He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Toms workmates came in and sat with Tom. “What time is your bus?” asked Mike. “Theres plenty of time yet,” answered Tom. “Well, Ill get you some more tea then,” said Mike.

The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many as 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time. Treating disease by taking baths has been popular for centuries. Modern medical baths first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700s bathing had also become popular in the United States. For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for ones health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells! By the 1700s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common. In the United Sates ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th century, Many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bath every thirty days! That was a law! Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least.

Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write.When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information.Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly.Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed.Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role.Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally ,add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.46. The first sentence of the passage means that . A. you may have to fill in a long application form B. the filling-in of an application form takes much time C. any slight error in the tiring filling-in of the forms should be avoided D. application forms are usually difficult to read and require good skills to fill in47.

She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone. At six oclock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry. Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-“a master key” perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didnt go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait. It was just after four oclock when the front door bell rang.
