your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.robert shostak is director of the new computer museum. he says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.a computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs(软盘), to others to see on their computers. he could also put his pictures on paper. but to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser(激光) printer.robert shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. mr shostak said the fiu museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. he says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. and the great number of home computers in america could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.61. the main purpose of this text is to give information

no medicine for his disease. he told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. he also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. in other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” the doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day. a month later the gentleman came into the doctors office. he looked cheerful and happy. he thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier

closer the blood relationship between two people，the closer they are likely to be in intelligencethus if we take two unrelated people at random（随机地） from the population，it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely differentif on the other hand we take two identical twins，they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environmentswe might send one，for example，to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boringwe would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a partthis conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but are not related at all，are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence71which of the following best describes the writers viewpoint in paragraph 1? a. intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment b. intelligence is developed by the environment c. some people are born clever and others born stupid d. to some extent, intelligence is given at birth72in the first paragraph，“no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence” suggests that .aif a person is born stupid, nothing can change him into an educated person bthe difference in mens intelligence depends on the amount of their education cif a person is
