It was as he swung around to look in his toolbox for the cigarettes that Eddie saw the lump. Right in the middle of the brand new bright red carpet, there was a lump. A lump the size of a packet of cigarettes.
"I've done it again? said Eddie angrily. "I've left the cigarettes under the carpet?
He had done this once before, and taking up and refitting the carpet had taken him two hours. Eddie was determined that he was not going to spend another two hours in this house. He decided to get rid of the lump another way. It would mean wasting a good packet of cigarettes, nearly full, but anything was better than taking up the whole carpet and fitting it again .He turned to his toolbox for a large hammer.
Eddie didn't want to damage the carpet itself, so he took a block of wood and placed it on top of the lump. Then he began to beat the block of wood as hard as he could. He kept beating, hoping Mrs. Vanbrugh wouldn't hear the noise and come to see what he was doing. It would be difficult to explain why he was hammering the middle of her beautiful new carpet... The lump was beginning to flatten out.
After three or four minutes, the job was finally finished. Eddie picked up his tools, and began to walk out to his car. Mrs. Vanbrugh accompanied him. She seemed a little worried about something.
"Young man, while you were working today, you didn't by any chance see any sign of Armand, did you? Armand is my bird. I let him out of his cage, you see, this morning, and he's disappeared. He likes to walk around the house, and he usually just comes back to his cage after an hour or so and gets right in. Only today he didn't come back. He's never done such a thing before, it's most peculiar..."
"No, madam, I haven't seen him anywhere," said Eddie, as he reached to start the car.
And he saw his packet of Marlboro cigarettes on the panel, where he had left it at lunchtime....
And he remembered the lump in the carpet...
What did Eddie want to do when he had finished fitting the carpet?
A.To have a cigarette.
B.To hammer the carpet flat.
C.To put back his tools.
D.To start work in the dining room.

Both were beneficiaries of the technology boom of the late 1990s, and both are now among its victims. Yet for many, losing a job is proving more of a beginning than an end.
Painful and frightening as the process may be, individuals caught in the dotcom downdraft say they are making fundamental changes-the kind that could, in total, alter the outlook and values of many in their generation.
One thing is already certain. The character portrait of the dotcom generation, spoiled, self-centered, and unacquainted with the real world, is rapidly disappearing. In its place, a culture is emerging that puts greater emphasis on growth and opportunity at work, and less on salary and stock options. And for many, there is a deeper questioning of the meaning of life and career, say career guidance experts.
This is a far cry from the work-is-everything, sleep under-the desk, never-log-off, get-it-while-you-can mentality that has permeated the Internet culture.
Ms. Shah graduated from University of California Berkeley's business school last year and found a waiting court of recruiters. She selected work at an e-commerce strategy group, and the pieces were all fitting together. But when Shah was laid off earlier this year, "it was a real wake-up call," she says. "In college you're constantly planning for the next phase of life, your job and your career, "she explains. "But now I'm feeling different. I'm not living just for the next step."
At about the same time Mr. Stambaugh was still thriving at his job in Redwood City. He worked in business-development department of a start up that created Internet map technology.
But that wasn't what he had in mind when he entered Cornell University and successfully pursued a degree in landscape architecture, a field that connected with his love of the outdoors and plants. After graduation in 1999, though, Stambaugh headed to Silicon Valley, persuaded by friends who were quickly landing jobs and making good money. But by last fall, Stambaugh was sending pained e-mails to his sister back east. In one, he complained that his work to create better and better Internet products had become "absent of the things I value."
The economy, in a sense, put an end to his disillusionment, forcing his dotcom out of business a few months ago.
These days, Stambaugh has less money, but an out door tan and high spirits. He is project manager for a landscape firm, spending most of his day meeting with customers and discussing their gardening and landscape dreams. "I'm a different individual now," he says. "I'm happy on a real high level."
Of course there are many still employed in the Internet world, and loving it. But even among the employed, there is a new uncertainty. The unemployment rate in Santa Clara Country for April jumped sharply, a reminder that the flow of pink slips could continue to accelerate.
Even for many of those who continue to work in technology, attitudes seem different. Says Mr. Epperheimer: "The pendulum has moved back to a more balanced approach to work and life."
The experience of Ms. Shah and Mr. Stambaugh is described mainly to show that______.
A.they are victims of the blowup, of dotcom bubble
B.the dotcom generation reviews its values
C.one should be far-sighted in choosing one's career
D.prosperity may prove to be a curse in disguise
