Module 2 Great books培优练习题（附答案外研版） 主题阅读 A Dear sir, Just over six months ag o, I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company offered this set at a low price: 15 pounds and 50 pence. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, so I sent for them. Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens which I had not wanted. So I returned the Dickens’ books to you. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of Dickens’ books and a set of the plays of Moliere, in French. I did not read French, and they were not useful at all, so I wrote to you. You did not an swer that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. I have no room for any more books, and I have no time to read them all. Please send no more books, no more bills and no more angry letters for payment. Just send one large truck and take the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the works of Shakespeare for which I have paid. Yours, Simon Walker 根据短文内容判断正（T）误（F）。 ( ) 1.
