Passage Four

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:

Mrs. Green gave her husband her letters to post when he was going to work. But sometimes Mr. Green forgot to do so and kept them in his pocket for days.

One fine morning in March, Mrs. Green asked him to post a letter. “Please post this letter and don’t forget,’ she said. Mr. Green put the letter in his pocket and said, “I am sure to post this one.” Mrs. Green smiled and said, “Yes, I believe that you will this time.” Mrs. Green looked at his back, and was still smiling when she closed the door.

Mr. Green walked slowly along the street. Soon a man came up from behind him. When he walked by, the man looked back and smiled, “Don’t forget to post the letter!”

Then a girl walked by, and she turned and smiled, too. “Don’t forget to post that letter!” she said.

Mr. Green said to himself, “Why are these people smiling at me? And how do they know I have a letter to post?”

At last he came to a post office, posted the letter, and walked on. But after a while, a boy came up from behind him and asked him, “Did you post your letter?”

“Yes, I did,” said Mr. Green.

“Then I can take off this paper,” said the boy.

He took a large piece of paper from the back of Mr. Green’s coat and showed it to him. On the paper were these words – “Ask him to post the letter.”

Part IV. Short Answer Questions (10 points; 15 minutes)

Directions:In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.) Write your answers on the Answer Sheet of Paper Two. （请将此部分的答案写在试卷二的答题纸上）

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage. 

Thank—you cards seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human contact．

Although our society has changed greatly over the past century，the etiquette (礼节) of thank-you notes has not．

While most people would agree that thank-you notes are a necessity，there are still those who forever delay or are forgetful for unknown reasons．

And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more obvious (or lacking) than June．The month of brides and graduations，and the beginning of summer parties．

“It’s a must-do thing．A real thank-you does not come by e-mail．They come in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to pass around for everyone to read，”said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige．

Don’t think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes-any

handwritten letters，for that matter-have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity (尊严) in

this e-hyper (超电子) world．

Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance (复兴)．

More than simply obeying rules of etiquette，thank-you cards are a sign of caring．

“They’re more important now than ever，”expert Peter Post says．“You’re building a relationship．And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge (表示谢意) when someone has done something nice for you．’’

The payoff (回报)，Post says，can be huge．“It perpetuates (延续)，”he says．“The more we do it，the more it comes back to us，and it’s a benefit to us a11．It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in.”

61. The writer thinks the Internet ________________________________________.

62. Baldrige argues that a thank-you note should be __________________________ 

63. A thank-you note should be handwritten because it takes on an air of _________

 ____________to build a relationship，you should give thanks to someone who_____

65. The passage is mainly about _______________________________________.
