    Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,

    　　　 Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train．It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before．

    　　　 College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.

    　　　 It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.

    　　　 Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.

    　　　 But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't you

    have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.

    　　　 I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.

    　　 I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.

    　　　 The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.

    　　　 Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.

    Yours most respectfully,

    Jerusha Abbott

    To Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith

    61．Jerusha felt “confused” because　　 ．

    　　　 A．she had never written to the trustee before

    　　　 B．she was not familiar with the college yet

    　　　 C．she could never find the way to her home

    　　　 D．she had never traveled on a train berore

    62．Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “John Smith” because　　 ．

    　　　 A．he was a total stranger to her

    　　　 B．she was sure it was a false identity

    　　　 C．the name was too common

    　　　 D．nobody would like to be called that time

    63．According to Jerusha, being rich may be　 　　 　 ．

    　　　 A．tentative　　　　　　　　 B．unimaginable　　　　　 C．traditional 　　　　　　 D．rude

    64．The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes Jerusha feel　　　 ．

    　　　 A．busy B．restricted by rules　 C．pressed for time　　 D．full of energy

    65．Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs　　　 ．

    　　　 A．in order to show her respect for him

    　　　 B．because it was one of his inner quality

    　　　 C．in older to make them feel closer to each other

    　　　 D．because she had always wanted a father

    　　Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand (品牌) of product on the shelf．

    　　Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell．Health foods are packaged (包装) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours．Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver．

    　　When some kind of painkiller was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective．Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package－blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm．

    　　The size of a product can attract a shopper．But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to．

    　　It is believed that the better - known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!

    　　The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product．The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius (天才) to sell it．”
