One friend once said to me, "Do you know that most college students can't even put semi-co

lons(分号) in the right place？" Emphatic voices like his have recently made writing courses popular, strangely popular because of their hard-nosed attitude toward correct writing. Most administrators and teachers extend this medicinal metaphor (隐喻), they agree that students are suffering from a serious disease. Many tests identify increasing numbers of student writers as skills cripples (跛子), and they need treatment. Remedial courses are given everywhere. More writing labs are appearing and expanding.

Many students are willing to believe that there is really something wrong with them. More students than ever before tell me and my colleagues that they are indeed bad writers and need lots of help with grammar and punctuation. I feel like a doctor, my job is to diagnose (诊断) the disease and prescribe cures whenever I read student writing, It would be easy enough for me to circle spelling errors, cross out unnecessary commas, line out wordy sentences. And knowing that this sort of marking can sting, I would of course write, onto the end of the paper, something about how I know the student really tried hard, something about his rich imagination or his clear potential for doing well.

But I wonder whether all these well-intentioned scrawls (潦草写几句话) would do little more than confirm my student’s fears about how crippled he is.

According to the passage, a "skills cripple" is someone who ______. ()

A．is seriously ill

B．has a rich imagination

C．is a bad writer

D．has a serious injury to the leg

One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Street, when I remembered that it was necessa

ry to buy a pair of socks. Why I wished to buy only one pair is unimportant. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward, "What can I do for you, sir？" "I wish to buy a pair of socks." His eyes shone. There was a lot of excitement in his voice, "Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks？" I had no idea of that, as my entrance had been accidental(偶然的). "Come with me," said the boy, eagerly. I followed him to the back of the shop, and he began to pull down from the shelves box after box showing their socks for my choice.

"Hold on, lad, 1 am going to buy only one pair？ "I know that," said he, "but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren't they wonderful!' There was on his face an expression of seriousness and pride and delight as if he were showing to me the secret of his religion(宗教). I became far more interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in surprise. "My friend," said I, "if you can keep this up, if this is not just from a new job, if you can keep up this high spirit and excitement day after day, in ten years you will win every sock shop in the United States."

What did the writer want to buy one fine afternoon？

A．A pair of shoes.

B．A pair of socks.

C．Two pairs of shoes.

D．Two pairs of socks.

根据以下资料，回答1~4题。 As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which say

s that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead．At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road. Mr．Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads．It had a "Slow" sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely. At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped．A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, "You didn't stop at the crossing." "But the sign there doesn't say 'Stop'," answered Mr Williams．"It just says ‘Slow’, and 1 did go slow." The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face．Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll be blowed! I am in the wrong street!" At a crossroads, you reduce your car's speed when A．there is s stop sign B．there is a slow sign C．you are on the main road D．you are on the crossroad
