• In the days before Diana became accustomed to daily hairdressers, high fashion and expertly applied makeup, she looked her best when she was wearing her least. No frilly blouses concealed her elegant neck, carefully cut skirts her long legs, or bulky sweaters her well-rounded figure. She was young and not fully aware of just how attractive she could be. But if she wanted to impress a young man, any young man, she always made it a point to go swimming or sailing or, at the very least, play a game of tennis.

  When Prince Charles saw her aboard Britannia at Cowes in the late summer of 1980, he wasn't however particularly interested. She belonged to his younger brother Andrew's set, and had come aboard, not at Chariest s invitation, but with Lady Sarah Armstrong Jones, his cousin and sixteen years his junior. Diana was three years older than Sarah, but still almost a generation away. And besides, Charles had his mind on other things—most particularly the breakup of his romance with the beautiful but self-willed Anna Wallace. There was also the fact that if he noticed Diana in anything more than passing, he thought about her as the sister of one of his former girlfriends—Lady Sarah Spencer—who had recently married (he hadn't attended), and whatever others might have been plotting he most certainly was not thinking of renewing his romantic links with the Spencer girls. But if Charles was not instantly enchanted by the fresh, gambolling nineteen-year-old who spent some days aboard the Royal Yacht, his staff were. "She was so unassuming and so natural,' one recalls. And in the manner of all servants, particularly ones who are in the employ of the bachelor Prince, they inevitably started speculating amongst themselves if she was the one for what they called "the job". So, it seems, did Diana. At the age of sixteen she had jokingly told a friend that she was "out to get' Charles. But that may have been just romantic fantasizing on the part of a young girl whose main reading was the soapy romances penned by her step-grandmother, the redoubtable Barbara Cartland. The Prince's late valet, Stephen Barry; insisted however: "She went after the Prince with single-minded determination. She wanted him—and she got him!" She had, of course, met him many times before in the years of her childhood spent as a near-neighbour of the Windsors at Sandringham when Charles used to pop his head round the nursery door where she was having tea with Andrew and Edward, or during a shooting party on Sandringham Estate where at the age of sixteen she was reintroduced to him by her sister Sarah. More recently she had encountered him at polo. But then he had always been busy or with a girlfriend in tow. This time he was alone. She made sure Charles was watching when she bravely followed his example and went windsurfing in the ehoppy and not-too-warm waters of the Solent. Naturally flirtatious, she made sure he noticed her long slim legs and trim figure. And he could not fail but start to take an interest—if only a comparative one—in the beautiful younger sister of a former girlfriend. Accounts of this first meeting vary. Some claim that it is where the famous romance began. Others insist that his interest was but a mild one; that with Anna still in mind, the timing was wrong and he simply regarded her as a new and pretty addition to his surprisingly limited circle of friends. But she had certainly impressed him enough for him to invite her up to Balmoral shortly afterwards. Diana accepted with alacrity. To impress a young man, Diana might choose to play a game of tennis, because ______. A．she was a highly skilled tennis player B．she looked attractive in her tennis outfit C．she preferred tennis to swimming D．her hair-style. was fashionably designed

• It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure how much tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things：whether the man is married;how many children he has;whether he supports any relations，how much interest he receives，how much he has spent on his house during the year，and so on. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.There was an artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.

  One year，after posting his check as usual，he began to wonder if he had paid enough，and after a lot of work，with a pencil and paper，he found that he had not. He thought that he owed the government something. He was just writing another check to send it to the tax collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it，the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax collector. The official explained that too much had been paid，and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer. 11. According to the passage，to decide the exact amount of tax to be paid is ____________. A. simple B. easy C. difficult D. interesting 12. It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according to ____________. A. how much education one has received B. whether one is single or married C. how old one’s children are D. where one lives 13. The word “proper” in the second paragraph means __________. A. small B. big C. right D. wrong 14. After a lot of work，the artist thought that he had paid the government ____________. A. less tax than he should have B. more tax than he should have C. as much tax as usual D. just enough tax 15. Why did the tax collector send a letter to the artist？ A. To send him a new tax form. B. To return the money overpaid. C. To remind him of paying the tax. D. To explain the rules of tax paying.
