Then the door opened and a mother with two small children asked me, “may we sit here, Madam?” at first I wanted to say, “well, actually, Im reading

26、an exciting book and Id like to finish it. Could you find another compartment?”But of course I said, “yes, certainly,” I still had not finished that book. Unfortunately, I found it very difficult to say “No” to those magic words “May I ” or “would you mind if”Of course people usually ask permission

27、to do quite harmless things, like using the telephone, turning the light on, opening the window and things like that. But then there are some funny requests. Some people even ask if they may wash their hands or take their coats off. On the other hand, very few smokers will bother to ask permission t

28、o smoke!But what about those difficult requests like, “Do you mind if I come round for a cup of coffee?” or “Is it all right if I bring the children to the party? They are very good really.” The trouble is, I just dont have the nerve to refuse. Well, do you?56. The writer describes those requests as

31、from a tree? Well, the job is a lot more difficult than you might think. There is a right way and a wrong way to shake a fruit tree. And a person who is a good apple tree shaker may not be a good cherry tree shaker. Different fruits take different shakes .As a rule, a slow hard shake is best. This m

32、akes the fruit fall much faster than a light; quick jiggle. Most fruits have a set number of shakes per minute that will do the best job of getting them out of the tree and onto the ground. To shake down plums, try shaking the tree four hundred times per minute, moving the tree two inches at each sh

33、ake. Experts say youll get three times more fruit from the tree than you will if you shake eleven hundred times per minute at one inch per shake. Cherries, because they are smaller, need more shaking. A good rate of shaking seems to be about twelve hundred shakes per minute. Apples, like plums, need

34、 four hundred shakes.Of course, some people may choose to take no notice of all these expert directions for shaking fruit. Keeping track of all the numbers can be enough to drive some people up a tree. 60This passage is about _.Aeating plums Bhow to shake fruit from a treeCthe value of fruits and ve

45、mple of wasting everything, for they thought natures resources were so plentiful that none of them ever imagined that natural materials would be used up in time.

46、 burned down their house with only one aim to get the nails (钉子) for future use . No one ever gave a thought to the priceless hard woods that went up in smoke.
