更多“We called him our Christmas Boy because he came to us during that season of joy, _________”相关的问题
第1题
听力原文： Penury was what people called a mystery man. We had known him for over seven years, ever since he became a member of our modest club, but he had a way of keeping his private life to himself in all but the unessential details. We knew his address, though he never invited us to his home, and his age, too, but only unimportant matters of this kind. It seemed that he did not have to work for a living as we did, in our various ways. He had once hinted about an inheritance on which he managed to live comfortably. He was not, however, a man of luxurious habits: he was not especially well dressed and he did not even have a car. At the age of forty-five he was still a bachelor though. Since marriage was not a subject he ever discussed, we had no means of finding out whether he regretted not having a wife.
Penury disappeared suddenly from our circle and shortly afterwards we came to learn the first really solid facts about our mystery man. From reports that appeared in the newspapers, together with photographs of the man who was without doubt, our Mr. Penury, it was revealed that he was the most accomplished burglar in the London area; and that he had practiced this profession for many years, until he was arrested and sent to prison.
(23)
A．Because nobody knew his address.
B．Because nobody knew his age.
C．Because Penury's private life was a secret.
D．Because Penury was still a bachelor at the age of forty-five.

But, you know, it is very possible that in the future the question will disappear, and we might very well ask instead, "What do you play？"
Computers and other technological, equipment are making jobs more automated and less personally demanding. Scientists tell us that one day in the foreseeable future, very few people will have to work. Our society will be operated by computers and we will have much more free time, so that our games will become more important than our jobs.
At the beginning of this century, almost everybody believed in work. But by the end of this century, we might be thinking quite differently. Today, people are divided into social classes in accordance with the types of work they do; tomorrow, it is more than likely that we will be divided according to the types of games we play.
This change in the use of our time may give rise to a new race of therapists (治疗学家) called "fun specialists," who will fill the same functions as our current career specialists. They will show us how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time. Someday people will no longer be known primarily by the work they do.
What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Work plays an important part in our general lifestyle.
B．People are divided into social classes according to how much they earn each month.
C．It is very possible that game will replace work as the most important part in our life.
D．Game players know how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time.

W: Hello !
M: Tell me, Sue. What happened to you？
W: I was involved in a bank robbery.
M: You weren't!
W: I certainly was !
M: Tell us what happened.
W: Well, I was just going to the bank, which I do every week, and I was standing in line waiting to be served, when suddenly this hooded man with a gun burst into the bank and started screaming and yelling for us all to put our hands up. So, we're all standing there with our hands up, while he forceed a teller to fill his bag with money. M: Wow! How long were you standing there like that for？
W: Not long. It all happened so quickly ! As soon as the robber had his bag full, he left, and the same teller who had filled his bag called the police. So we were all interviewed and had to testify.
M: You testified？ You mean, they caught him？
W: They sure did. They gave him 10 years.
M: Wow! And, were you scared？
W: Absolutely. I was fearful !
M: So tell us, what's the best strategy when you're in a situation like that？
W: Well, I think the best thing to do is to stay calm. The robber might be armed, so you definitely don't want to panic-that would only attract attention to yourself. Also, don't make eye contact with the robber. All the banks have surveillance cameras, so let them do the work. And don't put up a fight-cooperate, give them whatever they ask for.
M: Well, that's very interesting advice, Sue. Now, if any of you listeners out there have advice, questions or comments for Sue, our staff are ready and waiting to take your call.
