I am not sure that I can draw an exact line between wit and humor (perhaps the distinction is so subtle that only those persons can decide who have long white beards), but even an ignorant person may ex- press an opinion in this matter.
I am quite positive that humor is the more comfortable and livable quality, for humorous persons, if their gift is genuine and not a mere shine upon the surface, are always agreeable companions. They have pleasant mouths turned up at the corners, to which the great Master of Marionettes has fixed the strings and he holds them in his nimblest fingers to twitch them at the slightest jest. But the mouth of a merely witty man is hard and sour. Nor is the flash from a witty man always comforting, but a humorous man radiates a general pleasure.
I admire wit, but I have no real liking for it; it has been too often employed against me, whereas humor is always an ally. It never points an impertinent linger into my defects. A wit's tongue, however, is as sharp as a donkey's stick—I may gallop the faster for its prodding, but the touch behind is too persuasive for any comfort.
Wit is a lean creature with a sharp inquiring nose, whereas humor has a kindly eye and a comfortable girth. Wit has a better voice in a solo, but humor comes into the chorus best. Wit keeps the season's fashions and is precise in the phrases and judgments of the day, but humor is concerned with homely eternal things.
The distinction between wit and humor is______.
A．of no particular importance
B．solely a matter of opinion
C．subtle
D．exact and important
What is the easiest way to learn a language according to the speaker？
A．To try at home, with the help of tapes or radio.

Long Bus Ride
Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. " "Drink Good'n Wet Root Beer. " "Fill up with Pacific Gas. " Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you've traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style. of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time？ Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane？ After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you've sat with you legs crossed, with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip？
A．Buses on the road.
B．Films on television.
C．Advertisements on the board.
D．Gas stations.

To whom it may concern,
As my watch (model: 5M43-0B19, S/N: 6D8256) was clearly in need of repair, I recently took it to the Lexington Repair Center where the defective components in the watches are repaired. To my surprise, my request for the repairs to be billed to your company was declined in spite of the fact that there are still three years remaining in the coverage period. As there are no other authorized service centers in my area, I decided to pay for the repairs myself.
The following are the charges billed by the service center:
Parts:
New mainspring...........$23
New hour hand.............$8
New battery...................$5
Labor.............................$34
Total..............................$70
Showing prices including tax
I have included a copy of the receipt I got for the repairs and a copy of my warranty certificate. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Regards,
Tomas Rodriguez
