It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day
Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still, there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in.
For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie.
Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realised that the day's work in the office began just before Mr King arrived.
Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.
53．Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as_______.
A．she had been there only once B．Mr King was not in the office
C．nobody was doing any work D．the office had a new appearance
54．The people in the office suddenly started working because______
A．they saw a stranger in the office B．they had finished their morning break
C．no one wanted to talk to Marie D．the boss was about to arrive
55．We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise______
A．would start their work by listening to a joke
B．were cold to new comers
C．were always punctual for work
D．lacked devotion to the company
56．The best title for this text would be ______
A．Punctual Like a Clock B．A Cold Welcome
C．An Unpunctual Manager D．Better Late Than Never

An old and very wealthy friend of mine told me he had an unpleasant experience. He went to a famous jeweler shop and asked to be shown some gold necklaces. After examining several, he decided to buy a gold necklace with a precious stone, and asked if he could pay by cheque. The assistant said that was quite in order, but the moment my friend signed his name, he was invited into the manager's office.
The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had presented them with a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble. Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They were polite too, but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was responsible for a number of recent robberies (抢劫). Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of stores. The note read, “I have a gun in my pocket. Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer.” Fortunately, my friend's handwriting was quite unlike the thief's. He was not only allowed to go without further delay, but to take the necklace with him.
