I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days. I'm saying this because I think I just found mine!
I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really 36 schedule, which meant I would have no time for myself all day. I was having one of those days, the train was completely 37 and the conversation going on around me seemed to be particularly 38 . Besides, I had a bit of a headache. 39 quickly across the station hall, I fished some 40 from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit 41 The Big Issue ( a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living).
42 the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the
Big Issue. She really looked like she'd been sleeping 43 . Her clothes were 44 and she obviously hadn't had a scrub up (擦洗) for quite a while.
As I 45 the exit, I saw that she was 46 from side to side. At first I thought maybe she was trying to keep 47 against the biting wind. But she wasn't, she was moving in time to a 48 . I couldn’t hear her, but I could see her lips moving.
When I got closer, I saw a white 49 hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes. She was 50 , dirty and living on tile streets. I came closer and through the 51 of the traffic I heard her 52 the immortal (不朽的)line, "... and I think to myself, what a wonderful world!"
I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally 53 . She thanked me, then she 54 her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement – still singing!
So, I have my happy 55 for the day. And I think it will stay with me a long, long time.

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”
“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:
“ENTER NAMES
VOYAGE １
VOYAGE ２
Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED.
START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.
AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”
The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．
DESTINATION: MARS.
RETRIEVE DATE: 2025
【小题1】Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?
| A．He wanted to take a voyage. | B．He wanted to practice his skills. |
| C．He was so much attracted by it. | D．He was eager to do an experiment. |
| A．In an electronic factory. | B．In a computer company. |
| C．In a scientific research center. | D．In an information processing center. |
| A．a computer game | B．a company website |
| C．a software producer | D．an astronomy program |
| A．He was afraid of being scolded. |
| B．He didn’t like the loud noise and light. |
| C．He didn’t want to play games. |
| D．He was afraid something dangerous might happen. |
| A．They were blown into the air. |
