16、yed cats since 1868. They are not employed to sort or deliver mail, of course, but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control. They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice. London post offices were the first to try out the experiment. With
17、in a few months the population of mice had shrunk sharply. Other post offices all over the country were soon using cats in the war against rats and mice as well. Within ten years the pay of the cats was improved from one and a half old pence a day to six or nine pence a day. Now the average rate of
18、pay is about a few pounds a month.10 discount on all orders above 20.00Some of the hard-working cats have become quite famous. In 1980, a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own. As the two burglars made their way in through the window, Lucky started a
19、n attack and they fled empty-handed. Another excellent cat was Jerry, of Earls Court post office in London. He served the building for 16 years and was on duty for 24 hours every day. He drove all the mice away.However, there are fewer cats employed by the post office than at any time in the past. W

24、ts? Some students might need a while to remember. But for students in Yangzhou University it is easy to remember as they need to run in the morning at least three times a week during their two terms. The university even uses fingerprint punch-in clocks(指纹签到机) to manage students records. However, som
25、e students still try to skip(不参加) morning running. To them, sports are just not important enough.Now colleges are seeing a change in the student lifestyle from outdoor enthusiasts to indoor couch potatoes and Internet addicts. The Internet and various on-campus services, from food delivery to laundr
26、y, are leading to a student culture of staying in dormitories. A student can have every need met without leaving the dormitory.In the past two years Zhang Yi, 20, a junior majoring in law at Yangzhou University, has never been outside for sports except during physical education class. “I dont think
27、there is anything wrong with sleeping late in the morning and wanting to stay in the dormitory in my spare time. I have more fun doing things on my computer than playing on the sports ground in wet clothes.” said Zhang.“With social networking sites, online games and micro-blogging added to already t
28、ight schedules, sports are often the last thing to be considered.” said Cheng Jie, 21, a senior majoring in civil engineering at the Southeast University in Nanjing. But Jin Yinghua, a professor at Beijing Sports University, said that sports are not only for keeping fit, but also an irreplaceable “e

32、1. The best title of the passage would be_. A. A new college life B. Sports losing attraction C. P.E. class at colleges D. Morning running at collegesDWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturers claims, the first step is to
33、 present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain direct
34、ly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get
35、 to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succe
36、ed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to
37、 write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a pri
38、vate or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.32. When a consumer finds that his or her purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he or she should do is to _.A. threaten to take the matter to courtB. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseC. show some wr

40、the store manager.D. Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.34. According to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?A. Complain to the manufacturer.B. Write a complaint letter to the manager.C. Turn to the Consumers Rights Protection
41、Organization for help.D. Complain to the store manager in person. 35.
