13．Some people seem easy to understand：their character appears obvious on first meeting．Appearances，however，can be deceptive．For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen．I don't know very much about them．I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right．I think they must have small insight or great vanity．For my own part I find that the longer I know people，the more they puzzle me．
I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died．He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years．Once he gave me a great surprise．Unless I had heard the story from his own lips，I'd never have velieved that he was capable of such an action．He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and position．He didn't talk much，but what he said was sensible．Tou couldn't imagine he'd possible raise his voice in anger．Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows．He'd tell with point a good and spicy story，and in his youth he'd been something of an athete．He was a rich man and he'd made every penny himself．I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so weak； he arounsed your instinets（本能）of protection．You felt he couldn't bear to hurt a fly．
    One afternoon Burton told me a"funny"story in a quiet，dry humour：
"There was a namesake（同名人）of mine，who was the best bridge player I ever met．He seemed to have a fantastic instinct about the cards．I used to play with him a lot．"
"He was handsome in a way with curly hair and pink-and-white cleeks．Women thought a lot of him．There was no harm in him，he was only wild．Pf course he drank too much．He won a good deal of my money by card-playing．"
"One day he came to me when he went broke．He came to see me in my office and asked me for a job．I asked him how old he was．
"'Thirty-five'，he said．"
"'And what have you been doing hitherto？'I asked him．
"'Well，nothing very much，'he said．
"'I'm afraid I can't do anything for you just yet，'I said．'Come back and see me in another thirty-five years，and I'll see what I can do．'
"He didn't move．He went rather pale．He hesitated for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time．He hadn't been willing to stick to bridge，he'd been playing poker，and he'd got trimmed．He hadn't a penny．He'd pawned everything he had．He couldn't pay his hotel bill and they wouldn't give him any more credit．He was down and out．If he couldn't get something to do he'd have to commit suicide．
"I looked at him for a bit．I could see now that he was all to pieces．He'd been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty．The girls wouldn't have thought so much of him if they'd seen him then．
"I got some glimmering of what he was driving at．I've known too many men who were little tin gods at their university．
"Suddenly I had an idea．"Pausing in his story，Burton turned to me．"When I was young I swam over three miles round the beacon（灯塔）and landed at the river of Tarumi．It's rather difficult on account of the currents round the beacon．Well，I told my young fellow about it and I said that if he'd do it I'd give him a job．
"I could see he was rather taken aback．He was not in good condition for sports．He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded．"
"I told him I'd drive round to the river at half past twelve and meet him．
"Done，"he said．
"I wished him good luck and he left me．I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to the creek at Tarumi at half past twelve．But I needn't have hurried；he never turned up．
"Did he funk it at the last moment？"I asked．
"No，he didn't funk it．He started all right．But of course he'd ruined his constitution by drink．The currents round the beacon were more than he could manage．We didn't get the body for about three days
I didn't say anything for a moment or two．I was a trifle shocked．Then I asked．
"When you made him that offer of a job，did you know he'd be drowned？'
    He looked at me with his kind blue eyes，smiling．"Well，I hadn't got a vacancy in my office at the moment．"

3．When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble-a word game-against herself，I knew I had to do something．My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against．I wasn't sure my mother was ready for it．After all，it had taken 10years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker．Even so，we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents'home．And so began my mother's adventure in the world of computers．
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me．I've taught people of all ages，but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything．She has been the one teaching me all my life：to cool and sew； to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad．Now it was my turn to give something back．
It wasn't easy at the beginning．There was so much to explain and to introduce．Slowly but surely，my mother caught on，making notes in a little notebook．After a few months of Scrabble and other games，I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing．This proved to be a bigger challenge to her，so I gave her some homework I asked her to write me a letter，using different letter types，colors and spaces．
"Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils？"she asked．
"No，of course not，"I said．"They already know how to use a computer．"
My mother isn't the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period．Thanks to the computer，my father has finally got over his phone allergy．For as long as I can remember，any time I called，my mother would answer．Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we've had in the past 20years．

4．Few things can get normally calm people angry like finding a parking ticket attached to the windshield of their cars，especially when they seem undeserved．But most people don't want to invest the time and energy to beat them．
Now a new iPhone app，Fixed，will take on the task of beating a ticket：suggesting reasons it might be wrong，gathering supporting evidence and submitting proper paperwork to get drivers out of them．If the driver beats the ticket，they pay Fixed 25%of what it would have cost．
"When you mention parking tickets to people，most people think they've received an unfair one，"said David Hegarty，the designer of Fixed，who came up with the idea after getting six parking tickets in one day．
When someone gets a ticket，they snap a photo of it on their iPhone and enter the code．The app will tell them what percentage of those types of tickets are usually overturned and then show a list of possible reasons it could be found wrong such as a traffic sign covered by a leafy tree or a broken parking meter．If the motorists think they have a case，the app will remind them to get any additional photographic evidence with their phone and then digitally sign a letter．
Fixed's business model isn't completely new．There are companies that handle such cases for large companies such as FedEx and UPS．The difference is that Fixed is making the service available to individuals，thus helping in any area where the fee amount is small enough not to protest in person，but still big enough to make someone angry．"That's our sweet spot，"David said．

56．Most people accept parking tickets even if they feel unfair becauseA
A．they don't want to spend time and energy on them
B．they never have a chance to question them
C．they think they deserve tickets for their mistakes
D．they have no courage to face the traffic police
57．The underlined word"submit"，in Paragraph 2 probably means"D"．
A．put down B．make up C．give up D．hand in
58．The inspiration of Fixed came fromC
A．similar software from Apple App store
B．marketing analysis provided by iPhone
C．David Hegarty's personal experience
D．successful cases of some drivers
59．What does the 4th Paragraph mainly tell us about？D
A．Why evidence is important in paying a ticket．
B．What people can do to avoid parking tickets．
C．Why a smart phone App attracts users．
D．How the iPhone App Fixed works．
60．According to the last paragraph，Fixed is unique becauseB
A．it is free for smartphone users
