8 . Prince Diana was known for her habit many people today don’t pay attention to, but a new study shows you might want to reconsider.

While performing her royal duties as the Princess of Wales, Diana made time to write thank-you letters. In the book Diana: Her True Story, the author Andrew Morton wrote about Diana’s determination to send thank-you cards, noting that after her royal wedding to Prince Charles in 1981 she “sat down and answered many of the 47.000 letters of congratulation and 10,000 gifts which the wedding generated (产生) ” , with the help of extra staff.

It turned out that Diana understood the significance (意义) of a thank-you card much more than others do. According to a recent study, many people underestimate (低估) the value of a thank-you letter and how much happiness the recipient (接受者) will get from it.

The author of Modern Etiquette (礼仪) for a Better Life, notes that what stands out about a thank-you note compared with a text or email is the time that goes into the act. “It is a special touch,” she said. “It’s going above and beyond what is generally expected because it means that you’ve taken some extra step.”

If you’re now feeling like sending a thank-you card to someone for a gift, for a favor or simply for their time, we have a few suggestions. Jacqueline Whitmore, an etiquette expert says that you shouldn’t be discouraged if you are a bit delayed (延迟) in sending out a note of appreciation.

“A late thank-you note is better than none at all,” she said. Also, a tone that’s warm and friendly along with personal stationery (信纸) for more of a signature look should be included.

It won’t be from Kensington Palace, but it will still have an original touch.

1. Why do many people pay no attention to sending thank-you letters?

A．Because they think it hard to do so.

B．Because they are not from royal families

C．Because they attach less value to a thank-you letter.

D．Because they have no congratulation letters to answer.

2. What does the author mainly want to express in Para. 4?

A．The process of writing a thank-you letter.

B．The difficulty in writing a thank-you letter.

C．The similarity of a thank-you letter to that of a text or email

D．The difference between a thank-you letter and a text or email.

3. What is Jacqueline Whitmore’s suggestion about a thank-you letter?

A．Posting the letter with a gift.

B．Sending the letter at a later time.

C．Using a tone that’s warm and friendly.

D．Stopping sending the letter when it is too late.

4. What does the author think of Princess Diana’s habit of sending thank-you letters?

A．Unbelievable.	B．Doubtful.
C．Interesting.	D．Admirable.

9 . “Yard sale” is appealing to bargain hunters, antique seekers and so on. It may seem simple.     1     Here, what you need to know, do and plan for in order to hold a great event.

Plan in advance. Have you decided you’re going to have a yard sale? Great!     2     In addition to gathering up and assessing your things, placing signs around the neighborhood, you also need to find out whether your city requires a permit and whether your other neighborhood organization has rules about yard sales.

Get help. You probably don’t want to do this all alone since your attention will be spread pretty thin during busy sale periods. Ask a couple of friends, neighbors or family members to help you out with set-up, running the register or clean-up -or better yet, to add their own things to the sale.     3    .

    4    If you’re going to the trouble of attempting to sell your stuff, make it look attractive so it actually sells well. Wipe down appliances, wash, iron and hang clothing, and lay everything out nice and neat on clean tables and shelves, not in piles.

Be safe.     5     Do not let people enter your house to try on clothes or use the bathroom, and keep your doors locked. Don’t take personal checks from strangers, and rather than a cash box anybody could grab, keep earnings on your person in a fanny-pack-type device or safely in your pocket. Take periodic trips inside to put the cash.

A．Make it look appealing.

B．Put your stuff on the table individually.

C．The following tips can give you a hand.

D．Now give yourself at least one month to pull it together.

E．Multi-family or neighborhood-wide sales draw more buyers.

F．But a yard sale does require some knowledge and effort to be a success.

G．Remember, there are some strangers simply coming over to browse your goods.
