三、阅读单选

    I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend’s house. It was just after four o’clock. I got quickly into the lift (电梯) and pressed Button (按钮) 12.

The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn’t understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.

Then suddenly the light went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm (火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, “Just get me out of here. I’ll never be bad again.”

Just then, I realized (意识到) the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. “How long have you been in the lift? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven’t you learned to read at your school?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said: “Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4p.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday March 13.”

    Mr. Jones opened a shop in Aston to sell writing-paper, pencils and things like that. During the first month, very few people visited his shop. He sold little, and he could see that he was going to lose money.

One night, Mr. Jones sat by the fire and was worried after another very bad day. Suddenly he got an idea. He found a piece of wood and wrote to the following notice on it in big letters:

“WHAT DO YOU THINK I GIVE AWAY PENCILS AND PAPER AND INK”

He put up the notice in front of the shop window before he went to bed. He slept better than usual that night. The following day, many people came to the shop. Mr. Jones said good morning to them all with a bright smile and asked the first woman what she wanted.

She chose some writing paper and a pencil. As soon as he put them on her hands, she turned to leave the shop.

“That will be thirty cents(美分）, please,”  he said.

“Why?” she asked in surprise.

“That’s the price of the paper and the pencil.”

“But your notice says it’s free,” she answered.

“Oh no,” he said, “how can I make any money if everything is free?”

She took him outside and showed him the notice “It is wrong, too,” she said. “Where is the question mark after the word ‘think’?”

“There isn’t a question mark,” he said.

“But there should be one.”

“I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake,” Mr. Jones said. “You’ve read my notice in the wrong way.”

“Not at all,” said the woman. “It is quite easy to read. It says: What do you think? I give away pencils and paper and ink!”

“No,” Mr. Jones said. “You should read it like this: ________. And the answer to the question is: Certainly not! So you really have to pay me thirty cents, you see.”

A．Confident(自信的). B．Unhappy. C．Terrible. D．Worried.

C．The woman paid the money unwillingly and left the shop angrily.

    Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates(版块) of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains (山脉), too.

During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed(破坏).

Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against (对抗) earthquakes.

In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.

Whether we are going to school or going to work, we are all sad to leave the weekend behind and go back to our Monday morning blues (沮丧情绪). But with the tips, you can get over those blues and face Monday mornings with a smile.

Love what you do. If you love what you do, then you won't fear Monday mornings as much. Loving your job will make you look forward to the week ahead. Try to find something positive (积极的) in your workplace. It could be a friend, a partner, or the work you do in general. The important thing is to keep a positive attitude (态度) at work.

Do what gives you feelings of comfort, while remembering your responsibilities (责任) for the day. This will help you cheer yourself up for the day ahead. If the clock rings and you still feel sleepy, stay in for five minutes. However, don’t stay past five minutes, as it will only make you feel even lazier for your day. When you get up, make a cup of coffee and put on some music. This will help you feel energetic.

Try to give yourself a little something extra. A good reward for Monday would be a treat you wouldn't have the rest of the week. On Fridays, plan a night out for films or dinner. This will give you a little break from the rest of the week. This way, you will know that even if you're working hard, you will have something good waiting for you at the end of the week.

On Sunday night, I go to bed early. Your mind will react (反应) quickly on Monday morning. If you wake up early, you will have more time to get ready for the day. Being stressed during Monday mornings is only going to add to your blues.

Get yourself organized on Friday evening. Before you leave your workplace on Friday, you should take care of all the things you need to, so you won't be so stressed on Monday morning. This way, you can start the week right.

Follow these simple tips and you will be able to beat those Monday morning blues soon.
