Ⅲ. 任务型阅读
Mrs. Marks bought a printer (打印机) yesterday. She was happy because now she could print anything she wanted at any time. However, after about an hour, she was angry because she couldn't print the color blue. All the other colors printed fine, except blue, which was very unusual.
She decided to call tech support (技术支持) to help her solve the problem. The tech support person on the other end tried everything he could think of to help Mrs. Marks. He asked her to reinstall (重装) the program, to reboot (重启) the computer and to turn the printer on and off. None of these things helped.
After hours of trying, the problem still wasn't solved. Finally, the tech support person asked Mrs. Marks if he could go to her house and try to solve the problem in person. Mrs. Marks agreed and told him her address. When he went to her house, she showed him her computer and the printer. The tech support person understood what the problem was right away.
He told her, “From now on, print on white paper instead of blue!”
