Passage Two
My first semester of college was the worst I’ve been through. I had made plans during the summer to share an apartment with two of my close friends from high school. But before we moved in, problems started developing.
One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of going to college. However, a week before we were to move in, she found out that she didn't get the job. She was forced to live at home and look for work. The rest two of us lasted for a month and then agreed that we couldn’t make it with the higher monthly rent payments. I started looking around.
I found another apartment and the rent wasn’t bad. The place was noisy, but is was the best ai could afford for the time. However, one day when I returned, I was smoke coming from the back of the house. The cottage had caught fire, and my room was a burned mess. I was once more out of a place to stay.
I finally gave up looking around and moved home. I had to drive forty miles to school every day, so I almost spent as much on gas as I would have on lodging, I was very bored. I almost host the will to study. It had been really a bad semester.
29. what was the speaker’s plan before her first college semester began?
30. What was the first lodging problem the speaker encountered?
31. Why did the speaker move back home finally?
32.Why does the speaker think her first semester of college was the worst?
Passage Three
The French are at heart traditionalists. Though they dearly live revolutions, they disapprove of shifts in behavior. Everything must be done properly, an expression that applies equally to getting married and getting drunk, stuffing a duck and filming in a form, addressing an envelop and addressing a teacher. There is an established order of things, and the order was established by the French.
The desire to maintain standards is best seen on any holiday in the summer. Where the Italians, the British, and even the Germans, relax sufficiently to leave there faces unshaven, or mealtimes become irregular, or dresses become strange, the French behave as though they were still under the microscope of real life.
French men and women take two hours over their morning making up. Watch any Frenchman at a campsite in the summer and see how long he spends shaving, trimming his moustache, and on general showers.examda.com
Wives cook three-course lunches which they serve to their husbands in the stuffy heat at little tables with linen napkins and polished dishware. The white wine must stand in an ice bucket. Everything is correct--the bread, the cheese, the sauce.
Mr,eats greedily .Mrs.stands behind him, and a little to the side, nodding happily. She will do the washing-up immediately the meal is finished. All will be neat and tidy before any other activity is even considered.
33. Which people are keen on order, according to the passage?
34. What will the wife do after the meal?
35. What is the characteristic of French people’s life according to the passage?
