In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or
ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man
so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him
feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to
explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back
their tears, of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and
see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock
classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the
English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come
with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him
to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.”
I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the
least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out
those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was
wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the
cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from
the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he
said, “The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”
What is the passage mainly discussing?
A. Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.
B. Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.

Subject: Progress on Hillcrest Apartments for September
Construction on the Hillcrest Apartment complex began on August 17 and fell behind schedule almost immediately because of the heavy rains that month.
Current Status
We have not been able to make up the time that we lost in August because of the continuing rain in September. Close supervision and some overtime have prevented us from falling farther behind. We are currently 18 days behind schedule, assuming crew size remains the same and overtime is limited to emergencies only. The foundation for the entire complex is complete. Framing on the 14# townhouse and the gym is complete, and the framers will begin work on the two-bedroom units on Monday, October 6. The electrical and plumbing subcontractors will also begin work on Monday.
Expected Progress
If the weather holds through the rest of this month, I expect to be finished with framing, roofing, and siding by mid-November. That will allow us to begin work on the interiors before the winter rains begin. One possible problem is the shortage of electricians. Our subcontractor has not been willing to consider providing an additional 5 workers to help us make up for some of the time we have lost. Delays on the electrical, will, of course, delay the finish work.
Nevertheless, when we move indoors, we should be able to reduce the total crew by more than 50 percent and begin using the framers and roofers on other projects.
What is the main reason for the delay of the construction on Hillcrest Apartments?
A.The bad weather
B.Ineffective supervision
C.Deficient crew size
D.Complex geographical conditions
