$36 \cdot 6$ is greater than 1 and the integers are arranged in five columns as follows:
(in each row, four consecutive integers appear; in the first, third, and other odd-numbered rows, the integers appear in the last four
\begin{tabular}{ccccc} 
& 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\
9 & 8 & 7 & 6 & \\
& 10 & 11 & 12 & 13
\end{tabular}
columns, and the numbers increase from left to right; in the second, fourth, and other even-numbered rows, the integers appear in the first four columns and
$\begin{array}{llll}17 & 16 & 15 & 14\end{array}$ increase from right to left.)
The number 1000 will appear in
(A) the first column.
(B) the second column.
(C) the third column.
(D) the fourth column.
(E) the fifth column.

［Solution］From the table, we can see: all multiples of 8 are in the second column. Since 8 | 1000, 1000 also falls in the second column. Therefore, the answer is (B).
