Rosamund Beattie (6ft 4in), a member of the Tall Persons Club not a joke, they really do find life difficult says its like being famous but without the money.Im not actually that tall 6ft 1in but even I meet problems. Hotel beds are too short, train seats dont have enough leg room, and I regularly have to bend at the knees to use mirrors. Clothing can be troublesome too. “Most shirts expose my navel(肚脐) when I stretch(伸展).” Trousers are a nightmare. “Youre desperately hoping youll find a pair of trousers that go all the way down to your shoes.” Then theres the matter of relationships. How often do you see a woman with a man shorter than her? Theres exception but for most people it seems to be a no-no. Some tall women bend their shoulders in an attempt to hide their height. The habit never goes away, no matter how successful they bee.Yes, I know all this is going to sound admirable to someone of below average height. “Ill swap places with you,” theyll be saying. Fair enough. On balance Id rather be 6ft1 than 5ft5. But its still true that, as so often, a supposedly desirable oute in life is slightly less desirable than you might think. Before you look at a tall person and say you wish you were them, walk a mile in their shoes. (Notes: 1ft 0.3m; 1in 0.025m)21. According to the text, what is tall peoples life like?A. A life which is not always easy. B. A fancy but less wealthy life.C. A life of personal acplishments. D. A life suffering prejudice by short people.22. It can be learned from the text that _. A. short people may buy clothing as they like B. short people may find train seats not enjoyable C. tall men usually feel fortable sleeping in a hotelD. tall women usually prefer taller men to be their boyfriends 23. What is the authors purpose in writing this text? A. To pare the life of tall people with that of short people.B. To reveal that being tall is not always seemingly desirable. C. To convey his wish to swap places with a short person.D. To urge other people to stand in tall peoples shoes. BAn elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove and thus cause a fire. They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctors office very pleased with the advice.When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why dont you write that down so you wont forget?”“Dont be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”“Well,” said the wife, “Id also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know youll forget.”“e on, my memorys not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs.

I was laughed at because of my last name as soon as I started school. So when my family moved to South Carolina, I asked my dad if I could change my name. “You shouldnt change who you are. Let people get to know you first and your name later. When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something youre really interested in. Once people start talking about themselves, they dont judge you.” Two days later I headed to my new school for the first day of class. At lunch, I noticed that there were twin brothers who were talking to each other. I remembered my dads advice, so I decided to try. I noticed that their lunchboxes were identical. “Whats it like being a twin?” I asked. They looked surprised. Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that!” “Most of the time its good,” the other said. “When youre a twin you always have someone to talk to and have lunch with.” In no time we were laughing and talking. Then one of the brothers said, “Im Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel. Whats your name?” I took a deep breath and said, “Im Chelsea Chowderhead.” “Chowder? Like the soup?” asked Nathaniel. “Yes,” I replied, looking down. “Hey, cool! Do you want to e over after school and play basketball with us?” Nathaniel asked. I nodded. And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers.32. Why did the writer want to change his name?A. People made fun of it. B. He wanted to make more friends.C. It was hard to remember. D.
