8．From good reading we can derive pleasure，companionship，experience，and instruction．A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity．Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life．It increases our contentment when we are cheerful，and lessens our troubles when we are sad．Whatever may be our main purpose in reading，our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction．
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely．Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary，they may become our companions and friends．In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times．The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances．Our human friends sometimes may bore us，but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company．By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings．When human friends desert us，good books are always ready to give us friendship，sympathy，and encouragement．
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience．Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences，but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books．Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place，a book will help us when nothing else can．To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way； no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us； no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire．Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger．We can climb lofty mountains，brave the perils of an Antarctic winter，or cross the scorching sands of the desert，all without hardship．In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood； we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards； we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island．Indeed，through books the whole world is ours for the asking．The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited．The beauties of nature，the enjoyment of music，the treasures of art，the triumphs of architecture，the marvels of engineering，are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read．
43．Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading？B
A．No one has come to disturb you．
B．The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive．
C．Everything is so quiet and calm around you．
D．Your book is overdue； you are finishing it at a very fast speed．
44．How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more？C
A．They resemble human friends exactly．B．They are unfamiliar types we like．
C．They never desert us．D．They never hurt our feelings．
45．Which of the following is true？C
A．Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books．
B．To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading．

6．A branch of computer science called artificial intelligence uses programs that help solve problems by using human knowledge and experience．Artificial intelligence systems are also called expert systems，which enable computers programmed with great amounts of information to think about many possibilities such as diseases that certain symptoms （癥狀） could indicate and make a decision for tile treatment．
Computers are used in teaching as well．Programs that perform computer-aided instruction （CAI計算機輔助教學） are designed to help students at all levels，from elementary school to the university level．The student sits at a computer terminal （終端）．The terminal's screen displays a question for the student to answer．If the answer is wrong or incomplete，tile computer may ask the student to try again．It then may supply the correct answer and an explanation．CAI is also used in some adult education programs and as part of the employee training programs of some business companies．
One of the most important uses of computers is to communicate information over long distances．They can send information to each other over telephone lines．As a result，computers keep banks，newspapers，and other institutions supplied with up-to the minute information．A computer network consists of many computers in separate rooms，buildings，cities，or countries，all connected together．Computer networks allow people to communicate by using electronic mail a document typed into one computer and sent to an-other．Such
document generally travel in only a few minutes，even if they are being sent over a long distance．
The computer's ability to share information with other computers over a network linked by telephone lines is a major revolution in telecommunications．The Internet，an international network of computer networks，has spread out since the early 1990's．The Internet began as a US network of scientific and military computers in the 1960's．Now it is an international system for sending and receiving electronic mail，software，and electronic documents and picture files all over the world．The Internet has already cut the cost of long-distance communications for many people．In the future it will completely change the way people work．With the Internet，increasing numbers of people can work at home instead of in their office．
Computers and their programs are the most complex devices in human history，and probably the most useful．Modern industrial societies now depend on them．As computers become more powerful and widespread，computer education must continue to increase also．
60．From the first paragraph we get to know that artificial intelligence systemsD．
A．a(chǎn)re beyond scientists'control       B．will take the place of doctors
C．will take the place of scientists      D．a(chǎn)re under scientists'control

5．Not too long ago，our teacher，being a"tree-hugger"（as the kids call her），had us write an essay on an environmental issue．I was eager to start，but something made me stop．
"What is an environmental issue？"one kid asked．"What if we don't care about the environment？"another complained．"It's not like it affects me．"
These comments astounded me．I have always cared about the environment and assumed that others did too．From the surprised look on my teacher's face，I could tell she felt the same way．
In no time，I finished my essay．In my essay I wrote about logging（伐木），which is an important industry，but if we continue to cut down trees without replacing them，it will damage the environment．
There are so many things that we can do to save our world．Recycling，of course，is always a good thing，but not everyone has a recycling plant nearby （ I don't ）．There are other ways to help the environment．Plant a tree．Don't waste water．
I can't stand it when a person's excuse for not caring is"Nothing's going to happen in my lifetime，so why should I care？"Sure，the chances of something terrible happening are slim，but I want people to realize that if we don't deal with it，someone will have to eventually．Do you want that to be your children？
When my teacher told me to read my essay to my class，I was a little embarrassment because I didn't want everyone to call me"tree-hugger"．I realize now that if being a tree-hugger means you cares about the environment，I'm a tree-hugger 100 percent．I just wish more people were too．

