Many people think that in the future puters 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 puters. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by puters, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and municating(交际). Others do not think that puters 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 puters. We will read texts on small pocket puters. The puters will keep many different books in them at the same time. We wont need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. puterized(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 puters. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe puters wont change these two habits.21. In paragraph(段落)1 it is thought people will use puters for _.A. playing games, shopping and making telephone callsB. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidaysD. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor22. Which reason for using puterized books is NOT said in the passage?A. puterized books wont be very expensive.B. puters can keep many different books in them.C. We wont have lots of pages.D. We wont need any paper.23. Paragraph 4 tells _.A. about the old and new ways of shopping and municatingB. if the Internet will change our habitsC. about puterized booksD. about future uses of puters24. The title for this passage is _.A. puters will Replace Shops and BooksB. puters Are the FutureC. puters will Do Everything for ManD. How puters Change Our Habits BLast week the manager of an old jewelers shop received a letter marked personal, so of course his secretary gave it to him unopened. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. Then he opened it and a 10 note fell out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is what it said:Dear sir,In 1935 I got engaged. But unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job. I was six months without a job and then I got work again. But of course was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring. The assistant brought some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girl-friends finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring.My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience (良心) all these years. At the time the ring cost 2 so I reckon (估计) that is about 10 at todays price. And I am sending you that amount.Yours truly,A customerWell, well, well, said the manager, life is full of surprises!25.

CWhen the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer, the movie expert turned him down, saying, Cant sing. Cant act. Dances a little. Heres another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that hed never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑). For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgments of a persons abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.The famous motto ad astra per aspera can be translated as To the stars through hardships.
