But everything would not go so well without its friend: a small, clickable mouse.In 1968, US inventor Douglas Engelbart showed a cute device (设备) to the public. It was a small wooden box with two metal wheels to roll back and forth. On top of it, there was a small red button that you could click. The device was connected to the computer with a cable (线) that looked like a “tail”. Thats how it got its name “mouse”. This was the first mouse that could fit into a users hand. Engelbart wanted computers to be more user-friendly. And he certainly succeeded. The coming of the mouse changed the way in which humans interact with computers. Instead of typing commands (指令) with a keyboard, users can now operate(操作) faster with a mouse. But the mouse didnt become popular until more than 10 years later. Apples CEO Steve Jobs revealed (展示) Apples Lisa computers accompanied with a mouse during the early 1980s. Since then, the mouse has been created in many shapes, sizes and colors, but all based on the basic idea of Engelbarts design. Although now slowly being overtaken by touchpads (触摸板) and touch-sensitive screens, the mouse and the idea behind it, remain an important feature of all modern computers. ( )4.

I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test, he said. And because I know you are all able to understand these questions, I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test. A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said, Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself. I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most. The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned lifes lessons, whether from school education or from events in their lives, and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now, and you realize that you have some limits (局限). However, there is nothing you cant do. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰) said, We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves. ( )7.

Because they were happy with the mark the teacher would give them.D. Because they thought the exam was too easy to be worth a try. ( )8. Why did the teacher give the rest students an A? A. Because they answered all the questions in the exam correctly. B. Because they had been promised an A by the teacher before. C. Because they had been working hard for each exam.D. Because they were confident in what they had learned.( )9. What does the underlined word conquer mean in the passage? A. 发现 B. 控制 C. 探索 D. 征服 ( )10. What is the writers purpose of writing the passage? A. He wants us to know what our limits are. B. He wants us to learn to believe in ourselves. C. He wants us to receive formal education. D. He wants us to learn from B students.四、词汇: A. 根据句意和汉语提示写出单词，完成句子，每空一词。1. The _ (夫妻) who live in this house have lived here for 40 years.2.
