    One of the Queen’s closest relatives and oldest friends was allowed to give a deep description into the family life of the Royals. Although there have been hundreds of other books declaring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors, this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the Royal Family and has shared their lives—not only throughout the Queen’s reign (统治) but also through that of her father, King George VI.

    The Final Curtsey was written by her Majesty’s cousin and childhood playmate the Honorable Margaret Rhodes. It tells in details the story of Mrs. Rhodes’s relationship with the Royal family over eight decades. The book, with delightfully informal and never-before-seen pictures, has been written with the full knowledge of the Queen, who has read and approved parts of it.

    Born in 1925, the Honorable Margaret Rhodes has led an extraordinary life. She was the childhood playmate of her cousin, the Queen; a wartime M16 spy; and she was a lady-in- waiting (宫女) to her aunt, the Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, from 1991 until the latter’s death in 2002. At the Queen’s 80th birthday in April 2006, Margaret gave an interview to the BBC which she proved that, in her own opinion and despite several false reports, the Queen would not abdicate(退位).

    In this charming autobiography (自传)，she told how she was offered a house to live in the Royal farm in Windsor Great Park unexpectedly. One day when she and the Queen were out riding outside, she suddenly returned and said, “Could you bear to live in the suburb?” “I think it should be OK.” Therefore Mrs. Rhodes is now still living there.

    1.Compared with other books about the Royal Family, the biggest advantage of The Final Curtsey is that _______.

    A. its author is very famous

    B. its author knows the Queen well

    C. it presents reader a very different Queen

    D. it has pictures that have never been seen

    2.When Mrs. Rhodes was offered to live in the Royal farm, she was _______.

    A. unhappy B. surprised

    C. sad D. disappointed

    3.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Mrs. Rhodes ________.

    A. has lived quite a long life

    B. was so famous that BBC interviewed her

    C. has a close relationship with the royal family

    D. has been very busy and kept on changing jobs

    4.The passage is mainly about________.

    A. a book about royal family

    B. the Queen’s life

    C. the life of Margaret Rhodes

    D. the Queen’s abdication

    阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

    In a small village, the parents of a little boy were very depressed due to his bad temper(脾气). The boy used to get angry very easily and hurt others with his words. While he forgot what he spoke in anger, his friends and neighbours avoided him.

    His mother and father tried many ways to make him give up his anger and develop kindness. Unfortunately, all their attempts failed. Finally, the boy’s father came up with an idea.

    One day, his father gave him a huge bag of nails, asking him to hammer one nail to the fence every time he lost his temper. The little boy found it funny and accepted what his father had said.

    His anger drove him to hammer 30 nails into the fence on the first day! Over the next few days, the little boy found it very difficult to hammer the nails into the fence and decided to control his temper.

    Gradually, the number of nails hammered into the fence was reduced and the day arrived when he hammered none!

    Now, his father told him to remove the nails every day as he had controlled his anger. Several days passed and the boy was able to pull out most of the nails from the fence.

    The father appreciated him and asked him, pointing to one of the holes, “What do you see there?”

    The boy replied, “A hole in the fence?”

    He told the boy, “The nails were your bad temper and they were hammered into people. You can remove the nails but still see the holes in the fence. The fence never looks the same! It has scars all over! Your bad temper and anger were like that! Use words for good. Use them to show your heart!”

    We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money, but most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job,did Jim really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back,it’s too late.

    Why did we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you,“You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says,“You’re a lucky guy！”that’s being friendly. But“lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

    “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”is another noise that says one thing and means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem.But this phrase contains the thought that your problem isn’t important.

    How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

    1.By saying“You’re a lucky dog,”the speaker_______.

    A. is just being friendly

    B. expresses the same meaning as “You’re a lucky guy”

    C. may has a hidden jealous feeling behind the words

    D. is humorous to apply the word“dog”to people

    2.In listening to a person,the important thing is______.

    A. to notice his tone,his posture,and his clothes

    B. to listen to how he pronounces his words

    C. to check his words against his manner,his tone of voice.

    D. not to believe what he says

    3.This passage tries to tell you how to______.

    A. avoid mistakes about both money and people

    B. say things elegantly

    C. keep people friendly without trusting them

    D. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
