Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter-box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself,Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years timeYou are not. You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?

But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isnt it important to have a telephone in case of emergencyillness, an accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.

I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstancesif I were a tycoon(business VIP),for instance, or bed ridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential.

Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.

1.The passage is mainly discussing _______.

A. that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone call

B. that important message will reach you sooner or later

C. whether its necessary to answer all phone calls

D. whether it is necessary to have a telephone

2.Judging from the passage, who is strong-minded enough to ignore a phone call?

A. The author. B.A tycoon.

C.A taxi-driver. D. Hardly anyone.

3.According to the passage, the author________.

A. thinks the telephone should go out of our life

B. likes to be different from other people

C. thinks the telephone is annoying

D. speaks favourably of a telephone

4.In the authors opinion, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Nearly everyone has been told a wrong number.

B. Its necessary for everyone to have a telephone.

C. He himself can not decide whether to answer a call.

D.A telephone directory may bring in unexpected calls.

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman

Let us imagine how Pride and PrejudiceJane Austen’s most

famous workmight be updated200 years on.

Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different lifeas would her characters.Here’s my own suggestion...

It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to menhowever disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.

“My dear husband”said his hopeful wife one day“have you heard that the local storestanding empty for so longis taken over by a bright young businesswoman

Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.

“But it isit is”she replied excitedly.

Mr Dull?Husband made no reply.

“Don’t you want to know her plans”she cried with some impatience.

“Wellclearly you think it matters to your silly little head...so I’d better listen.”

“Wellmy dearthe rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern Englandthough how_a_woman_can_know_anything_about_that_is_beyond_me.She will move in herself next month.”

“What is her name

“Bingley.”

“Is she married or single

“What a question! And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”

“How so? How can it possibly affect them? ”

“My dear lovethose lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.”

“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”

“Nonsensemy lovehow little you’ve noticed the world has changed.She’s got a first?rate degree and some sort of business qualificationI’m told.She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”

“Me? No.Perhaps you can take an interest.You still have your looksafter all.She may even offer you a job.”

“Ohthat’s not likely.These new chances belong to the younger generation.But now you mention itI think I’ll go along all the same.”

And Mrs Bennet went along.That was 10 years ago.She is now managing director of a FTSE?listed company.

...It would remain the caseof coursethat Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company boardthat her salary would be lower than her male colleaguesher bonus of a more“female”dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs.Stillshe’d no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

AAusten was born 200 years ago.

BAusten rewrote Pride and Prejudice.

CAusten’s success lies in her wisdom.

DAusten’s updated work gains popularity.

2.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ________.

Ahad mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley

Bfelt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley

Cwas extremely anxious to meet Bingley

Dhad a great curiosity about Bingley

3.In the eyes of Mrs BennetBingley surely needed one of their boys to ________.

Aget married to

Bwork for her

Chelp her move in

Dtake over her store

4.What does the writer intend to tell us?

AWomen with brains can also be as successful as men.

BWomen have to pay a high price for success.

CA judgment must be made free from prejudice.

DSex discrimination still exists nowadays.
