19、根据以下资料，回答{TSE}题。 　　Californian Michael Schwabe said goodbye to the gas pump two years ago．He leased an electric car．Schwabe says he gets more out of driving an electric car than just a charge.
　　"With the price of gasoline and with the problems with clean air, it's important we get electric vehicles out on the road."
　　On California roads there are about two thousand electric cars．By 2003, ten percent of all new cars may be required to have zero emissions．This is a mandate automakers say it is way ahead of its time.
　　Gloria Bergquist of the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers says, "The technology (for zero emissions) isn't here yet; it still needs advancement in driving range to make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience."
　　Auto makers blame it on the batteries．Power runs out on most cars after about 70 miles．However, some cars can now go more than 100 miles on a charge．Batteries are expensive．Carmakers say there is nothing they can do about it.
　　Tim Carmichael of the Clean Air Coalition says, "The automakers have not built a vehicle unless required to do so, so it's very important for the state to stay committed to this program requiting automakers to build small amounts in beginning years and then the market will take off."
When did Michael Schwabe say goodbye to the gas pump?
A． Two days ag
B． Two months ag
C． Two years ag
D． Ten years ag

　　A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers．"Last week," said he, "my umbrella was stolen from a London Church．As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back."
　　"How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
　　"Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper．The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella．The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at 0 Broad Street．"
　　"Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well．But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great importance．Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one." The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No, 10 Broad Street．He is well known." This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door．In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number．Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

The result of the first advertisement was that __.
A． the man got his umbrella back
B． the man wasted some money on advertising
C． nobody found the missing umbrella
