I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Since I work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unluckily, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office.

The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town. By Friday, I realized that my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold out all the tickets.

1.The writer could go and buy the ticket __________.

A．any day before work hours

B．both before and after work hours

C．only during lunch time

D．on Saturday and Sunday

2.The writer tried to go to the theatre every day, but was only successful______.

A．twice                                 B．three times

C．four times                             D．five times

3.He failed to get the ticket on Friday because _________.

A．it was impossible to make the round trip to the theatre in 45 minutes

B．the concert wasn’t on Friday

C．it was expensive to take a taxi

D．all the tickets had been sold out

4.The word "______" can be used instead of the underlined(划线的)word "relieved".

A．nervous           B．terrified           C．pleased           D．sad

They say love can cover a lot of crimes; yet never have I seen it more beautifully showed than in the life of a dog named Jessie. Jessie came into our lives at the age of six months. By that time he had already experienced the hard knocks of life. He was found abandoned on the side of the road, where we adopted him and took him home.
From the beginning, it was obvious that Jessie was traumatized (受精神创伤的). He was afraid of everything: the car, the doors, the stairs, and just about everything else. We couldn’t foresee where Jessie’s fear would take us.
Jessie was with us for about six months, when we became foster parents to a mixed-breed young dog. Jessie did not like her at all. We all lived in a nervous co-existence, until dinnertime. Within moments a food fight erupted between Jessie and this foster child.
It all happened so fast, and I was in the middle. My husband managed to get in between the two dogs, grabbing Jessie by his collar. Jessie screamed all the way down the hall and into the bedroom. I, quickly put the foster dog into her own bedroom and hurried down the hall. The crashing I heard in the bedroom, scared me to death. But nothing prepared me for the scene I witnessed as I opened the bedroom door.
There was my husband, on top of a terrified Jessie, holding back his head. Blood dripped from my husband’s arm. To tell you the truth, as I was sitting beside my husband in the emergency room, I just didn’t know what to do with Jessie. I was so angry at that dog.
Day after day, week after week, however, my husband faithfully trained the dog that others would have put down. As his arm healed over the next months, something rare and beautiful began to take place. Jessie, under my husband’s gentle persuasion, began to understand and obey. And Jessie adored him. I could see, that although the tempest had ruled Jessie’s former life, affirmation and love had calmed the storm

Three months after the government stopped issuing（发放）or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security（安全）concerns, some café owners are having financial concerns of their own.

The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway, but for café owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.

“I heard in a request to open up an Internet café and received the conditions,” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45,000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR100,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes.”

Having an Internet café without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee. “I’m avoiding closing the place, but it’s been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is.” Obeidallah said. “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”

The decision took many café owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet café, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place, filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.

“I did all that was asked and rented a place. And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me, saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet café permits and that one can’t even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80, 000,” Al-harbi added.

As for government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way, but security concerns come before profit（盈利）.

67．The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes ______.

A. to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafes

B. to make café owners earn less profit from their business

C. to stop the use of the information superhighway on Internet

D. to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway

68．The government’s decision led to the fact that many café owners _______.

A. suffered heavy financial losses           B. asked to open up Internet cafes

C. continued to operate Internet cafes        D. asked the government for payment

69．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means _____.

A. to be studied                                 B. to be put into practice

C. to be changed                          D. to be improved

70．The café owners found the government’s decision ______.

A. surprising and unacceptable                     B. understandable and acceptable

C. reasonable but surprising                 D. surprising but acceptable
