down.” you hear it more and more when you are on business. the other day 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 on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. then i asked her, “what do all your people 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 good, 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. theres 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(备用) computer, i said. “lets forget the computer. what about your planes? theyre still flying, arent they?”“i couldnt 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 dark screen. “only it knows. it cant tell me.”by this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. the word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.1. the best title for the article is _.a.

schools lessons at every grade level. students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. they could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. people develop all these skills when they learn music. making music also lets children use their imagination. it provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. in a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). parents can enjoy listening to their childrens music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or tv screen. in a school band, students get to be part of a team. they can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.music builds self-confidence, too. it gives children a sense of achievement and success. making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. that is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.4. what does the underlined phrase glued to in the second paragraph

music builds childrens self-confidencec. music makes students much smarterd. learning music and making musiccproverbs (谚语) are quite common in spoken english. we dont normally put them in a composition or a letter. sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. here are a few examples.1）“once bitten, twice shy.” if a dog bites me, i shall be twice as careful in future when i see it. this proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. if you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go the same shop again.2）“a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” if i am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.3）“too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)”. when too many people do something, they get in each others way and do a bad job.4）“to pour oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down. oil is lighter than water. if a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. the second ship can send small boats to rescue people. however, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.5）“dont be a dog in a manger( 槽 )”means“ dont be selfish.” in a stable ( 马房 ), the manger is the place where the horses food is put. sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. the dog doesnt want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.6）“he is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. he is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.7）“he who pays the piper calls the tune.” a piper is a musician. the man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.8）“you cant get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. eg. you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man. 7. mr. wang paid for a new school. some people didnt like the design of the school but they didnt argue with mr. wang because _. a. he was sitting on the fence b. once bitten, twice shyc. he who pays the piper calls the tune d. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush8. mr. and mrs. smith had a quarrel. their friend, mr. brown, want to talk to them. when he came back, he told his wife that he had been trying to help the smiths by _.a. pouring oil on troubled waters b. getting blood out of a stonec. being a dog in a manger d. sitting on the fence9. mrs. lin wanted to buy a new dress. her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home. mrs. lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. so she said :“i wont go there again because _.”a. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bushb. i am sitting on the fencec. once bitten, twice shyd. too many cooks spoil the broth10. peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let
