One day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to New York and the girl in the ticket o

ffice said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down."

"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."

"I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."

I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do？'

"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."

"So when it goes down, you go down with it."

"That's good, sir. '

"How long will the computer be down？" I wanted to know.

"I have no idea. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer."

After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes？ They're still flying, aren't they？"

"I wouldn't know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT'knows. 'It'can't tell me.

By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

The best title for the article is______.

A．When the Computer Is Down

B．How to buy a ticket

C．The Computer of the Airport

D．Asking the Computer

"Here is the reading of your uncle's will", said the lawyer, "telling what is to be clone with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point.

第8题

When I was 13 my mother died. Through my own sorrow I was aware of the great loss this was

to Pop. But he made only one reference to his own misery. He said, "To be happy every day is to be not happy at all." He was saying to his sons that happiness is not a state you achieve and keep, but something that must be won over and over, no matter what the defeats and losses.

Later that year I got a job as an entertainer in small clubs, and suddenly I knew this was the career I had been searching for. The world of the theater was far removed from the world of my father, yet I found myself returning to him time and again, for the same reason his friends did.

When I was 20 I got what every actor dreams of—a permanent job! At that time, at the depth of the depression, actors were out of work by the hundreds, yet I wanted to quit that job because I needed new experiences and challenges.

Pop heard me out, then said, "There are some people who always have to test themselves, to stretch their wings and try new winds. If you think you can find more happiness and usefulness this way, then you should do it." This advice came from a man who never left a secure job in his life, who had the European tradition of family responsibility, but who knew I was different. He understood what I needed to do and he helped me do it.

For the next few years I worked in clubs, and then I got my big break, appearing in a major movie. After that I went to Hollywood, and from then on Pop lived with me and my family there. We had a big party one evening. That night I thought Pop might enjoy hearing some of the old folk songs we used to sing at home. When I began to sing, the music and the memories were too much for him to resist, and he came over to join me. I faded away, and he was in the middle of the room singing alone—in a clear, true voice. He sang for 15 minutes before some of the world's highest-paid stars. This simple, kindly old man singing of our European roots had touched something deep in these sophisticated people. When he finished there was overwhelming applause.

I knew the applause that night was not just for a performance; it was for a man.

By saying "to be happy every day is to be not happy at all", Pop means ______.

A．one should not be happy every day

B．it is impossible for one to be happy every day

C．people should not pursue happy life alone

D．people should have a realistic attitude toward life

第11题

One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Street, when I remembered that it was necessa

ry to buy a pair of socks. Why I wished to buy only one pair is unimportant. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward, "What can I do for you, sir？" "I wish to buy a pair of socks." His eyes shone. There was a lot of excitement in his voice, "Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks？" I had no idea of that, as my entrance had been accidental(偶然的). "Come with me," said the boy, eagerly. I followed him to the back of the shop, and he began to pull down from the shelves box after box showing their socks for my choice.

"Hold on, lad, 1 am going to buy only one pair？ "I know that," said he, "but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren't they wonderful!' There was on his face an expression of seriousness and pride and delight as if he were showing to me the secret of his religion(宗教). I became far more interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in surprise. "My friend," said I, "if you can keep this up, if this is not just from a new job, if you can keep up this high spirit and excitement day after day, in ten years you will win every sock shop in the United States."

What did the writer want to buy one fine afternoon？

A．A pair of shoes.

B．A pair of socks.

C．Two pairs of shoes.

D．Two pairs of socks.