B．the teacher liked the author's essay
C．the author is ashamed of being a tree-hugger
D．the author should have written a better essay．

4．I remembered that when I was a little child，I used to look for Sunday of the week．Yes，I was so looking forward to an adventure．
Now，I still have a strong affinityfor buses．I used to wonder where those gigantic （巨大的） buses finally stopped．On sunshine Sundays，that's my adventure times．He took me to the bus stop．Time passed，while I was growing impatient，he was smiling，as he always does．
It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today．I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us．I waved my hands so high with all my strength．I looked hopefully at him．He didn't move at all．He was still standing．It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn't any trouble to him at all．
He took my hand．We managed to find seats on the upper deck．I was so excited．Only sitting beside the windows made me happy．Looking at the rewinding buildings，streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun．Then，he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop．I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him．
That is me．I know now．I am all he cares．He wants me to be happy，as he always does．That's the strong bond between father and son．Childhood，naive（天真）  and precious，you showed me the world and the way I look at the world．I am so grateful for your presence in my life．Thanks，you are so wonderful!

3．Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror．Your face is firm and young-looking．In 2035，medical technology is better than ever．Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40，you're not old at all．And your parents just had an anti-aging （抗衰老的） treatment．Now，all three of you look the same age!

19．Lucky is the man who has no"skeleton in his closet．"When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of，that he wants to hide，he is said to have a"skeleton in his closet．"Some people may have more than one skeleton．
As we have noted many times，it is hard to find out how these expressions begin．Sometimes，we get some hard facts．But more often we have to depend on guesswork．And that is true of this phrase，which came from England．
Before 1932，English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination，unless it was the corpse （尸體） of an executed（處決） criminal．
But when it became legal，more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine．It was helping in the advance of modern medicine．The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices．
We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study．It became very important in his work．But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing．As a rule，the doctor would keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen，or hide it in a closet．
After a time，people began to suspect（懷疑） every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet．From this suspicion，the phrase"a skeleton in the closet"took on a broader，more general meaning：to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering．It could be proof of a criminal act，or something much less serious．Well，that is one theory．
One writer，however，believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened．It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton，clear proof of some old family shame or crime．Well，one man's guess is as good as another．But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist，Balzac．
Balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover．The husband comes home by surprise．But she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom．He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover．He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there； He will believe her．She answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet．
The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet．His wife watches，knowing that her lover will never come out alive．But she will not change her story and admit her guilt．
62．Which of the following situations is suitable for using the phrase"Skeleton in the closet"？D
A．You have stolen something precious and don't want it discovered．
B．You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research
C．If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton secret．
D．You have done a crime or done something foolish，but you want to keep others from discovering it．
63．From the text we know that there areB theories about how the phrase"skeleton in the closet"came into being．
A．one 　　　　　B．two 　　　　　C．three 　　　　D．four
64．Which of the following is right according to the text？A
A．In the 19th century，doctors realized the importance of anatomy（解剖） in the development of medicine．
B．The doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeleton as possible．
C．The thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors
D．It is legal that corpses12of anybody are cut open for scientific examination in history．
65．From the story Balzac told we know that the wife's lover must have becomeC．
A．a(chǎn) corpse 　　　　B．a(chǎn) phrase 　　　　C．a(chǎn) skeleton 　　　D．a(chǎn) secret．
