Nick was tired of life,every day was exactly the same.
“What I need is a little adventure!”Nick thought as he waited at the bus stop one morning.Nick’s little adventure happened sooner than he had expected!
While he was on the bus,reading his newspaper,the man sitting next to him suddenly pushed a large brown envelope in his hands.“Here,take this!”he murmured.Then he stood up and got off the bus before Nick could say a word.
Nick sat there holding the envelope.It felt heavy.There were papers inside,or money perhaps.“I’d better hand it over to the police,”he thought.There was a police station close to his office.But as he got off the bus,a man came up to him.He was obviously waiting for something.“He wants the envelope.”Nick thought.Nick began to walk quickly and the man hurried after him.Nick started to run and the man began to run,too.But then,just before he got to the police station.Nick managed to lose the man in the crowds when he entered the police station,the man was no longer in sight.
Inside the police station,the envelope was full of money—false money.“Obviously the man made a mistake,”the inspector said,“He thought you were one of the gang! Well,congratulations!”
Nick felt like a hero.He could already see his name in all the papers.He could imagine an interview on television!
“However,”the inspector went on,interrupting Nick’s daydreams.“I’m afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about this.We’re trying to catch some very clever thieves and we don’t want them to know that we have some of the money.So you mustn’t say a word to anyone—even your boss! Sorry!”
“So that’s that!”Nick said to himself on his way to the office.He was over an hour late.“I’ve had my little adventure,but I can’t tell anyone about it.So what’s the point? I’ve even got to make up an excuse to the boss!”

University students' monthly expenses formobile phones vary from about 20 yuan to several hundred yuan, according to students in Fudan University, Jiaotong University. Whether one has a boyfriend or girlfriend is a critical (关键性的) factor that determines one's payment for a mobile phone, said Ann, a student in Shanghai Finance University, who uses up a 100 yuan card every six months. By contrast, one of Ann's roommates, who studies in the same class with her boyfriend, spends more than 100 yuan every month. They have a habit of making a daily call to each other every night, according to Ann.
"In my opinion, one's outlay (开支) on mobile phone depends on whether he works for some department of the Students' Union and whether he has some part-time jobs which require frequent contact," said Zhuang Jiadong, a student in Jiaotong University, who is the monitor of his class. His average bill for his mobile phone is 200 yuan per month.
At present, the cost of a mobile call is 0.6 yuan per minute, more expensive than using 201 cards by 0.2 yuan. Therefore, some students, especially girls, use mobile phones and telephones alternatively (交替地). "But we boys tend to be lazy and will not bother to use 201 cards which require dialing a long series of numbers," said Zhuang.
8. All the following factors determine university student's bill for mobile phones except________.
A. whether one has a boyfriend or girlfriend
B. whether he or she works for the Student's Union
C. whether one has some part-time jobs
D. whether one uses mobile phones and telephones alternatively
9. We can infer from the text that________.
A. university students' monthly expenses for mobile phones are almost the same
B. boys tend to use mobile phone more frequently
C. if one has a boyfriend or girlfriend, one will use their mobile phone less frequently
D. the cost of a mobile call is less expensive than using 201 cards
10. The best title of the text is ______.
A. Expense Gap for Mobile Phone
B. The Mobile Phone Comes into Universities
C. The Mobile Phone is Replacing Telephone
D. Expense for Mobile Phones
