I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪癖) farmer. I had never met him before although I had heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and talked for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I didn't have the slightest idea who she was but obviously I had to go.
It was snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for, me. "She meant more to me than anyone... even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me that he had put her in the barn(厩). "I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!" he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. "She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again.
The underlined phrase "make out" in the first paragraph means______.
A．expect
B．see clearly
C．hear clearly
D．understand

It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less. I once bought a Czechoslo-vakian glass butter-dish from Robinson's for a little under two dollars. I then went on to Change Al-ley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape, design and size, in one of the shops. I then asked about its price, and was surprised when the man demanded more than four dollars for it. "How much can you offer？" he shouted at me. I offered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his reply was shockingly rude (粗鲁). I opened my bag, showed him my receipt, stared at him and walked out of his shop.
A buyer in England expects to find the price of goods clearly shown, or, to be told exactly what the price is. He knows this is the lowest price that will be accepted. If he thinks the price is be- yond what he can afford, he shrugs (耸耸) his shoulders and walks away. He does not attempt to bargain with the shopkeeper. Even if he showed annoyance or surprise, he would expect to be told that if the price was unacceptable, he should try elsewhere.
The underlined word "haggling" (line 2, para. 1 ) in the text most probably means______.
A．accepting the prices immediately
B．fixing the right cost for some goods
C．arguing about the price of something
D．paying extra for comfortable shopping
根据下列材料请回答 56～60 题：
A
There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain, although prices are clearly shown on the goods. There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling; some shopkeepers expect you to and will be surprised if you accepted their prices immediately. We know that the prices in some stores are a bit higher than those in Change Alley, but we also realize that to keep a store like Robinson’s is by no means cheap. Besides, in such places we shop in air-conditioned(空调)comfort. For all these, we pay a little extra.

【填空题】Listen to the following dialogue and fill in the blanks. Ms.: Sorry, Miranda Emily: Move it! Ooh! Miranda: I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to1) _________ an appointment. Emily: I know. I'm so sorry, Miranda. I actually did confirm last night. Miranda: Details of your incompetence do not interest me. Tell Simone I’m not going to 2)__________ that girl that she sent me for the Brazilian layout. I asked for clean, athletic, smiling. She sent me dirty, tired and paunchy. And R.S.V.P. Yes to the Michael Kors party. I want the driver to 3) _____ me _____ at 9:30 and pick me up at 9:45 sharp. Call Natalie at Glorious Foods, tell her no for the 40th time. No, I don’t want dacquoise. I want tortes filled with warm rhubarb compote. Then call my ex-husband and remind him the parent-teacher conference is at Dalton tonight. Then call my husband, ask him to meet me for dinner at that place I went to with Massimo. Tell Richard I saw the pictures that he sent for that feature on the female paratroopers... and they’re all so deeply unattractive. Is it impossible to find a lovely, slender female paratrooper？ No. Am I reaching for the stars here？ Not really. Also, I need to see all the things that Nigel has pulled for Gwyneth’s second cover try. I wonder if she’s lost any of that weight yet. Who's that？ Emily: Nobody. Um, uh... Human Resources sent her up about the new assistant job, and I was4) ____________ her. But she’s hopeless and totally wrong for it. Miranda:Clearly I’m going to have to do that myself because the last two you sent me... were completely 5) ___________. So send her in. That's all. Emily: : Right.
Woman: Yes, John, it's an exciting new role, and it fits in with the strategy development plan.
Man: Quite. It's part of a logical progression in our approach to management, carefully consolidating our skills base. It should mean a new chain of command, but based on tried and tested methods.., we'll be stronger as a result.
Woman: Well that's the idea. Now, the first one that's come in is from Colin...
Man: The assistant manager for the south-east？
Woman: Yes. Colin's clearly keen...
Man: But of course, it's an attractive proposition.
Woman: And I think that's what's drawn him. He's said his current post is demanding - as well he might - but that he's keen to position himself in the spotlight here. Reading between the lines, I think the alternative, as he sees it, is to move sideways to IT, which is where his background is. It would be a shame to lose someone like him ... he's hungry.
Man: Yes, it's a genuine application. He's a serious contender. I was struck recently... I think it was last month.., by his problem- solving abilities. He was passed a complaint - it wasn't really his problem at all - but he took it up anyway, about some faulty goods we'd supplied, apparently. I think he saw it as an efficiency issue, and so relevant to any responsible person here. And he reacted really well, so that the customer went away happy after all.
Woman: Right, and that suggests the qualities that are most germane to the job. Ultimately, I suppose, we're looking for a level of adaptability that it's fair to say someone in his position may not have had the chance to really demonstrate yet.., but his familiarity with the goods we produce is second-to-none, so I think the signs are there that he may become an astute analyst and problem-solver.
Man: That's certainly encouraging. And it's not just in the office that he's been looking good. I sent him abroad as part of that group a few weeks ago. The basic brief was to secure a continuation of the Asian contract. To be honest, that was a bit of a given, and what I was really hoping for was something extra. And sure enough, he clearly really worked on all our contacts out there, and he came back with some great new insights into how we might be able to develop bulk sales directly through warehouses, rather than through the standard agency channels.
Woman: Oh right, interesting - I missed the debrief on that one. But I do know he went on a training course not so long ago, and clearly reaped the benefits there. The content was mundane enough - 'how to produce effective reports' or some such - but he identified the points that really mattered, and saw that what it actually addressed was how to order the most pertinent facts for delivery to a team.
Man: So, it's good news all round？
Woman: Let's look at what his reference has to say. He does have shortcomings, of course. His confidence is very strong, almost to a fault, you might say, which could lead to difficulties on the patience front.., just because he gets the point quickly doesn't mean he's entitled to think everyone else does, that they share the same conclusions.., others may be behind in terms of objectivity, still grappling with issues that impact personally on themselves.
Man: Hmm, that'd certainly be something to watch, I guess. Still, we're not looking for perfection, are we？ And we're not going to be setting up a lone operator.
Woman: Oh, far from it. Whoever gets the job will be well backed up. I was talking to the consultants the other day, and they were quite critical of our reliance on checking performance through the one-to-one appraisal system, so it's been decided that this new post will be linked into the cross-departmental advisory group that was set up a few months ago, and benefit from dealing with them and getting their input. That should help quite a bit.
A．plans to change corporate culture.
B．criticisms of management practice.
C．changes to overall company structure.
