阅读理解。 | Department stores sell ready-to-wear clothing, which is also called ready-made clothing. Such clothing is made in fixed sizes. Those people who find that ready-made clothing fits them well can save money by buying it. Most often, People do not fit exactly into a producer"s size. Their clothing must be changed to make it fit better. However, most changes are not very expensive. The small cost of most changes means that ready-made clothing can meet the needs of most customers. Those who can afford it often get someone to design (设计) and make their clothing. Such clothing is called custom-made. The person who makes it measures (测量) the customer, and then sews it so that it fits perfectly. Changes are not needed. Custom-made clothing is largely sewn by hand, has better quality, better material, and is of the style you have chosen. Of course, it costs much more than ready-to-wear clothing. You need to pay the difference for the special fitting and better skill that you are receiving. This often means that you spend double or mor than you would for a ready-made garment. Custom-made clothing is not always that much better than ready-made clothing. It costs more partly because only one garment has been made, just for you. Companies that produce ready-made products make thousands of garments at a time. This means they can buy large amounts of material. Workers cut each size by the hundreds. Companies work out ways to make the garments, quickly by machine and pay workers according to their skill. Thus they can sell the finished products at a low price while still making money. Most of the clothing sold in the United States is made in this way. Customers gain from the lower prices which are made possible by mass production. It may or may not give them high quality. | 1.

This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life by living with British families. We came two days before Christmas and during our stay, we have had everything we expected. Christmas turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas puddings, Christmas parties and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing (有趣的), but above all these, we are deeply touched by the hospitality (好客) of the family, Roger and Anne Marie. Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days, she had been busy cooking meals, washing dishes and showing us around. Roger, who was a doctor, knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings, we all sit around the fireplace with Tim, a lovely dog, by our side. Like long-time-no-see friends, we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know. After three months away from home, we are again feeling how sweet a home can be. Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person-to-person feeling, instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures, one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved. How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here, the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about "when we go back home next year…" and soon we will turn this into "when we go back home THIS year…" for the New Year"s Day is coming. Miss you. Love Cao Wen | 1. The writer is _____ now in England. | [ ] | A. a Chinese visitor to an English family B. a Chinese student studying C. a Chinese teacher working D. a Chinese student living | 2. In Hartsop, Cao Wen felt _____. | |
[ ] | A. rather at home B. the English home better than her home C. she was a foreigner in a foreign country D. she was one member of the family | 3. It seems that Roger _____. | [ ] | A. can speak Chinese very well B. knows something about Chinese for a long time C. once lived in China for a long time D. can do everything better than the Chinese | 4. When you are away from home, it is good for you to have the feeling _____. | [ ] | A. of being alone B. of going home soon C. of love and being loved D. as a foreigner |
