One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents’ old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter’s wedding. We had to 36 a great climbing plant that had grown 37 a roof beam（房梁），so that we could repair the roof and 38 the walls.
When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a 39 of a blackbird that had made its home in the leaves. He then 40 something 41 among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth around it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his 42 ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet（手镯）. He ran into the house to 43 me.
“You won’t believe that the 44 blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we 45 to feed on,” he said,“but they also want their children to 46 in a cradle（摇摆）of gold!”
When my daughter came over on the eve of the 47 ,we told her about this 48 occurrence.
“Don’t you remember, Mother?” she said with a loud 49 .“When I was eight, you gave me a bracelet that I 50 a few days later while out playing in the yard? It was this one!”
As the bracelet no longer 51 its owner and was dirty, I decided to take it into my safekeeping.
In December of the following year, the young couple’s baby son was baptized（受洗礼）.Among the 52 the newborn baby received, I placed his mother’s bracelet, now shining like 53 . I hope that if my grandson 54 loses it, one of the 55 that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.

查看习题详情和答案>>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 |
