24、t off, can you get separated from the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!As for the ride itself, the beginning of it is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things are keeping changing out of the windows various houses, crop fields, attractive

25、 bridges, and sometimes even a small accident. Your bus driver may have a unique style of driving and its fun trying experience it the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的) as an adventurous story. Will the driver pass the truc

26、k in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much sal

27、ty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know the riding will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement with that.

28、rossed, or with your hands in your lap, or with your hands on the arms, or even with your hands crossed behind your head. That is to say that the end comes just at no more ways to sit.46.

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they

33、should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didnt stay at B&B (bed and breakfast) houses, they said, “because we fou

34、nd that most families were away on holiday. I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES meant “holidays, because the Spanish word for “holidays is “vacaciones. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said

35、 “VACANCIES, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We l

36、aughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were go

37、ing to have fun. Instead, their car was soon stopped. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more. However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!

38、 Later I found out that “Thank you in French means “No, thank you.51. My Spanish friends wanted advice about _.

42、s to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to “tell a story than just “read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce his own as an improvement on the printed text, according to his childs actual situation, so much the better. There is a charge made against some

43、fairy tales, as they probably harm children by frightening them or leaving them sad feelings. To prove it, an experiment has been done to show that children who have heard terrible fairy stories often feel more uneasy than those who have not. As for fears, there are some cases where children get tim

44、id (害怕的) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition may weaken the pain of fear.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that the stories are not objectively true, and that those giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets etc. do not really exist, so children should be taught to learn the reality by studying history, instead of being got fond of the strange side in fairy tales. Those, who prefer to create such stories, are so peculiar (奇怪的) that
