We've all heard the old saying,“Sticks and stones can break my bones,but words can never hurt me.” Don't you believe it?Words are powerful,and they can hurt—a lot. In fact,if you're not careful,you can even hurt yourself,by using the wrong word in your writing.
Recently a friend sent me a copy of an e-mail she received from the customer service department of her credit card company,after she contacted them with a question about her account. She was happy with their positive response. But as I read the e-mail,one line jumped out at me:“In lieu of good customer service...”
Did they really mean they were offering her a few extra reward points instead of good customer service?I doubt it. More likely,what the customer service department meant to say was,“Because good customer service is important to us...” followed by the details of what they were doing to make sure she remained a happy customer.
So why didn't the writer say that?I can only guess that perhaps the writer liked the phrase “in lieu of”,thought it sounded more interesting than saying “because”,and so used it—without bothering to check the true meaning.
Have you ever done that?Try to impress others with a big word,only to find out you've used the word incorrectly?It's just the opposite effect,isn't it?You may impress people all right,but it's not the impression you were going for.
When you write,remember to choose your words carefully. People may still disagree with what you say,but they won't be able to dismiss you because you made careless mistakes in how you said it.
【小题1】What's the writer's purpose in giving the saying?
A.To amuse the reader. | B.To persuade the reader. |
C.To support a conclusion. | D.To lead to the topic. |
A.Because of | B.In honour of | C.Instead of | D.In favour of |
A.didn't prefer to use familiar words to attract customers |
B.didn't express what they really meant |
C.didn't need to offer their customers extra reward points |
D.succeeded in impressing their customers |

Space tourism might be the dream of many people on the planet, but a journey to space is not is not as easy as simply buying some tickets at a travel search engine;it is only reserved for the privileged few that can afford the cost.. One of the options that impressed me most is the one offered by a company called Space Adventures.
What they have in place is a space tourism program that slows you to travel with the Soyuz to the International Space Station (ISS).The trip starts a few months in advance with intensive training dealing mainly with gravity operations, fight control and survival activities.
When all tins training is over, your space trip begins. The trip can be planned exactly according to your needs, whether you’re going for scientific research , or simply for an adventure. I doubt whether you will find any other kind of trip that has such a thorough preparation period beforehand.
One of the great things to do, even if it makes your space trip a bit more expensive, is that you could go on a space walk during your trip. That would definitely be a good opportunity to dance outside with your loved one to a slow waltz…Sorry, I forget there’s no sound in space!
Whatever option you choose, the only obstacle you might face is the cost. All the other requirements seem to be less than those for getting a visa to a foreign country. Generally your height should be between 160 and 185 cm, your weight between 50and 95 kg and be in good health.
Finally ,in answer to the question you’ve been wondering about .Granted, space tourism is expensive, but exactly how expensive would a normal scheduled flight to the ISS cost? Would you believe it costs between $30 and $40 million? A Russian language course is included!
51. Besides the body requirements, which of the following is most likely to stop someone from going into space?
A . Their knowledge. B . The climate . C . The cost . D. A visa
52.Which of the following statements best describes the main idea of this passage?
A.Space tourism― a dream made reality?
B.Are you ready for space tourism?

D.Why only a few privileged persons can afford space trips.
53.The word “that” in the fourth paragraph refers to .
A.a space walk B.a space tourism program
C.a space trip D.a space dance
54.According to the passage, who is most likely to take part in the space tourism program?
A.Mike, a millionaire, who is about 170 cm in height and weighs 98 kg. He is in good health
B.Julia, a model, whose height is 165 cm and weight is 48 kg. She has heart disease.
