Early in November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure (停电). The Mayor promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists (悲观主义者) were certain that it would happen again within five years. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which produced a serious disorder throughout the city. At that time the city was in one of its worst heat waves.

In 1965, there was little crime during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted (劫掠). Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policeman available was far from enough and some looters even carry guns.

Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most business remained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 P.M., when lightning hit and knocked out supply cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.

According to the first paragraph, who were right: the authorities or the pessimists？

A．The authorities.

B．The pessimists.

C．Both.

D．Neither.

py places of our own，far from the confines of our families. We saw this moving away as a chance to strike out on our own，to grow，to spread out wings and experience freedom. At the same time，we regarded this independence as temporary-the thing to do until we found the perfect mate and married. Over the years，many millions of people have made this passage from one family to another，with just a brief，often nervous interval of independence in between. But recently，more and more people have begun to challenge the concept that living together is better than living alone. Being single is now accepted as an alternative lifestyle-one that is natural，rewarding，and complete. In fact，being single has become almost fashionable.

听力原文： My first semester of college was the worst I've been through. I had made plans during the summer to share an apartment with two of my close friends from high school. But before we moved in，problems started developing.

One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of going to college。 However，a week before we were to move in，she found out that she didn't get the job. She is forced to live at home and look for work. The rest two of us lasted for a month and then agreed that we couldn't make it with the higher monthly rent payments. I started looking around.

I found another apartment and the rent wasn't bad. The place was noisy，but it was the best I could afford for the time. However，one day when I returned，I saw smoke coming from the back of the house. The cottage had caught fire，and my room was a burned mess。I was once more out of a place to stay.

I finally gave up looking around and moved home. I had to drive forty miles to school every day，so I almost spent as much on gas as I would have on lodging. I was very bored I almost lost the will to study. It had been really a bad semester!

nter-offer according to the different requests．

Dear Sirs,

Re: Men's Sweaters

Thank you for your letter of May 18 and samples.

We appreciate the good quality of men's sweaters, but we find your prices appear to be on the high side and out of line with the current price in the market．It would leave us only a small profit on our sales if we accept the prices you quoted.

We appreciate the quality of your goods and would like to have the opportunity to do business with you, but we have also to point out that the men's sweaters are available in our market from several European manufactures．All the prices quoted by them are lower about 10% than yours for the same quality．Therefore we suggest you should make a reduction by 10%.

It is in view of our long-standing business relations that we make you such a counter-offer．We hope you will take our counter-offer into consideration favorably and fax us your acceptance immediately.

We are looking forward to your early reply.

Yours faithfully,

(Signature)
