    　　    I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the Jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper 　　 1 that you could buy tickets at the 2　　 box office in Richland Hills 3 day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 o'clock to 5:30, the 4 time I could go to the　　 theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. 5 the theater is on the　　 6 side of the town, and the bus 7 between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But 8 you are lucky, you can make the 　　 9 trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for 　　 10 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come 　　 11 the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I 　　 12 and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and 13 , on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck 　　 14 . I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theater in 15 　　 twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a 16 line of people　　 at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. 17 I would not have enough time to 　　 18 in line, I caught the next bus and headed back 19 the town.

When I got to the 24 , I was relieved to　　 see 25 was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold　　 all the tickets.

    　　The Hawaiian Islands are situated(位于)about two thousand miles away from North America, right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean．Despite the distance the Islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States．The Islands were all formed by volcano eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years．

    　　On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating directions．They don't use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world．They use the mauka and makai system．Mauka means "mountain"．The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands．Makai means "the sea"．The islands are small and the system is simple．Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea．A typical conversation between a native Hawaiian and a visitor might go as follows．

    　　VISITOR：Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is? HAWAIIAN; Well…Let me see! From here it's two blocks mauka, and then one block makai．You can't miss it!

    　　“I’m so glad,”said Mr．Sims, turning back to the blackboard．“Oh, and by the way, Carson,”he continued, “I think a cage would be a healthier place for your little friend．Would you agree with that statement?”Just at that time, Millie let out a weak but clear cry and stuck her head out of Carson’s pocket．

    　　Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of the U.S.A. It was in 1867 that President A. Johnson's Secretary of State (国务卿) , Seward , bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of 7．2million. The buying of the huge northern land seemed at first something foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in and it appeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes (火山) there as Alaska lies on the Pacific “ring of fire”. In Alaska large treeless areas are covered. with snow all the year. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called “Seward's Folly (愚蠢) ”at that time.

    　　However, in 1886, gold was found in Alaska, and people poured into this land. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of nature that northern land shows to them. For example, there are about 11,000 islands in Alaska. And in a certain area of Alaska the sun does not set for eighty - two days every year.

    A．92 years after Seward bought it

    [　　]

    A．find gold
