Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we wont have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交际). Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Lets look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We wont need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers wont change these two habits.41.

How Computers Change Our Habits BSons HelpMr. Lang worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博) and he learned it soon.

His wife told him not to do it but he didnt listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was hardly sent away.

Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the city waters. But now there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts Club(冬泳爱好者协会)and it has more than 2, 000 members. The oldest is 84 years of age and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all ways of life. They may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, students.Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water temperature in the citys lakes is around 0C, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy waters, even when it is snowing. They enjoy themselves in the lake, while the people by the side of the lake are wearing heavy clothes.Why are so many people interested in winter-swimming? Because winter-swimming can be good for ones health.Bei Sha is a good example. He is 69 years old, and he once suffered from heart trouble for 26 years.

Winter-swimmers Are Brave MenDEverybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey rats will soon be mans new best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they cant get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First , the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rats brain gives a signal.This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When rats brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots noses dont work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. ” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they dont need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to, and a rat would get out if it wasnt safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will he happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake, of course.）53In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become mans best friends because they can .Atake the place of mans rescue jobs Bfind the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings Cserve as food for people alive who are trapped in building Dget into small spaces54From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by .Athe noise made by the rat Bthe rats unusual behaviourCthe signal sent by the radio on the rats backDthe smell given off by the person55In doing rescue jobs, . Arats smell better than dogsBdogs dont need to be trained to smell peopleCrobots sense of smell can be affected by other smells around Drats can see something in the dark and smaller than robots56After reading the passage we can know .Aat present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleBthe “rat project” has been completedCpeople are now happy to see a rat in a buildingDnow people still use dogs and robots in performing rescuesEThere once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people. He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his shop to complete his daily routine.However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didnt have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop.The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m. and started buying several items. As planned, the shopkeeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch.Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretended customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fight. The now honest man explained their plan.The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man who could take ownership(所有权) of the shop and run it.
