Shorty, a man of forty, had gone into town. He had said he would be back before two. He had told Walt to watch the boats and the shop. There were no people around. They had all gone out on the lake to fish.
So Walt went to work on one of the boats. From there he could hear the telephone if it rang. And he could watch the door.
It was a little after two when the stranger came. Walt saw him stop by the shop. The stranger looked in for a minute. Then he went down to the boats. He was a big man in a coat.
Walt called to him, "Do you want something, sir?"
The stranger looked at Walt and said, "No, thanks." Then the stranger moved slowly away. As he went on, he looked at the boats one by one.

Mr. Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long _7_ to one of the branches, so that they could swing on it.
Mr. Jones saw the professor _8_ when he saw the rope and looked carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was _9_ in sight, he stepped into the garden (there was no fence), put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat nearly on the grass and _10_ the rope. He pulled it _11_ to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the _12_ on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all around _13_. _14_ he swung, sometimes taking a few more _15_ steps on the grass when the rope began to swing _16_ slowly for him.
_17_ the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, _18_ his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued _19_ his way to the university, looking as _20_ and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.

Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.
Now all this may be changing again. The microchip(芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical(文书的) work that secretaries did.
"Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work and then men will want to do it again. "
That was said by one of the executives(male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.
Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的) , will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as men—not just because they can buy negligees(妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.
Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they______.
A.were less efficient and less trained than men
B.were looked down upon by men
C.would have disturbed the other office workers
D.wore stockings and were not as serious as men
