The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office 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 drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all your 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. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”
“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“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 line. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
【小題1】The best title for the article is _______.

A．When the Computer Is DownB．The Most Frightening Words

This year the selfie earned its place as the Oxford English Dictionary’s 2013 Word Of The Year．It has taken over our culture-and our smartphones．The rise of the selfie has become universal-between presidents，celebrities(名人)and citizens alike-and the trend is only continuing to grow.

A recent survey conducted by the Pew Internet＆American Life Project found that 54 percent of Internet have posted original photos online．And of those hundreds of millions of photos， many are of selfie photos．

For example，currently there are nearly 62 million posted selfie

photos on Instagram，the social media tool that has? significantly contributed to the personal photo’s popularity．That figure，which continues to rise every day, does not even begin to include the selfies shared? on Facebook and Twitter.

What makes the selfie so attractive-and why do we feel it a must to take one? According to Dr．Pamela Rutledge，psychologist and director of the Media Psychology Research Center，the desire to take，post and get“l(fā)ikes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior of all humans．

“ I think it influences our sense of social connection in the same way as it does when you go

to a party and people say‘Oh I love your dress，’” Rutledge told The Huffington Post.“Biological，social recognition is a real need and there is even an area of the brain that contributes to social activity．”

There is a way to adapt to the growing selfie culture．Whether you’re a selfie novice or an advanced poster，there are always things to be mindful of when you’re posting，Rutledge advises.

She offered two main principles to follow when it comes to posting on social media:

1．The Grandmother Rule

“Don't post anything online，whether text or visual，that you don't want grandmother or future

employer to see，” Rutledge said．“Selfies especially．”

2．The Elevator Rule

“You wouldn’t say something in an elevator that you or no one else wants to hear—the whole

world of social media is an elevator，” Rutledge said．“Be aware of the breadth of platform．It's easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people，but Instagram is public and people can come across things．”???

1.What's the main idea of the first paragraph?

A．The selfie is taking the lead．???

B．Many people are fond of smartphones．

C．The selfie will take over everything．

D．The selfie is an important new word．

2.According to the passage，people like“selfie”so much，because they___________.

A．need to be acknowledged in social life

B．want to show off their new dresses

C．desire to share good things

D．mean to amuse the public

3.The underlined word“novice”in Paragraph 6 probably means“___________”.

A．publisher??? B．greenhand??? C．novelist???? D．celebrity

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation

When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips .You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again？”

Use association

Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng-tall，black hair”. To reinforce your association, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you.

1.If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may________

A. tell them the truth??????????????????? ????????????? B. tell them a white lie

C. ask him for pity???????????????????? ????????????? D. ask others to help you

2.The underlined word “reinforce” mostly means “______”.

A. get????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? B. simplify????????????? ????????????? ????????????? C. strengthen???? D. collect

3.When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember______

A. all their names????????????????????? ????????????? B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names????????????????? ????????????? D. as many names as possible

4.What does the text mainly tell us?

A. How to recite and repeat names?????? ????????????? ??? B. Importance of attending parties

C. How to make use of associations??????? ????????????? D. Tips on an important social skill

FRANCE has destroyed the hopes of those who had planned to take refuge（避難）in one of the few places on Earth which some believe will be spared when the world ends on December 21 ．Local officials banned access to the Pic de Bugarach，a mountain in the southwest where rumor has it that the hilltop will open on the last day and aliens will appear with spaceships to save nearby humans.

Eric Freysselinard，the state’s top representative in the area，said he was blocking access to the mountain for public safety reasons to avoid a rush of New Age fanatics(盲信者），sight-seers and media crews. Believers say the world will end on December 21，2012，the end date of the ancient Mayan calendar，and they see Bugarach as one of a few sacred mountains sheltered from the cataclysm(大災(zāi)難）．

Mr Freysselinard said the 100 police and firefighters will also control approaches to the tiny village of the same name at the foot of the mountain，and if too many people turn up，they will block access there too.“We are expecting a few people who believe in this end of the world，but in extremely limited numbers，” he said in the. nearby city of Carcassonne.“We are expecting greater numbers of people who are just curious，but in numbers we cannot determine. Above all，we are expecting lots of journalists，”he said.

Films，documentaries and websites have promoted the idea that the ancient Mayan calendar predicts that doomsday is on December 21．The culture ministry in Guatemala-where half the population are of Mayan descent-is hosting a massive event in the capital just in case the world actually does end，while tour groups are promoting doomsday-themed getaways.

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was    morally（道德方面）right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered  misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars.     Let us look at their arguments.

First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil（惡行）.                           

Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.

Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.

There is an opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think the local government department should help the beggars

It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver. 

1.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A．Moral deeds of people.

B．Arguments on giving to beggars.

C．Moral goodness of the giver.

D．Religious activities of the church.

2.What can we infer from the underlined sentence “But has the world changed?” in Para.2 ?

A．People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

B．Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.

C．We don’t meet with those who need help any more.

D．Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

B．Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

C．Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

D．Some beggars need money for their children’s schooling.

4.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because________.

A．there is so much money wasted

B．there are so many beggars

C．the cases can be so different

D．there are so many different arguments
