in an interview.cthat little “a” with a circle curling around it that is found in e-mail addresses is most commonly referred to as the “at” symbol. surprisingly though, there is no official, universal name for this sign. there are dozens of strange terms to describe the symbol. before it became the standard symbol for electronic mail, the symbol was mostly used to represent the cost of something or how heavy something is. for instance, if you purchased 6 apples, you might write it as 6 apples $1.10 each. with the introduction of e-mail came the popularity of the symbol. the symbol or the at sign separates a persons online user name from his mail server(服务器) address. for instance, . its widespread use on the internet made it necessary to put this symbol on keyboards in other countries that have never seen or used the symbol before. as a result, there is really no official name for this symbol. the actual origin of the symbol remains a mystery. history tells us that the symbol came from the tired hands of the monks (僧侣) in the middle ages. during the middle ages before the invention of printing machines, every letter of a word had to be copied with great efforts by hand for each copy of a published book. the monks that performed these long, boring coping duties looked for ways to reduce the number of individual strokes (笔画) per word for common words. although the word “at” is quite short to begin with, it was a common enough word in texts and documents so that those monks thought it would be quicker and easier to shorten the word “at” even more. as a result, the monks changed the shape of “t” into a circle to surround “a”, thus leaving out two strokes in the spelling “t”.64. before becoming a symbol for e-mail, the symbol was most commonly used _.a. when people referred to the cost or weight of something b. to represent the word “at” in computer languagesc. to represent the word “at” on keyboardsd. when people wrote business documents65. why did the symbol become popular?a. because it looked interesting. b. because e-mail appeared.c. because it was used by monks.d. because it was officially used in texts.66. we can know from the passage that in the middle ages _.a. monks were hard-workingb. the printing press was inventedc. the symbol was seldom seen in textsd. book copying work needed to be done all by hand67. monks in the middle ages replaced the word “at” with the symbol mainly to _.a. make the work look good b. save their effort and timec. keep some information secret d. make it easier to understandd“i cant find my sunglasses in broad daylight, but i can find the snooze button (止闹按钮) on my alarm, even if it is a meter away with both eyes closed.” this is the closing line of an article i read on sleep recently. the moment i read it, it reminded me almost everybody longs for those extra few moments of sleep every day.however, the “i am very sleepy” phrase reaches its peak during ones teens. teens are often badly blamed for staying up late and falling asleep in class.the one thing that i will never forget about my school days is the lack of sleep. because of assignments, we hardly used
