In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.Family life has been affected(影响) in various ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents cant keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugsor is “showing off ” by speeding or breaking other traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者) of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). these women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.Fro many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.56.

What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?A. Parents have paid more attention to their children.B. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem.58. We can infer from the text that _ in America.A. it will be more difficult for people to get new carsB. parents will not allow their children to have their own carsC. the government will encourage people to use public transportationD. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problemsBPrinceton UniversityLocationThe University is in Princeton, New Jersey.

Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States.“After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy,” recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. “We couldnt even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks Mr. Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. “None of the companys 350 other employees could have done the job in three months,” says Mr. Braun. “Suleyman can see into the heart of the computer.”Mr. Gokyigits gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. “The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do,” says Mr. Gokyigit.The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. “Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,” he says.Much of the student programmers speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long thin fingers fly over the keyboard. “Nothing seems to shake his attention,” says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss.Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day. “We consider him our top problem solver,” says Mr. Braun.63.

Top computer scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers.DDo you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State university business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and thats a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnolgy(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “it remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”67. By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”, Michael Zey means _.A. they believe that there is no limit of livingB. they are sure to find the truth about long livingC. they have got some ideas about living foreverD. they are able to make people live past the present life span68.

The underlined “it” (paragraph 4) refers to _.A. a great pushB. the idea of living beyond the present life spanC. the idea of living from 200 to 300 yearsD. the conservative estimate70. What would be the best title for this text?A. Living Longer or NotB. Science, Technology and Long LivingC. No Limit for Human LifeD. Healthy Lifestyle and Long LivingEOne of Britains bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieberand was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to 30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Biebers bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Years Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didnt seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact(接触).” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phone the police at 11 pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside? My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the mans room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(戴上手铐).”71.
