She was the kindest and cleverest of all fairies. However, she was also a very ugly fairy. And no matter how friendly she was to others, it seemed that everyone always believed that the most important thing about a fairy was her beauty. In the fairy country, she was always laughed at. Every time she flew off to help a child or anyone else in trouble, before she could say a word they were already shouting: “Ugly! Get out of here!Although she was little, her magic was very powerful because she studied very hard in the fairy school. And more than once she had considered using her magic to make herself beautiful. But then she remembered what her mother had always told her: “My dear, you are what you are, so just be yourself. Remember, you are this way for a very special reason.Then, one day, the witches of the neighboring land invaded the country, putting all the fairies in prison. The ugly fairy was helped by her ugly face, since the witches believed all fairies were beautiful. So no witches thought she was a fairy. That way she was able to follow the witches back to their home. Once there she used her magic to prepare a big party for everyone. The witches got really excited. They sang and drank. While the party was in full swing, the fairy hurried off and set free all the fairies. Then they worked together and succeeded in locking the witches inside the mountain for the next hundred years and more, everyone remembered the great bravery and intelligence of the fairy. From that day on, no one in that land ever saw ugliness as a bad thing, and whenever someone ugly was born, people were filled with joy, knowing that for that new person great things waited ahead.26.

Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund (退款). Once youve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car, you must stop using the vehicle.If the rejection is not accepted, then its up to you to prove your case. Youll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.If the car is new, its likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.31. After the above writing, you will be better at _.A. choosing a carB. dealing with car sellersC. making a claimD. suing for damages32.

Its a funny feeling, isnt it? I never rode in one before.College is the biggest, most puzzling place I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when Im feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes dont begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldnt you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and its a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. . You are rich. . You hate girls.I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you wont stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you wont mind. Its just a private pet name we wont tell Mrs. Lippett.The ten oclock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.Observe how precisely I obey rules due to my training in the John Grier Home.Yours most respectfully,Jerusha AbbottTo Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith36. Jerusha felt “confused because _.A. she had never written to the trustee beforeB. she was not familiar with the college yetC. she could never find the way to her homeD. she had never traveled on a train before37. Jerusha thought that she couldnt be very respectful to “John Smith because _.A. he was a total stranger to herB. she was sure it was a false identityC. the name was too commonD. nobody would like to be called that time38. According to Jerusha, being rich may be _.A. tentativeB. unimaginableC. traditional D. rude39. The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells makes Jerusha feel _.A. busyB. restricted by rulesC. pressed for timeD. full of energy40. Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs _. A. in order to show her respect for himB. because it was one of his inner qualityC. in order to make them feel closer to each other D. because she had always wanted a fatherDA little girl in my family got a typewriter for Christmas. Not a laptop. Nothing with a screen. The old-fashioned manual kind.Typewriters had pretty much gone the way of dodo birds quite some years before my granddaughter was born. But it was the typewriter used by a journalist in the movie “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl that attracted her.Or maybe it was the way the typewriter was used. In the movie, Kit does old-fashioned journalism and writes stories that help right a wrong. In a challenging environment she keeps her wits and a strong sense of ethics (道德) about her.However, another reporter, Chuck Tatum in “Ace in the Hole is totally different. He tells an editor, “If theres no news, Ill go out and bite a dog. Later, referring to a sign in the newsroom that reads “Tell the Truth, Tatum acknowledges some guilt. But, “Not enough to stop me on my way to the top.In both movies, the journalists use typewriters. Its what they do with them that makes the difference. And today, its what we do with our hardware the journalism we produce that makes the difference.Typewriters have long since given way to laptops, camera phones and video phones. But here at Thomson Reuters (路透社), and in the media as a whole, the need for a strong sense of ethics has never been more necessary.To me, at the heart of ethics are the preservation (保持) of honesty, independence and freedom from prejudice. It means ethics and standards are compatible with innovation (革新). In fact, they have to go hand in hand. Theres a lot of room for innovation here, but theres no room for a Chuck Tatum, who
