It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less. I once bought a Czechoslo-vakian glass butter-dish from Robinson's for a little under two dollars. I then went on to Change Al-ley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape, design and size, in one of the shops. I then asked about its price, and was surprised when the man demanded more than four dollars for it. "How much can you offer?" he shouted at me. I offered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his reply was shockingly rude (粗鲁). I opened my bag, showed him my receipt, stared at him and walked out of his shop.
A buyer in England expects to find the price of goods clearly shown, or, to be told exactly what the price is. He knows this is the lowest price that will be accepted. If he thinks the price is be- yond what he can afford, he shrugs (耸耸) his shoulders and walks away. He does not attempt to bargain with the shopkeeper. Even if he showed annoyance or surprise, he would expect to be told that if the price was unacceptable, he should try elsewhere.
The underlined word "haggling" (line 2, para. 1 ) in the text most probably means______.
A.accepting the prices immediately
B.fixing the right cost for some goods
C.arguing about the price of something
D.paying extra for comfortable shopping
根据下列材料请回答 56~60 题:
A
There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain, although prices are clearly shown on the goods. There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling; some shopkeepers expect you to and will be surprised if you accepted their prices immediately. We know that the prices in some stores are a bit higher than those in Change Alley, but we also realize that to keep a store like Robinson’s is by no means cheap. Besides, in such places we shop in air-conditioned(空调)comfort. For all these, we pay a little extra.

听力原文: The college had a very good football team, and its best player was a student who always had trouble in school. Then one year the dean of the college said that the player would have to leave because he had cheated on an exam. The football coach immediately went to the dean to try to persuade him to let the student stay in school. The dean showed him two answer papers. "This one is Susan's paper. She's the best student in the class, "he said. "And this one's your football player's. They're exactly the same. The football player sat at the next desk, and just copied from her."
"But maybe she copied from him," the coach said. "You can't prove it was the other way."
"Look at this, "the dean said." Susan didn't know the answer to this question so she wrote, 'I don't know'. And your football player wrote, ' Neither do I'."
(33)
A.Because he cheated on an exam.
B.Because he did poorly in an exam.
C.Because he had a fight with another student.
D.Because he drew a picture of the teacher on all exam.
W: Well, we had a lecture on sustainable development in forests. Dr. Millard pointed out some of the advantages and disadvantages of clear-cut logging.
M: I noticed the next chapter in our textbook is called "Sustainable Development". Chapter 6, isn't it?
W: Yes, we covered the first part of Chapter 6. He told us to read from pages 156 to 170. Also, during the last half of class we divided into groups of three for a project. The groups had to cane up with their own topic on some aspect of sustainable development. The group I'm in, with Harry and Susan, didn't focus too well, and we didn't even come up with a topic. A couple of other groups seemed quite focused. The project is due a week from Friday.
M: Was I put in a group?
W: I don't think so. There were about 4 or 5 students missing yesterday. Perhaps, if you showed up for class early on Wednesday and spoke with Dr. Millard, he could assign you a group.
M: Did you take lecture notes?
W: Yes, I did. I was just going to transcribe them and put them on my computer. Would you like me to e-mail them to you?
M: Oh, yes. Thanks very much.

听力原文: We were sorry that we had to ask the young man to leave the job. It was not that he was unpopular with the other people in the office. Everyone liked him. Nor was it that he was incapable. He had plenty of ability. The problem was that so much of his work was unsatisfactory; it wasn't good enough. Sometimes he would leave a job unfinished, and never come back to complete it. Other times his writing would be so terrible that you couldn't read it. Or he might disappear from the office for an hour or so with no explanation of where he had been. Once or twice he sat unoccupied for a while, doing nothing at all, until someone noticed him and gave him some work. I suppose he feels that we have mistreated him, that we have not been fair to him. But I don't think we have misjudged him. We didn't make up our minds until we had given him every chance to show what he could do. However, I confess that it made me uncomfortable to have to tell him that he had lost his job. A person sent to us by an employment agency will replace him next week.
(23)
A.Because the other people in the office didn't like him.
B.Because he was unable to deal with the work.
C.Because he showed no interest in the job.
D.Because his work was not satisfactory.
But this daydream, implying the murder and loss of the underlying good father, was unacceptable to the boy and failed to solve his doubts. He began to behave compulsively, such as making sure when out walking to step only on stones and never to walk on the bare earth, a magical hope of resolving his confusion. Once as he walked in the backyard he ran out of stones to step on and suddenly stood stuck still on the last stone between the yard and his rear steps. He stayed there for an hour until finally his father came and picked him up, freeing him from his immobility. Once the boy overheard his father saying, "I live only for the family" only to hear his grandfather say: "No, you only live for yourself!" All of these seeming contradictions made the boy grow into a man endlessly shifting back and forth between positions, unable to take a stand except on irrelevant and unimportant issues in dally life.
What is the character of the father described by Angyal?
A.kind
B.patient
C.impatient
D.unstable
A.The dean showed him the picture the player drew.
B.The dean showed him two students' papers.
C.The dean showed him two student's knife.
D.The dean showed him the money stolen by the students.
