Mr. Phanourakis knew no language except his own but, with the self-confidence of a mountain villager, he made his way easily about the ship. When the bell announced the serving of lunch on his first day on board he found the number of his table from the list outside the dining-room and went straight to his table while many of the other passengers crowded helplessly round the chief steward waiting to be told where their tables were.
It was a small table for two. Mr. Phanourakis sat down. After a few minutes his table--companion arrived. "Bon appetit, m’sieur," he murmured politely, as he took the other chair.
Mr. Phanourakis looked at him quickly and then smiled. "Phanourakis," he said, carefully spacing out the Greek syllables.
During the afternoon, one of the ship's officers, who spoke a little Greek, asked Mr. Phanourakis whether he had found any acquaintances on board.
The old man shook his head. "The only person I've met is my table-companion," he said. "I think he's French. His name is Bonappetit."
"That is not a name," said the officer gently. "It is a French expression that means 'good appetite'."

A.to live the rest of his life with them
B.and stay with them for a few years
C.to help them run their restaurant
D.to see how rich they had become
In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or
ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man
so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him
feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to
explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back
their tears, of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and
see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock
classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the
English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come
with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him
to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.”
I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the
least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out
those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was
wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the
cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from
the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he
said, “The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”
What is the passage mainly discussing?
A. Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.
B. Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.
C. Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.
D. Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.
"How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
"Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street."
"Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one." The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known." This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.
What is an advertisement?
A.A news item.
