Pearman put his head close to the window. "Come on, mister. Give me a chance. I need a job," he said. Something in Stephen Pearman's voice moved Robert Fred. In the seconds before traffic started moving again, Fred handed, Pearman a business card and told him to call if he was serious.
"My friends told me he was just pulling my leg," said Pearman. "But I said, ' No, he's a businessman. I need to give it a shot.'"
Two days later, 29-year-old Pearman appeared in the manager's office of the big hotel. Fred gave him a job and housing and lent him pocket money while training him.
Today, Pearman works full-time setting up the hotel's dining halls for business meetings. In the past two years, he has found a flat, married and repaid Fred's loans.
"Mr. Fred gave me a second chance," says Pearman, "and I took advantage of it. I could have just come here a while, eaten up and left. But there is no future in washing windshields."
Ordinarily, Fred keeps away from the street People. "But Pearman seemed so honest and open, asking for a chance rather than just money," Fred says: "I don't hand my business card to just any- body. But I'm. glad I did in this case."
When Pearman offered to wash the windshield for Fred, ______.
A.Fred gladly agreed to let him do it
B.Pearman was told to do it later
C.Fred took him as a beggar

"Well, no one knows, but it's interesting to guess."
"In the year 2050 everyone will carry a pocket computer. The computer will give people the answer to all their problems. We shall all have telephones, in our pockets , too , and we'll be able to talk to our friends all over the world. Perhaps we'll be able to see them at the same time."
"A lot of people will live and work under the sea. Perhaps there will be big towns, factories, and farms under the sea, too."
"Machines will do most of the work ,and so people will have more holidays. Perhaps they'll work only two or three days a week. They'll be able to fly to the moon by spaceship and spend their holidays there. '
"I'm looking forward to the year 2050. I hope to fly to the moon."
"And I hope I'll be able to live under the sea, "says Fred. "Won't that be very interesting? Just like a fish!"

What's the topic discussed in this passage?
A.Why people hold back their tears.
B.Why people cry.
C.How to restrain one's tears.
D.How tears are produced.
听力原文: Why do we cry? Can you imagine life without tears? Not only do tears keep your eyes lubricated, they also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so they can't infect your eye. Give up your tears, and you'll lose this onthespot defense. Nobody wants to give up the flood of extra tears you produce when you get something physical or chemical in your eyes. Tears are very good at washing this irritating stuff out. Another thing you couldn't do without your tears is cry from joy, anger or sadness. Humans are the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions, and most people say a good cry makes them feel better. Many scientists, therefore, believe that crying somehow helps us cope with emotional situations. Tear researcher, Winifred, is trying to figure out how it hap pens. One possibility he says is that tears discharge certain chemicals from your body, chemicals that build up during stress. When people talk about crying it out, "I think that might actually be what they are doing", he says. If Fred is right, what do you think will. happen to people who restrain their tears? Boys, for example, cry only about a quarter as often as girls once they reach teenage years, and we all cry a lot less now than we did as babies. Could it possibly be that we face less stress? Maybe we found another ways to deal with it, or maybe we just feel embarrassed.
