六、阅读理解（共１５小题，每小题２分，满分３０分）
( A )
Dear sir,
Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works (全集) of William Shakespeare. Your company offered this set at a low price: 15 pounds and 50 pence. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems or some time, so I sent for them.
Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens which I had not wanted. So I returned the Dickens' books to you. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of Dickens’ books and a set of the plays of Moliere, in French. I do not read French, and they were not useful at all, so I wrote to you.
You did not answer that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. I have no room for any more books, and I have no time to read them all.
Please send no more books, no more bills and no more angry letters for payment. Just send one large truck and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours,
Simon Walker

CATV
CATV is a short way saying “community antenna (公用天线) television”. But “cable
television” is the name most people use. Cable television allows viewers(观众) to receive TV
programs that they can not pick up with their ordinary antenna.
Television signals (信号) do not follow the curve(曲线) of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station move towards the horizon(水平线) and then go into space. If you live only a few miles from a TV station, you may get a good picture on your set. But if you live more than 50 miles from a station, you may not get any pictured at all.
CATV began in 1948. People in places far from TV stations had to pay for putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local(当地的) station. From the station, thick wires called cable ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly charge(费用).
CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found for it. Local stations could feed programs into empty channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather report, and farm and school news at no extra charge.
Toddy, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antenna can not see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the country.

Finders Keepers?
Mel Kiser was driving along a busy highway in Columbus, Ohio. He saw an armored truck (运钞车) and a few cars ahead of him. Suddenly the doors of the armored truck opened, and a blue plastic bag fell out of the truck. A car in front of Mr. Kiser hit the bag. The bag ripped (撕破) and money spilled out. Then another bag fell out of the truck, and another. Money was flying everywhere.
At first, drivers thought the green papers on the highway were leaves. Then they realized that the green papers were not leaves－they were money! Drivers stopped their cars right in the middle of the highway. People jumped out of their cars and began picking up money. They were putting ten-, twenty-, and one-hundred-dollar bills into their pockets. One man said, “Money, money, money! It's all free! Grab some while you can!”
Mr. Kiser also got out of his car. He grabbed a plastic bag of money, put the bag in his car, and drove away.
Later Mr. Kiser counted the money. He had $57,000. For the next two hours Mr. Kiser thought about the money. He dreamed about spending it. He needed a new furnace(火炉) for his house. He wanted to take a vacation in Florida. But he decided to return the money. He drove to the police station and gave the police the $57,000.
The armored truck company offered 10 percent reward, so Mr. Kiser got a reward of 5,700. A few more people returned money and got rewards, but over one million dollars were still missing.
Then a man telephoned the armored truck company and aid, “I was, driving along the
highway when I saw the money. People were running everywhere. I had a camera in my car
and I took some pictures. Would you like the pictures?”
“Yes!” answered the company. The company gave the pictures to the police. The police looked closely at the pictures. They looked at the cars, the license plates, and the people's faces. They tried to find the people who had taken the money, but they didn’t have much luck.
One man telephoned a Columbus newspaper. The man did not give his name. “I took two bags of money,” he said. “I’m going to take the money and leave Columbus. I have enough money for the rest of my life.”
