Count Me Out
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.

old fashioned grocery:老式的(但不一定陈旧)

The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This i
The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal contact which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing-powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but also a social meeting place.
A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.
Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise, and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities. No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
小题1: Why is it a pity that there are fewer old-fashioned general stores now? _____________________________.
小题2: The shopkeeper was often the most well-informed person in the neighborhood because _____________________________.
小题3: The words “… a flood, a fire, a birth and a death …” in the last sentence refer to _____________________________.
小题4: What must the manager do every morning? ___________________________.

C

选C。首先了解四个选项的汉语意思。turn down表示“调小;拒绝”;turn out表示“生产;结果是,证明是”;break down表示“出故障”;break out表示“(战争、疾病等的)爆发”。由题干中的关键信息old­fashioned phones matter和in disasters可知此处填break down“出故障”。本题的意思是:“在灾难中,当无线网络出故障时,老式手机就(显得)很重要了。”

Last year I went to an old-fashioned bar with Lisa and her mother.When it was my turn to order,
I had a problem.I was dyslexic(诵读困难的).I had difficulty reading words.I felt embarrassed about it and didn’t want others to know it.Every time in restaurants I pretended (假装) that I could understand menus and ordered something that almost every restaurant could have.Luckily,I succeeded every time.
This time I did as usual.I had a look at the menu and asked for a dish of vanilla ice cream.I thought it was safe.A place like this bar should have this kind of ice cream.But as soon as Lisa heard me,she said,“Didn’t you read the menu?There isn’t any vanilla ice cream at all.” After I heard this,my face turned red.And I had to tell them the truth.
“Dyslexia is quite common,Betty.My friend’s daughter had this problem four years ago,but she is better now,” Lisa’s mother said to me,then she passed me a business card and said,“Go to see this doctor!Believe me!He can help you.”
I am better now.I understand that sometimes it isn’t the thing itself but what we have done that makes us embarrassed.I have learned to face my problems.I won’t escape from them any more.I don’t have to order the same food all the time!

A.She couldn’t read the words on the menu.
B.She thought ice cream in the bar was too expensive.
