There is a story behind how it was first made. One might think that somewhere a genius thought up the first potato chips, but it didn’t happen that way. Picture an elegant restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1853. The Moon Lake Restaurant’s menu included French-fried potatoes, a popular food recipe brought back from France by Thomas Jefferson. These were thickly cut potatoes, fried until golden brown and crisp on the outside. One evening a guest in the dining hall felt that his potatoes were too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. The cook sliced some potatoes thinner than before and prepared them for the complaining guest. He was still not satisfied and sent them back again! By this time the cook was angry and decided to do exactly what the dinner guest wanted: slice the potatoes as thin as possible. Then they would be so crisp that the diner wouldn’t be able to use his fork to eat them. When the paper-thin browned potatoes arrived, the diner was pleased. He was so happy with them that other guests started ordering the new potatoes. The cook’s plan to stop the dinner guest from complaining did not turn out as he had planned. Soon Saratoga Chips appeared on the menu and became so popular that people wanted to take some home. The restaurant started selling small packages of the potato chips. A few years later, they were selling all over the United States. But because the potatoes had to be peeled by hand, it was a time-consuming chore and potato chips were often out of stock. In the 1920s a mechanical potato peeler was invented and soon there were potato chips in abundance. They gradually spread all over the world, and have remained popular ever since. 16.

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Chilkoot Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1,500 stairs carved out of ice? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter? Over 100,000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wilderness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather. The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century. 11. The ordinary woman’s leather shoe is considered unusual because . (A) it was an important clue to life in the past (B) it was found near a famous trail (C) it at one time belonged to a VIP (D) it was a fashionable shoe at that time 12. According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska . (A) eventually became millionaires (B) brought with them many shoes (C) had conflicts with the Eskimos (D) were not properly equipped 13. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that . (A) they would not die of hunger and cold (B) the army would have enough food for fighting a war (C) they could trade these goods with the Eskimos (D) the supplies would make Alaska prosperous 14. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, . (A) she must have lived a happy life (B) she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose (C) her adventurous spirit is definitely admirable (D) her other shoes were equally fashionable 15. The author of this passage would like us to remember that . (A) “gold fever” was not worth the lives of many people (B) simple objects can stimulate our imagination (C) lost shoes should be sent to museums for exhibition (D) Alaska was not a place suitable for making a living

A linguist is always listening, never off-duty. Once I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. Thus, on one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. When they saw the room they were a bit alarmed, for it was laid out as a studio. In front of each easy chair there was a microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. They sat down, rather nervously, and I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink. I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn solemnly counted from one to twenty in their best accent. When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks. I was sternly criticized for having such an idiotic job, and for the rest of the evening there was general jolly conversation—spoilt only by the fact that I had to take a telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time. Or at least that was how it would appear. For, of course, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one, which was turning happily away in the kitchen. The participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. And my lengthy absence meant that I was able to obtain as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find. I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over, and gave them the option of destroying the tape. None of them wanted to—though for some years afterwards I was left in no doubt that I was morally obliged to them, in the sense that it always seemed to be my round when it came to the buying of drinks. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business. 11. Why did the author ask his friends to count from one to twenty? (A) He wanted them to think that was all he wanted to record. (B) He wanted to record how they pronounced numbers. (C) He had to check whether his tape-recorder was working. (D) He wanted to discover who had the best accent.
(A) He had to make a phone call to order some drinks. (B) He didn’t like to be criticized for being idiotic. (C) He wanted to turn off a tape recorder in another room. (D) He wanted the others to have a conversation without him.
(A) On the tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. (B) Through hidden microphones. (C) On a tape-recorder in another room. (D) In a studio.
(A) They wanted him to destroy the recordings he had made. (B) They didn’t really feel offended. (C) They were upset because they felt he had cheated them. (D) They made him pay them for the recordings.
