摘要: Mr. Walker told them to take away all the forks except Shakespeare's books. (B ) CATV CATV is a short way saying “community antenna television . But “cable television is the name most people use. Cable television allows viewers to receive TV programs that they can not pick up with their ordinary antenna. Television signals do not follow the curve of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station move towards the horizon and then go into space. If you live only a few miles from a TV station, you may get a good picture on your set. But if you live more than 50 miles from a station, you may not get any pictured at all. CATV began in 1948. People in places far from TV stations had to pay for putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the station, thick wires called cable ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly charge. CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found for it. Local stations could feed programs into empty channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather report, and farm and school news at no extra charge. Toddy, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antenna can not see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the country. 根据短文内容.选择正确答案.

Dear Sir,

  Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works(全集)of William Shakespeare. Your company offered this set at a low price: 15 pounds and 50 pence. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, so I sent for them.

  Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens which I had not wanted. So I returned the Dickens' books to you. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of Dickens' books and a set of the plays of Moliere, in French. I do not read French, and they were not useful at all, so I wrote to you.

  You did not answer that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. I have no room for any more books, and I have no time to read them all.

  Please send no more books, no more bills and no more angry letters for payment. Just send one large truck and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

Yours,

Simon Walker
