to shut the computer down, and it seized up altogether. unsure of what else to do, i yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out.unfortunately, windows had been in the midst of a crucial（紧要关头） undertaking. the next morning, when i turned my computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and windows would not load. then, it offered to repair itself by using the windows setup cd.i opened the special drawer where i keep cds. but no windows cd in there. i was forced to call the computer companys global support centre. my call was answered by a woman in some unnamed, far-off land. i find it annoying to make small talk with someone when i dont know what continent theyre standing on. suppose i were to comment on the beautiful weather weve been having when there was a monsoon(季风) at the other end of the phone? so i got right to the point.my computer is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but i dont have the windows setup cd.so youre having a problem with your windows setup cd. she has apparently been dozing and, having come to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention.it quickly became clear that the woman was not a computer technician. her job was to serve as a gatekeeper. her only duty, as far as i could tell, was to raise global stress levels.to make me disappear, the woman gave me the phone number for windows creator, microsoft. this is like giving someone the phone number for, i dont know, north america. besides, the cd worked; i just didnt have it. no matter how many times i repeated my story, we came back to the same place. she was calm and polite.when myvoicehit a certain decibel (分贝), i was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician.you dont have the windows setup cd, maam, because you dont need it, he explained cheerfully.windows came preinstalled on your computer!but i do need it.yes, but you dont have it. we went on like this for a while. finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different cd, one that would erase my entire system. of course, youd lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos. it was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. you might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive. he sounded delighted. and its not covered by the warranty (产品保证书)! the safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.i hung up the phone and drove my computer to a small, friendly repair place id heard about. a smart, helpful man dug out a windows cd and told me it wouldnt be a problem. an hour later, he called to let me know it was ready. i thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his.56. why did the author shut down her computer abruptly?a. she had saved what she

las vegas only brings luck for the poord. all the girls love fancy clothes and costumescthe philippines is fast becoming the worlds low-cost english language teacher - with rapid increases in overseas students coming to learn english or study in english-speaking universities. there might be other countries that people think about as a classic place to learn english, such as the uk, the us or australia. but there is one key reason that they are switching to the philippines. its much cheaper. we have very competitive rates compared with other countries, says english teacher, jesy king, citing her schools fees of $500 (313) for a 60-hour class-about a third of the price of an equivalent course in the us or canada.another major advantage is the accent. filipinos speak with a clear american accent - partly because the philippines were a us colony for five decades, and partly because so many people here have spent time working in call centers for the us market. these centers train their staff to sound indistinguishable from americans, so callers never realize that the person theyre speaking to is on the other side of the world.student numbers are growing rapidly. and its not just english language students who are coming to the philippines - theres also been a rapid increase in the number of foreigners applying for graduate and post-graduate courses in all kinds of fields. the main reasons that attract them are, again, the cost - and the fact that, in the countrys top universities, all classes are held in english.dr alvin culaba, the executive vice-president of de la salle - one of the countrys top universities - is confident that the level of teaching in his institution can compete with that found anywhere in the world. our programs are very comparable, or sometimes even better, than in the us and europe, he says. de la salle already has a lot of students from china and japan, but theres recently been an increase in europeans. elizaveta leghkaya, a russian engineering student, is one of them. she looked at courses in canada, australia and new zealand, but the program at de la salle was a quarter of the price of the others. here its much cheaper, and im really confident that the qualification ill get is just the same, she says. she had found other benefits of studying in the philippines too. its a good experience, as its a different style of life than id get in europe. its interesting to learn the culture. but studying in the philippines isnt for the faint-hearted. living here means coping with the bureaucracy and corruption (官僚腐败), and if youre in manila, the heavy pollution. and then theres the fact that many filipinos speak a rather different language than the rest of the english-speaking world. the philippines markets itself as being the third largest english-speaking nation - after the us and the uk - a fact proudly displayed on the department of tourism website. and in a way, thats true. most people speak at least basic english, and the well-educated speak it fluently. but a lot of people speak taglish - a mix of english and the local language tagalog - which is often difficult for foreigners to understand. for a foreign student trying to learn english, this will undoubtedly present some challenges.51.from the above passage we can learn that _.a. the fact that the local people speak taglish is an attraction to foreignersb. the education quality in russia is far behind that of the philippinesc. not all the foreign students go to the philippines to learn englishd. only students from china and japan like to study in the philippines52. one advantage about studying in the philippines is that _.a. the living costs there are much lower than other countriesb. people there speak english with an american accentc. student numbers are growing rapidly thered. de la salle there is a very good university53.the method the writer uses to develop paragraph 4 is _.a. providing explanationsb. offering analysesc. listing datad. giving examples54.which of the following best describes the writers tone in the passage?a. approving b. objectivec. criticald. doubtfuldas i write this, i have half an eye on an old james bond film that is showing on my computer. but this is a story about how i stopped watching tv and began reading again for pleasure, after ten years in which i hardly turned a page.i suppose i was an enthusiastic reader of literature between the ages of nine and fourteen. i had enough time to be white fang, robinson crusoe, and bilbo baggins and jeeves. of cou
