Question

I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film Titantic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that ticket could be bought at the cinema box office (售票處) in Richland Hill every day between 10:00 and 4:00. Because I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round(往返) trip in 45 minute.
Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip---- so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car.it was not cheap,but I felt it would be worth ot to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.

【主旨大意】由于工作地點(diǎn)和交通的不便，“我”為了弄到《泰坦尼克號(hào)》的電影票，費(fèi)勁周折。結(jié)果卻竹籃打水。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由第一段“I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good”可知。
2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題 通讀文章可知，星期一、四由于汽車(chē)晚點(diǎn)，不能在上班時(shí)間趕回來(lái)沒(méi)去成，星期四乘汽車(chē)去成，星期五乘小汽車(chē)去成。
3.推理題 由于“看到售票處無(wú)人排隊(duì)，當(dāng)然非常高興”
4. 整體理解題 通讀文章可知結(jié)合第一段可知作者在9:00到5：30上班，二售票的時(shí)間是10:00到4:00.�？芍�在上班前和下班后都不能買(mǎi)到票。
5.歸納總結(jié)題 由于工作地點(diǎn)和交通的不便，“我”為了弄到《泰坦尼克號(hào)》的電影票，第一次到達(dá)售票處但排隊(duì)的人無(wú)功而返；第二次到達(dá)，卻票已售完。因此用Tickets Sold out做文章題目能按時(shí)作者的失望心情。
