I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days. I'm saying this because I think I just found mine!

I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really  36    schedule, which meant I would have no time for myself all day. I was having one of those days, the train was completely  37  and the conversation going on around me seemed to be particularly  38  . Besides, I had a bit of a headache.   39   quickly across the station hall, I fished some  40  from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit   41   The Big Issue ( a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living).

42  the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the

Big Issue. She really looked like she'd been sleeping  43  . Her clothes were  44  and she obviously hadn't had a scrub up (擦洗) for quite a while.

As I  45   the exit, I saw that she was  46  from side to side. At first I thought maybe she was trying to keep  47  against the biting wind. But she wasn't, she was moving in time to a  48 . I couldn’t hear her, but I could see her lips moving.

When I got closer, I saw a white  49  hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes. She was  50 , dirty and living on tile streets. I came closer and through the  51  of the traffic I heard her  52  the immortal (不朽的)line, "... and I think to myself, what a wonderful world!"

I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally  53  . She thanked me, then she  54    her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement – still singing!

So, I have my happy  55  for the day. And I think it will stay with me a long, long time.

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”
“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:
“ENTER NAMES
VOYAGE�。�
VOYAGE�。�
Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED.
START  TRANSPORT  PROGRAM.
AUTO-RETRIEVE  INITIATED(自動(dòng)回收程序已啟動(dòng)).”
The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．
DESTINATION:  MARS.
RETRIEVE DATE:  2025
【小題1】Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?

A．He wanted to take a voyage.B．He wanted to practice his skills.
C．He was so much attracted by it.D．He was eager to do an experiment.
【小題2】Where did the boy’s father most likely work?
A．In an electronic factory.B．In a computer company.
C．In a scientific research center.D．In an information processing center.
【小題3】Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of ________.
A．a(chǎn) computer gameB．a(chǎn) company website
C．a(chǎn) software producerD．a(chǎn)n astronomy program
【小題4】Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?
A．He was afraid of being scolded.
B．He didn’t like the loud noise and light.
C．He didn’t want to play games.
D．He was afraid something dangerous might happen.
【小題5】What happened to the boys at the end of the story?
