Passage Five

In the 1900's, American townspeople usually washed and brushed their teeth and combed their hair in the kitchen. Or they kept a water pitcher (大水罐) and a wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.

The bathtub was a wash tub (澡盆) filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest, Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathed together. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday-night because Sundays they went to church.

A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on Whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing (水管实施 ). Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.

51. In the first paragraph, "took care of" means ______.

A. kept

beautiful big bungalow and she bought herself a very expensive pearl necklace

The following summer, the Burwoods decided to throw a party. Early on the afternoon

of the party, Betty took her new silk dress out of the wardrobe and put her expensive pearl

necklace on her dressing-table ready to put on in the evening. Then, she went to see how the

preparations for the party were going

The catering company had just arrived - a cook, Mrs. Moore, and her two helpers,

Nancy and Harriet. They were all in the kitchen unpacking the piles of boxes which they had

brought with them. Soon, the fourth member of the team, Charlie Chivers, arrived on his

bicycle

By six o' clock, everything was ready. The garden looked magnificent - with small

round tables and colorful chairs and sun shades. The food and drink was all laid out in the

kitchen, ready to be brought out when the guests arrived

At ten past six, Betty went to her bedroom to get ready. She showered and put on her

best silk dress. It was when she was brushing her hair that she realized that her pearls were

not on the dressing-table. "Bill," she said, "have you moved my pearls？" "No, dear,"

answered Hill, "where were they？" "1 put them on the drussing-tabie this afternoon and

they're not here now. ""Are you sure？" asked Bill. "Maybe you put them down somewhere

else, or maybe you,ye moved them"

D.When did people first begin to use stamps？ Who was the first to think of this idea？

In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage when they received letters. Sometimes they didn’t want to receive a letter at all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to get the postage.

Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in Englan

D.He was the first to think of using stamps in the 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. They could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could just put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.

The prevailing(盛行)winds over Britain are southwesterly ones.The weather from day to day is variable，because it is controlled by depressions(低气压)from the Atlantic Ocean which，moving in a northeasterly or easterly direction，pass over or near the British Isles.Occasionally during winter months，between early December and the middle of March，northern winds may sometimes prevail，bringing cold weather and snowfalls which may last for several days or even 2 or 3 weeks，but seldom more than that.The English spring is very changeable，with warm and cold days in between until June.After the first week of May，you can take off your overcoats once and for all until the middle of October.But you certainly have to keep your raincoats and umbrellas close at hand，in any case.

friend. Looked round at the luxury of the【M1】______ rink, my friends mother remarked on the "plush" seats we had been given. I did not know what she meant, and being proud of my【M2】______ vocabulary, I tried to infer its meaning from the context. " Plush" was clearly intended as a complimentary, a positive evaluation: that much I【M3】______ could tell it from the tone of voice and the context. So I started to use【M4】______ the word. Yes, I replied, they certainly are plush, and so are the ice rink and the costumes of the skaters, arent they？ My friends mother was very polite to correct me, but I could tell from her expression that【M5】______ I had not got the word quite right. Often we can indeed infer from the context what a word roughly means, and that is in fact the way which we usually acquire both new【M6】______ words and new meanings for familiar words, specially in our own first【M7】______ language. But sometimes we need to ask, as I should have asked for【M8】______ plush, and this is particularly true in the aspect of a foreign language.【M9】______ If you are continually surrounded by speakers of the language you are learning, you can ask them directly, but often this opportunity does not exist for the learner of English. So dictionaries have been developed to【M10】______ mend the gap.
