  What is the cleverest machine in history? If you're anything like nine out of ten people in the world, you'll say it's a computer, a machine with mathematical logic(数学逻辑)that can reason(推理)in the same way as humans.

  Alan Mathison Turing never expected to be the father of a machine with such a title.

  He was born in London in 1912, the second of his parents' two sons.His parents worked in India while Turing and his brother spent their childhoods in Britain.

  Turing's loneliness during this time may have led to his lifelong interest in how the human mind works.He believed that the mind creates its own world when the real world is not acceptable to it.At 13, he already showed a talent for mathematics.He wasn't perfect though.His teachers said his work was hard to read.

  After graduating from Cambridge University, he remained there as a teacher.At that time, his interest in the human mind led him to draw a machine.

  In 1937, Turing wrote a report about his machine.However, few people understand what he was talking about.But the report changed Turing's whole life.After the start of World War Ⅱ, the British Government ordered him to serve in a special department.The task was to break codes used by the Nazis(纳粹).

  Turing's talent shone in this top-secret work.He played a major role in designing an early computer like machines that could decipher(破译)Nazi codes at high speed.After the war, he returned to Cambridge, and built a machine based on his ideas from 1937.

     Several days ago, while I was logging onto QQ, my cousin's QQ head popped out online. We hadn't
seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a conversation with her. My cousin is studying in
a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer, she is always
online, listening to music or decorating her "personal space". I like visiting her space. It's creative and
modern and worth a visit. I can't imagine my designing such a colorful web page.
     When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed,
but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further
observation made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals (部首) to the original
characters, making them more vivid, a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to the
Chinese language and culture.
     It is true that the Internet has reinvented our language, but I still can't accept this new cultural change.
Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes; one shouldn't superficially change them by adding
an additional radical. So I persuaded my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to
communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice.
1. The author's cousin was a(n) _____.
A. engineer
B. teacher
C. model

A. because he wants to design a web page
B. because the music is well worth listening to

3. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.
A. the Internet has an effect on the Chinese characters
B. the Chinese people have learned a lot from the Internet
C. the QQ message online is very useful to everyone
D. the text message is more important than the QQ messages
4. The underlined word "reinvented" in the passage means "_____".
A. destroyed
B. improved
C. discovered
D. introduced
5. We can learn from this passage that _____.
A. the author is a teacher in a college
