The same with electronic greeting cards, for Valentines Day or many other occasions. E-cards are available for free on the Internet. Most electronic greeting card sites give you a wide selection of choices and let you personalize your card. Unlike with traditional printed cards, you dont schlep(拖曳) to a card store to make your selection, you dont fork out any money. Delivery is immediate; theres no postage required and you are not using paper. But the best thing about these card sites is that they animate and play music, which makes them very cool to kids. Most electronic greeting card sites are similar in set-up. Upon entering the site, you select a category of card .that interests you. The next screen shows you a series of possible card choices. By clicking on one that appeals (有感染力) to you, the card will enlarge and may animate. If there is music with the card, it will start to play. Usually there is a place to click to see the second(inside) page of the card. The site then offers you ability to personalize the card you have selected; you may be able to change the proposal message or add to it. At some sites, you can even add voice, video or photos to the cards. Once you have personalized the e-card, you enter the e-mail address for delivery. Your recipient(接受者)will get an email telling them to go to a specific Web address to view the card you have made. You may be able to send the same card to multiple recipients. The delivery can be immediate, or you can choose to have it delivered on a specific day. Most electronic greeting card sites, like many other fields, have lots of advertising. Many make their money by enticing(诱惑 )people to buy extra stuff like gift certificates to add to navigate through this commercialism ( 利润第一主义) and to land in areas that are fun and appropriate for them.56. All of the following are the advantages of electronic greeting cards except that _. A. you still have to pay a small sum of money to send e-cards B. e-cards are available for free on the Internet C. e-cards are very cool to kids because they have cartooned pictures and some music to go with itD. the delivery of e-cards is immediate57.

The reasons why children love to send and receive e-cards.D. The advantages and disadvantages of traditional printed cards.58. The underlined word available (in Paragraph 2)means _.A. interesting B. buyable C. existing D. able to be got orBThe Internet is a system of electronic communication. It helps people share information, communicate with family and friends, and start businesses. But these people must have use for a computer, and know how to use it. And they must have a connection, usually through a telephone line or an Internet center. All of this costs money. For many poor people, a so-called digital divide exists. People who cannot connect to theInternet become poorer, while those who can become richer. The United Nations is working to solve this problem. In December, it will hold a conference in Geneva, called the World Summit(峰会) on the Information Society. Political and business leaders will come together with delegates（代表) from nongovernmental organizations, educational groups and others. They will discuss the fast-growing information technology industry and its effects on the world. UN organizers say they hope the gathering will lead to a political declaration and action plan. The goal is to bridge the digital divide between rich and poor nations. A second conference, to examine progress, will take place in Tunisia in 2005. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan recently spoke to business leaders at a meeting in New York. Mister Annan urged them to take part in the World Summit on the Information Society. He told them that industry can play an important part in limiting technological differences between countries. He noted that some companies already made efforts to improve Internet skills among poor Americans. The UN Secretary General urged businesses to also look for projects in developing countries. Cisco Systems in San Jose, California, is one company that already does that. In 1997,Cisco began a special program to teach Internet technology skills to people around the world. Today, the Cisco Networking Academy(学院) has spread to 145 nations. Mister Annan says more ideas like this are needed to close the digital divide. He says information technology is not a magic(有魔力的) answer for poor nations, but it can lead to peace and development. He says news and information provided through the Internet help build trade, employment, good government and democracy around the world.59.

Most of them were established in the 19th century they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result some womens colleges decided to accept men students too. Other, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again. The president $f Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a womens college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a womens college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women. Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a womens college, women feel free to say what they think. Womens schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a womens college every governing office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show this leadership continues after college. The studies show that American women who went to womens colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.63.

Movies, concerts and shows are enjoyable but expensive. If you think that you cant have a good time without spending a lot of money, cad on. A little resourcefulness and a few minutes of newspaper-scanning should give you some pleasant surprises. People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Stroll through busy streets and see what everyone else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you will get free fashion show, too. Window-shopping is also a safe port-if the stores are closed. Check the listings in your neighborhood paper. Local collages or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speaker or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably wont cost you a penny. Be sure 0 check commercial advertisements too. A flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing. Perhaps you can find a tee cooking or crafts demonstration in a department store. Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. you may have saved some money too, since these places often et aside one or two free admission days at slow times during he week. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the indispensable sights that people travel miles
