There were two interesting pieces of news items in the paper a few years ago. One was about a man who received a bill from the telephone company for $ 2,000 a month for doing nothing.

  The connection between the two news items is simple; computers-the best invention of the 20th century. The telephone bill came from a computer which made a terrifying mistake; that man’s bill was only $ 23.26. The other item was not as amusing. A man walked into the unguarded computer room of a large packaged food company and expertly programmed the computer to pay him $ 2,000 a month for raw meat which he “supplied ” to the company. Of course he never sent the meat, but he certainly received the money . The computer wrote out a bill, and even “signed ” it. It was only a random (随便) check that uncovered the trick. It could be happening in thousands of other companies all over the world.

  Computers are not the magical workers that some people say they are. They make mistakes, they’re sometimes slower than human beings and they’re easily fooled.

  The US used to conscript (征兵) people with the help of a computer. The army sent out a card, which had to be filled in and sent back. It was easy to avoid being called up simply by spreading candle-wax(腊) on the card. The computer couldn’t read the card, and did nothing with it.

  It’s in our everyday life that computers cause many problems. Let’s get back to using people instead of computers, before a mistake that we can’t put right.

1.In the first paragraph we can conclude ______.

A.the paper is telling a lie

B.the first sentence is the topic sentence

C.the two news items made people surprised

D.if a man did nothing at all for the telephone company, he would still get $2,000 a month

2.The main idea of the second paragraph is _______.

A.the computers are magical workers

B.the computers can do anything as well as man

C.the computers can write out the bill and even sign it

D.the computers sometimes also make mistakes

3.Computers ______.

A.were used to conscript people

B.are usually faster than human beings

C.are not so magical as people expect

D.were not easily controlled and always fooled human beings

4.The writer thinks _______.

A.we’d better use people instead of computers in our everyday life

B.we should not use computers because they always make mistakes

C.computers are widely used in our everyday life

D.if we want to work well, don’t use the computers

After successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian(平民)life.

For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines(水兵)will ever have to undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all the physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder(创伤后应急障碍), or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat(打仗).

Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life.

Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD.

People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares(梦魇)and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person’s daily life.

Fullerton College, like most colleges, has its own Veteran’s(老兵)Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison(联络) for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veterans Affairs website.

The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more.

1.One purpose of the writer in writing the passage is ________________.

A.to introduce some methods to cure PTSD

B.to instruct PTSD patients to return to civilian life

C.to recommend a website for veterans and people concerned

D.to give military service men and women advice on civilian life

2.What problems will some returning soldiers and marines meet with?

A.How to readjust to civilian life.

B.How to get rid of mental diseases

C.How to get along with PTSD patients

D.How to return to school for benefits.

3.Which of the following is true about Ray Bustos?

A.He’s a veteran who has just come back from a military combat.

B.He runs Fullerton College with a veteran office.

C.He’s in charge of an office dealing with veteran affairs.

D.He provides a lot of financial aid for soldiers and marines.

4.The best title for the passage is __________.

A. PTSD: Killer of A Civilian Life.          B. The Last Assignment For All Military Persons

C. How to Overcome PTSD.                   D. Ready for a Civilian Life?
