1、Herman had worked for the bank of Ruritania for ten years and was

still only a clerk. He was not satisfied with the position and

wanted to find something better. Yet he did not want to lose his

position in bank before he had got another one, so he prepared a

letter about himself, with the words "HELP! I AM A PRISONER OF THE

BANK OF RURITANIA!" in big letters across the top. Then he sent it

to several other banks, asking them for a job.

A

2、It has been reported that in

colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known

as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11

a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap

opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of

their favorite characters.

Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a

youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in

front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she

turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her

favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young

people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very

different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was

about social issues of great importance.

Now,

seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be

happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera,

which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap

opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera

character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy

love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young

people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any

responsibility for their problems.

(3)、Which is

NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among

American young people ?

A：Because

the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.

B：Because

the soap opera makes young people feel close to their

people.

C：Because

the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera

characters.

D：Because

the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their

troubles.

答案： D

(4)、What can

we learn from the passage? _________

A：College

students like soap operas more than any other social

groups.

B：Young

people of sixties liked soap operas more than people

today.

C：young

viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to

enjoyment now.

D：The young

as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in

vain.

答案： C
