阅读理解。     A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer day at noon
before an eating-house, and remained regaling (享受) his nose with the smell of the victuals. The master of the
shop told him several times to go away, but the sweeper could not leave savory smell, though unable to purchase
the taste of the food. At last the cook came out of the shop, and taking hold of the sweeper, declared that, as he
had been feeding upon the smell of his victuals, he should not go away without paying half the price of a dinner.
The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay, and that he would ask the first person who should
pass, whether it was an unreasonable and unjust demand.
     The case was referred to a policeman, who happened to pass at that moment. He said to the sweeper:"As you
have been feasting one of your senses with the odor (气味) of this man"s meat, it is but just you should make
him some recompense; therefore you shall, in your turn, regale one of his senses, which seems to be more
insatiable than your appetite. How much money do you have?"
     "I have but two pence in all the world, sir, and I must buy me some bread."
     "Never mind," answered the officer. "Take your two pence between your hands; now rattle them loudly."
     The sweeper did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, "Now, sir, I think he has paid you: the smell
of your victuals regaled his nostrils; the sound of his money has tickled your ears."
     This decision gave more satisfaction to the bystanders than to the cook, but it was the only payment he could
obtain. 1. The sweeper stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, because ____. A. he wanted to regale his nose with the smell of the victuals
B. he was hungry and he wanted to have dinner
C. he was hungry but he had no enough money to buy a meal
D. he wanted to smell if the food was delicious 2. The cook"s demand that the sweeper should pay half the price of a dinner was obviously ____. A. reasonable
B. not fair
C. logical
D. proper 3. We infer that the way that the policeman settled the problem was ____. A. foolish
B. kind
C. clever
D. stupid 4. The passage implied, but didn"t say clearly that ____. A. it"s a pity that the cook did not get what he wanted
B. the master of the shop and the cook were cool-hearted
C. the cook was cruel
D. the sweeper got what he wanted

完形填空。     The day was Thankful Thursday. It"s a weekly   1   that my two little girls and I began years ago.
Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive   2 .
     My girls shouted "McDonald"s, McDonald"s" as we   3   along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I   4
that almost every crossing I passed through was   5   by a panhandler (乞丐). And then it hit me! All
these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(n)   6   15 lunches and we set
out to deliver them. We would pull   7 a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we
hoped things got better. Then we"d say, "Oh,   8 , here"s lunch."
     We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately   9   back in the opposite
direction for home.  10 , the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this
small woman stood. I was  11  and didn"t know quite how to behave.
     She made her way to our car, "No one has ever done  12  like this for me before," she said with  13 .
Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, "So,  14  do you think you"ll eat
your lunch?"
     She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, "Oh honey, I"m not going to eat this
lunch." I was  15 , but before I could say anything, she continued, "You see, I have a little girl and she just
loves McDonald"s, but I don"t have the money. But you know  16  tonight if she is going to have
McDonald"s!"
     I don"t know if the kids  17  the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of
kindness were too  18  or insignificant to really affect change.  19  in that moment, I recognized the  20
of Mother Teresa"s words:"We cannot do great things-only small things with great love."

    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 on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring
at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people 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 good, 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"s 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 (备用) computer, I said. "Let"s forget the computer. What
about your planes? They"re still flying, aren"t they?"
      "I couldn"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 dark screen. "Only it knows. It can"t tell me."
      By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that
the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their
luggage.

1. The best title for the article is _____.

[ ]

A. When the Computer Is Down
