BUntil I was twelve years old, I thought everyone in the world knew about the grinnies, if I thought about the term at all which is unlikely. After all, everyone in my family used the word quite naturally, and we understood each other. So far as I knew, it was a word like any other word like bath, or chocolate, or homework. But it was my homework which led to my discovery that grinnies was a word not known outside my family.My last report card had said that I was a “C” student in English, and my parents, both teachers, decided that no child of theirs would be just an average student of anything. So nightly I spelled words aloud and answered questions about the fine points of grammar. I wrote and rewrote and rewrote every composition until I convinced my mother that I could make no more improvements. And the hard work paid off. One day the teacher returned compositions, and there it was a big fat, bright red “A” on the top of my paper. Naturally, I was delighted, but I didnt know I was attracting attention until the teacher spoke sharply, “Helen, what are you doing?”Called suddenly out of my happy thoughts, I said “Oh, Ive got the grinnies!” The teacher and my classmates burst into laughter, and then I understood that grinnies were used inside my family. Other people were not so lucky.And it is really lucky to have the grinnies, an uncontrollable, natural state of great pleasure. Grinnies are shown on the outside by sparkling eyes and a wide, wide smile not just any smile, but one that shows the teeth and stretches the mouth to its limits. A person experiencing the grinnies appears to be all mouth. On the inside grinnies are characterized by a feeling of joyful anxiety. Grinnies usually last just a few seconds, but they can come and go. Sometimes, when life seems just perfect, I have occasional attacks of the grinnies for a whole day.The term originated in my mothers family. Her younger sister, Rose, who had deep dimples (酒窝), often expressed her pleasure with such a grin that the dimples appeared to become permanent. When Rose was about four, she started explaining her funny look by saying, “I have the grinnies”. The term caught on, and it has been an important word in our family now for two generations.The occasion doesnt matter. Anything can bring on the grinnies just so long as one feels great delight. When my brother finally rode his bicycle without training wheels from our house to the corner and back, he came home with the grinnies. When I was little, my mothers announcement that we would have homemade ice cream for dessert always gave me the grinnies. My father had the grinnies when I was chosen to make a speech at the end-of-school-year ceremony. Grinnies can be brought on by a good meal, a sense of pride, a new friend, a telephone call from someone special, an achievement. Or sometimes one gets the grinnies for no reason at all: just a sudden sense of happiness can bring on a case. Whatever brings them on, an attack of the grinnies is among lifes greatest pleasures.In fact, now that I look back on the experience, I feel sorry for my seventh-grade teacher. I think its a pity that she didnt know the word grinnies. Its such a useful term for saying, “Im really, really pleased!”46. After the writer was twelve years old, she _.A. thought everyone knew the meaning of “grinnies”B. equaled “grinnies” to bath or chocolate in meaningC. got to know “grinnies” was used only inside her familyD. discovered the word “grinnies” through her mother47.

Process.CToday, theres hardly an aspect of our life that isnt being upended(颠覆) by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. “If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says Microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says Merrill Lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”You would be hard pressed to name something that isnt available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. And even after youve moved on to your final resting place, theres no reason those you love cant keep in touch. A company called FinalT offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet. Most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.Whats clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. “The Internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum. “The last 80% is happening now.”51. What can we learn from the Microsofts remark?A.Todays cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced.B.Information technology is developing at an amazing speed.C.Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult.D.Theres more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.52.
