Climbing was the co
27、re of his life. Church towers, seaside cliffs, or ice mountains, anything - “If its there“ he used to say, “then I want to climb it.“ So the news of his marriage gave me a surprise. Id never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter Fern was a married man! I couldnt get over it. I
28、wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of his risky adventures (冒险 ). From Chamonix he climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That was it, then: she was French, from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No other explanation (解释 ).
29、 A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me because she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre. “I never climbed more than sixty steps in my life.“ She told me. “Peter has his interests, and Ive got mine. No problems.“ “None at all,“ Peter said, smiling. “Where did you spend your
30、 honeymoon?“ “I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway. A wonderful show!“ Peter said, “Didnt want to miss the good weather.

A m
34、istake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer. As a re
35、sult, Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps. Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was told to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally
36、inscribed (记下 ) the words “Post Office“ instead of “Post Paid“ on the several hundred stamps that he printed. Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left: fourteen One Penny Orange Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blues rareness and age, collectors have p

40、 crossing the computers screens. At the same moment the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening, they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses (病毒 ). Al
41、l these computers had been infected by computer viruses. It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all have excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem Vir
42、uses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the functions, damaging normal programs or even getting rid of all the information. We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are

I find one excuse for not taking this system (制度 )
47、 unacceptable. It says that under todays conditions, when our work efficiency is still very low and the work-load quite heavy, we cannot follow the ex- ample of technologically advanced western countries in practising the five-day work week. Their conclusion is: The time is not ripe for such a syste
48、m. I really don t see much point in this argument (争论 ,论点 ). They say the efficiency of the majority of our workers has been very low, but do they know what caused todays low efficiency? Its old time requirement that no matter how soon you can get your work done, you must still stick to your post an
49、d never leave.
