"It will be quite simple and we shant make any fuss. I think an afternoon in fife open air will do us good, dont you Would you like to come with us " I had already made an appointment with the hairdresser but I weakly agreed to cancel it. Mrs. Brown smiled graciously. "I shall be making some cakes this afternoon," she explained, "so I shant have any free time. I wonder whether you would mind doing some shopping for me during your lunch hour, that is, if you can fit it in." She handed me a typewritten list made up of twenty-four separate items, from shrimps to sugared almonds, including an order for a chicken, four sliced loaves, a half-litre of fresh cream and some Camembert, all to be delivered at the house before five o clock. That still left me with plenty to carry myself, and it seemed that if only I could manage to stagger home with my load, there would be no danger of starving the next afternoon. That evening a violent thunderstorm broke. Rain poured down; the sky was split by terrifying flashes of forked lightning while peals of thunder drowned conversation. But Mrs. Brown was not upset. "It will have cleared up before morning," she prophesied. "When this storm has passed we It have ideal weather, you 11 see. The B. B. C. weather forecast has promised sunshine, and they don t often make mistakes." She was right. The following morning was glorious. Early in the morning I could hear her moving about in the kitchen. Breakfast was late and consisted of corn flakes and toast. "I must apologize for neglecting you," said Mrs. Brown. "So much to do ! You wont mind making your bed this morning, will you7 Im so busy. Im afraid we shall have to make do with cold meat and potatoes for lunch." The whole morning seemed to be spent in loading the car with a variety of bags, baskets and mysterious parcels. After a lunch of cold mutton, boiled potatoes, and limp damp lettuce, we took our rain jackets and umbrellas and fitted ourselves into the car. I was in the back seat, squeezed uncomfortably in the midst of a mountain of equipment. We crawled for the next two hours along a main road where a line of traffic was wedged so tightly together that it was almost stationary. Mr. Brown was in charge of the steering wheel but Mrs. Brown controlled the driving. At last we turned down a narrow lane and started looking for a suitable place for tea. Each one that we saw had its drawbacks: too sunny, too shady, too exposed, too sheltered. "If we were to picnic there, we should be too hot, cold, conspicuous, shut in," declared Mrs. Brown as she inspected each in turn. At last she decided that a certain meadown ( in reality no different from ally other meadow we had examined) would do. Mr. Brown opened the gate and drove the car inside. We started to unload. I had never in my life realized that so much stuff could be required for a simple picnic. A folding table was produced together with a clean glossy tablecloth, folding chairs (with cushions), enough crockery and cutlery for a banquet and more than enough food for six courses, paper napkins, a transistor radio, half a dozen illustrated magazines and even soap, a towel, water and a bowl for washing our hands after the meal. I half expected a crimson carpet, possibly footstools for our feet, with red candles as tasteful table decorations. I did discover a tin of fly killer, a bottle of ammonia for the treatment of stings and even some indigestion tablets. For a whole hour we made our preparations and at last everything that we needed was ready. As we were enjoying our first mouthful of thermosflask soup, a stout man opened the gate and came towards us. "Sorry to make a nuisance of myself, but in five minutes we shall have finished milking the cows," he announced. "Theyll be coming back here directly after." Mrs. Brown gazed at him speechless for a moment. At last she found words. "But you can see weve only just started eating," she protested indignantly. "surely you can delay sending them in for an hour or so " "Sorry maam, weve other jobs to do. Well give you time to clear up: that s the most that we can allow. Say twenty minutes. You know youre trespassing, of course " Mrs. Brown seemed to collapse in her chair. I wished I were fifty miles off. Mr. Brown was the only one that accepted the situation philosophically. "It seems to be high time we departed," was his only comment. Half an hour after we moved off as the cows were wandering down the lane and as the first drops of rain were falling. We joined the traffic jam in the main road. Three hours later we unpacked again and had our picnic in Mrs. Browns dining-room-with a carpet underfoot but still no candles. We were strangely silent but our deep sense of grievance did not in any way prevent us from eating a great deal.Mr. Brown was happyAYBNCNG 3.When Roberto Feliz came to the USA from the Dominican Republic, he knew only a few words of English.

The twoparty system of Britain was formed in the course of the development of the capitalist state and the political parties. In order to strengthen the state machine, the British bourgeoisie have let it come into being and exist in one form or another form since the 17 th century. P. S. Tregidgo once said: "The more parties there are, the less likely it is that any one of them will be strong enough in Parliament to outvote all the others; but when there are only two, one of them is sure to have a majority of seats. This helps to ensure a strong and stable government. "This may be the reason why the British have the two-party system. The division into two parties grew out the establishment of a Protestant Church of England in the 16 th century. Because of a purely religious difference of opinion, the Puritans were separated from the broad body of the Anglican Church. The non-Puritan Anglicans were on the side of the King and Church, and their supporters were called by their opponents "Tories. "The Puritans were for Parliament and trade, and their supporters were called by the "Tories" "Whigs". The Tories and the Whigs were in power by turns for a long time. In 1833, the Tory party split into two and its name was changed to Conservative. In the 1860s the Whigs became Liberals. From that time on, the Liberals and the Conservatives were in office by turns until 1922. The policies they put into effect were sometimes different, but they were both controlled by the rich. The working class became more and more unwilling to follow the Conservatives and the Liberals. They wanted to have their own party. So the Labor party was formed by the trade unions. After 1922 the Labor Party gradually replaced the Liberal Party to become one of the two major parties in Great Britain.According to the passage, why was the Labor Party established in BritainABecause the trade unions did not do much good for the working people.BBecause the Liberal Party were not strong enough to defeat the Conservative Party.CBecause the working people would not like to be members outside the Liberal Party.DBecause neither of the two major parties was the parties for the working people. 5.When Roberto Feliz came to the USA from the Dominican Republic, he knew only a few words of English.
