No, not exactly. The true2 of Christmas lies behind all these things. Maybe Charles Dickens’ novel, a Christmas Carol, can make you think more of Christmas.

But after he was dead, he5(惩罚)because of his unkindness. He tells Scrooge that three spirits(幽灵)will visit him soon.

And then the day they have mentioned comes at last. One of them is the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The spirit takes Scrooge to see what will6 to him when he is dead. Scrooge is sad and frightened to find that nobody cares about his death. He is so afraid that he7(醒来)up and finds out it is just a nightmare.

The dream warns Scrooge to change8 and be kind to others. He changes quickly and he celebrates Christmas happily with his9亲戚)by giving gifts. From then on, he treats everyone with kindness and warmth. So what does the story tell us? Yes, it tells us we should show kindness to others by10(传播)love and joy.

【题目】 It has long been considered one of the best companies, but do you have what it takes to work for Google?

It may take a sharp mind, as an American author says that the search engine giant (搜索引擎巨人) asks its interviewees to answer difficult question.

William Poundstone believes that he has unlocked the secret of how to succeed in an interview at Google in a new book, Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?

Poundstone lists several of the brain teasers (脑筋急转弯) that are said to be used by Google interviewers, from “can you swim faster in water or in syrup (糖浆)?” to “how would you weigh your head?”

Poundstone told ABC News that any Google’s questions are open-ended on purpose. The interviewer’s goal is to see how the thinking process of the applicant (应聘者) works, and to test his or her creativity when solving problems. He suggests the applicant should “retell the question” in their own words, as doing so gives them time to think and makes sure that they understand what is being asked.

Some of Google’s brain teasers:

* Why are manhole covers (下水道井盖) round?

* How much toilet paper would you need to cover Texas?

* You are shrunk (缩小) to the height of a nickel (五分硬币) and thrown in a blender (搅拌机).

The blades (刀片) start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?

* How much should you charge (开价) to wash all the windows in Seattle?

* How many times a day do a clock’s hands overlap (重叠)

【题目】 A computer program that could help catch and even translate messages from aliens in outer space has been developed by a British scientist.

If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it impossible to understand them. But John Elliott of Leeds Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure (结构) of their language. He thinks that’s the first step in understanding what they are saying.

Dr Elliott’s program would compare an alien language to a database (数据库) of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure. “Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be hard to use,” he told New Scientist magazine.

Research has shown that it is possible to know if a signal carries a language rather than a picture or music. Dr Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.

If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientists would then be able to see if it’s similar to any human language, or a mix of the languages.

However, Dr Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a “code (密码) book”.

1Why did Dr Elliott come up with the program?

A.To learn more about outer space.B.To compare an alien language to human languages.

A.Some necessary conditions for making the program work.

B.Dr Elliott’s findings about the differences between human languages.

C.Three important functions of the program.

D.The number of sentence structures of human languages.

4How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens?

A.Mix the message with 60 human languages.

B.Translate the message and send it to the database.

C.Pick out the sentence structure and translate it.

D.Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages.

5What can we infer from the passage?

A.Not all languages have their own structures.

B.To translate alien languages, there is much work to do.

C.The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages.
