ______.

　　A. hadn’t finished drinking my coffee B. was expecting another cup of coffee

　　C. meant that I didn’t want any more D. was never misunderstood

Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “we’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.” “They’re the last people I’d trust,” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused to go.”

　　“I would almost rather see you dead,” Robert S. Cassatt, a leading banker (銀行家) of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family ranked among (躋身于) the best of Philadelphia’s social (社交界的) families, such an idea could not even be considered.

　　That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father’s anger. Instead, she opposed (抗拒) him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position (社會地位) and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady.

　　C. She had no social position. D. She did not come from an artist’s family.

　　4. What do we know about Mary Cassatt’s marriage (婚姻)?

　　A. Her marriage failed because she never gave a thought to her husband and family.

　　B. She never married because she did not want to be just a wife and mother.

　　C. After marriage she decide to give up her husband rather than her career(事業(yè)).
