child heard her parents talking about her little brother. all she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. when she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.she hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.“and what do you want?” asked the salesman. “its for my little brother,” the girl answered. “hes really, really sick and i want to buy a miracle.” “pardon?” said the salesman.“my brother andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. so how much does a miracle cost?” “we dont sell a miracle here, child. im sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.“listen, if it isnt enough, i can try and get some more. just tell me how much it costs.”a well-dressed man heard it and asked, “what

keyboards to input chinese characters. but if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes (笔画) of each chinese character when writing on paper. experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.do you write by hand more or type more? in beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. and computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.all the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. and thats why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. but when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“when im writing with a pen, i find i often cant remember how to write a character, though i feel im familiar with it.”“im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”many students dont feel this is something to worry about. now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?many educators think differently. shi liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “ chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. but those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. all the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. and handwriting contains the writers emotion. through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”to encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.60. the underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means_.a. getting bored with b. getting dependent onc. becoming crazy aboutd.

homework and essaysc. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterd. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently62. which of the following statement is not true of the advantage of handwriting?a. handwriting contains the writers emotions.b. chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.c. handwriting can impress people well and build ones self-confidence.d. the writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.63. which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?a. to type or to handwrite. b. the importance of handwriting and typing.c. writing by computer will replace writing by hand.d. practical and aesthetic value of chinese characters.clisten up! unilever to share the secrets of its success

possibly dangerous form of waste electronic junk (电子垃圾), such as old computers, cell phones, and televisions. but this process for managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous(肆无忌惮的) way more often

researcher.one of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in lagos, nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. often its picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materi
