The Supercomputer Network
1 Recently, ten laboratories run by governments in different parts of the world have become linked.Their computers have been connected so they can“talk”to each other. This may not seem very dramatic news，but it is the beginning of a development that will increase the power of the Internet tremendously.
2 The lnternet is an interconnected (互联)system of networks that connects computers round the world and facilitates the transmission and exchange of information. The way that you use the Intermit is by accessing this network.This depends on the power that your system allows you to use.The power of your computer is responsible for how fast you can download(下载)files，how much data you can store，etc.If your computer is old and slow，accessing the information can be very difficult.
3 The new development in information technology has been called“the grid”(网格技术)，and it will be a network of computers that are linked together.The“grid”will work in a different way from the I internet. enabling you to get the power of the biggest computers in the world on your computer.Accessing the information will no longer depend on the power of your computer.The idea is that while you access information，you will also have ‘access to the power of the bigger computer stations.
4 One advantage of this revolutionary idea is that geographical location will become irrelevant.The“grid”will decide which are the best parts of a worldwide network to do the job you want.This means that you may be accessing a computer In Japan to solve a problem in Alaska.
5 The“grid”can be compared to having an efficient personal assistant.You can gave your assistant a task and“he”w{Il d0 it for you.The assistant will do the preliminary research，collect the data，compare them and decide on the best course of action by accessing any of the computer centers in the “grid” that happen to have the relevant information.Ail you have to do is assign the task，sit back and wait.
6 At present.possible applications of the“grid”in scientific research are being explored.While it has taken about fifteen years for Internet use to become widespread， experts believe that the “grid” could be us and running for private individuals far more quickly.Scientists working“grid’’projects are convinced that it will be as widely used as the web in the next ten years.
23 Paragraph 2____________
24 Paragraph 3____________
25 Paragraph 4____________
26 Paragraph 5____________
A How does the “grid” work?
B Power shared
C Just make a request
D Limitations of present Internet use
E Distance is not a problem
F A new era for the Internet
27 Traditionally the power of your computer determines how fast you can access____________
28 The “grid” will enable you to get on your computer the power of___________
29 The “grid” would be like____________ who can perform your tasks efficiently
30 It is believed that the widespread use of the “grid” will become possible in the next__________
A the bigger computer stations
B the advantage
C ten years
D information
E your personal assistant
F fifteen years
第4部分：阅读理解(第31—45题，每题3分，共45分)
第一篇Sunspots
It's not surprising that sunspotswere observed by ancient astronomers。The largest soupspoon the sun can be seen without a telescope.It was not until the invention of the telescope(望远镜)in the early 17th.century，however，that systematic studies of sunspots could be undertaken.The great astronomer Galileo was among the first to make telescopic observations of sunspots
Sunspots are regions of extremely strong magnetic fields(磁场)found on the sun’S surface.A sunspot has a dark central core known as the umbra.The umbra is surrounded by a dark ring called the penumbra，where the magnetic field spreads outward.Sunspots appear dark because they are giving off less radiation.They are cooler than the rest of the sun’ S surface Sunspots are frequently observed’in-'pairs of in paired groups.The members of a.spot pair are identified as the leading spot and the following spot.They are identified by their position in the pair in terms of the direction in Which the sun rotates(旋转) The number of sunspots at any one time varies.A large spot group may consist of as many as 10 groups and 300 spots across the sun.The number of spots changes in a fairly regular pattern called the sunspot cycle.The largest number occurs about every 11 years.At sunspot minim L{m，there are at most just a few small spots The average lifetime of an individual spot group is roughly one solar rotation，which is about 25 days.The most persistent large slops，however can survive for two to three months.

第二篇 Where Have All the Bees Gone?
Scientists who study insects have a real mystery on their hands.All across the country, honeybees are leaving their hives(蜂巢)and never returning.Researchers call this phenomenon colony-collapse(群体瘫痪)disorder.It is reposed that 25 to 40 percent of the honeybees in the US have vanished from their hives since last fall.So far, no one can explain why.
Colony collapse is a serious concern because bees play an important role in the production of about one—third of the foods we eat.As they feed，honeybees spread pollen (花粉)from flower to flower.Without this process，a plant can’t produce seeds or fruits.
Now，a group of scientists and beekeepers have teamed up to try to figure out what’S causing the alarming collapse of SO many colonies.They hope to find out what’S contributing to the decline and to prevent bee disappearance in the future.
