I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Since I work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unluckily, the theatre 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 trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 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 gave up and went back to the office.
The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town. By Friday, I realized that my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold out all the tickets.
小題1:The writer could go and buy the ticket __________.
A．a(chǎn)ny day before work hours
B．both before and after work hours
C．only during lunch time
D．on Saturday and Sunday
小題2:The writer tried to go to the theatre every day, but was only successful______.
A．twice B．three times
C．four times D．five times
小題3:He failed to get the ticket on Friday because _________.
A．it was impossible to make the round trip to the theatre in 45 minutes
B．the concert wasn’t on Friday
C．it was expensive to take a taxi
D．a(chǎn)ll the tickets had been sold out
小題4:The word "______" can be used instead of the underlined(劃線的)word "relieved".
A．nervous B．terrified C．pleased D．sad

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:D

Our children grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, although my husband and I sometimes sneak one late at night with a glass of milk. I believe that the success of this 31 lovedconcoction(混合物) lies not in the brand of peanut butter,  32  in the jelly. The right jelly  33  the palate, and homemade is the only choice.
My mother-in-law was the jelly maker in this family. This limited choice was a welcome   34  in the days of toddlers, siblings and puppies. All I did was to  35  baby food jars, which my mother-in-law would seal with wax(蠟) and  36  back home with us.  37  I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich , all I had to do was reach for one of little jars. Jelly making was just a way of 38   for my mother-in-law. She always did it, setting the 39  jelly on the shelves .
My father-in-law died several years ago and this past December, she also  40 . Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the  41  canned goods.
The other day I reached my pantry(儲(chǔ)物間) for jelly for a quick sandwich. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly, whose lid was  42  in places.  43   on it were “GR” for grape and the year when the jelly was made.
As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had  44  to see earlier. This was the last jar we would ever have from the  45 , loving hands . We hardly ever opened a jar of jelly at table without  46  about those thousands of little jars she had filled. It seems like such a small thing, and most days it was something that was  47   for granted.
No longer was it just a jar of jelly. It was the end of a family  48 . We have hundreds of pictures and many more memories that we expect to   49  the years and to pass on to our children. The jar of jelly won’t keep that long. It will either have to be eaten or  50  ...but not today.

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic    36 ; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe(假裝) little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very   37 . She didn’t listen to a   38  I said or do the things she should.” In the   39  I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was   40  she’d been put to sit alone and   41 .
My daughter   42  her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know   43  to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never   44  me do the things that I just have to do. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot   45 . And she doesn’t know how to fold towels. I don’t have the   46  to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play —   47  what I mean?”
And that day I thought a lot about making some   48  in my life, as I listened to her words that   49  me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most   50 . I’d been caught up in responsibilities that increased   51  years.
But now my   52  has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different light through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs（蜘蛛網(wǎng)）  53  the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them   54 .
I’m going to fill the house with   55  of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.

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 at the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do you 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 right, 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 is 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 are still flying, aren’t they?”
“I can’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 desk screen. “Only IT knows. It can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
小題1:The word “down” in the sentence ‘Our computer is down.’ means _____________.
A．fallingB．downcastC．dropD．dead
小題2:The best title of the article is _________.
A．Asking the Computer
B．The Computer of the Airport
C．The Most Frightening Words

小題3:What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?
A．She could answer the passengers’ questions
B．She could do nothing.
