"My aunt will come down soon, Mr．Nuttel," said a young lady of fifteen．

Framton Nuttel attempted to say something to please the niece． Privately he doubted whether this visit would do much towards helping with his　nerve problem．

"I know how it will be," his sister had said, "People there　 are nice． I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there．" Framton wondered whether Mrs．Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters ofintroduction came into the nice division．

"Do you know many of the people round here?" asked the niece．

"Hardly a soul," said Framton．

"Then you know practically nothing about my aunt． Her great tragedy（悲�。� happened

just three years ago," said the child, “Out through that window, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their day's shooting． They never came back． Poor aunt always thinks that they will come back someday． She has often told me about Ronnie, her youngest brother, singing ‘Bertie, why do you bound?"'

At this time, Mrs． Sappleton came in, greeting,“I hope you don't mind the open window．" She talked on cheerfully about the shooting． To Framton it was all purely horrible． He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to tum the talk on to a less scary topic． "The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, and an absence of mental excitement．" he announced, "On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement," he continued．

"No?" said Mrs． Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment． "Here they are at last!" she suddenly cried． In the deepening dusk out came three figures with a tired brown spaniel （獵犬）．And then a young voice rang out of the dusk, "I said, Bertie, why do you bound?"

Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat, without a word of goodbye, and rushed out of sight．

“What is up?" Mrs． Sappleton was confused．

"I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly, "He told me that he was once hunted into a tomb by a pack of dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug tomb with the creatures barking just above him． Enough to make anyone lose their nerve．"

Romance at short notice was her specialty．

  　Have you ever used a typewriter? If not, you've surely seen one. This useful machine has a most interesting history.

　　Although you may think that the typewriter is a modern invention, the idea goes as far back as the early 1700s. It was then, in 1714, that England's Queen Anne granted Henry Mill the first patent（專利）for a machine that typed letters. Called An Artificial Machine or Method For Impressing Letters, the machine remained just a design on paper.

　　Various other typing machines were invented over the next hundred years or so. However, all of them had the same problem: they required more time to use than writing the same material by hand. Things improved a little around 1829 when an American named William Burt invented a machine called the desired letter. He also pressed a bar to link the paper. The machine printed letters well, but it had a top speed of only five words a minute.

　　Finally, in 1874, a more practical machine was introduced to the public. Invented by an American Christopher $holes and some of his companions, the machine was set up by E. Remington and Sons and called the“Remington Model No.1”. It was the first typewriter to have the kind of typewriter keyboard we know today.

　　You may have a look at the typewriter keyboard and wonder about the strange arrangement of letters. The arrangement, strangely enough, has nothing to do with making typing easier or faster. As a matter of fact, the keys were so arranged to force typists to type lower. Typing too fast caught the keys of Remington 1 pressed together. They still follow this early arrangement of letters of the keyboard.

You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you’ll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook．

   Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages．The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts（播客）all devoted to travel．

   Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable．They also save time and make sure you don’t miss the best things．

   They also provide the reviews of hostels（旅店）, hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination．

   This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before．If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook．You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer．

   But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them．They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity（自發(fā)性）out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen．They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else．You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route．

   Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities．For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists．They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar．

67．The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that __________．

         A．you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook

         B．you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city

         C．it provides lots of useful information about your destination

         D．it can help you save time and money when traveling

68．People criticize the guidebook because __________．

     A．it is not as useful as most travelers expect

         B．tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route

         C．travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures

         D．local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence

69．What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?

     A．It’s a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers．

         B．It’s very useful to a person who’s nervous about touring an unfamiliar place．

         C．It’s very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences．

         D．It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers．
