阅读理解。     In Cardiff I was put to work in furniture department at one of the local stores. It was large, fairly out
of date, run , like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a member of the
store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the
store, were naturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I
was pleased, but if I didn"t, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had
no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasn"t too diligent about that either.
      One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity by scolding me of trying to steal one of
his customers. Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the
stockroom with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started
dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to "put them up".
I couldn"t put anything up-I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six-inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) ,
helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members" store for a
conciliatory (和解) cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store. Thank God! 1. The furniture department was run by _____. A. the author"s parents
B. the author"s relatives
C. some members of a big family
D. the local government2. The shop in Cardiff ______. A. was big and very modern
B. was old but beautiful
C. didn"t sell furniture only
D. was famous in London3. The author was lucky because ________. A. sales figures were not important for him
B. he was younger than the others
C. he produced good sales figures
D. his pay was higher 4. One salesman thought that ______ . A. the author was more of an observer than a real member of the store
B. what the author had said was far from the truth
C. the author tried to get a person to buy the furniture dishonestly
D. the writer destroyed a four-foot six-inch spring mattress

     Sometimes funny memories are the most special way to remember a beloved lover. It helps take away some of the feeling of loss. Before he passed away, my husband loved to share this story with our friends. Now, it makes a smile to share this story with you.
     Our neighbor"s son was getting married at a church, and we were invited. We immediately rushed out
to the store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month
before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.
June 29 came and, of course, I had not lost a single pound; in fact, I had gained two. But, I thought a new girdle (收腹健美裤) would solve my problem. So on the way to the wedding, we stopped once again at
the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle.
     The clerk found the box with the described girdle, marked "L", and asked if I would like to try it on.
"Oh, no, large will fit just right. I won"t need to try it on."
      The next morning was hot, so I waited to get dressed until about forty-five minutes before time to go.
I opened the girdle box only to find a new ＄49.95 girdle in a size small. Since it was too late to find
another one and the dress wouldn"t fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out between me and the girdle.
Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? Finally, my husband,
laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it, and I was ready to go.
     As we walked into the church, he asked if I could make it. Now, he was getting worried because I
was breathing funny. I told him that it would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight-and-one-half
seconds-the minister blessed everything except my girdle!
My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling. My husband was asking questions and trying to
comfort me.
     As soon as the minister pronounced them married, I rushed out with my husband. "Please, just get me
out of here!" I said.
     We ran out to our car, and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next
car. Right there, before God, human and the wedding party, I took off that girdle. When the girdle flew
out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours, my husband was laughing so hard and we drove
away.
Over the years, he and I had often wondered what the people of that church thought the next morning
when they found ＄49.95, size small girdle in their parking lot.1. When she was telling the story, she ______.A. was sorry for her husband"s death
B. was happy to share her funny memories
C. was wondering who had picked up the girdle
D. still couldn"t forget the trouble on that day2. She still bought the tight pink dress, because she thought ______.A. she would save some money
B. she would gain a few pounds
C. she would lose some weight
D. she looked thinner in the dress3. Which statement is true according to the story?A. She changed the girdle for a larger size.
B. They tried hard to pour lots of potatoes into a small bag.
C. She put on the dress without the girdle in the end.
D. She managed to put on the girdle with her husband"s help.4. The title "A Tight Situation" really means ______.A. she was dressed in a tight girdle
B. she dressed herself in a limited time
C. she got herself embarrassed
D. the wedding lasted longer than she expected5. The writer"s purpose of writing this story is ______.A. to tell an interesting experience

I was in a strange city and I didn"t know the city at all, and what is more, I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town-centre, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I believed that this was the simplest way of getting to know the strange city. I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even then I pronounced it badly. I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.
