5、r or to parties at other peoples houses.Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “Weve been to a lot of other peoples houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustnt we?”“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, wont it? Then we can start to invite people
6、to dinner in small numbers next month.”So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, Ill invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Dont invite too many.”Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:
7、30 to 8:30 p.m.”“That isnt very nice, is it?” he said. “Youre telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30.

10、ucumber（海参）. All living creatures, especially human beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual.What else can be said about an odd animal that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating f
11、or long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets（美食家）？For some fifty million years, despite all eccentricities, the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under rocks in shallow water, or o
12、n the surface of mud flats. Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to such up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present.Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish-brown to sand-color and nearly white. One form even has v
13、ivid purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are cucumber-shaped hence their name and because they are typically rock inhabitants, this shape, combined with flexibility, enables them to squeeze into narrow cracks where they are safe from predators and ocean currents.Although they have voracious appe
14、tites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the capacity to become inactive and live at a low metabolic rate （ceding sparingly or not at all for long periods, so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply. If it were not for this faculty, they would devour all th
15、e food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence.But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its major enemies are fish and crabs, when attacked, it squirts all its internal organs into the water. It also casts off attache
16、d structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber will eviscerate（ 排出内脏） and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted. The passage is mainly about _.A. the reason for the sea cucumber
17、 s nameB. ways to identify the sea cucumberC. places where the sea cucumber can be foundD. the peculiarities that make the sea cucumber unusual10. Now she ( ) to do whatever she can for him.A.

It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a superficial trav
30、eller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction （收缩） of village commerce, but its vigo
31、r is still remarkable.Our local grocers shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing （排队） up at a supermarket.
