In 1901, H.G.Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon.When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met.In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise.“Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H.G.Wells could only imagine travel to the moon.In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon.People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon.However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one.A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems are already in place.Many cities have underground car parks.In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas.The “Chunnel”, a tunnel(隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on.A solar dome(太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space.The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness.H.G.Wells’ “moon people” would agree.Would you?

He’s an old cobbler(修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me, “I haven’t time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he’ll fix them for you right away.”

But I’d had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人) . “No,” I replied, “The other fellow can’t do it well.”

“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” —without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.

The man saw I wouldn’t give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron(围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.”

I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.

“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”

When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.

These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption(消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.

1.Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?

A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.

B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.

C. He was proud of his skills.

D. He was a native Parisian.

2.The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend”(Paragraph 7) implies that .

A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him

B. it was difficult to communicate with this man

C. the man was very strange

D. the man was too old

3.According to the author, many people work just to .

A. realize their abilities

B. gain happiness

C. make money

D. gain respect

4.This story wants to tell us that .

A. craftsmen make a lot of money

B. whatever you do, do it well

C. craftsmen need self-respect

D. people are born equal
