The most awful words in the English language are, "Our computer is down." You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down."
"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
"I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and looking at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?"
"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."
"So when it goes down, you go down with it."
"That's good, sir."
"How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
"I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it's down it won't answer us."
After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer.
What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?"
"I couldn't tell without asking the computer."
"Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington," I suggested.
"I wouldn't know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket."
"Is there any other airline(航空公司) flying to Washington within the next few hours?"
"I wouldn't know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT' knows. 'It' can't tell me."
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage (行李).

A. The Most Awful Words

七．任务型阅读(5)
T hese days, the environment is a huge topic. It seems like we’re always being reminded to recycle, or to ride a bike instead of taking a taxi.
However, it isn’t just rubbish and traffic that can cause harm to the environment.
According to a recent study by the University of California, published by the journal Science Advances, fertilizer (化肥) in farm soils is a major contribution to smog in nearby cities. According to the research, agricultural soils make up of 25 to 41 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions (氮氧化物排放) in California. Nitrogen oxide, or NOx, is a major cause in smog formation.
“Emissions of NOx from agricultural areas are much higher than we used to believe and could be a major source（来源）of NOx statewide,” the researchers wrote in the study.
Just like fertilized farmland, there are many other things that we wouldn’t expect to have a huge influence on the environment. Take clothes for example. Data (数据) published by the World Wildlife Foundation says that every kilogram of cotton takes around 10,000 liters of water to produce.
This means that it takes around 6,000-8,000 liters of water just to create a single pair of jeans, not to mention the carbon produced when they’re made in the factory and then transported to a store.
And even what we choose to eat could be bad for the planet.
In a 2014 study carried out by a professor in New York, US, it was found that beef farming could be causing more harm to the environment than all of the planet’s cars.
So does this mean that we should all stop buying jeans and eating beef? That would certainly help, although it’s not a practical goal.
Instead, a few simple changes could be made. For example, there’s no need to buy new jeans every year when a good pair can last much longer than that.
And when it comes to food, taking the place of the beef in our dishes with chicken or pork every now and then will still mean they taste as delicious.
Indeed, small actions could make a huge difference to our planet.
