Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.

    That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program.

    Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (無知). Then the host has to answer and explain—how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.

    It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don’t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested or how silly they appear to be.

    I’m totally bored by those people. It’s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmers. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.

69. The sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole program” may tell us that _____.

A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way      B. it is a fact  

C. it is a good idea             D. some people have unclear thoughts

70. Some calls waste the host’s time __________.

A. because the host works hard     

B. because of the caller’s ignorance

C. because the host likes talking to the caller   

D. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller

 Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is  36  for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane  37  night after night. One would

 38  them to know their parts by heart and  39  have cause to falter(結(jié)巴).Yet 40 is not always the case.

  A famous actor in a  41  successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat  42  had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act,a gaoler(監(jiān)獄長,看守)would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.  43  the noble was expected to read the letter at each  44  ,he always insisted that it should be written out in full.

  One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke  45  his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the  46  of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed(使顯露)the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then,the gaoler  47  with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the  48 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 

 49  as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 50  to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then,squinting(瞇著眼看)his eves,he said,“The light is  51 .Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 52  that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied,“The light is indeed dim,sir. I must get my  53 ”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s  54  ,the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the  55  copy of the letter which he proceeded(繼續(xù)進行)to read to the prisoner.

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping   36  he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in   37 . He knows what he wants, and his goal is to find it and 38 it. All men  39 walk into a shop and ask the shop assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock(庫存), the deal can be done and    40   is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat to everyone’s   41  .
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn’t have what he wants. In that  42  , the salesman tries to sell something else—he    43 the nearest to the article required. A good salesman brings out such a substitute(替代品)   44  , and he may say, “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It   45   to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have   46   with this treatment, and the usual response is “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I shouldn’t be   47   my time and yours by trying it on.”
For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the   48  way. Her shopping is not often   49   on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always  50 to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that   51   thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected  52 . Faced with a roomful dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another      53 selecting the dress she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n)   54   one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting    55  .