It could be that disease is causing the disappearance of the bees.To explore that possibility, Jay Evans，a researcher at the United States Department of Agriculture (SDA)Bee Research Laboratory, examines bees taken from colonies that are collapsing.“We know what a healthy bee should Look Like on the inside.and we can look for physical signs of disease.”he says.And bees from collapsing colonies don’t look very healthy.“Their stomachs are worn down.compared to the stomachs of healthy bees，’’ ‘Evans says.It may be that a parasite(寄生虫)making the bees’digestive organs. Their immune(免疫的)systems may not be working as they should.Moreover，they have high levels of bacteria inside their bodies.
Another cause of colony—collapse disorder may be certain chemicals that farmers apply to kill unwanted insects on crops，says Jerry Hayes，chief bee inspector for the Florida Department of Agriculture.Some studies，he says，suggest that a certain type of insecticide(杀虫剂)affects the honeybee’S newels system and memory.“It seems like honeybees are going out and getting confused about where to go and what to do”he says.
1f it turns out that a disease is contributing to colony collapse，bees’genes could explain why some colonies have collapsed and others have not.In any group of bees there are many different kinds of genes.The more different genes a group has，the higher the group’S genetic diversity.So far scientists haven’t determined the role of genetic diversity in colony collapse，but it's a promising theory，says Evans.

第三篇A Tale of Scottish Rural Life
Lewis Grasses Gibbon’s Sunset Song(1932)was voted“the best Scottish novel of all time”by Scotland’s reading public in 2005.Once considered shocking for its frank description of aspects of the lives of Scotland’s poor rural farmers，it has been adapted for stage，film。TV and radio in recent decades.
The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kin Addie，in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War I.At its heart is the story of Chris，who is both part of the community and a little outside it.
Grasses Gibbon gives us the most detailed and intimate account of the life of his heroine(女主人公).We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard—working father;experience tragedy(her mother’s suicide and murder of her twin children);and learn about her feelings as she grows into a woman.We see her marry， Lose her husband，then marry again.Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot, believe that she is the creation of a man.
But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris.It is truly a novel of a place and its people.Its opening section tells of Kin Addie’s long history, in a language that imitates the place’s changing patterns of speech and writing.
The story itself is amazingly full of characters and incidents.It is told from Chris’point of view but also from that of the gossiping community，a community where everybody knows everybody else’s business and nothing is ever forgotten.
Sunset Song has a social theme too.It is concerned with what Grasses Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War I.Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this，the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths.In particular, it takes away Chris’husband，Evan Avondale.The war finally kills Evan，but not in the way his widow is told，In fact.the Germans amen’t responsible for his death，but his own side.He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.
If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead.It is a“Sunset Song”but is concerned too with the new Kin Addie，indeed of the new European world. Grasses Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.

Rising Tuition in the US
Every Spring，US university administrators gather to discuss the next academic year’s budget.They consider faculty salaries，utility costs for dormitories，new building needs and repairs to old ones.They run the numbers and conclude—it seems，inevitably —that，yet again，the cost of tuition must go up.

Amid the news about continued increases in college costs，however，there is some good news.Tuition increases have been accompanied by roughly equal increases in financial aid at almost every university.To receive financial aid，US students complete a formal application with the federal government. The federal government then decides whittler an applicant is eligible(有资格的)for grants or loans________(50)
A. The application is then sent to the student's university, where the school itself will decide whether free money will be given to the student and how much
B. At public universities, however, tuition increases must also be approved by a state education committee, sometimes called the board of governors
C. The school currently charges US$23,410 a year for tuition.
D. Many American people are simply unable to pay the growing cost of food
E. That's more than double the rate of inflation.
F. The state government covers the rest

Carol’s husband was killed in a car accident last year.
Jim, only 52, was 21 home from work. The other driver was a teenager who had 22 a lot. Jim died at once. The teenager was in the 23 for less than three hours.
It was Carol’s fiftieth birthday, and Jim had two plane tickets to Hawaii in his pocket. He was going to 24 her. However, he was killed by a drunken driver.

Air is an odorless (无气味的), invisible (看不见的) gas that surrounds the earth. It is everywhere on the planet. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, to give two examples, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.
Air, as a gas, has no definite (明确的) shape, but, because it is matter, it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom（底部） of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside-down. Push the upside-down glass; hold it straight into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.
