i was at the airport waiting for a ticket to washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “im sorry, i cant sell you a ticket. our computer is down.”“if your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“i cant write you out a ticket. the computer is the only one allowed to do so.” i looked down at the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. then i asked her, “what do you do?”“we give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“so when it goes down, you go down with it.”“thats right, sir.”“how long will the computer be down?” i wanted to know.“i have no idea. sometimes its down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. there is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since its down, it wont answer us.”after the girl told me they had no backup computer, i said, “lets forget the computer. what about your planes? they are still flying, arent they?”“i cant tell without asking the computer.”“maybe i could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if hes flying to washington.” i suggested.“i wouldnt know what gate to send you to. even if the pilot was going to washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket.”“is there any other airline flying to washington within the next few hours?”“i wouldnt know,” she said, pointing at the desk screen. “only it knows. it cant tell me.”by this time there were quite a few people standing in line. the words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. some people went, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.56. the word “down” in the sentence our computer is down. means _. a. fallingb. dead c. dropd. good57. the best title of the article is _.

delicious meals for free and then writing about thembut for some food critics, their eyes arent the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast. karen fernau, a food writer for the arisona republic, said when she first started her job she began to gain weight“i always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day she saysnine years later, keeping her weight steady and her health intact （完好无损的）is a daily battleif she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the daynow she is always keeping track of whats in the food she eats and she says most people dont even look at or consider itat one tasting task alone, she says, upward of l,000 calories is often added to her daythats about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adultbut even though shes thought of a special eating method, fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. and food editors, writers and critics across the country couldnt agree more“when im at home or not eating for work, its healthy food to the extreme, says phil vettel, whos been a restaurant critic for the chicago tribune for 19 yearsvettel, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most professions, he has no right to chooseif im going out to eat, i cant choose the healthiest thing on the menu, i have to eat when theyre bringing me while vettel exercises when he can, joe yonan, a food editor at the washington post, has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two years agoyonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his body training three to five times a weekstill, its a struggle that many americans might envyafter all, its one thing to get your calories from lobster tails or a delicate chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers60what does the underlined sentence mean in para l?athe food critics are always impressed by the delicious food in the restaurantbthe food critics are shocked to learn they have to have one more feastcthe food critics eat delicious food, which also tends to result in gaining weight dthere is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from61what can we learn about the job of being a food critic?aonce they become food critics, they tend to stay in the jobbthey only work for local magazines and newspapersc they enjoy free and delicious dishes and make comments on themdtheir excellent sense of taste makes them qualified for the job 62what is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit?来anot eating anything except for the free mealsbwriting down everything they put into their mouthcchoosing only the healthy food on the menudhiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions 63what can we infer from the last paragraph?ano matter whether the food is expensive or not, the gaining of calories is the samebamericans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food cthe calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmfuldeverybody should take the calories in their food carefullycsuperman, spider-man, batman and iron man there is no shortage of superheroes. you find them in comic books, on the tv and the big screen.in a survey of fans by the sci-fi and fantasy website, sfx.co.uk, batman, 70 years old this year, was voted britains favorite superhero.unlike many crime-fighting superheroes batman has no special powers. he cant fly like superman or shoot a sticky web like spider-man.bruce wayne is born to a wealthy gotham city business family. however, when his parents are murdered his life changes completely.wayne feels anger at their deaths and guilty that he did not prevent them. he travels around the world learning how to fight. upon returning to gotham, he creates a disguise to enable him to fight crime without being recognized.a childhood fear of bats leads him to choose to dress as one. his idea is that through the bat persona, he can prove to himself that he has overcome his childhood fears.wayne is the ceo of the company he inherits from his father. he seems to live the lifestyle of a millionaire playboy. but this is a ruse (计策). he works hard at the image to allow himself the freedom he needs to do his work as a crime fighter. “bruce wayne, playboy” is the disguise; batman is the real person.“wayne is not a born superhero. instead, he is a real, complex person,”said dace golder, editor of the website. he is the most realistic of all the superheroes. i am particularly interested in the emotional process by which a boy becomes a hero. his superhero qualities come from within.”64. what is the article mainly about? a. what makes a superhero.b. how to overcome childhood fears.c. how bruce wayne develops into a superhero.d. why superheroes enjoy great popularity in britain.65. batman differs from other superheroes in that . a. he doesnt have any special powersb. he had an unhappy childhoodc. he was not a born superherod. he does his best to fight crime66. bruce wayne decides to dress like a bat because of . a. his curiosity about bats b. his unusual travel experiencesc. his parents sudden death d. his childhood fear of bats67. why does wayne live like a playboy? a. he prefers the lifestyle of a playboy.b. he needs to disguise his crime fighting activities.c. he loves freedom more than anything else.d. he doesnt know how to run a company.dnowadays, more and more people prefer to travel by plane. they think air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. but still there is a danger that grows every year. airliners get larger and larger. some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. and the air itself becomes more and more crowded. if one large airliner struck into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost.from the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. the air traffic controllers around a busy airport like london-heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. not all of them actually land at the airport. any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident. recently such a disaster almost happened. two large jets were flying towards the airport. one was carrying 69 passengers from toronto, the other 176 passengers from chicago. an air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. he ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. but he made a mistake. he ordered the wrong plane to do this. so, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. they avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. the distance between them was
