考点规范练13(必修3　Unit 3)

　　.阅读理解

　　One cold day last November,Amy and I came home from work to a sick young daughter and we decided to stay at home for the night.Problem was,we had two tickets to see Miranda July,the performance artist,being interviewed at the Herbst Theater.We decided to sell them online for $50.One hour before the event,a guy named Joe called me and said he wanted to buy the tickets.Since the time was limited,I told Joe to pay me the next day.Joe seemed touched and we said a fond goodbye.

　　However,a month later,Joe still didn’t pay me back.A few more weeks passed.Another month.There’d been one e-mail promising to mail the check,then silence.

　　Maybe he was having a hard time,I thought.But truth was,Joe seemed to be having a pretty normal time.According to the pictures and messages on his Facebook,he had been playing golf,dancing happily with his friends,and traveling on a boat.But he just refused to answer my calls,or reply to my e-mails or messages.So I tried reaching him with Amy’s phone one night.And he didn’t pick up when I called,but texted right back,playfully wondering who might be calling him.

　　“You should go to his office,”Amy said.“He would have to give you the money if all his coworkers were watching.”

　　But I didn’t want to become a debt collector.My efforts to reach Joe over these months had been light and I wanted to keep it that way.My initial exchange with Joe had been just two regular people agreeing to handle things humanly.There was a rare niceness in that,and I still wanted to keep that balloon in the air,however disappointing it was starting to look.I wanted to believe we could still trust each other.
