 In Kansas City,Missouri,a computer helps firefighters.The computer contains information about every one of the 3,500,000 street addresses in the city.When a firefighter answers a call,the computer gives him important information about the burning building.The computer can give the location of the building and its size,type and content.The speed of the computer is amazing.Within 2 or 3 seconds after a call is received,the computer provides necessary information for the firefighters.The information is then sent to them by radio from the computer center in the city hall.The Kansas City Computer System also contains a medical record of all the city’s firefighters.This kind of information is especially useful when a firefighter is injured.With this medical information doctors of a hospital can treat the injured firefighters more quickly and easily.The firefighters themselves greatly appreciate(感激) the computer help.Many times the computer information helps to save lives and properties(财产).Sometimes the lives are those of the firefighters themselves.Michael Ram,a firefighter captain,says,“I feel as though the computer is watching over me,to help me if I get hurt.”

You either have it, or you don’t------ a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?

       Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.

       “Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”

       Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:

l       If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.

l       If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree----- something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.

l       Simplify the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.

Now you will never get lost again!

60. Scientists believe that ____________________.

A. some babies are born with a sense of direction

B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older

C. people never lose their sense of direction

D. everybody has a sense of direction from birth

61. What is true of 7-year-old children according to the passage?

A.They never have a sense of direction without maps.

B.They should never be allowed out alone if they lack(缺乏) a sense of direction.

C.They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.

D.They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.

62. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should _____________.

A.tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen

B.draw a map of the route to help remember where it is

C.avoid taking the same route when you come back to it

D.remember something easily recognizable on the route

63. According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to ________.

A.ask policemen for directions

B.use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourself

C.remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs

D.count the number of landmarks that you see

Animals have the power to make themselves understood by man, especially when they are in serious danger and wish man to help them. And they often unite to help one another. I was on a sheep farm in North America once when one of the sheep came crying to the tent late in the afternoon. She made the most painful cries. A friend, whom I was visiting, told me that something was wrong.

Together we followed the sheep back to where she had been feeding on the farm. She rushed forward and kept on looking back to see if we were coming. She finally led us to an old well, and we heard the sad voice of her young baby that had fallen into the well. As the well had no water in it and was only six feet deep, we fetched a ladder and in a few minutes the baby went back to its mother. She seemed delighted at the successful outcome of the accident. She had come and told us her troubles and got help.

   City people usually think they are a lot smarter than country people. They often laugh at simple country ways. But people do not laugh at country music. It is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today.

    Perhaps it is so popular because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events -- love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more and more complicated, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

    Country music, sometimes called country-and-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.

     At first city people said country music was low-class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned to enjoy country music. Slowly it became popular all over the world.

     Today country music is popular everywhere in the United States and Canada in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. People

sing it in their languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor farmers is now popular all over the world.

69. What would be the best title for the text?

    A. American Cowboys         B. American Radio Stations

    C. American Country Music    D. Life in the American Country

70. People enjoy country music because it is_________.

    A. about ordinary people       B. easy to learn

    C. very popular               D. very exciting

71. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us__________.

    A. where country music was not popular

    B. when people began to enjoy country music

    C. how country music became more and more popular

    D. why people love country music in the United States

72. From the last paragraph we can see that___________.

    A. country music is widely accepted across the world

    B. all people in the world enjoy country music

    C. rich people love country music best of all

    D. black people enjoy country music most

73. It can be learned from the text that American country music_________.

    A. is low-class

    B. first started in the South

(E)

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?

Many people are afraid to assert(维护,坚持) themselves. Dr. Robert Albert, author of STAND UP, SPEAK OUT and TALK BACK, thinks it is because their self-respect is low. “There’s always a superior around------ a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better.” But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.

They offer assertiveness training courses, A. T. for short. In the A. T. course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive(敢作敢为的) without hurting other people.

In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A. T. course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A. T. uses an even stronger motive to share the need. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.

Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If your face is more important than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. However, once you get to feel good about yourself, you can learn to speak out.

74. The underlined word “timid” probably means “___________” in Chinese

A. 胆小的           B. 优秀的            C 勇敢的             D. 无知的

75. One thing the A.T. course doesn’t do is to _____________.

A.share the need of people

B.show people they have a right to be themselves

C.help people overcome fear

D.help people to assert themselves even if others suffer
