一、阅读理解

1. Tourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with

a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more

attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.

Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.

2. I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and

didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied. However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to

rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things

that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.

On my way to work I had to wait for over half an

hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait.

I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.

Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be

fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for

their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made

the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I

was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office. At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents (事件). 1.Which of the following is NOT the reason of the writer being late for her work?
