Mrs. Creighton was overjoyed, 24 tears running down her cheeks，“Oh，thats just wonderful, Frank!” There was 25 for a moment, and then Frank said, “Mother, I want to ask you something important to me.

And I would like to know if it would be all right if he could stay with us. He has 28 else to go.” His mother assured him it would be all right. Then Frank said, “You see, he was 29 in battle.

I wanted to save it, but my cursor(光标) had frozen. I tried to shut the puter down, and it seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out.Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a crucial（紧要关头） undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my puter back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD.I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs. But no Windows CD in there. I was forced to call the puter panys Global Support Centre. My call was answered by a woman in some unnamed, far-off land. I find it annoying to make small talk with someone when I dont know what continent theyre standing on. Suppose I were to ment on the beautiful weather weve been having when there was a monsoon(季风) at the other end of the phone? So I got right to the point.My puter is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but I dont have the Windows Setup CD.So youre having a problem with your Windows Setup CD. She has apparently been dozing and, having e to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention.It quickly became clear that the woman was not a puter technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper. Her only duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels.To make me disappear, the woman gave me the phone number for Windows creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I dont know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didnt have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and polite.When myvoicehit a certain decibel (分贝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician.You dont have the Windows Setup CD, maam, because you dont need it, he explained cheerfully.Windows came preinstalled on your puter!But I do need it.Yes, but you dont have it. We went on like this for a while. Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. Of course, youd lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos. It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive. He sounded delighted. And its not covered by the warranty (产品保证书)! The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.I hung up the phone and drove my puter to a small, friendly repair place Id heard about. A smart, helpful man dug out a Windows CD and told me it wouldnt be a problem. An hour later, he called to let me know it was ready. I thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his.56. Why did the author shut down her puter abruptly?A. She had saved what she had written. B. She couldnt move the cursor.C. The puter refused to work. D. The puter offered to repair itself.57. Which of the following is the authors opinion about the woman at the Global Support Centre?A. She sounded helpful and knowledgeable. B. She was there to make callers frustrated.C. She was able to solve her puter problem. D. She was quick to pass her along to a technician.58. According to the passage, the solution offered by the technician was_.A. effective B. economical C. unpractical D. unacceptedBBelow is some interesting news from a newspaper:Girls Crazy Historical CostumesStella Ehrhart, a US third-grader, dresses up as a different historical figure every day before school-yes, you heard right! The 8-year-old has been ing to class in a different persona (人物) daily since the second day of second grade, when she showed up as American author Laura Ingalls Wilder. Stella gets ideas for what to wear from the book 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century. However, in the past she has also dressed up as fictional characters including Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. The eager student managed to get through the entire second grade without repeating herself, but now she is running out of ideas. The girls parents, who are both theater professionals, say they support their daughters “creativity”. Her mother told UK news website The Huffington Post, “She goes into her closet and just picks out what she wants each day.”Learning SoarsHow do you get a childs early education off the ground? A head teacher in the Georgian city of Rustavi has found a unique way of creating an exciting learning environment. He has transformed a plane into a kindergarten. Gari Chapidze bought an old but functional Yakovlev Yak-42 from Georgian Airways and filled it with education equipment, games and toys, but left the cockpit (驾驶舱) untouched so it could be used as a play area. “The idea was to create a kindergarten where children gowith joy,” Chapidze, who runs the kindergarten, told AFP. “The children e in to the kindergarten with pleasure and cry when they have to go home. They are happy here,” he added.Taxi Driver Gets Lucky in Las VegasBright lights and big wins-this is what Las Vegas is known for, and even the taxi drivers here get lucky. Well, at least recently one did. Adam Woldemarim, 42, discovered $ 221,510 in the back of his van after a long day at work. The money was in a laptop case left between the seats of the Virgin Valley cab. What did Woldemarim do with the cash? He turned it in. The Ethiopian driver soon got a call from the cases owner who, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, had “won big” and was on his way to the airport when he realized he had forgotten his winnings. Woldemarim was given a $ 2,000 reward. But it was reported that the drivers fellow taxi drivers thought he should have got a lot more.Eat Crickets (蟋蟀) and Worms at a MuseumThe Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia is putting on a night for meat eaters who want to try some unusual foods.