41. The writer tells us that _______.
A. the experiment is done in the laboratory
B. the experiment is done outside the room
C. the experiment is easily done
D. the experiment is carried out indoors
42. Which of the following pictures gives us the correct result?
(W—water; A—air; H—handkerchief)

China’s second manned space flight will be done by two astronauts over five days in 2005. “Shenzhou-VI will be sent into space sometime in 2005,” said Zuo Saichun, a spokesperson of the China Aerospace Science and Technology (CAST). “The spacecraft（宇宙飞船） will make new breakthroughs in China’s manned space technology.”
Unlike Shenzhou-V, a little more than a year ago (in October, 2003), the next flight will see two astronauts fly in space for five days. Their capsule (太空舱) is designed to be capable of orbiting for a whole week, the spokesperson said. “For the first time, astronauts will enter and live in the orbital module（舱） of the spacecraft to do scientific experiments,” said a statement from CAST. CAST did not say what those experiments will be.
In Shenzhou-VI, scientists have changed the spacecraft’s configuration (构形) to reduce its weight, and tried to improve the performance of on-board equipment. They have also worked to make sure of the energy supply of the spacecraft and further improve its safety. So far, scientists have worked out ways to solve problems on environmental control and life support. Shenzhou-VI will be sent into orbit atop a Long March 2F rocket.
Meanwhile, a model of the Chang’e-1 satellite is expected to be sent to orbit the moon in two years. The satellite, part of the three-stage programme, would be followed by the landing of an unmanned vehicle on the moon in the second stage by 2010 and collecting samples of lunar soil by 2020 in the final stage, according to Sun Laiyan, director of the China National Space Administration.
43. Which of the following about Shenzhou-VI is NOT true?
A. It will be sent into space in 2005.
B. It is capable of orbiting for two weeks.
C. It will be sent into orbit atop a Long March 2F rocket.
D. It will be sent into space with two astronauts.
44. According to the passage, the following problems should be solved before Shenzhou-VI is sent into space EXCEPT ______.
A. environmental control B. energy supply
C. life support D. lunar soil collecting
45. Which of the following does NOT belong to the three-stage programme?
A. Shenzhou-VI’s being sent into space.
B. A model of the Chang’e-1 satellite will be sent to orbit the moon.
C. The landing of an unmanned vehicle on the moon.
D. Collecting samples of lunar soil.
46. The passage mainly tells us ______.
A. some problems need solving before Shenzhou-VI is sent into space
B. Shenzhou-VI will be sent into space in 2005
C. what China’s space programme is
D. how China’s three-stage programme is carried out
C
Flying to the moon
Scientist wanted to know more about the moon. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon. The moon is about 384 000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket.
How does a rocket fly? There is gas in the rocket. When the gas made very hot inside the rocket，it will rush out of the end of the rocket，so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.
Rocket can fly far out into space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets with men have flown to another planet much farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space.
47.Scientists can be sent to the moon by .
A.plane B.rocket C.satellite D.man-made satellite
48.The earth is about 384 000 kilometers away from the .
A.moon B.universe C.star D.sun
49.A plane cannot fly to the moon because .
A.there is no gas in the plane
B.the plane must be driven by a man
C.there is no air about 240 kilometers away from the earth
D.it is smaller than a rocket
50.The hot gas in the rocket is used for .

Scientists used to explore(探测)on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface， too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.
In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3 000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10 330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35 800 feet.
All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface. Gradually they succeeded.Cousteau，a Frenchman，was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.
Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then，in 1964，he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.
Many countries are now studying undersea living. The former Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea.The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral，vegetable，and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.
51.In order to ，scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean.
A.know about the ocean water deep in the ocean
B.stay down longer to study life of the plant and animal below the surface
C.know about the plant and animal life deep in the ocean

A.William Beebe. B.August Piccard.
C.Jean Piccard. D.Cousteau.
53.Who set up the first undersea station?

