One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business. So they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went travelling around that famous city. They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served (提供) after seven. They were surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night. "Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr. Smith. "Yes, certainly, sir. " answered the man. "We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine. " "But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights (风景) of London. "said Mrs. Smith.

单选题"Family" is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one"s parents and starting one"s own life. The man"s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife"s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife"s parents nor the husband"s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters. Readers of novels like Jane Austin"s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl"s parents, that is, it was the parents" duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents" home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.

单选题B One Sunday, Mark decided to go sailing in his boat with his friend Dan, but Dan happened to be away. Dan's brother John offered to go instead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea. Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit by a big ship. Fortunately he saw a large buoy (浮标) through the fog and decided to tie the boat to it for safety. As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope. The boat moved away in the fog carrying John, who did not know how to use the radio, He drifted (漂流) about and was not seen until twelve hours later. Mark spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep. He was having a bad dream when a shout woke him up. A ship, the Good Hope, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the captain. The captain told him that John had been picked up by another ship and the ship's captain had sent out a message. "Without the message I would not have found you on the buoy." he said.

单选题{{B}}Text 3{{/B}} Getting a new PC is one thing. Keeping it running smoothly is quite another. While a personal computer should continue to perform well for years, users know that system unsteadiness (不稳定性) does exist. Yet you can reduce it to the smallest amount by following the tips below. First, put in as little software (软件) as possible. You'll have fewer software-related problems and a system that is easier to manage. Second, you should ensure (确保) that you have as much memory (RAM) in your PC as you need. If you run Windows 98, your computer should have at least 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM and more. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM if you use Windows NT or Windows 2000, but these operating systems will run much more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more. Third, make sure you buy good hardware (硬件). No-name products may be cheaper and sometimes just as good as name-brand products, but name-brand products usually become well-known because Windows will more often support the hardware that you buy. If you are starting out with computers, it's also a good idea to buy ready- made systems from major manufactures (制造商). They are likely to have been tested thoroughly with your operating system, and you will generally experience fewer problems. Fourth, do prepare for disaster. No matter how well your system runs when you get it, the day will come when it will need to be replaced. Hopefully (但愿), you will replace it because technology has become out-dated, but you may need to replace it also because the hard drive crashes (毁坏) or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. That's why it's important to copy your important information regularly. Whether you use a tape backup device or a CD-ROM drive, it's important to make a regular backup plan and stick to it.
