21、   Me? On the Internet? My three daughters were crazy. They knew I hated the computer. Each of them had tried to teach me how to use it. Two of them even came up with the idea of “Mom on Match,” which I immediately rejected. Did they really think I, at age eighty-seven, was going to find a date with some old man that way? Some had told me earlier about the criminals out there who prey on older women like me. I wanted no part of that nonsense. I didn't care if I was Internet iliterate.

But they wouldn't give up. So, one night, when I felt very tired and wanted to shut them up, I reluctantly agreed to let them put me on Match. com. I didn't have to do anything. They did it all and then instructed me on how to use it. I didn't take a single note.

About a month later, all three girls wanted to see the results I'd received from Match. com. None existed! They found out then that I hadn't used it. So the one who lived closest took over. She got on the computer, found a gentleman who hadn't given up when I didn't reply on Match earlier, and answered him. After talking on the phone for two weeks, I reluctantly agreed to meet him for lunch. Surprisingly, I found that we had much in common, so we continued to meet, had dinner dates, enjoyed ballroom dancing and went to football games. Feeling comfortable with each other, we began seeing each other more.

Then, one evening, a surprise proposal came in the middle of a dance floor. I love surprises, but I wasn't ready for that. At our age we had to address possible challenges for the future. However, with time passing, we grew even closer together. Our small wedding took place a year later. Now, almost two years later, we still feel like newlyweds and have recommended Match. com to others. And, yes, I use the computer constantly these days, often to write down such stories as this一which, I admit to my daughters, is a lot of fun.

【1】Why did the mum refuse to accept the online dating?

A．She showed no interest in any affairs online.

B．She was iliterate, not knowing how to type.

C．She cared much about her daughters' nonsense.

D．She felt there was not a gentleman online.

【2】What does her meeting the gentleman on Match. com imply?

A．Match websites are not reliable.

B．Her daughter's effort paid off.

C．She didn't have much wealth to live on.

D．She had a clear head about her future life.

【3】How does the old mum evaluate her marriage at an old age?

A．A good bargain.

B．A ridiculous love.

C．A happy choice.

D．A crazy decision.

22、These destinations march to the beat of their own drum. So put on your dancing shoes and head to these sweet-sounding cities.

New Orleans

In the 19th century, slaves gathered on Sundays to play drums, dance, and sing in Congo Square. Those lively rhythms of Africa ran head on with the sounds of Europe to create jazz, a typical American art form that has inspired generations of Americans and spread around the globe. But this isn’t suit-wearing, head-nodding, polite jazz. New Orleans jazz sweeps you off your feet and makes you jump and clap and sing along.

Chicago

Large numbers of African Americans left the South in search of better opportunities during 1916~1970 and Chicago attracted scores of these people, who brought with them the sound of the Mississippi River. Here, it changed into something sad and symphonic: blues. Blues was not born in Chicago, but it was here that it found a new voice and began to spread its message around the world.

Memphis

Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. It was here in Sun Studios in the summer of 1951 that Ike Turner and his band the Delta Cats recorded “Rocket 88”, widely regarded as the first rock and roll song. But, like so many great things, it happened by accident the guitarist’s loudspeaker broke down during the recording, creating a unique guitar sound that would become a hallmark of the music.   People didn’t know how to classify it, but they knew they loved it. The rest is history.

New York City

New York is one of the world’s greatest cities where you can listen to all kinds of music. But to experience a true New York state of mind, you have to leave the shiny towers and Broadway shows of Manhattan and head to Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens to explore the city’s hip-hop history.
