    I am sure that everybody in his／her life has used computers．Nowadays you can feel their presence everywhere—at home，at school，at work and they certainly make life easier．On the other hand，there are people who can work without them．
    Anyway, I believe their presence is a good thing．Life with them seems less difficult and more comfortable．You can use them to choose your meal，to withdraw your money，and also to save your time，because these operations ale all controlled by computers．Therefore，you can hardly imagine the modern world without them；the whole planet seems to be one big computer society．
    Nevertheless，problems call often appear in this area，too．To have a computer means you have to be quite rich and have the necessary skills to use it．However, think about questions like，“Are computers available for everyone, for rich and poor people，for people from villages and people from cities? Aren’t they too expensive? Is everyone able to learn how to use them and does everyone have the chance to access and work with them? How could everything in the future be dependent on them?”Therefore，I think our society will be divided into two pans．One part will work with them and enjoy the benefits that computers can bring and the other part will be pushed out of society and will actually be left far behind the other group．
    Another question that bothers me is，computers are important and they’re good things in our life, but they aren’t everything. They are good as a help at school, quite often as entertainment, especially for young people, as an necessary tool to help in research etc. , but I think we shouldn’t be so dependent on them, because computers are only machines and machines can’t feel anything, can’t be human and sympathetic, and every action performed by computer can be interfered(干涉) with could cause these machines to crash or work badly.
    In conclusion, I would like to say I am not against computers. I use computers too, but people should be wary all the time.

    Most young architects ----particularly those in big cities ----can only dream about working in a building of their own. And marking that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical –parts firm in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生锈的) walls.
    In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(拆除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building, The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there – the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said.” Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(装置) in there-a slow-motion show.”
    Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.
    Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.
    小题1: According to the passage, it is      for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.
    A．easyB．unnecessaryC．unrealisticD．common
    小题2:Yocum bought the old building because  __.
    A．it was a bargain to himB．it was still in good condition
    C．it was located in the city centerD．it looked attractive from the outside
    小题3: Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell＿.
    A．pulled rubbish out through the roofB．removed the skylights from the bathroom
    C．presented a slow–motion show in an art gallery
    D．built a kitchen at the back part of the old building
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell __.
    A．benefited a lot from pulling down the roofB．turned more old buildings into art galleries
    C．got inspiration from decorating their old building
    D．paid more attention to the outside of the gallery
    小题5:The main idea of the passage is that __.
    A．people can learn a lot from their failures
    B．it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building
    C．people should not judge things by their appearance
    D．creative people can make the best of what they have

    Whether you’re taking a trip alone or with your family, it’s easier to get sick when you’re in a new place because your body hasn’t had a chance to adjust to the food, water, and air in a new environment. Read the following tips on keeping your travel experience as healthy as possible.
    Safe foods and drinks
    What foods are safe to eat? Foods that have been boiled are generally safe, as well as fruits and vegetables that have to be peeled before eating. Avoid eating uncooked or undercooked meat.
    Stay away from foods that require a lot of handling before serving.
    Drink only bottled water when traveling. If you have to use the tap water, you should boil it first.
    You can take it with you
    When you’re packing, taking some painkiller and diarrhea medicine is a good idea. It’s also a good idea to pack some allergy (过敏) medicine even if you don’t take it at home, because people sometimes unexpectedly develop allergic reactions in a new environment.
    Write it all down
    Before you leave your sweet home, create a medical history form that includes the following information:
    your name, address, and home phone number as well as a parent’s daytime phone number
    your blood typea list of any ongoing health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, or AIDS a list of current medicines you are taking a list of allergies to medicine, food, insects, and animals the name, address, and phone number of a relative other than your parent It also helps if you have some basic emergency medical knowledge, not only for yourself but also for helping others you may be traveling with. A great way to prepare for your trip is to take a first-aid or basic life support course before you go; if you’re traveling with a group, you should know where the first-aid kit is and what’s in it.

