Everyone has an ambition to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency, arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this, working
in a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of his work is concerned with holiday, both at home and abroad. Every autumn, the agency sends out hundreds of booklets full of attractive,
colored photographs, describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year. Soon, people begin to come into the office to book their holidays: perhaps a week’s skiing in
Austria in January, perhaps a cruise to the Caribbean in February, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable f
or them, and they always have a lot of questions. Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering holiday in the Alps, and Brian had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise
instead.?
Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated, but Brian enjoys this work. For example, last spring Mr Perry,a director of chemical firm, went on a
business trip, and Brian arranged it all for him. First, Mr Perry traveled to London by trainband stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport, because his plane left early the next morning. He flew to
Frankfurt in Germany, where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich, where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning, he caught a plane for
Tokyo, and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle, Chicago and New York, and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York, he flew back to
London,and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.?

When I was about 12,I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.
Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my
father with tears in my eyes.?
He listened to me quietly, then he asked.” Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of
everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” ?
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin),but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a fairly clear picture of myself.?
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.” That’s just for you,” he said.” You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears
in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all,
but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”?
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.?
68.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage??
A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend?
B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had?
C. My Father?
D. My Childhood?
69.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean??
A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.?
C.I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.?
D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.?
70.Why did her father listen to her quietly??
A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.?
B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.?
C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.?
D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.?
71.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint??
A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.?
B. He criticized(批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.?
C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.?
D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.?
