阅读下面文章，回答下列问题。
      （甲）中秋过后，秋风是一天凉比一天，看看将近初冬;我整天的靠着火，也须穿上棉袄了。一天的下半天，没有一个顾客，我正合了眼坐着。忽然间听得一个声音，“温一碗酒。”这声音虽然极低，却很耳熟。看时又全没有人。站起来向外一望，那孔乙己便在柜台下对了门槛坐着。他脸上黑而且瘦，已经不成样子;穿一件破夹袄，盘着两腿，下面垫一个蒲包，用草绳在肩上挂住;见了我，又说道，“温一碗酒。”掌柜也伸出头去，一面说“孔乙已么，你还欠十九个钱呢!”孔乙己很颓唐的仰面答道，“这……下回还清罢。这一回是现钱，酒要好。”掌柜仍然同平常一样，笑着对他说，“孔乙已，你又偷了东西了!”但他这回却不十分分辩，单说了一句，“不要取笑!”“取笑?要是不偷，怎么会打断腿?”孔乙已低声说道，“跌断，跌，跌……”他的眼色，很像恳求掌柜，不要再提。此时已经聚集了几个人，便和掌柜都笑了。我温了酒，端出去，放在门槛上。他从破衣袋里摸出四文大钱，放在我手里，见他满手是泥，原来他便用这手走来的。不一会，他喝完酒，便在旁人的说笑声中，坐着用这手慢慢走去了。
      （乙）范进不看便罢，看了一遍，又念一遍，自己把两手拍了一下，笑了一声，道：“噫!我中了!”说着，往后一交跌倒，牙关咬紧，不省人事。老太太慌了，慌将几口开水灌了过来。他爬将起来，又拍着手大笑道：“噫!好!我中了!”笑着，不由分说，就往门外飞跑，把报录人和邻居都吓了一跳。走出大门不多路，一脚踹在塘里，挣起来，头发都跌散了，两手黄泥，淋淋漓漓一身的水。众人拉他不住，拍着笑着，一直走到集上去了。众人大眼望小眼，一齐道：“原来新贵人欢喜疯了。”老太太哭道：“怎生这样苦命的事!中了一个甚么举人，就得了这个拙病!这一疯了，几时才得好?”娘子胡氏道：“早上好好出去，怎的就得了这样的病!却是如何是好?”众邻居劝道：’老太太不要心慌，我们而今且派两个人跟定了范老爷。这里众人家里拿些鸡蛋酒米，且管待了报子上的老爹们，再为商酌。”

      When one of your car tires goes flat, there are two things you can do, you can complain and change it or, if you don't have a spare, stand helplessly beside the road and hope someone comes to your rescue. Now comes a third choice, called Quick wheel. It is designed to get disabled motorists rolling again as quickly as possible.

      Quick wheel is basically a tiny emergency trailer-complete with three tough little wheels of its own-that supports the flat tire and enables the motorist to drive to a service station without losing much time or expending much energy. The product is made in the Netherlands but is owned and marketed by a US company, Quick wheel Inc. of Greenwich, Connecticut. According to the firm's president, Robert Bockweg, the product meets each of the major worries that customers relate with flat tires: safety, lost time and physical labor.

      To use it, motorists simply unfold the product to its fully extended position, set it in front of the disabled tire, drive the car onto the Quick wheel's ramp(斜板) and fix a special safety strap over the tire. The tire is then locked, or cradled, in Quick wheel's metal frame. Its three wheels do the rest of the work. According to Quick wheel Inc, its product can be driven "for miles" at the speed of up to 45 miles per hour "without any noticeable change in the vehicle's braking (车辆刹车) or steering operation". The company also says that it can be used on just about any type of car, jeep, mini-van or trailer (拖车).

      Bockweg says that Quickwheel will be sold first in the United States, at a price of $150. Sales agreements now being talked over should make the product ready for use in Japan, Canada and Western Europe in the near future. (words: 314 ; time :5ms)

    Two young giant-panda twins born in the United States have returned home to China, but are straggling to adapt to the language and food.

    The 3-year-old sisters, Mei Lun and Mei Huan, wens the first surviving panda twins to be born in the United States, and were returned to China from Zoo Atlanta on Nov. 5. But the pair still understand English belter than Chinese, and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread.

    A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat — from bamboos to apples — has to be mixed with biscuits. They even want to snack on (零食) biscuits when drinking water.

    The zoo -keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit, gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread. Mei Huan is adapting, but Mei Lun doesn't want to touch the unfamiliar bread.

    Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still, observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo.

    A language barrier is also reported. While the pair respond to their own names, and understand some English phrases such as “come here,” they don't understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese.

    The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media, with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan's famously spicy cuisine.
