中考备考阅读理解——幽默小品.doc

幽默小品 [美文搜索1] Some people remember the things by writing notes to themselves. Then they leave the notes in obvious places, such as on the table or on the floor in the middle of the living room. I don’t think I like to write notes to myself. Most of the time I lose them or forget to look at them until it’s too late. I prefer to use an alarm clock to tell me what I should do. I have tem alarm clocks in my house. They could tell me about things. For example, if I have to make a telephone call at a tertian time. I’ll set an alarm clock to go off a few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone. Or if I want to watch a certain television programme. I’ll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on top of the TV set. I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks. However, sometimes an alarm clock goes off and I don’t know what it means. I always remember setting it, but not why I set it. If the clock is by the telephone, I know I may have set it to tell me to call someone, but I can’t be sure. I might have set it to tell myself that somebody was to call me at a certain time. 点 评 区 obvious明显的 Most of the time I lose them or forget to look at them until it’s too late.大多数时间我不就是把条子丢了，就是看到它时已太迟了。 I’ll set an alarm clock to go off a few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone.我会把闹钟设定在前几分钟闹，将把钟放在电话机旁。 I always remember setting it, but not why I set it.我只记得设定了闹钟但想不起来为什么事而设定。 字数 229 要求时间 4.5 实际时间 1.Some people like to write notes to themselves so that they can ______.
