    Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday
when it la nded upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot
(行李箱).
    Mr. Johnson"s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting
a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr.Johnson said. "I couldn"t force the doors
because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew
water would come flooding in."
    Mr.Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists
by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot.Then he began his struggle to escape.
     Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and
I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make
someone hear, but no help came."
     It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the
boot.Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock.Fifteen minutes passed by. "It
was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.
I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up."
     His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr.Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked
after by the farmer"s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like
hours." Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night.The vehicle had sunk into two feet
of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

    The most frightening words in the English language are, "Our computer is down." You hear it more and
more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and
the girl in the ticket office said, "I"m sorry, I can"t sell you a ticket.Our computer is down."
    "If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
     "I can"t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
     I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring
at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?"
     "We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us
or not."
      "So when it goes down, you go down with it."
     "That"s good, sir."
      "How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
      "I have no idea. Sometimes it"s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There"s no way we can
find out without asking the computer, and since it"s down it won"t answer us."
      After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let"s forget the computer. What
about your planes? They"re still flying, aren"t they?"
      "I couldn"t tell without asking the computer."
      "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he"s flying to Washington," I suggested.
      "I wouldn"t know what gate to send you to.Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn"t take
you if you didn"t have a ticket."
     "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"
      "I wouldn"t know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only "IT" knows."It" can"t tell me."
      By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that
the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their
luggage.

1. The best title for the article is _____.

[ ]

A. When the Computer Is Down
B. The Most Frightening Words
C. The Computer of the Airport
D. Asking the Computer

2. What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?

[ ]

A. She could sell a ticket.
B. She could write out a ticket.
C. She could answer the passengers" questions.
D. She could do nothing.

3. Why do you think they had not a backup computer?

[ ]

A. Because it was easy down

    Years ago, when my co-worker, Andrea, asked if I"d like to come to a clothing exchange, I was interested,
"What"s that?" I asked. "A bunch of us who are about the same   1   are getting together to exchange clothes
that are in good condition", she explained. "  2 me in!" I said.
   That night, I   3   my closet, finding shirts, skirts and pants I hadn"t worn in months-or years! I looked at
the clothes I had   4   and wondered if anyone would want them. When I arrived at Andrea"s, I found a group
of co-workers-and piles of clothes   5   around the living room. I also found homemade food and wine to   6 .
    We chatted for a while, then the exchange began. We drew lots (抽签), each   7 selecting from the piles.
Hey! I   8 my shirt and jacket had been chosen by my co-workers. I guess my "tired" clothes did   9   special
to new eyes. Then, the floor was  10  to everyone and a free-for-all  11  as we ran around choosing and  12
things on.
    And as our choices were  13 , we went back to the dining room to eat and talk. I left that night with  14  as
many items as I"d brought-including a green silk evening dress I knew my daughter would love to dress up in-
and the  15  of an evening with a group of really special women.
    Now our "Exchange Club" has become a tradition-and we  16  everything from kitchen gadgets to
houseplants, and  17  Christmas presents!
     18 , as we"ve exchanged the "stuff" of our lives, we"ve exchanged our  19  office acquaintance for real
friendship-and for me, that"s been the most  20  exchange of all.
