4．The thing that ________ is not whether you fail or not, but whether you try or not.

A．adopt B．acquire
C．accumulate D．assemble

A．complain B．complain to
s.b.poloC．complain about D．complain of

答案：C oppose doing“反对，反抗”；accuse sb. of sth.“指控某人某事”；object to sth.“反对”；against是介词，不能作谓语动词，如表“反对”的意思需用be against。故选C。
10．As soon as we got there, we ________ repairing the machine.
A．began to B．started to
C．decided to D．got down to
答案：D begin, start及decide后均接不定式作宾语，而get down to中to为介词，后接动名词或名词作宾语，意为“开始、着手做某事”，符合句意，故答案为D。
Ⅴ.阅读理解
A
Nowadays, Korea is influenced by American culture. If you visit Seoul (汉城), you will see a lot of fast food stores in each avenue, places such as KFC, McDonald's, and Burger King.
You will also be surprised to see many western style clothes which are different from our traditional clothes such as the Han Bouk. When you go around department stores, you can see many young students waiting in line to buy famous brands such as 96 New York jeans, Guess, Polo, Guest, Channel, and Cartiers. It is hard to find clothes which represent (代表) traditional Korean culture. There are only a few stores which sell traditional clothing, and these stores are starting to disappear.
