Passage One
    

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
    

After a long journey from Quebec,Canada in l896,1 was finally in a small office in Kingston,JamaicaBehind a long table piled with books and papers sat an old manMrCampbell,my new employer and the owner of The Lantern. He stared at me so long,and with such an expression of amazememthat I became uneasy and embarrassedAnd then at last a single sentence came from his lips, “My God!” It seems that he had expected a woman of the then approved type of bluestocking(女知識(shí)分子)and now a baby had been dropped into his lap!
    

I sat alone with that old man who stared at me as if l were some person of a strange natureAfter he had almost stared me down,he began to ask me questlons.
    

“How old are you?”
    

    “SeventeenI mean—I’m going on eighteen”Eighteen was,in fact,eleven months off
    

‘‘Have you ever worked before?’’
    

“I’ ve written things’’
    

    After a silent moment,during which he glared at me more angrily than ever, he demanded
    

“What have you written?”
    

“Potetry, ” I said, and stopped because he said again in that lost voice,‘‘My God!”
    

“What else?”
    

“I had a story published in The Star,” I said. “I’ve got it here, if you’d like to see it.”
    

    He made a motion of definite disagreement
    

    “I taught myself shorthand,’’I said,‘‘a(chǎn)nd I can take dictation as fast as you can talk
    

“Not a bad idea.” And then he added,“What do you think you are going to do here?”
    

“Write for your paper,”I said
    

    “What?”he inquired curiously
    

    “Why-anything-poetry-”
    

He waved his hand in such a dismissing manner that I got up, though it was my poetry, not I, he wished to be rid of just then. I went neaner to him and said, “I know you don’t want me an I don’t want to stay. I am dory I came.”
    

“What about the money I paid for you to came here?”he shouted. “I’m going to lose that?”
    

21MrCampbell had expected_____

23MrCampbell showed some interest in the girl’s ability to_____

Apleased with his new employee                    Bamazed by the girl’S literary talent
    

Cdissatisfied with the girl’S experience       Dangry with the rude manner of the girl
    

Passage Two
    

Questions 26 t030 are based on the following passage
    

A gesture which means one thing in one country may well mean something quite different to those living in anotherThe ring gesture,where you form an “O” by holding me tip of your forefinger to the tip of your thumb,means in Britain that you think something is goodTake a trip to France,and you may fail to impress your French host when you use it to tell him your opinion of his new car for in France it means zero or worthlessTravel further south and you are in even    greater trouble,for in Tunisia it means “I’ll kill you!” Similar problems occur on the other side of the AtlanticAlthough in the US the ring gesture has the same meaning as in Britainit is used as an insult in Latin AmericaUnfortunately former US President Richard Nixon was unaware of thisLanding on a visit to one South American country he came out of the aircraft with both hands held high showing the ring gestureHaving just been told to go to hell by their visitor,his    hosts gave the puzzled President a somewhat frosty receptionHad he used the same gesture in Japan,his hosts would have been puzzled,for it means money there
    

Try to avoid these misunderstandings by using another gesture to indicate that you think something is good and you may still find yourself in troubleIn Britain and the US the thumbs—up sign is used when you think something is good, but elsewhere,as in Sardiniait is an insultIn Britain the gesture is also used for hitch—hikingBut if you attempt using it to request a lift from a passing motorist in Greece or Italy,you had better stand well back from the edge of the roadIt is quite likely that he will knock you downfor in Greece it is an insult
    

    Pulling down the lower lid of your eye with one finger is usually used to indicate alertnessIn France and Greece it means much the same as“My eye!” in England,meaning “Don’t you think I can see it?”In Spain and Italy it is also related to being alert,but there it is used as a warning“Keep your eyes open"In South America,it means you think that a woman is “eyeful,”very attractive
    

26The passage mainly discusses_____
    

Athe benefits of using gestures                 Bhow gestures came into being    
    

Cthe problems in using gestures      Dhow to avoid using gestures
    

27If an Englishman uses the ring gesturehe will be correctly understood in_____.
    

AFrance       BTunisia       Cthe US           DJapan
    

28Richard Nixon used the ring gesture in the South American country as a sign of_____

29You can ask for a lift by using the thumbs-up sign in_____.
