Mrs. White I hate salesmen. I mean they are always pestering me to buy things I don’t want. Why should I waste my time listening to their lies and looking at the junk they are trying to sell me When I need something, I go out and buy it. Things are cheaper at the supermarket and there’s a much better selection there. Mrs. Lee People prefer to buy from door-to-door salesmen because they are so friendly. A good salesman always brings things like candies for the children, sympathy for the tired housewife and a smile for the lonely old people. And the customers always have a chance to try things before they actually buy them. You don’t get that kind of service at the supermarket. Mrs. Ros I just don’t trust those salesmen. Once you let in a salesperson you can never get rid of him. They just keep talking and talking until you buy his goods. When you come to use the thing, you find out it’s a piece of junk. But you can’t get your money back. They use all kinds of dishonest tricks to get people to buy overpriced goods which they don’t need and can’t afford. Mr. Wales I have met salesmen who sell only quality products. Customers test everything in their own homes and at their own convenience. I’ve heard a few cases of salesman harassing customers or making false claims. I suppose there are a few bad salesmen. But there are also bad doctors, bad policemen and so on. They aren’t typical of their profession. Mr. Baker Salesmen often came by for a coffee and a nice talk. I’m so glad they do so. I don’t have many visitors and the salesmen are interesting people. They talk in vivid language, and they are usually polite people. I’m a little too old to go out to the stores and buy things. I don’t mind paying a little extra when they are brought to my home. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements A. Salesmen often come to ask for a lot of coffee. B. Salesmen are usually adolecents. C. I prefer to buy things in a supermarket because things there are cheaper. D. I never trust salesmen. E. Salesmen provide better service than supermarkets do. F. Most salesmen don’t take in their customers. G. Salesmen are interesting and usually polite people.

Text 2 Punctuation makes the written language intelligible. It does the job, on the page, of the changes of pitch, pace and rhythm which make it possible to understand speech. Unsurprisingly, therefore, a requirement for some knowledge of how to punctuate makes an early appearance in an English curriculum. The trouble is, that necessary though punctuation is, the task of teaching it to children is considerably more challenging than it might appear. For example, it is possible that to instruct children about writing in sentences by telling them about full stops and capital letters is to court frustration and failure. The notion of the sentence as a statement—a free- standing chunk of information—is something that children come to gradually. As written work grows longer and more complicated, so the perception of sentence increases. Good teachers will, in their teaching of early writing, watch for the child’s ability to compose in sentences, and then point out how the use of punctuation will define them more clearly. So, where, in all this, comes the mechanical definition of a sentence—that it needs a verb, for example The pragmatic answer is that it comes nowhere at all. Adult writers do not, on the whole, look back at their sentences to make sure they contain verbs. We all surely feel our sentences intuitively. Most of the time, to be sure, they will contain verbs. Occasionally, though, they may not—and where’s the harm What is certain is that you cannot possibly use the grammatical rule as a tool with which to teach a seven-year-old about sentence-writing. The child can be nudged and helped towards writing in sentences, but on the whole he will not do it until he is ready. The point is that punctuation is an aid which the writer brings into play to illuminate an already formed idea. Before you can learn the punctuation, you have to know what you want to punctuate. Thus you teach capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks to a child who is already writing sentences, questions and exclamations. The development of a child’s writing will always be a step ahead of the punctuation, and to reverse the process in response, say, to the short-term demands of a curriculum is to put later progress at risk. The author believes that sentences which do not contain a verb are______.
There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers.. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on lo- cal customs and ways of life because toys imitate(模仿) their surroundings.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步). The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 B.C. to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials. According to the passage each rattle is limited by （）