Astronomer's Wife
天文学家的妻子 by Kay Boyle(1903-1992)
当万籁俱寂，生命尚未复苏时，醒来那一刻是令人不悦的。可此时的女人们，不得不在朦胧中独自开启她日常的新页：调准时针，钟摆便铛铛地敲响，或抬高嗓门，走过每个房间，让生命的脉搏开始跳动。天文学家的妻子感觉仍有时间继续接下来的工作，该找点儿事儿做，免得让时间白白流逝。于是，她蹑手蹑脚地下楼去煮咖啡。她摇摆着双脚，轻轻地踩在椭圆的地毯上，一面做着有节奏的摆臂运动：曲臂，伸直，一面用她柔美的声音哼着：左，左，左，我的妻子和十四个孩子，右，右，右，在灰尘暴土的路中央。她就是这样，裸露着微颤的双臂，饶有兴致地迎接清晨的到来。
一天就此开始，日复一日，无需有昔日的追忆和怀念，周而复始。天文学家依然睡着，或假装睡着，而她，一起床，就要行使她家务的主权。尽管她朝夕面对着那始终无动于衷、让人捉摸不透的冷漠，每日琐碎的家务让她忙着清洁屋子、料理杂务，还得和善待人，一整天下来，她根本无法和丈夫亲密一见。她的丈夫属于另类的那种，爱做梦的人。每天他都侍明会在床上逗留几个小时，其余的时间会消磨在屋顶上，用他的望远镜让人费解地观望着天外的世界，要么会沿着小路溜达到街上或闲逛到对面的山上。与往常一样，这一天先要清理昨夜晚餐剩下的残局，再按着他的要求摆上味道浓重的美乃滋沙拉午餐。那男人每次都犹如一股新涌起的浪潮，这女人只得顺命地咽下，那男人一贯的沉默示意她该这么做。
年轻的女佣早已听见女主人的声音，不顾时候还早，便上楼，在主人卧室的门槛前站住，通报说：“水管工来了！”
天文学家的妻子赶忙披上白色和血红色相间的外套，扣子直系到脖领儿，捂得严严实实的。她小心地绕过淌满大厅的那滩死水。“让他上楼来，”她说。她把手搭在楼梯的扶手上，顺着木梯的方向朝下望去。“啊，我是艾密斯夫人，”看到水管工往楼上走，她语气温柔地说。“我是艾密斯夫人，”她边柔声地说着，边缓缓地走下台阶儿。“我是艾密斯夫人，”她轻柔的话音如被微风拂过的柳枝。“教授还在睡着，这边来吧！”
水管工抬起头，看着声音这么柔美的女人，在跟他讲话。她显得颇年轻，她丈夫内心的沉寂与深邃却如责备的手指按在她的双唇上，令她全然忘却女人的青春与美丽。她的眼睛昏暗而忧郁，曾有的光芒似乎早已泯灭。枯黄的头发泛着一层莫名的光晕，凌乱地挽在一侧的肩上。
水管工穿着厚重的靴子，轻轻地放缓他的脚步。他们一起走到大厅，择道儿走过那一汪静谧、意欲漫过梯台的“湖水”。魁梧健壮的水管工摘掉帽子，用他粗犷的眼神仔细地看着她，说：
“是从洗脸池里出来的，还是从别的...”
“啊，从别的地方，”艾密斯夫人不假思索地说。
这一带只散落着几栋别岩稿墅，保留着原始古朴的风貌，然而，在她脸上映不出一丝这样宁静的美。这里的一切都显得古怪异样，好像都面对着那张苛刻的脸孔，与一种狰狞的势力较力。就连水管工，像一个女人那样处理手边的事物，都显得深沉而庄重。环抱的群山似乎把他们笼罩在巨大威严的阴影之中。
艾密斯夫人开口说起他们搬到这栋小别墅里的那个夏天，哀哀戚戚地说着接二连三发生的每件事。
“就在昨晚睡觉前，我注意到什么地方好像不太对劲儿，”她说。
水管工在漫溢的“湖水”边儿上，铺开一粗谈孝块儿叠好的方布口袋，放上他的皮围裙，大胆地走到“湖”中央，弯下腰，察看着溢满水的洗脸池。
“水该是在花园的水泵那儿堵住的”，一番检查过后，水管工说。
“对，昨晚我一发现溢水，就穿着睡袍，立刻去把它关了。可水还是淌了满地。”艾密斯夫人说。
水管工看了一眼她脚上穿的那双红色的羊皮拖鞋。她恰好站在清澈透明的“湖水”沿儿上。
“只定是地里的管道出了问题”，水管工严肃地说。“可能什么东西堵住了水管，但我想水泵也坏了。这种情况经常都是这类问题。要是按个水阀就好了。”
这突来的责怪令艾密斯夫人一时不知该怎么应对，站在那儿，惶惑地看着水管工海蓝色无情的双眼。
“我很抱歉...抱歉...我的丈夫还...还在休息，不能帮你。我肯定这活儿一定没什么好玩儿的...”。
“可能你得找些质量好的弯管儿，”水管工笑眯眯地说，这一要求让艾密斯夫人慌的用手捂住了脸。水管工没动，但看她的表情变得温和多了。“反正，我得从花园那边察起。”他说。
“啊，察吧!”天文学家的妻子这才松了口气。这个男人说话的语气、一举一动竟像女人那么简单！她刚刚沉寂下来的话音，清清楚楚地传到躺在床上、孤僻做梦的艾密斯教授的耳边。他听见他们的脚步声，走到大厅，停住，跳过漫溢的那汪水。
“凯瑟琳！”天文学家尖声厉气地喊着，“什么事儿让你这么大胆！”
艾密斯夫人没回头理他，带着水管工快速地下了楼。他们走到花园，阳光照在她脸上，有一抹红润，水管工看得出，这抹红润并非来自光照，而是内心的羞涩。
水管工似乎看透她的心思，便牵引着说：“地下的管道很有意思，从房子底下出来，一直连到山底下，管道粗的足能站一个人，而且里面跟哨笛那么干净。”他们站在花园里，到处盛开着缤纷绚丽的鲜花。水管工看着天文学家的妻子，说：“水管儿里的水穿过大山，在森林的那头儿倾泻出去。”
