I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days. I'm saying this because I think I just found mine!
I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really 36 schedule, which meant I would have no time for myself all day. I was having one of those days, the train was completely 37 and the conversation going on around me seemed to be particularly 38 . Besides, I had a bit of a headache. _39 quickly across the station hall, I fished some 40 from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit 41 The Big Issue ( a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living).
_42 the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the
Big Issue. She really looked like she'd been sleeping 43 . Her clothes were 44 and she obviously hadn't ]lad a scrub up (擦洗) for quite a while.
As I 45 the exit, I saw that she was 46 from side to side. At first I thought maybe she was trying to keep 47 against the biting wind. But she wasn't, she was moving in time to a 48 . I couldn’t hear her, but I could see her lips moving.
When I got closer, I saw a white 49 hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes. She was 50 , dirty and living on tile streets. I came closer and through the 51 of the traffic I heard her 52 the immortal (不朽的)line, "... and I think to myself, what a wonderful world!"
I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally 53 . She thanked me, then she 54_ her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement – still singing!
So, I have my happy 55 for the day. And I think it will stay with me a long, long time.

One of the founding fathers of the internet has predicted the end of traditional television. Vint Serf, who helped to build the internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television was approaching its “iPod moment.”
In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPods, he said that viewers would soon be downloading most of their favorite programmers onto their computers. “85 percent of all video we watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it at any time,”said Mr. Cerf, who is now the vice-president of Goggle.
“You’re still going to need live television for certain things--like news, sporting events and emergencies--but increasingly it will be almost like iPod, where you download content to look at later.”
Although television-on-demand has not yet become a main activity in the UK, the BBC, 1TV and Channel 4 have all invested a lot of money in technology which Mr. Cerf think will enable viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.
However, some critics(批评家)have warned that the Internet will collapse(崩溃)if millions of people try to download programmers at the same time.
Over the next four years, scientists think the number of videos watched over the Internet will double, with people moving from short chips to hour-long programmes.
Broadband companies claim that the service will cause“traffic jams”,which will cost millions of pounds to solve. Mr. Cerf dismissed these warnings, saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it at the same time, “We’re far from exhausting (用尽)the capacity,” he said.“I want every one of the six billion people in the planet to be able to connect to the Internet.”
61.Vint Cerf is all the following EXCEPT that ___________.
A. a researcher in the United States
B. the vice-president of Goggle
C. one of the founders of the Internet
D. a manager of a broadband company
62. Which of the following is NOT something Vint Cerf has predicted?
A. Traditional television will soon have its iPod moment.
B. The number of videos watched over the Internet will double.
C. Viewers will be able to download TV programmers onto their iPods.
D. Viewers will be able to watch their favorite TV shows on the Internet.
63. According to the passage, people can always do all the following EXCEPT ____________.
A. watch short clips over the Internet
B. download live TV over the Internet
C. download per-recorded videos over the Internet
D. listen to their favorite music on their computers
64. Some critics are now predicting __________.
A. the Internet will collapse if millions of people use it at the same time
B. people all over the world will be able to connect to the Internet
C. the Internet will crash if too many people download TV programmes at the same time
D. the videos people watch over the Internet
65. This passage mainly tells us __________.
A. a Goggle expert is predicting the end of traditional television
B. the Internet will never be used to download people's favourite shows
C. the Internet will become more popular
D. something about Vint Cerf
