8、m?B：Well，the original shop was opened by a retired printer by the name of Cruby. Mr Cruby，being left-handed himself，thought of the idea of trying to promote a few products for lefthanders.A：and how did he then go about actually setting up the business?B：Well，he looked for any left-handed products th
9、at might already be on the market，which were very few and then contacted manufactures with the idea of having products produced for him，mainly in the scissor range to start with.A：Right. So you do commission some part of your stock?B：Yes，very much so. About 75% of our stock is specially made for us.
10、A：And the rest of it?B：The rest of it now，some 25，30 years after Mr Crubys initial efforts，there are more left-handed products actually on the market and manufactures are now beginning to see that there is a market for left-handed products.A：And whats the range of your stock?B：The range consists of

13、ersation TwoM：Can we make you an offer?We would like to run a campaign for four extra weeks.W：Well，can we summarize the problem from our point of view?First of all，the campaign was late，it missed two important trade fairs. The ads also did not appear in two key magazines. As a result，the campaign fa
14、iled. Do you accept that summary of what happened?M:Well，the delay wasnt entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements. W：Hm.，actually，you were late with the initial proposals so we have very little time and in fact，we only asked for small changes.
15、 M：Well，whatever，can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for four extra weeks?W：Thats not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade fairs，because of this we are asking you either to keep the campaign next year for free or we only pay fifty percent of the fee for this year. M：Could we s
16、uggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with a four weeks extension to the campaign?W：We are not happy，we lost the business.

18、assage OneThe University of Tennessees Waters Life Sciences Building is a model animal facility，spotlessly clean，careful in obtaining prior approval for experiments from Animal Care Committee. Of the 15,000-mice-house there in a typical year，most give their lives for humanity. These are good mice an
19、d as such want the protection of Animal Care Committee. At any given time，however，some mice escape and run free. These mice are pests. They can destruct environments with the bacterial organisms they carry. They are bad mice and must be captured and destroyed. Usually，this is accomplished by means o
20、f sticky traps，a kind of flight paper on which they become increasingly stuck. But the real point of this cautionary tale，says animal behaviorist Herzog，is that the labels we put on things can affect our moral responses to them. Using stick traps or the more deadly snap traps，would be deemed unaccep
21、table for good mice. Yet the killing of bad mice requires no prior approval. Once a research animal hits the floor and becomes an escapee，says Herzog，its moral standing is instantly diminished. In Herzogs own home，there was a more ironic example when his young sons pet mouse，Willy，died recently，it w
22、as accorded a tearful ceremonial burial in the garden. Yet even as they mourned Willy，says Herzog，he and his wife were setting snap traps to kill the pest mice in their kitchen. With the bare change in labels from pet to pest ，the kitchen mice obtained a totally different moral status. 26：What does
23、the passage say about most of the mice used for experiment?27：Why did the so-called bad mice have to be captured and destroyed?28：When are mice killed without prior approval?29：Why does the speaker say what the Herzogs did at home is more ironical?Passage Two There are roughly three New Yorks. There
24、 is，first，the New York of the man or woman who was born here，who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second，there is the New York of the commuter- the city that is swallowed up by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third，there is the N
25、ew York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities，the greatest is the last- the city of final destination，the city that has a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New Yorks high-strung disposition，its dedication to
26、the arts，and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness；natives give it solidity and continuity；but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum，or a young girl arriving from a small town in
27、Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbours，or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart，it makes no difference：each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love，each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of
28、an adventurer，each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company.30：What does the speaker say about the natives of New York?31：What does the speaker say commuters give to New York?32：What do we learn about the settlers of New York?Passage ThreeIf you ask me television is unhealth
29、y, I said to my roomate Walter as I walked into the living room. Why are you sitting passively in front of the TV set?Your muscles are turning to fat. Your complexion is fading and your eyesight is being ruinedsh.Walter put his finger to his lips,This is an intriguing murder mystery. Really? I repli
30、ed.But you know，the brain is destroyed by TV viewing. Creativity is killed by that box and people are kept from communicating with one another. From my point of view，TV is the cause of declining interest in school and the failure of our entire educational system. en huh，I kind of see your point， Wal
31、ter said softly. But see，the woman on the witness stand in this story is being questioned about the murder that was committed 100 years ago. Ignoring his enthusiastic description of the plot，I went on with my argument.As I see it， I explained,not only are most TV programmes badly written and produce
32、d，but viewers are also manipulated by the mass media. As far as Im concerned，TV watchers are cut off from reality,from nature，from other people，from life itself! I was confident in my ability to persuade，after a short silence，my roomate said,Anyway Ive been planning to watch the football game. Im going to change the channel.Dont touch that dial! I shouted.I want to find out how the mystery turns out! Im not sure I got my point cross.Questions 33-35 are based on the pa
