At the end of February, Bry told Ami that he would not complete the plastering in time unless she agreed to increase his payment by a further £1,000. Ami agreed to pay the increased sum in order to ensure that the job was done on time. She then thought it was only fair that she should increase the amount of money promised to Cis by the same amount.
However, on completion of the work on time Ami refused to make either of the additional payments to Bry or Cis, beyond the original contractual price.
Required:
Advise Bry and Cis whether they have any rights in law to enforce Ami’s promise to pay them an extra £1,000.

A.do experiments with water
B.purify the used water and reuse it
C.use fresh water once again
D.make use of seawater
第5题
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.
Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.
But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt.
This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.
The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ().
A.do experiments with water
B.purify the used water and reuse it
C.use fresh water once again
D.make use of seawater

Passage Five
Probably the hardest part of setting goals is the first step of actually deciding to take action!The first barrier facing most people is the incorrect assumption that goals are only for business people.The reality is everyone sets goals mentally throughout the day.There are always occasions where something has to be done at a particular time Or in a particular place.Simple examples could be getting up at a certain time in order to be at work,or to meet with a friend for a leisure activity.
The beauty of having goals is the uniqueness.of each one to’the goal setter.
Whether it is personal,financial,business or spiritual,they are all specific to that person and their circumstances.
The most important part initially is to write them down.Having goals mritten down gives you incredible power while helping you to focus on this area.
Aim for something that will stretch you while remaining achievable.If you achieve your goal too easily,it is not high enough to make any significant change in your life and needs to be adjusted.On the other hand,if you consistently miss the goals,re-evaluate,and consider setting them a little lower as you will only get discouraged and probably give up. The aim is to keep growing,and moving into a more satisfactory position for your particular circumstances.
As you obtain the levels that you have set for yourself,always include a small reward at each point.This might only be a small thing in the early days like a meal out or a weekend vacation.
Remember that these changes will not happen overnight and there will be a period of time when nothing seems to be happening.This is why the goals need to be detailed and as specific as possible with a consequence and benefit.
Allow some time on a daily basis to educate yourself on how to make the necessary adjustments in your life.This could include listening to a CD,or reading a book on motivation etc.
A simple method to start with could be one goal in the main areas of life to be achieved in one month,six months,twelve months or five years.Break that down further into a daily,weekly and monthly system.Stay focused and disciplined t0 achieve all that you desire.
51.The simple examples in Paragraph 1 convey the message that___________.
A.goals are setmostlyforimportantthings
B. most people know when it is time to set goals
C.people set goals tO get things done all the time
D.it is necessary tO set goals occasionally

Today all that has changed. On many modern farms machines now supply 96 percent of the power, human labor 3 percent, and horses 1 percent. Modern farms are enterprising businesses which keep only the livestock that can pay its way. The children go to school by bus every morning, the parents work on the farm or in the house, and hired help is seldom needed. Their work has been replaced by a whole army of farm machines.
Farmers in the machine age also use the new fertilizers, new sprays, new feeds, new hybrid seeds, and other helps developed by farm sciences. As a result the farmers are able to produce more food with less labour. This means fewer but larger farms and fewer but more prosperous farmers.
In old days, most of the work on a farm was done by______.
A.all the farm family
B.livestock
C.farm machines
D.both A and B

When I was young, every Indian had at least three names during his lifetime. His first name was given to him at birth. It described something that had happened at that time.
Each Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn money for himself. But his friends would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen.
The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned he would be given his tribal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But if he had done poorly, he might be given a bad name.
A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was very brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some Indians had as many as twelve names - all good and each better than the last.
All names given to one Indian belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away. This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.
According to passage, Indian names were important because they ______.
A.described the character of a man
B.described the appearance of a man
C.were never used by other people
D.told us his profession

When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled in such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming, he or she has a just claim.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show what is wrong with the item he has bought. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work".
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or pubic organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.
When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to ().
A.complain personally to the manager
B.threaten to take the matter to court
C.write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase
D.show their written proof of the purchase to the store

Some of the computer experiments now going inspire imagination of the future. For example, scientists are working in devices that can electronically perform. some sight and hearing functions, which could make easier for the blind and deaf. They are also working on artificial arms and legs that respond to the electric impulses (脉冲) produced by the human brain. Scientists hope that someday a person who has lost an arm could still have near-normal brain control over an artificial arm.
Video games, computerized effects in movies, and real-life training machines now being used by the U. S. Army are causing some people to predict new educational uses for computers. Computers could someday be used to imitate travel to other planets, to explore the ocean floor or to look inside an atom.
Experiment with electronic banking and shopping inspire predictions that these activities will soon be done from home computer terminals (终端) . Cars, too, might be equipped with computers to help drivers find their way around or to communicate with home and office computers.
Many people, including handicapped (残废的) workers with limited ability to move around, already are working at home using computer terminals. Each terminal is connected to a system at a company's main office. Some futurists say the day may come when few people will have to leave home to go to work—they'll just turn on a terminal.
Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?
A.Futurists and Computers
B.A Look at Future Uses of Computers
C.Computer Experiments
D.Scientists and Computers
