hundreds of years, it was not until 160 years ago that it was mined for the first time on the north american continent. h. w. johns, owner of a new york city supply shop for roofers, was responsible for the opening of that first mine.mr. johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in italy. he experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. after putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. how astonished the customers were to discover that he was not burned at all. you can well imagine that he had increasing business in asbestos roofing materials. however, because it was very expensive to transport them from italy to the united states, mr. johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. this young man found great vein(岩脉), in the province of quebec in canada.ever since 1881 quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. when it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. when it is separated, a strange thing happens; the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibers. scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads, but they have found thousands of uses of this fireproof material, of the so-called “cloth of stone”.52. which title best expresses the main idea of this passage?a. asbestos mined in canada b. fireproof matterc. a “wonder” mineral d. a new roofing material53. johns proved his ability as a salesman by_.a. going into roofing business b. carrying asbestos from italyc. sending a trained scientist d. showing the use of asbestos gloves54.

are overly violent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. others say that they make children unsociable and are bad for their eyes. some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in reading on them. now, however, it seems that computer games have also become a feminist(女权主义者) issue. game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to increase the number of female game players. the vast majority of computer games still sell to a mainly male market. perhaps this is because the violent nature of many of the games appeals more to males or perhaps because many of the main characters in the games are male. manufacturers attempts to produce more female characters increase their share of the female gaming market which has met with serious criticism from many womens groups. while heroines(女英雄) such as lara croft of the tomb raider game are seen as providing positive role models of strong women, many believe that the characters unrealistic barbies are subconsciously setting unattainable standards in the minds of young women. perhaps a stronger criticism is that although many games now include female characters, their role is often secondary and they support the main, male, action characters within the games. of course the nature of many of the games remains violent and destructive and this in itself could well continue to put off female gamers. there are now, however, a number of web sites springing up on the world wide web to help women deal with this issue. sites such as game girlz, women gamers and game gal offer game reviews, articles, discussion forums and even employment opportunities for women interested in becoming part of the rapidly expanding games industry. the games are reviewed by women from a very female perspective. some rate the games from one to ten across a range of criteria which include the appearance of the female characters, the degree of intelligence attributed to them in the game and even the marketing attitude adopted by the company. the sites are obviously looking for games that move away from the very male dominated and violent nature of the majority of computer games. many of them review games that are more constructive and developmental. although the common fantasy themes of knights(骑士), witches and goblins（妖精） still exist within these games, the aims are often very different. instead of destroying opposing armies，the aim of the game can be to make peace with them. with this increased degree of awareness and involvement from women in the games industry many positive changes could be made that could encourage more women and young girls to become enthusiastic about technology. perhaps we may even find more male gamers moving away from the traditional violent and destructive games towards the more positive values promoted by these more feminine role models, after all tomb raider is still one of the most popular computer games on the market, but perhaps thats to