    My mother-in-law, Dorothy, is showing me the red notebook that’s almost as precious to her as my husband’s baby pictures. Inside the notebook is a list of the books she has read since 2007. For some people waking up in the middle of the night is a terrible thing. But for my mother-in-law, that time is a gift. At 87, she is getting the education she never had by working her way through great literature. She has now read close to 100 books, including every single novel by Anthony Trollope, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, Henry James and Thomas Mann.
    My mother-in-law discusses her passion with the enthusiasm of a young girl, although she can also be a very tough critic, writing “VG’ for “ very good” in the margins next to her favorites. So far, only a handful of books have received the top prize.
    Born in Ridgefield, Conn, Dorothy was the youngest daughter of an Italian gardener. She taught herself English by reading The New York Times. Eager to come to Manhattan, she became a nurse, married a dentist and spent the next several decades keeping the house and raising a family. In her later years, she put her nursing skills to good use by taking care of my father-in-law, who had lung cancer. There were many trips to the emergency room in the middle of the night and then a long hospital stay. She stayed awake to watch over him for 15 hours a day. Always a light sleeper, she developed sleeplessness as a result of the stress.
    It worsened after he died. Deeply sad and lonely for the first time in her life, she began waking up around 2am. Julian and Sylvia, the elderly couple next door suggest she read literature. And so Julian, a great lover of literature, became her “professor”, providing books from his large library. Suddenly the terrifying hole turned onto a world of amazing characters.
    小题1:Why is Dorothy considered a tough critic?
    A．Because no books are inspiring enough in her eyes.
    B．Because only a few books are thought highly of by her.
    C．Because she only reads books by famous writers.
    D．Because she finds fault with every book she reads.
    小题2: It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    A．the books Dorothy has read were bought by her husband.
    B．the couple next door are college professors.
    C．the author loves literature too.
    D．Dorothy was a great wife.
    小题3:The underlined part “the terrifying hole” in the last paragraph refers to _____.
    A．the frightening death
    B．Dorothy’s lack of education
    C．waking up in the middle of the night
    D．a hole in a book that Dorothy read
    小题4: What helped Dorothy get over the sadness and loneliness of losing her husband?
    A．Living with her son.
    B．Reading literature.
    C．Seeing her son’s baby pictures.
    D．Talking with neighbors.

    In recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts believe that the answer is to make jobs more varied. Do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is something to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not make him work harder. So variety is not important.
    Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is very little that can be done to achieve this.
    Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are said to be experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem then that the degree of worker contribution is important.
    To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important, but perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if companies succeed in making workers' jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
    72. Which of the following things will not increase productivity?
    A. Making jobs more varied.                 
    B. Longer working hours.
    C. Giving workers the freedom to do his jobs in their own way.
    D. Increasing the workers' contribution to production.               
    73. The last sentence in this passage means that if companies manage to make workers' jobs more interesting, _________.
    A. they will want more money                    
    B. they will demand shorter working hours
    C. more money and shorter working hours are important    
    D. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them
    74. In this passage, the writer tells us _________.
    A. how to make the workers more productive 
    B. possible factors leading to greater productivity
    C. more money leads to greater productivity
    D. how to make workers' jobs more interesting
    75. The writer of this passage is probably a _____________.
    A. teacher            B. worker                 C. manager             D. physics

    Christmas was an exciting season for my six-year-old son. For weeks, he’d been memorizing   36  for the “Winter Ceremony” in his kindergarten class. I went to  37  their rehearsal(排演).

    My son’s class rose to sing “Christmas Love”. Those in the front row on the center stage held up large  40 , one by one, to spell out the  41  of the song.

    If you' re feeling stressed, rather than wallow （沉迷） in watching television, try looking out of the window, with a US study finding scenes of nature can ease off minor stress levels．
    Researchers at the Human Interaction with Nature and Technological Systems Lab at the University of Washington set out to look at whether nature, either the real thing or the one depicted （描述） technologically, can impact on minor stress levels．The study involved measuring people' s heart recovery rates from minor stress when they were exposed to a natural scene through a window and when exposed to the same scene shown on a high-definition plasma （等离子） screen, or a blank wall．
    "The heart rates of people who looked at the scene through the window dropped more quickly than the others．In fact, the high-definition plasma screen had no more effect than the blank wall," the researchers said in a statement．They also found that when people spent more time looking at the natural scene their heart rates tended to decrease more．That was not the case with the plasma screen．
    The study, involving 90 college students, is published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology．"Technology is good and it can help our lives, but let' s not be fooled into thinking we can live without nature," Peter Kahn, who led the research team, said in a statement．He said people were losing direct experiences with nature and instead experiencing nature represented technologically through television and other media with children growing up watching Discovery Channel and Animal