天文学家的喊声仍然回荡在她耳边，可在她听来，却毫无声色。她了解那男人的心思，他会匆匆地赶下楼，胡乱猜想着那些难于言表、不切实际的东西。他曾几何时这样表达过那满腹的思想，让她可以感激地回应那长久无际的缄默。他那蔑视的神情，仿佛冷寂的荒漠，环绕在他四围，令她畏惧。
生命，生命像广阔的海洋，她却试图在悲哀中诠释它，而女人，则努力地盘缠在漂泊于浪尖的残骸上生存。这时，水管工突然跪在草地上，蜷起手指穿进下水盖儿的锁环里。她低头看她时，他也正仰头看她。她发现他的头发如金子般光灿灿。
“或者艾密斯夫人愿意和我一起下去看看，”他略带挖苦地说。
“下去？”艾密斯夫人感到有些惊讶。
“进下水道里，”水管工残忍地说，“那里是做学问之人的书房。”
“啊，艾密斯先生，”艾密斯夫人一脸迷惘，“他还在...还在睡觉，你知道的。”
水管工抬起他强韧、饱经风霜的那张脸，奇怪地看着她。这的确让他感到奇怪，一个男人宁愿留连在床上，任由金色的阳光倾洒如四溢芬芳的美酒。天文学家的妻子看着他瘦削的脸庞，高高凸起的颧骨，深皱的眉宇。他的肌肤如优质的木材刮净，结实，气候的摧残晒得他黝黑。他的手指粗壮，但她能理解，紧紧地勾着锁环，握住下水道的铁盖儿。手背儿上隆起一团团的静脉血管。
“总之，”天文学家的妻子想到要说的话不禁翘起嘴角儿，笑了，说：“艾密斯先生从不活着下去。他喜欢上去。”说着，傲气地用手指指着天上。“屋顶上，山上，他常去那儿上。”
“那是种习惯，”水管工说完，猛然进到下水道里。艾密斯夫人看着他那金闪闪的头顶，像闪烁在夜空里的一颗小星星，一丁点儿、一丁点儿地渐渐地消逝。从下水道的深处，传来水管工空旷低沉的声音，“我想有东西堵在胳膊肘的拐弯处了。”
水管工的话深深地触动了她，令她感到诧异：她丈夫谈到高处时，她怎么一点儿感觉都没有呢？要不用一个确定的词儿，她既无法描绘出更不能理解他话语的深奥与神秘。那日益郁积的痴迷，如堵塞的弯管儿，是她清楚目睹的。她坐在草地上，困惑地想：刚才跟他讲话的是这个男人。
她看着草坪上萌发的杂草，不忍拔掉这么稚嫩的新生命。她无力地坐着，掩饰着内心的感受，丝毫不想让自己闲着的手再忙碌起来。男人就是这样呆坐在床上，她清楚仅仅一个单纯的想法都可以思前想后地琢磨半天。男人的心思能调和、剖开、甩掉那些不想要的（却是有价值的）、毁掉它。她坐在厚厚的草坪上，思索着，茫然地等着水管工回来。
她的丈夫总是“上去”，如死人的灵魂升天，而如今有人要“下去”，如死人的尸体埋入土中。艾密斯夫人似乎领悟到：男人有两个生命。那么的清晰明了的认识令她目瞪口呆，全身、四肢都有种异样的感觉。她一动不动，脸朝着群山的岩石壁望去，静静地聆听着：她的丈夫是灵魂，那个男人是肉体。
一会儿，水管工从地里上来：先露出金灿灿的头顶，接着露出晒得棕红的额头，最后是他那海蓝色嵌着雪白睫毛的双眼。他用厚大的手掌按在花园小路的铺路石上，撑着全身，悬在坑儿里。
“就是埋在土里的管道出了问题”，他很得意地说，“水管里，”说着低头看着她仰起的脸，“顶满了气儿。”
The astronomer's wife (1903-1992)
When life has yet to recover, All sounds are still., wake up the moment is unpleasant. Could this woman who had to open a new page in the dim alone in her daily tune: clockwise, then pendulum ring loud clang, or, through each room, let the pulse of life began to beat. Astronomers' s wife feels that there is still time to continue the work, to find something to do, so that the time goes by. Then, she crept downstairs coffee. She shook feet Tread softly in the oval carpet, while doing arm rhythmic movement: crank arm, straight, side with her gentle voice singing: left, left, left, my wife and fourteen children, right, right, right, in the central road dust storm and soil the. She is such a bare arms, trembling, with interest to meet the arrival of the morning.
