Typhoons (台风) in the northern part of the world have girls’ names．Sometimes they have very beautiful names．Rose is a pretty name but there was nothing pretty about Typhoon Rose．It was the worst typhoon to hit Hong Kong in ten years．

It began to rain in the morning of Monday, August 16th, 1971．At ten o’clock in the morning, Typhoon Rose was still 130 miles away but already the wind was blowing people’s umbrella away．The wind became stronger and stronger．The typhoon shelters (避风港) were soon full of boats．Ships that were too big to go inside the shelters put down more anchors (锚)．Some very big ships went out to sea．It is safer for a big ship to be at sea in a typhoon because it cannot be blown onto rocks．Kai Tak Airport closed．No planes were able to take off or land．At 9:00 in the evening, all the lights went out．

No one slept well that night．It is difficult to sleep in such bad weather．

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的的正确形式。

Woman: Our design class is really interesting. Don't you think so?

Man: Yeah, I like Professor Vargas, 1. sometimes he goes too fast, and I feel like I'm missing something. There's a lot we have 2. (remember).

Woman: True. There are a lot of details about all the different styles.

Man: Yeah, there are Art Nouveau, and Art Deco, and Art Moderne... I have a hard time 3. (keep) it all straight.

Woman: I know what you mean.

Man: For example, it seems to me 4. Art Deco and Art Moderne are the same things.

Woman: Well, it's somewhat confusing. They were both popular in 5. 1930s although Art Deco came a little before Moderne. I think Professor Vargas 6. (say) Art Deco started at an exhibition in Paris in 1925. Let me check out my notes. Right, Art Deco was a popular international art design movement from 1923 until the 1940s, 7. (affect) the decorative arts such as architecture and 8. (industry) design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts and film.

Man: So, they were about the same time. It's one thing that gets confusing. 9. thing is, they seem so similar that it's hard to see why they're 10. (consider) different styles.

There seems to be a general assumption that brilliant people cannot stand routine ; that they need a varied , exciting life in order to do their best . It is also assumed that dull people are particularly suited for dull work . We are told that the reason the present-day young complain so loudly about the dullness of jobs is that they are better educated and brighter than the young of the past .

Actually , there is no evidence that people who achieve a lot desire , let alone live , colorful lives . The opposite is nearer the truth . Einstein worked out his theory of relativity while serving as a clerk in a Swiss patent office . Immanuel Kant’s（康德）daily life was a dull routine . The housewives of Konigsberg set their clocks when they saw him pass , on his way to the university . He took the same walk each morning , rain or shine . The greatest distance Kant ever traveled was sixty miles from Konigsberg .

It may be true that work on the assembly line（流水线）dulls the abilities and empties the mind , and the cure is only fewer hours of work at higher pay . But during fifty years as a workingman , I have found dull routine coexisting with an active mind . While doing dull , repetitive work by the water , I could talk with my partners and compose sentences in my mind , all at the same time . Chances are that had my work been too interesting I could not have done any thinking and composing at work or even on my own time after returning from work .

People who find dull jobs unbearable are often dull people who do not know what to do with themselves at leisure . Children and mature people will get used to dull routine , while the adolescent , who has lost the child’s ability for concentration and is without the inner resources of the mature , needs excitement and novelty to get rid of boredom .

1. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that __________ .

A. great minds hate to live colorful lives

B. Einstein worked out his theory in a university

C. Kant only took the same walk on rainy and sunny days

D. Kant might pass Konigsberg every day at the same time

2.How does the author feel about his repetitive work by the water ?

A. It made his mind empty .

B. It was well-paid but too demanding .

C. It worked well with his active mind .

D. It was too interesting to think of anything else .

3.The reasons why youngsters dislike dull work include the following EXCEPT that they __________ .

A. are not mature enough

B. think themselves smart

C. often complain about others

D. don’t know how to spend spare time

4.What is the purpose of the passage ?

A. To argue for the benefits of dull work .

B. To present some facts about dull work .

C. To share his own dull working experience .

D. To persuade young people to live a dull life .
