    　　Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at Inteli Data Technologies Corp, a large software company with several offices across the United States.

    　　“After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy,” recalls Douglas Braun, the Inteli Data president. “We couldn't even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks Mr Cokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. “None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months,” says Mr Braun. “Suleyman can ‘see’ into the heart of the computer.”

    　　Mr Gokyigit's gift, as Mr Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. “The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do,” says Mr Gokyigit.

    　　The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at Inteli Data, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. “Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,” he says.

    　　Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. “Nothing seems to shake his attention,” says Mrs Nowakowskis, his boss.

    　　Mr Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available(可找到的) 24 hours a day. “We consider him our top problem solver,” says Mr Braun.

    1．According to Mr Braun, Suleyman ________.

    [　　]

    A．can work wonders on computer

    B．is the best technician in the world

    C．has done a hard job in three months

    D．has united Inteli Data Technologies Corp, with another computer company

    2．The underlined part “is at home with hardware” (Paragraph 4) means ________.

    [　　]

    A．is good at dealing with computer hardware

    B．is fond of computer hardware

    C．works with computer hardware at home

    D．feels comfortable when working with computer hardware

    3．Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of ________.

    [　　]

    A．his blindness

    B．his attention on the synthesizer

    C．his long, thin fingers

    D．his ability not to be interrupted

    4．What does the text mainly tell us?

    [　　]

    A．Computer technicians are more likely to be gifted.

    B．One's disadvantages may prove to be advantages.

    C．The disabled can also play an important role in society.

    D．Top computer scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　One of the most fascinating questions about human behavior is that each person is different from all others．The answer to this question would explain the aspect of human nature called personality．Some theories assume that inborn characteristics determine human personality．Many observers have hypothesized that each person has a dominant temperament, present from birth, that influences his or her behavior during an entire lifetime．According to one of these theories, people can be classified into four basic types： sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic．Each type or temperament is characterized by a unique set of possible strengths and possible weaknesses．

    　　Sanguine people are described as the most outgoing of the four temperaments．They are warm, fun－loving, and like the company of others．Because of these strengths, it is said that sanguines often make good salesmen, actors, or public speakers．Sanguines, however, may have some serious weaknesses．Their problem often come from their lack of discipline．Easily distracted, they often lack the concentration to complete a job or other people may not trust them．

    　　Choleric people, are quite different from the carefree, emotional sanguines．Because of their strong will, decisiveness(果断), and productivity, cholerics are natural leaders who are good at making vast plans and motivating other people to help them carry out their plans．They are often successful in business, industry, or politics．Choleric weaknesses can be very damaging, however．Because a strong desire to lead, they can be cruel and cold towards those who do not wish to follow．They often do not listen to advice from others, and once they make a decision, they may became hostile towards anyone who questioning that decision．

    　　Phlegmatics are calm, easy－going people who strive for efficiency and organization．Very diplomatic and polite, they make people feel comfortable and generally help keep things running smoothly．For these reasons, they make good teachers, technicians, etc．Phlegmatics, however, often have weaknesses that keep them from becoming successful．Afraid to take chances, they may avoid taking any steps to improve their position in life．

    　　Melancholics are often considered to be gifted persons who possess creative talent．They are very analytical and able to understand complicated processes and to note detail．These people can make good doctors, scientists, artists, writers, and musicians．Melancholics are also said to be loyal, idealistic and self－sacrificing．However, melancholics frequently make themselves miserable because they tend to be negative and critical, and put up inflexible standards．They attach importance to everything they do, so they worry too much and see problems everywhere, and complain too much．They often become disappointed because neither they nor the people around them can live up to their high standards．

    　　Explaining human personality in terms of innate temperaments is a theory that has not been generally accepted by psychologists．They criticize it for being too simplistic and unscientific．This may be so：however, present－day psychologists have been unable to formulate a single theory．
