  If you have a watch, don't repair it! I know it for certain. Once I had a beautiful watch. And this watch kept perfect time. But one night it happened that I forgot to wind it up(上发条). Next morning I went to a watchmaker as I wanted my perfect watch to be set by the exact time. The watchmaker examined my watch and said, “The regulator(调节器)is to be pushed up as your watch is four minutes slow.”

  I tried to stop him and tried to make him understand that my watch kept perfect time, but he did not listen to me and pushed to regulator.

  My beautiful watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. By the end of the second month it had left all the clocks and watches of the town far behind.

  What did I have to do? To take it to another watch maker to be regulated. I expected him to regulate the watch immediately but he asked me to come in a week's time. When at last I took my watch from him it began to slow down. And I began to be late for trains, business appointments(约会)and even missed my dinners.

  Now I went to the third watchmaker. While I waited for him to repair my poor watch, he took it to pieces and said that he could finish this work in three or four days. I had nothing to do but agree. That time my watch went for half a day and then stopped.

  So I kept taking my watch from one watchmaker to another for a considerable(相当长的)period of time.

  And as a result of it the cleverest man in the world could not tell time by my watch. The thing was getting serious. My watch had cost two hundred dollars originally(原先)but I paid for repair over two thousand. At last I decided to buy another watch, which I did.

(1) His watch gained faster and faster because ______.

[  ]

A.the watchmaker pushed up the regulator

B.the watch wasn't set up by the exact time

C.his watch never kept the perfect time

D.the author didn't follow the watchmaker's advice

(2) How many watchmakers did the author go to altogether?

[  ]

A.Two.
B.Three.
C.One
D.More than three.

(3) How much did it cost to repair the watch?

[  ]

A.Two hundred dollars.

B.Not mentioned.

C.Over ten times as much as its original value.

D.Less than two thousand.

(4) What do you think the author felt after he had his watch repaired?

[  ]

A.Regretful.
B.Content(满意的).
C.Worried
.D.Pleased
