The bag contained a book. This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure—-a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborh Logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day, ”James Green, the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.

Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington, D. C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man, and praised her excellent English. The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先) to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary. Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi. Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck. “I’ve felt sick since then, ” Luxmoore told reporters. According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward(奖励) of $1, 000, Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “It’s wonderful news. I’m on high. ” 51. This article mainly tells about the story of ____. A. a lost diary B. Deborh Logan C. Cory Luxmoore D. the Library Company 52. From the text, we learn that the diary is now owned by____. A. Tom Brennan B. an unknown person C. a Philadelphia magazine D. the Library Company of Philadelphia 53. Philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because ____ . A. it was written in Philadelphia B. it tells stories about Philadelphia C. people in the city are interested in old things D. the British and the Americans once fought in Philadelphia 54. Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to the diary?

a—-Tom Brennan found the book in an office building. b—-The book was shown to James Green. c—-Cory Luxmoore arrived from England. d—-The book was left behind in a taxi. A. a, b, c, d B. c, b, d, a C. a, c, d, b D. c, a, b, d 55. What did Cory Luxmoore mean when he said “I’m on high”? A. I’m rich. B. I’m famous. C. I’m excited. D. I’m lucky. B Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate. ” But not all experts(专家) agree that this is a good idea. One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate. ” David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don’t have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate. ” 56. Which of the following is David Tebbutt’s idea on the relationship between people and computers? A.Computer learning should be made easier. B.There should be more computer clubs for experts. C. People should work harder to master computer use.

D.Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them. 57. We can infer from the text that “computer-literate” means ____ . A.being able to afford a computer B.being able to write computer programs C.working with the computer and finding out its value D.understanding the computer and knowing how to use it 58. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns ____. A. help to set up more computer clubs B. bring people to learn to use computers C. bring more experts to work together D. help to sell computers to the public 59. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of ____. A. making better use of computer experts B. improving computer programs C. increasing computer sales D. popularising computers C Want to save money when travelling by train?Here are some ways. Day Returns This ticket can save you up to 45% on the standard fare(车费). You have to travel after the rush hour periodd Mon. —-Fri. , but can travel at any time on Sat. or Sun. Big City Savers These are special low-priced tickets on certain trains. You have to book in advance—-at the latest by 16:00 the day before you travel. It’s first come, first served. Weekend Returns Weekend Returns are available(有售) for most journeys over 60 miles. Go on Fri. , Sat. or Sun. , and return the same weekend on Sat. or Sun. , and save up to 35% on the standard fare.

" Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—-a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One:It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident. Truth:Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be seriours enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are "thrown clear. " Myth Number Two:Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth:Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
