3．A woman planning"Harry Potter night"at a supper club she runs at home has been forced to change their name after a warning from film studio Warner Bros（華納兄弟）．
    The evenings in Kiburn，north London，were due to include food  and other elements from the Harry Potter books．However，Warner Bros，maker of the Harry Potter films，wrote to the club's organizer"Ms Marmite Lover"warning that the parties would infringe（侵犯）its rights．
    The club will now hold two"Genetic Wizard nights"for Halloween．On her blog，Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer．
    Guests would have to enter the venue，called the Underground Restaurant，through"Diagon Alley"and by giving a password-while a"Sorting Hat"would decide the seating plan．
    After Warner Bros learned about the ticketed（被加標(biāo)簽）event．it wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying："While we are delighted that you are such a fun of the Harry Potter series，unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry  Potter Properties without our permission would amount to an infringement of Wamer's rights．"
     The letter added："Warner does not，of course，object to you holding a generic wizard/Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant．"
     Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog："JK Rowling herself，having at one time been a struggling single parent，and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families，would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial （企業(yè)家的）and creative"．
     The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each，except alcohol．Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories．
     The vast majority of non-commercial events are able to go ahead with the studio's support，it says．
46．Mr．Marmite Lover had to change their name becauseA．
  A．the use of the name infringed Warner's rights
  B．JK Rowling didn't approve of their doing so
  C．the Underground Restaurant charged too much
  D．the sold tickets to whoever attends the supper club

  C．a(chǎn) cooking-book writer              D．a(chǎn) single parent

11．It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant．My cap had gone away，and my feet hurt．The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier．Tired and discouraged，I didn't seem able to do anything right．As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times，I was ready to stop．Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip．"Well done，"he said，"you've looked after us really well．"Suddenly my tiredness disappeared．I smiled back，and later，when the manager asked me how I'd liked my first day，I said，"Fine!"Those few words of praise had changed everything．Praise is like sunlight to human spirit； we cannot flower and grow without it．And yet，most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism，but are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise．Perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure．
It's strange how   chary  we are about praising．Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept it．It's especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed．An artist gets admired for a glorious picture，a cook for a perfect meal．But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right？In fact，to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort．
21．Which of the following Can't describe the writer's situation before she got her tip？D
A．She was tired．
B．She was busy．
C．She was sorry．
D．She was confident．
22．According to the passage，which of the following is least likely to be given praise？D
A．An artist．
B．A cook．
C．A waitress．
D．A laundry manager．
23．The underlined word"chary"in Paragraph 2most probably meansC．
A．cautious              
B．careful               
C．unwilling          
D．greedy
24．What is the best title of the passage？C
A．Why Do You Praise Others？
B．Why do You Criticize Others？
C．Be Generous to Give Others Praise!
D．Don't Criticize Others!