Las Vegas only brings luck for the poorD. all the girls love fancy clothes and costumesCThe Philippines is fast being the worlds low-cost English language teacher - with rapid increases in overseas students ing to learn English or study in English-speaking universities. There might be other countries that people think about as a classic place to learn English, such as the UK, the US or Australia. But there is one key reason that they are switching to the Philippines. Its much cheaper. We have very petitive rates pared with other countries, says English teacher, Jesy King, citing her schools fees of $500 (313) for a 60-hour class-about a third of the price of an equivalent course in the US or Canada.Another major advantage is the accent. Filipinos speak with a clear American accent - partly because the Philippines were a US colony for five decades, and partly because so many people here have spent time working in call centers for the US market. These centers train their staff to sound indistinguishable from Americans, so callers never realize that the person theyre speaking to is on the other side of the world.Student numbers are growing rapidly. And its not just English language students who are ing to the Philippines - theres also been a rapid increase in the number of foreigners applying for graduate and post-graduate courses in all kinds of fields. The main reasons that attract them are, again, the cost - and the fact that, in the countrys top universities, all classes are held in English.Dr Alvin Culaba, the executive vice-president of De La Salle - one of the countrys top universities - is confident that the level of teaching in his institution can pete with that found anywhere in the world. Our programs are very parable, or sometimes even better, than in the US and Europe, he says. De La Salle already has a lot of students from China and Japan, but theres recently been an increase in Europeans. Elizaveta Leghkaya, a Russian engineering student, is one of them. She looked at courses in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but the program at De La Salle was a quarter of the price of the others. Here its much cheaper, and Im really confident that the qualification Ill get is just the same, she says. She had found other benefits of studying in the Philippines too. Its a good experience, as its a different style of life than Id get in Europe. Its interesting to learn the culture. But studying in the Philippines isnt for the faint-hearted. Living here means coping with the bureaucracy and corruption (官僚腐败), and if youre in Manila, the heavy pollution. And then theres the fact that many Filipinos speak a rather different language than the rest of the English-speaking world. The Philippines markets itself as being the third largest English-speaking nation - after the US and the UK - a fact proudly displayed on the Department of Tourism website. And in a way, thats true. Most people speak at least basic English, and the well-educated speak it fluently. But a lot of people speak Taglish - a mix of English and the local language Tagalog - which is often difficult for foreigners to understand. For a foreign student trying to learn English, this will undoubtedly present some challenges.51.From the above passage we can learn that _.A. the fact that the local people speak Taglish is an attraction to foreignersB. the education quality in Russia is far behind that of the PhilippinesC. not all the foreign students go to the Philippines to learn EnglishD. only students from China and Japan like to study in the Philippines52. One advantage about studying in the Philippines is that _.A. the living costs there are much lower than other countriesB. people there speak English with an American accentC. student numbers are growing rapidly thereD. De La Salle there is a very good university53.The method the writer uses to develop Paragraph 4 is _.A. providing explanationsB. offering analysesC. listing dataD. giving examples54.Which of the following best describes the writers tone in the passage?A. Approving B. ObjectiveC. CriticalD. DoubtfulDAs I write this, I have half an eye on an old James Bond film that is showing on my puter. But this is a story about how I stopped watching TV and began reading again for pleasure, after ten years in which I hardly turned a page.I suppose I was an enthusiastic reader of literature between the ages of nine and fourteen. I had enough time to be White Fang, Robinson Crusoe, and Bilbo Baggins and Jeeves. Of course there was room in the schoolboys imagination for some real historical figures: Scott of the Antarctic, all of the Vikings, and Benjamin Franklin were good friends of mine.Then, in adolescence, I began a long search for strange and radical (激进的) ideas. I wanted to challenge my elders and betters, and shock my fellow students with amazing points of view. Of course, the only place to look was in books. I hunted out the longest titles and the authors with the funniest names; I searched the library for pletely unread books. Then I found one which became my bible for the whole of 1982, it had a title posed of eleven long words and an author whose name I didnt know how to pronounce. It was really thick and looked dead serious. Even better, it put forward a whole world-view that would take days to explain. Perfect. I took it out of the library three times, proud to see the date-stamps lined up on the empty library insert.Later, I went to university. Expecting to spend long evenings in learned discussion with clever people, I started reading philosophy. For some reason I never found the deep-thinking intellectuals I hoped to meet. Anyway, I was ready to impress with my profound (深奥的) knowledge of post-structuralism, existentialism and situationism. These things are usually explained in rather short books, but they take a long time to get through. They were the end of my youthful reading.Working life was hard to get used to after so much theory. It was the end of books for me. There didnt seem to be much in books that would actually get things done. To do things you had to answer the telephone and work a puter. You had to travel about and speak to people who werent at all interested in philosophy. I didnt stop reading, you cant avoid that. I read all day. But no books came my way, only manuals (操作手册) and contracts and documents. Maybe most people satisfy their need for stories and ideas with TV and, to tell the truth, it wa
