The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “Im sorry, I cant sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.” “If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.” “I cant write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.” I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?” “We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.” “So when it goes down, you go down with it.” “Thats good, sir.” “How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes its down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. Theres no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since its down it wont answer us.” After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Lets forget the computer. What about your planes? Theyre still flying, arent they?” “I couldnt tell without asking the computer.” “Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if hes flying to Washington,” I suggested.“I wouldnt know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket.” “Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?” “I wouldnt know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only IT knows. It cant tell me.” By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.21. The best title for the article is _.A. When the Computer Is Down B.

The last paragraph suggests that _.A. a modern computer wont be down B. computers can take the place of humansC. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to peopleD. there will be great changes in computersB Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle(循环). The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour(水蒸汽). Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water 来源:Z-x-x-k.Comvapour 来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+Kcools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again. The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldnt look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earths surface. Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well(井) by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.25. In which order does water go around Earth? a .Fall down as rain or snow. b. Heated up by the sun on lakes, oceans and other wet places. c. Cool off high in the sky. d. Form clouds. e.

Whatever happened yesterday or last year, and whatever may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are always!We allow past problems and future concerns to control our present moments so much that we end up anxious, depressed and hopelessOn the other side, we also dont think about our satisfaction and our happiness. We often convince ourselves future will be better than todayUnfortunately, the thoughts that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that “someday” never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, "Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans." "When we're busy making other plans", our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. “Now” is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future-we won't have 来源:学科网Z-X-X-Kenough 来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.Kmoney, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whateverTo struggle against fear, the best strategy is to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, "I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened." I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now and your efforts will pay off.33By using what John Lennon said, the writer intends to _.Aadvise people to fix their attention on the present lifeBremind people to make good plans for their futureCwarn people that their children are growing upDremind people that their bodies are out of shape34In the writer's eyes, "fear" is the _.Aconcern over past problems Battention on the presentCworry about what might happen in the future Danxiety about dress rehearsal35The purpose of the passage is to tell readers_Apeople who are busy making plans are living activelyBhow to help others overcome fearCwe ought to learn to live in the present momentDsomeone who only enjoys the present time usually wastes his time blindly36It implies from the passage that _Amany people know how to fight against fearBit isn't necessary to fear for futureCyou can gain more happiness by putting off your pleasure来源:Z-x-x-k.Com来源:学科网Z-X-X-KDsome people make plans for their children to improve their livesETHE WAY TO READ FAST Perhaps you have been told about some habits(习惯) which stop a person reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have. Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions: 1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently? 2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?来源:学科网Z-X-X-K来源:Z-x-x-k.Com 3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read? 4. Do you read one word at a time? If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand, and hold your head still(不动地,静止地). If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.37. You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading_. A. to hold a piece of paper between them B. to feel whether your lips move or not C. to tell others to be silent D. to stop yourself talking to others38. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, _. A. you need to read the words out B. you need to look at every word carefullyC. you
