Mr. And Mrs. Wu were fed up with their neighbor. He was always borrowing things from them.
“It’s not right,” Mr Wu said to his wife one evening. “ At some time or another that man has borrowed nearly everything we have. Almost every day he comes over to borrow something.”
“You’re quite right,” his wife replied, “and most of the things he’s never returned.”
“What I want to know,” her husband said, “ is why can’t he buy the things he needs, like everyone else?”
“Because people like us are foolish enough to lend him what he needs,” she replied. “As long as we are willing to lend, he’ll keep on borrowing.”
“Then we’ll never lend him anything again,” Mr Wu said. “The next time he asks to borrow something, I’ll say no.”
“We must have a good reason for saying no,” his wife said, “and we must always try to be polite to him. We don’t want to make an enemy of the man.”
It was not long before their decision not to lend their neighbor anything ever again was put to the test. The next morning there was a knock on the door. Mr Wu went to answer it. Their neighbor was standing there. Mr Wu knew he was going to ask to borrow something, and was ready to refuse him politely.
“Good morning,” their neighbor said, “I’m sorry to trouble you , but I wonder if I could borrow your garden scissors.”
“I’m sorry,” Mr Wu said, “but I’m afraid my wife and I will be using them today. We’ll be spending all day working in the garden.”
“Oh, I see,” the neighbor said, “in that case, may I borrow your golf clubs? You won’t be needing them if you’re working in the garden all day, will you?”

Everybody uses A.M. and P.M. to mean before noon and after noon. But do you know exactly what they mean and how they came into being?
We know that the turning of the earth makes the sun and stars seem to move across the sky. Daylight, of course, begins with the sun rising in the east and end with the sun setting in the west. Being high in the sky, between these two positions, the sun has travelled a quarter journey, and half of the daylight hours have been spent.
Therefore, by noticing where the sun stood in the sky, early man learned how to tell the time of the day. At night, the stars, were observed. He could also know the time.
The important thing in keeping time is to know the exact moment of noon. For each of us, wherever we are, noon is when the sun is directly overhead. Think of an imaginary line, a meridian(子午线)drawn across the sky, going from the north point of your horizon down to the south point.
When the sun crosses your meridian, it is noon for you. When the sun still lies to the east of your meridian, it is morning. After the sun has crossed this meridian , it is afternoon.
The Latin word for “midday” is meridiem, from which comes our word ante meridiem, whose short form is A.M., which means before midday. P.M. is the short form for post meridian, meaning after midday.
61. The English word “meridian” means ______.
A. ante meridiem in Latin B. P.M. in Latin
C. Post metidiem in Latin D. meridiem in Latin

63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

B. P.M. is the short form for post meridiem in Latin standing for “in English”.
C. Daylight begins with the sun rising in the west and ends with the sun setting in the east.
D. Meridiem in Latin comes from our word meridian.
64. It is the exact moment of noon _____.
A. that the sun crosses the imaginary line
B. when the sun still lies to the east of the meridian
C. after the sun has crossed the imaginary line
D. when the sun is not directly overhead.

These days we know a lot about pollution in the air or water. But we are not so familiar with the pollution from noise, and especially with its psychological effects(心理效果). The physical effects are not surprising. We may become deaf if we live with great noise all the time. Scientists think that noise has a great effect on people’s mind. They say that in noisy situations, people get angry more easily, they cannot work hard, and many of them have psychological problems.
Scientists can tell the difference between “sound” and “noise”. Sound is measured(测量) physically, but noise cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the physical effect of sound and its level(水平) depends on (取决于) the situation. Sound may become noise if it makes us feel hard.
