At the outbreak of war in September 1939, Doreen Luke was fifteen years old and had just begun work as an apprentice (學徒) in a department store selling clothing and household goods in her hometown of Bodmin in Cornwall. Doreen recalls the first day of war, “My mother was in the process of cooking the Sunday dinner when the Prime Minister announced over the radio that we were at war with Germany… From then on everything changed in our lives. Suddenly there was a different atmosphere.”

During the first years of the war, Doreen was part of a concert party that entertained civilians and service personnel in Cornwall. Although Doreen made effort for the war through her work in entertainment, she was eager to become involved with the war effort in a more direct way, “ My seventeenth birthday came in January 1941. Many of my friends were joining the Forces. I was becoming very restless. In any case soon at the age of eighteen I would be called up to go and work in a factory or to do some other vital war work but that didn’t appeal to me. I was more adventurous than that!”

Realizing that the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force(WAAF)was recruiting (招募) wireless operators, Doreen quickly made up her mind. At the age of eighteen, she received her call-up papers and became a member of the WAAF. After one year’s training, Doreen became a wireless operator at Bletchley Park and began work in the Auto Room. Doreen recalls her first visit to Bletchley and the secrecy essential to her work, “I didn’t realize when I first stepped into that room that I was going to be a part of a very secret department. In fact I didn’t know that until fifty years after the war.”

(Reuters) --- A stampede killed at least 36 people during New Year's Eve celebrations in Shanghai, authorities said, but the police denied reports that it was caused by people rushing to pick up fake money thrown from a building overlooking the city's famous waterfront.

It was the worst disaster in the modern city since 58 died in an apartment building fire in 2010.

The cause of the crush has still to be confirmed, though state media and some witnesses have said it was at least partly aroused when people rushed to pick up coupons that looked like bank notes.

A man named Wu said the fake money had been thrown down from a bar above the street as part of the celebrations.

"This incident happened after the stampede," police said in a brief statement, without saying what the real cause was.

Another witness said there had been a problem away from the area where the fake bills were thrown, with people trying to get on to a raised platform overlooking the river.

Xinhua news agency said that people had been trampled on after falling down on the steps up to the platform.

Authorities had shown some concern about crowd control in the days leading up to New Year's Eve. They recently canceled an annual 3D laser show on the Bund, which last year attracted as many as 300,000 people.

On New Year's Eve, Beijing also canceled a countdown event in the central business district, Chinese media said, due to police fears about overcrowding.

The Shanghai government said on its official microblog that an inquiry had begun, and that all other New Year events had been canceled.

In 2004, 37 people died in a stampede in northern Beijing, on a bridge at a scenic spot, during the Lunar New Year holiday.

A. To meet their old friends and relatives.

B. To pick up bank notes.

C. To watch an annual 3D laser show.

D. To celebrate the New Year’s Eve.

2.Which of the following statements is true from the passage?

A. The incident had connection with the throwing of fake money.

B. People got on the platform to watch a countdown event.

C. The cause of the crush is being looked into.

D. The disaster during the New Year’s Eve was the worst in Shanghai.

A. The local government had shown their worry about overcrowding.

B. People like 3D laser show better than any other events.

C. Some possible measures had been taken by authorities.

D. The celebrations in Beijing were influenced by this stampede.
