  I am sure that everybody in his/her life has used computers.Nowadays you can feel their presence everywhere—at home,at school,at work and they certainly make life easier.On the other hand,there are people who can work without them.

  Anyway, I believe their presence is a good thing.Life with them seems less difficult and more comfortable.You can use them to choose your meal,to withdraw your money,and also to save your time,because these operations are all controlled by computers.Therefore,you can hardly imagine the modern world without them;the whole planet seems to be one big computer society.

  Nevertheless,problems can often appear in this area,too.To have a computer means you have to be quite rich and have the necessary skills to use it.However, think about questions like,“Are computers available for everyone, for rich and poor people,for people from villages and people from cities? Aren’t they too expensive? Is everyone able to learn how to use them and does everyone have the chance to access and work with them? How could everything in the future be dependent on them?”Therefore,I think our society will be divided into two parts.One part will work with them and enjoy the benefits that computers can bring and the other part will be pushed out of society and will actually be left far behind the other group.

Another question that bothers me is,computers are important and they’re good things in our life, but they aren’t everything.They are good as a help at school, quite often as entertainment, especially for young people, as an necessary tool to help in research etc., but I think we shouldn’t be so dependent on them, because computers are only machines and machines can’t feel anything, can’t be human and sympathetic, and every action performed by computer can be interfered(干涉) with could cause these machines to crash or work badly.

  In conclusion, I would like to say I am not against computers.I use computers too, but people should be wary all the time.

1.By saying“wary”(in the last paragraph),the author is trying to say,“People should   ”.

  A.be strongly for the use of computers because of its convenience 

  B.be careful with computers that will also cause problems

  C.master more necessary computer skills

  D.not do something that causes computers to work badly

2.In the third paragraph,the author presents his idea by   

A.asking questions for people to think about

B.giving examples to support his argument

C.raising questions and answering them

D.expressing his opinion directly

3.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to   

A.encourage us to use computers in our society

B.advise us to say no to computers from now on

  C.remind us to care about the problems that computers bring

D.inform us that computers has become a necessary part of our life

  Andrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking before.However, the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady.The old lady climbed in through the car door, and pushed her big brown shopping bag down under her feet.She said in almost a whisper,“Thank you, dear-I’m just going to Brockbourne.”

  Something in the way the lady spoke made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker.She didn’t know why, but she felt instinctively(直觉上)that there was something wrong, something…dangerous.But how could an old lady be dangerous?It was strange.

  Careful not to turn her head, Andrea looked sideways at her passenger.She studied the hat, the dirty collar of the dress, the shapeless body, the arms with their thick black hairs

  Thick black hairs?

  Hairy arms?Andrea’s blood froze.

  This wasn’t a woman.

  At first, she didn’t know what to do.Then suddenly, an idea came into her racing, terrified brain.Swinging the wheel suddenly, she threw the car into a skid(侧滑),and brought it to a stop.

  “My god!”she shouted,“A child!I think I hit her!”The“old lady”was clearly shaken by the sudden skid,“I didn’t see anything, dear,”she said.“I don’t think you hit anything.”

  “I am sure it was a child!”insisted Andrea.“Could you just get out and have a look?”She held her breath.Would her plan work?

  It did.The passenger slowly climbed out to have a look.Hardly was she out of the car, Andrea drove madly away, and soon she put a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker.

  It was only then that she thought about the bag.Maybe the bag would provide some information about what she was.Pulling into the side of the road, Andrea opened the heavy bag curiously.

  It contained only one item-a small hand axe, with a sharp blade.The axe, and the inside of the bag, were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood.

  Andrea began to scream.

  Is war unavoidable? Can war be prevented?

  History tells that there were wars, great or small, in every century, in every decade.Throughout the ages, from the Stone age to the Atomic Age, men have been fighting, first with swords and shields(盾), then with guns and cannons, and now, hydrogen bombs and missiles are used for military purpose.But, in spite of all these, it is still my belief that war can be prevented and peace can be won, but it requires the effort of every one of us.

  I am sure that we would not like to experience another world war.If it ever happens, two-thirds of the world and much of the civilization which men have gained through time, patience and effort will be destroyed.Will then the remaining one-third of the world be able to survive on its own?

  Our task now is not to blame the past, but to plan for the future.

  If there is peace in the world, men can use their rockets to explore the mystery of space, their submarines to explore the depth of the sea, their missiles to deliver mails and their fine equipment to penetrate(穿透)the jungles of Africa, instead of using them military.

  Governments can use their money to build more schools, so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens.Scientists can use atomic energy to propel(推动)steamships and planes.They can also design new machines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of living of the people.

  How can a peaceful world be achieved? It requires, in my opinion, the understanding and friendship between all people from all nations.Let no one suffer discrimination by reason of color, race, religion, or national origin.Let the rich support the poor and the strong help the weak.

  We know that neither peace nor such a dream world can come true in a day or a month.It may even take decades or centuries.But let us plan and begin now.

    After winning a big game,athletes are often asked how they feel.Usually athletes say how 36 it is to win this big game.On the contrary,the fact is that losing a big game,or in my case,all the games,can be even harder.

    From the spectators’ point of view,last year’s basketball 37 for my high school team was nothing 38 of an embarrassment.And 39 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of,that season had a bigger impact on me than any other.As a team captain,I knew it probably wouldn’t be the 40 year,but did I ever think we would lose every game?Of course not.Since six of our top players had graduated,it was clear that we were a (n) 41 team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected, 42 ,as our team center was suspended (禁赛) for the season,and two key members decided to 43 for some reason.At this point,dropping out probably passed through every player’s mind,but in the end,we all stuck if out, 44 to work still harder.

    Then there came a time when even our 45 and given up on us.Personally,I felt like it was 46 worthwhile giving my all.I thought,if even the coach doesn’t believe in us,whyshould I?But just as my hope began to 47 ,a teammate called a meeting.He said,“Nobody thinks we are going to win,but,as teammates and friends,we 48 it to each other to go all out every game.”

    It was that moment that 49 me how to be a leader.It hit me that I certainly didn’t 50 the role.As a leader you can never quit 51 the team who looks up to you.It is one 52 to be named captain,feel great and go through the motions,but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone realizes their full 53 all the time.

    I am sure it is great to go through without losing and bringing home awards.But in all honesty,I 54 the fact that my team lost every game last year.It may not help me to become a better basketball player,but it already has made me a better leader,and 55