The day begins, no need to recall the day in and day out, and the old, again and again. Astronomers are still asleep, or pretend to be asleep, and she, along with the bed, is to exercise her sovereignty over her house. Although she can face the always completely indifferent, elusive indifference, daily trivial housework let her busy cleaning the house, cooking chores are friendly, all day, she and her husband could not close sight. Her husband is a kind of special kind, love to dream of people. Every day he would stay in bed for a few hours, the rest of the time will be spent on the roof, with his telescope confusing to see the outer world, either on the streets or stroll along the path around to the opposite side of the mountain. As usual, the first day of the rest of the dinner last night to clean up the mess, according to his requirements placed on the strong flavor of mayonnaise salad for lunch. The man always like a new upsurge in the tide, the woman had to obey to swallow, the man always silence motioned her to do.
The young maid heard the voice of the hostess, regardless of time early, then go upstairs, in the master bedroom threshold before stopping, announced: "the plumber!"
The astronomer's wife rushed to put on a white and red and white coat, buttoned to the immediate collar, locked up inside. She carefully around the hall full of stagnant water drips. "Let him go upstairs," she said. She put her hand on the railing of the stairs, looking down the direction of the wooden stairs. "Oh, I'm Mrs. Amis," she said softly, as she saw the plumber going upstairs. "I'm Mrs. Amis," she said softly, slowly walking down the stairs. "I'm Mrs. Amis," her soft voice is like a breeze through the willows. "The professor is still asleep, this way!"
The plumber looked up, watching the sound so beautiful woman, talking to him. She seemed quite young, and her husband's silence and deep, but as the fingers of a finger at her lips, made her forget the youth and beauty of a woman. Her eyes are dark and melancholy, have already seemed to be devoid of light. The yellow hair suffused with a layer of inexplicable halo, messy arm on the side of the shoulder.
The plumber was wearing heavy boots and gently slowed down his steps. Together they went to the hall, choose the way through that Wang quiet, the platform to diffuse through the lake "". Strapping the plumber took off his hat, with his wild eyes carefully looked at her and said:
"Come out of the sink, or from the other..."
"Ah, from somewhere else," said Mrs. Ames without thinking.
This area is only a few of the villas scattered, reserved for the original simple style, however, in her face is not a trace of such quiet beauty. Everything here seems odd strange, seem to face the harsh face, with a ferocious force with force. Even the plumber, dealing with things like a woman that is deep and solemn. The hills seem to have put them in the shadow of the great majesty.
Mrs. Amis began talking in the summer they moved to the cottage, sadness and everything happened one after another.
"I noticed that when I went to bed last night I didn't seem to be quite right," she said.
The plumber in the overflowing "Lake" on the side swing side cloth bag folded together, put on his leather apron, boldly go to the lake central, bent down, watching the water overflowing sink.
"The water is in the garden of the water pump.".
"Yes, I found a water overflow last night, wearing a robe, immediately to turn it off. But the water was still dripping." Mrs. Amis said.
The plumber took a look at her red leather slippers on her feet. She just stood in the clear "water" on the curb.
"It's only a problem in the ground," says the plumber. "What might have been blocked by the water pipe, but I think the pump is also bad. This is often the case. If you press a water valve."
This sudden blame that Mrs. Amis didn't know how to react, stood there, watching the bewildered eyes blue water ruthless shanghai.
"I'm sorry... My husband... I'm still in a break. I can't help you. I'm sure there's no fun in this work...".
"Maybe you have to find some good quality of the elbow," plumber said smiling, this let Mrs. Ames panic covered her face with her hands. The plumber did not move, but her expression.
