Corryvale Farm

Corryvale Farm is in the west of England. Stephen and Jenny Blackler keep cows and chickens and sell milk and eggs. But most of their money comes from Jenny's sheep.

She has 50 sheep and each one has enough wool for six sweaters. Every six months, Stephen cuts this wool off the sheep so they won't get too warm. Five years ago, Jenny made some sweaters with the wool and tried to sell them at country markets. But it was summer and the weather was hot so people didn't want to buy sweaters. She then made some socks. Everybody loved them because they were cheap, strong and easy to wash.

That's how Jenny's business started. At first she made the socks at home, but soon she had thousands of customers so she bad to send the wool to a factory, where all the socks are now made on machines. There are six colours, five sizes for all ages, and different socks for walkers, sportsmen and skiers. Jenny is busiest at Christmas because Corryvale socks are a favourite present. On the walls of Jenny's office, there are lots of letters from happy customers all over the world.

Jenny only gets wool from her sheep once a year.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't say

"I'm more of a creature to polish my mind than polish my furniture. The house takes second place while I put the studying first".

"I was very happy at school and had wonderful teaching. I passed the university entrance examination and was ready to go to university but with WWI I went into banking. I was paid 1 pound a week. Manchester University kept my place open for three years but I was enjoying the money and freedom. So I turned it down."

Mrs. Stephen is now in the second year of her Open University course and is finding it hard work. She underestimates her ability. "I'm feeling tired more frequently..I can't do more than an hour' s work at a time. The memory' s shocking. I' m supposed to be revising and I look up notes ! did earlier this year and think, ' Have you mad this before？' so I' m doing it very slowly—one credit a year, so it' 11 take six years."

"At the moment the greatest reward is simply the increase in knowledge'--and the discipline. I had an essay failed this week. The professor said I hadn't answered the question. I've been thinking about all week. I know I haven' t got the facility for essay construction. I just let myself to get excited. I feel more emotionally than I do mentally. I'm very ordinary really."

While claiming to be ordinary and lazy, Mrs. Stephen is still working hard daily at her assignments. Mrs. Stephen sees her studies as keeping her fit and independent. "Because of my life I' ve been self-sufficient. It' s not a very nice characteristic. It means I don' t care enough about people. I cannot say I find comfort in what I'm learning, so I'U be interested to see if there's a life ahead."

When Florence said "I' m more of a creature to polish my mind than polish my furniture", she meant that______.

A．she was tired of learning

B．she was thirsty for knowledge

C．she was more suitable for doing housework

D．she did not have enough time to keep the house clean
