country these days, electronic mail messages are ending with this strange little mark:-) or one of its many variants（变体），like :-（.it was 20 years ago that scott fahlman taught the net how to smile. the carnegie mellon computer scientist has devoted his life to man-made intelligence, the practice of teaching computers how to think like humans, but the bearded scientist is perhaps best known for a flash of inspiration that helped to define internet culture.by the early 1980s the computer science group at carnegie mellon was making heavy use of online bulletin boards or“boards”.a good many of the posts were humorous. the problem was that if someone made a humorous remark, a few readers would fail to get the joke. this problem caused some people to suggest（only half seriously）that maybe it would be a good idea to clearly mark posts that were not to be taken seriously. after all, when using text-based online communication, we lack the body language or the tone of voice that communicates this information when we talk in person or on the phone.so on sept. 19, 1982, fahlman typed :-) in an online message. “i had no idea i was starting something that would soon pollute all the worlds communications channels,” he wrote later. the“smiley face”has since become common in online communication, allowing 12-year-old girls and corporate lawyers alike to mark their messages with a quick symbol that says, “hey, im only joking.”this creation caught on quickly around carnegie mellon, and soon spread to other universities and research labs by means of the computer networks of the day. since then, the smiling icons（marks）have taken the e-mail world by storm. now called emoticons, short for emotive icons, fahlmans smiley face encouraged the creation of thousands of variants.yahoo, microsoft and america online all put emoticons into their instant-messaging systems, while telecom companies, jewelry makers and online merchants have sent in trademark applications（申请）for products and ads that include fahlmans smiley face.but fahlman has never seen a cent from his creation. “if it cost people a cent to use it, nobody would have used it. this is my little gift to the world, for better or worse,”he said.68. what do the underlined words this information in paragraph 3 refer to?athe body language.bthe suggestion of marking postscthe tone of voicedthe humors behind the words69. the purpose of fahlman in typing the first smiley face was .ato explain to others that he didnt take his message seriously.bto fill all the worlds communication channels with smiley faces.cto make money out of telecom companies and online merchants.dto show his happy feelings and to help to define internet culture.70. what does the passage mainly talk about?ainternet culturebelectronic mail message.cfahlmans creation.donline smiley face.ein the 1920s demand for american farm products fell, as european countries began to recover from world war i and instituted austerity (紧缩) programs to reduce their imports. the result was a sharp drop in farm prices. this period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. they were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods. the prices of the items farmers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. these developments were made worse by the great depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1939s. in 1929, under president herbert hoover, the federal farm board was organized. it established the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it represented the first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers. president hoovers successor attached even more importance to this problem. one of the first measures proposed by president franklin d. roosevelt when he took office in 1933 was the agricultural adjustment act, which was subsequently passed by congress. this law gave the secretary of agriculture the power to reduce production through voluntary agreements with farmers who were paid to take their land out of use. a deliberate scarcity of farm products was planned in an effort to raise prices. this law was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people. however, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result of resting soil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soil conservation. the roosevelt administration believed that rebuilding the nations soil was in the national interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other citizens. later the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery, hybrid (杂交) grain, and fertilizer
