Computers can help many workers. They can also help thieves. There was a thief who

worked in a bank in the USA. He paid for everything he needed by writing a check. Then he told

the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote. The bank’s

知识改变命运

精品文档 你我共享

computer did what he said. And it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the

computer broke down. People had to do the computer’s work. They soon found out what was

happening.

Another thief who worked for a bank saw people filling in deposit forms(存款单). Many of

these people did not know their account numbers, so they wrote only their names on the forms.

They left the place empty for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account numbers in

the place. When the computer read these forms it looked only at the account numbers. It did not

look at the customers’ names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief’s account.

Then there was a bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents off every

customer’s account each month and put it into his own account. For a long time the bank’s

customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every months. But then someone did

notice and told the bank. That was the end of that little game!

No one really knows how much computer crime is costing the banks, but some people

believe it is millions of dollars a year.

26. The three thieves in the story ________.

A. worked in the same bank B. worked in banks

C. made millions of dollars a day D. did not fill in their account numbers

27. One thief told the computer not to take any money from his________.

A. deposit forms B. checks C. bank D. account

28. The story is about _________.

A. catching thieves in banks

C. the history of computers

B. people losing their jobs to computers

D. the crimes that people do with computers

29. The word “account” means _______ in Chinese.

A. 支票 B.帐户 C. 现金 D.皮夹

30. The word “customers” means ________ in Chinese.

A.银行职员 B.会计 C.储户 D.罪犯

It’s sometimes reported that strange objects have been seen high up in the sky. These

unidentified flying objects (UFOs不明飞行物) have made a lot of people interested. Some of the

reports about them are difficult to believe, some have been explained in scientific ways, and others

have never been explained.

It’s not easy to decide whether a report is true or not. One report of UFOs came from a

British plane on its way from New York to London in 1954. The British plane was flying over an

island at 19,000 feet when the captain noticed that something was on their left and a little lower

than their plane. It’s about five miles away.

“It was not one object but several,” the captain said. “We saw one large and six smaller

objects. I sent out a radio to report about them and I received the answer that the other planes were

coming out to meet us. Before the planes arrived, the smaller objects entered the big object. The

big object then became smaller and moved away fast.”

Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and

have been strongly asked to break the 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 when reading silently?

2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?

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 habits. 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. 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(一瞥)

as your eyes travel across the lines of words.

36. You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading so as to ______.

A. hold a piece of paper between them

B. keep yourself from talking to others

C. tell others to be quiet

D. feel whether your lips move or not

37. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to ______.

A. read the words carefully B. look at every word carefully

C. read several words at a time D. remember every word

38. When you read, don’t _______.

A. use your finger to point to words B. hold your book with your hands

C. keep your head still D. do any of the things above

39. When you place your chin in one hand, you can ____________.

A. rest your head on it

C. keep your hand upward

B. keep your head from moving side to side

D. move your head from side to side

40. This passage mainly talks about ________.

A. the importance of fast reading B. the bad habit in writing

C. the ways to read fast D. some difficulty in reading fast

It looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper .It acts like a mobile phone, but

only in your own cite .Beyond the city walls, it’s useless.

“Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong” has always been compared to the mobile phone.

But in fact it is more like one of those cordless phones(无线电话) used around the home. The only

difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can

travel across a whole city.

Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for

the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or

five times as much. What’s more, unlike mobile phones, there’s no fee for incoming calls. So these

low charges have attracted many users.

But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality(质量). And there are not as many questions to pick up its signals as there are for mobile. “I couldn’t

receive a photo call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hang Zhou. “It worked fine when I

stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.”

Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more easy to use. Messaging and Internet even has

a colour screen.

41. Many People prefer “Little Smart” because ______

A. it is smart B. it can travel across the whole city

C. of the cheap service D. it is smarter than the mobile phones

42. If you are a “Little Smart” user, you have to pay _______.

43. According to the passage, when you use _______ , you should pay for incoming calls.

44. Which of the following is NOT true about “Little smart”?

A. You needn’t pay as much as for the mobile phones.

B. It can work fine only if you stand still.

C. When you are moving, its signal will be broken from time to time.

One day, when my mother came home from work, she realized that she had lost her new

necklace which she had bought the day before. She was very worried. She wondered where she

had been just then. She thought that perhaps the man who lived next door had stolen her necklace.

We planned to call the police at once. Just then, someone was knocking at the door. It was the

young man, our new neighbour. I was shocked that my mother’s necklace was in his hand. He told

us that he found it at the doorway. And he thought it must be my mother’s. so he came to return it.

Yes, that’s true. It is the necklace my mother lost. My mother was very thankful. She told our

new neighbour that we could be good friends later.
