单选题{{B}}Text 1{{/B}} Some time ago, I discovered that one of the chairs in my front hall had a broken leg. I didn't foresee any great difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops on Pimlico Road which is three minutes' walk from my fiat, so I set forth one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop confidently expecting a friendly reception, with a kindly man saying, "What a charming chair! Yes, that's quite a simple job. When would you want it back? " I was quite wrong. I wasn't too concerned; after all, it was only the first try and there are many more shops on both sides of the road. The reaction at the second shop, though slightly politer, was just the same, and at the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had thought of a plan. I placed the chair gently on the floor, then the rather fierce shop owner looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad little chair, how much do you want for it?" "￡20," I said. "It's got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that. It's nothing; don't worry about it. " "what will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be very saleable once the repair is done, I like the bit of old green velvet on the top, I shall leave that, yes, very saleable. " "I'll buy it," I said. "Yes, I know, but I've changed my mind; as a matter of fact, it is just what I'm looking for. I've got a pair to it at home; I'll give you ￡ 27 for it." "You must be crazy," he said; then suddenly the penny dropped and he smiled and said, "I know what you want, you want me to mend your chair." "And what would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to repair it for me?" "I wouldn't have done it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much of a nuisance(麻烦事情), but I'll mend this for you. "

单选题{{B}}Text 1{{/B}} It is surprising how many expressions that people use every day tame from the card game poker For ex- ample, you hear the expression "ace in the hole" used by many who would never think of going near a poker table. An ace in the hole is any argument, plan or thinking kept hidden until needed, especially when it can turn failure into success. In poker and most card games, the ace is the highest and most valuable card. It is often a winning card. In one kind of poker game, the first card to each player is dealt face down. A player does not show-this card to the other players. The other cards are dealt face up with the players betting money each time they receive another card. No one knows until the end of the game whose hidden card is the winner. Often, the "ace in the hole" wins the game. Smart card players, especially those who play for large amounts of money, closely watch the person who deals the cards. They are watching to make sure he is dealing honestly, that he is not dealing off the bottom of the stack of cards. A dealer who is doing that has "stacked the deck". He has fixed the cards so that he will get higher cards and you will lose. The expression "dealing off the bottom" now means cheating in business, as well as in cards. And when someone tells you that "the cards are stacked" against you, he is saying you do not have a chance to succeed. In a poker game you do not want to let your opponents know if your cards are good or bad. So having a "poker face" is important. A poker face never shows any emotion, never expresses either good or bad feelings. No one can learn, by looking at your face. if your cards are good or bad. People now use "poker face" in everyday speech to describe someone who shows no emotion. Someone who has a "poker face" usually is good at "bluffing". Bluffing is trying to trick a person into believing something about you that is not true. In poker, you bluff when you bet heavily on a poor hand. The idea is to make the other players believe you have strong cards and are sure to win. If they believe you, they are likely to drop out of the game, leaving to you the money they have bet. You can do a better job of bluffing if you "hold your cards close to your vest". You hold your cards close to you so no one else can see what you have. In everyday speech, holding your cards close to your vest means not letting others know what you are doing or thinking. You arc keeping your plans secret.

单选题Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away — straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest problems. Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50% to 70% less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75% of agricultural land in the United States," says George Oerther of Texas A＆M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only If Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.

单选题Policeman James left the station just after 8:30 a. m. on Sunday July 5. He had spent a quiet night on duty and was looking forward to his rest day. As usual he took a short cut down the path behind Dugby road and after a minute or two he saw a man climbing down a drain-pipe from an open bedroom window of number 25. Silently James crept into the garden. The man reached the ground and was dusting himself down when he felt his arm gripped. "It's 8:45 on a Sunday morning," said the policeman, "and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining?" The man was obviously startled but kept calm immediately. He said, "I know what you're thinking, officer, but it isn't true. This is a very funny mistake." "It's part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think you've just left this house in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but I'd like to make sure.." James took out his notebook and a pen. "Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell me what happened." "Charlie Lewis, lorry driver, from Nottingham, 52 Brecon Street. My story..." "Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that wail, Mr. Lewis? .... Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. Bed and breakfast. The landlady's name is Mrs. Crane. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry by half past. It was only when I felt around for a cigarette I found I'd left $ 90 in my pay envelope under the pillow here at number 25. I always put it under my pillow at night. It's a habit I've got into. I even do it at home..." "I see. Why didn't you miss it when you went to pay Mrs... What's her name? .... I'd paid her last night. You've got to pay when you take the room, right? So I came rushing back, but it's Sunday, and she'd gone back to bed, and could I wake her? I rang the bell and banged on the front door for several minutes before I came round here to the back spotting my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then, up this pipe. It's a trick I learnt in the army. She hadn't made the bed, and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because..." "Mr. Lewis, whatever are you doing here? I thought you'd gone one hour and a half ago. "It was Mrs. Crane, speaking from the kitchen window at the comer of the house.
