Passage Two
One day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to New York 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 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. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer."
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 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 started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

"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 the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all the 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 what happens, sir."
"How long will the computer be down？" I wanted to know.
"I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for ten minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is 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 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(行李).

Last week when I was out shopping, I saw a middle-aged Western woman in a store downtown. In Chinese, she was trying to ask a storekeeper if he sold a certain kind of chair. However, she didn’t know much Chinese and her pronunciation was quite poor, so the storekeeper didn’t understand her. She seemed to be getting more and more frustrated, so I went over and asked in English if I could help, but she just ignored me and kept trying to explain things to the storekeeper herself. The storekeeper still didn’t understand her, so I asked again if I could translate for her. This time she looked at me and said she didn’t need my help. She also said that if I wanted to practice English I should go to an English corner. Then she turned around and left the store. She sounded annoyed and didn’t look very happy, so I didn’t follow her to try again. Why was she so rude and unfairly？ Did I do something wrong by asking if I could help her？ Don’t Westerners ever accept help from other people ？
听力原文：M: It's so hard for me to learn English. Why is it so easy for you？
W: I didn't know you were having problems. Maybe it's easier for me because I already speak two languages. But also, I really work at it.
M: Well, I always do my homework and go to classes. What else do you think would help？
W: Well, you might try reading newspapers. And I always talk to Americans when I get a chance, though sometimes it's hard.
M: But, how do you meet Americans？ I only know other foreign students.
W: How about sitting next to an American at lunch, or have you ever thought of asking someone over to your house for dinner？
M: Those are good ideas. But I'm a little shy to speak English.
W: You won't learn if you don't try and speak. If I were you, I'd talk to your English teacher. He might have some good ideas.
Why is it easier for the woman to learn English？
A．She often talks to English people.
B．She speaks two languages already.
C．She always does her homework right after class.
