故事中的年轻人说他不希望在一个女人负责的学校里教书。

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe. What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college？ A．His family could not afford it. B．A college education was rather uncommon in his times. C．He didn't like the young Virginian gentlemen who went to college. D．The author doesn't give any reason.

One day, he received an invitation to join at the ruler's palace. Very pleased, he went to tell his colleagues. They laughed and told him the meaning of the invitation. They had all been invited and each person who was invited had to bring with him a certain number of silver' and gold coins. The number of coins varied according to the person's position in the service of the government. My friend's income was not high, so he did not have to pay much. Each person bowed before the ruler. His gold went onto one heap; his silver went onto another heap. And in this way he paid his income tax for the year. This was the simple way of collecting income tax. The tax on property was also collected simply. The ruler gave a man the power to collect a tax from each owner of land or property in a certain area, if this man promised to pay the ruler a certain amount of money. Of course, the tax collector managed to collect more money than he paid to the ruler. The difference between the sum of money he collected and the sum of money he gave to the ruler was his profit. What do we know about the speaker's friend？ A．He was once a friend of the ruler. B．He was a tax collector. C．He was a government official. D．He was once a school teacher in India.

The young man asked, "How, Mr. Addison, can you invent so many things and achieve your fame？" The scientist said, "It seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day."

Addison told him, "Don't worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!" "Why should I？" the young man was puzzled.

People will remember you because of your illness and laziness. They will often speak of your name while they give warnings to their children. Aren't you a notorious person by then？" What happened to Addison when he was on his way home？ A．A beggar stopped him B．A robber stopped him C．A man wanted to speak to him D．A man wanted to have words with him

Pidgin English, though sometimes regarded as" baby talk", is a useful language spoken in a large part of Pacific islands. About 30 to 50 million people speak some form. of it. Pidgin English we know today was born on the Chinese coast 300 years ago when the Western nations first began to trade there. The Western merchants and the Chinese communicated with each other by using Westerner's words and Chinese sentence patterns. The result became known as "business" language, or because the closest Chinese could come to pronounce business as "bishin" or later "bijin"--at last "pidgin".
