One night, I was partying in central London, near Piccadilly Circus. Running short of money, I set off to find the nearest ATM to withdraw some cash. At Shaftesbury Avenue, I saw a huge queue for one ATM machine, but no one was using the neighboring “hole in the wall”. Assuming that the second machine was broken, I asked one queuing man if it was out of order. He replied, “It’s working, but this one pays out twenties for tenners!”

So the reason for the weirdly long queue is that these folks wanted to “double their money” by getting ￡20 notes for each ￡10 note requested. Being an honest man, I didn’t hang about; I simply used the idle machine and walked off.

Last week, customers took similar advantage of Commonwealth Bank in Sydney, Australia. Following overnight maintenance, a computer virus caused CommBank’s ATMs to fail to function properly and begin paying out extra money, with unrestricted withdrawals. They allowed customers with little or no cash in their accounts to withdraw large sums that they didn’t have. After about 5? hours, CommBank managed to restart these ATMs and stop the flood of cash. You stole your own cash!

By withdrawing money they didn’t have in their accounts, some of these greedy customers have gone heavily overdrawn. News reports indicate that some people were withdrawing as much as AU$2,500 (￡1,563) in a single dealing.

Alas, both CommBank and the New South Wales police said that they will use ATM records and cameras to track down those who took advantage of the error. As Detective Superintendent Col Dyson of the New South Wales police department warned, “People should realise that they don’t have the right to take that money and are committing a criminal offence if they keep it.” What about overpayments?

What about when you key in a ￡20 withdrawal and you get two ￡20 notes, not two ￡10 notes?

In English law (covering England and Wales), you have the right to keep money paid to you in error “under mistake of fact”, but only if you honestly believe that the money is yours.

However, if you requested ￡20, got ￡40 and ￡40 was allowed to be lent to you, then the cash is yours to keep, as neither you nor the bank has suffered any loss.

1. The words “hole in the wall” refer to _______. A. a real hole in the wall B. another ATM C. the mouth of a neighbour D. a common machine 2. We learn from the passage that the writer _______. A. saw a huge queue on his way to a party and joined them

B. people queued up to withdraw money because the other ATMs were broken C. had to use the unoccupied ATM to get some cash because he was in a hurry D. was critical of what he saw when withdrawing cash from an ATM 3. According to the passage, _______. A. last week, an ATM in Sydney, Australia paid out AU$10 for every request for AU$20

B. an ATM in Sydney, Australia was paying out more money than asked for because the bank owner had lifted the restriction

C. the machine paid out more money than requested even when a person had no money in his account

D. some people have been arrested on charge of getting extra money in the two happenings 4. From the part subtitled “What about overpayments?”, we can know _______. A. some English laws don’t cover all Britain

B. if the money you asked for was more than requested, you’d always have to return the extra money

C. if people kept the extra money they got at a bank they might pretend they did not know it

D. people committed a crime by getting the extra money even if they had that much in their account

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Very often when I go to look at someone’s garden and they complain that for some reason it does not feel right to them. What I notice is that the design quite complicated. Or, sometimes there is no real design and the layout (布局) just looks messy. Creating a garden without some form of design is like trying to bake a cake without a recipe.

With a cake you can add together ingredients (原料) from the cupboard and fridge in the hope that the result will be a perfectly baked cake. Both creating a garden and baking a cake follow outlines for getting a result. Know just when to add something, when to take the mix off the heat or how much oil to use, etc.

An experienced garden designer can help you create a garden best suited to you and your lifestyle, rather than impose their own ideas on you. He will listen to and help draw out your ideas. By keeping the garden design simple you and your chosen designer will have created the structure of a garden, similar to the structure of a house together with some details.

A golden rule to remember is that garden design is not about choosing the right plants. Don’t get caught up in the idea that you have to choose the right plants for the job straight away. Plant choice comes almost at the last minute in many cases, after you and your designer have created style or feeling you are wanting to have in your garden.

Design is about creating a constructable (可构造的) image for the garden, including form and shape, sounds, smells, even tastes and often, believe it or not, plants are never used. By keeping the design simple, especially if you are learning about design or taking on the project by yourself, you are increasing your chances of a successful design, one that matches your standard for your life. 1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Designing a garden as simple as possible.

B. Comparing garden-designing with cake-making. C. An experienced garden designer’s importance. D. Choosing plants for the garden.

2. Why does the author use baking a cake in the passage? A. To show the basic steps of baking a cake. B. To imply how simple to design a garden. C. To state baking a cake is very complex. D. To introduce how to design a garden.

3. The underlined word “impose” in the third paragraph means . A. force B. turn C. improve D. imagine 4. By keeping the garden design simple, . A. you can get details from the garden designer B. you will be successful one day

C. you can meet your standards in life

D. you can match the structure of a house with that of a garden 5. What is the most important for garden design? A. Creating a constructable image for the garden. B. Choosing the right plants for your garden first. C. Inviting an experienced garden designer.

D. Not rushing to choose plants for your garden. 【参考答案】1—5、ABADD
