Some years ago, an American policeman found a woman lying near a lonely road. She did not appear to have had an accident, but she was trembling, and clearly in a state of shock, so he sent her to the nearest hospital. She began to tell the doctors a story which was astonishing (令人震惊的). She had been driving along a country road when she had been stopped by a flying saucer (飞碟) landing in front of her. She had been forced to leave the car and enter the flying saucer by creatures which looked like human beings and which could easily make themselves understood although they could not speak. It was as though they could read her thoughts and she theirs. They treated her politely and allowed her to leave after carrying out a number of tests on her.
As she otherwise seemed to be normal, the doctor decided that she was probably suffering from the side effects of some drug. The woman insisted on being allowed to go home, but when she gave her address it was in a town over a thousand miles from the hospital. The police then started to look into the matter and soon discovered that there was already a search going on for the woman, whose husband had reported that she had disappeared. Her car had been found with the driver’s door open and the engine running. In front of the car the surface of the road had been completely destroyed not by an explosion or anything of that kind, but as though a large, circular (圆形的), white hot object had burnt through it. （10分）

Making friends is a skill like most skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.
Join a club or group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity. Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fear about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confident even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile. If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person---friendship is based on mutual (相互的) liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop. （10分）

The computer is a wonderful machine. It is the most important invention since the type of engine used in cars. Today it has the greatest effect on science, industry, and business, but it is being used more in education and medicine. By the end of this century it will touch the lives of everyone, even people in distant villages. It is a revolutionary invention. The oldest kind of computer is the abacus used in China since the sixth century. In the seventeenth century an adding machine was invented, but the first large, modern computer was built in 1937. A few years later a computer could do 5,000 additions per second. Now the computations are so fast that they are measured in nanoseconds.
Today most computers have a memory. They are getting smaller and smaller, and computing faster and faster. Even in a large computer, the part that does the actual computing is about the size of the end of a finger.
Computers can do all kinds of work. When someone buys something in a department store, information about the sale goes into a computer. A scientist can talk to the computer about the rocks, and the computer answers the questions. A doctor can talk to the computer and explain what is wrong with a patient. If the doctor asks why, the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why.
When early humans began farming, it was a revolutionary change in human life. It was hundreds of thousands of years later that people developed a writing system. In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do. This could be a frightening development. （10分）

It takes a whole army of people to put out one of the big daily newspapers. There are three separate departments needed to make a newspaper operate smoothly: editorial, mechanical, and business.
The editorial department is the one most people think about first. That is the news-gathering part of the newspaper. The most familiar job in this department is that of the reporter--- the person who gets the information for a story and writes it. A photographer takes the pictures to go with the reporter’s story.
Editors are the decision makers. There are many editors at a newspaper to do such jobs as assigning the stories to reporters, reading the stories to make sure they are correct, and deciding where the stories should appear in the paper. The most important stories go on the front page. There are also picture editors who choose which pictures will appear in the paper. Other jobs in the editorial department include artists, copy editors, proofreaders, and cartoonists.
The biggest job in the mechanical department is printing the paper. Most larger newspapers have their own printing presses. Some small papers send their work to outside printing shops. After an issue, or edition, is printed, it is ready to be sold or “circulated” to the public.
The circulation of the paper is one of the jobs of the business department. This department also sells the advertising space. This is very important for newspapers. Many papers make more money selling advertising space than selling newspapers. The business department also takes care of normal business jobs, such as paying the bills and keeping records. （10分）
