I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe youre too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month.”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, youve been here two months, so.”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays. you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays. ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off . that leaves. hmm. forty one dollars. Correct？”Julias left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.“Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didnt I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didnt. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well. if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didnt know that! Take three from fourteen. leaves eleven. Heres your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - merci?” I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know Ive cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this merci？”“In my other places they didnt give me anything at all.”“They didnt give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you. I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you. Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didnt you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression, “It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out. I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”56. While talking to Julia, the writer expected her _. A. to make a protestB. to show gratitude C. to be obedientD. to give an explanation57. What kind of person was Julia according to the passage? A. She became angry in face of injustice. B. She was always ready to accept injustice. C. She was too shy to express her anger. D. She was reluctant to express herself.58. At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”toshow _. A. his understanding of Julias anxiety B. his worry about Julias future C. his concern on the living condition of working - class people D. his sympathy for the mental state of those exploited59. From the text, we can see the writer is _.A. aggressiveB. cruelC. kindD. strictBA small group of people around the world have started implanting ( 移植) microchips to link the body and the computer.Mr Donelson and three friends, who had driven 100 miles from their homes in Loockport，New York，to have the implants put in by Dr Jesse Villemaire，whom they had persuaded to do the work，are part of a small group, about 30 people around the world， who have independently put in microchips, into their bodies, according to Web-based reports.At a shop Williarn Donelson was having a four-millimeter-wide needle put into his left hand. “Im set, ” he said with a deep breath. He watched as the needle pierced刺穿）the fleshy webbing between his thumb and forefinger and a microchip was set under his skin. At last he wou1d be ab1e to do what he had long imagined: strengthen his bodys powers through technology.By putting the chip inside-a radio frequency identification device (RFID)-Mr. Donelson would have at his fingertips the same magic that makes safety gates open with a knock of a card, and bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-ZPass. With a wave of his hand he plans to connect with his computer, open doors and unlock his car.Implanting the chip was a relatively simple task but very meaningful to Mr. Donelson, a 21-year-old computer networking student so interested in the link between technology and the body that he has data-input jacks ( 数据输入插空）inside his body. They might lead to an imagined future when people can be connected directly into computer. His new chip is enclosed in a glass container no bigger than a piece of rice and has a small memory where he has stored the words “Technology”.Some doctors have done the piercing in peoples homes, and others have implanted chips in their offices after patients signed forms showing the fact that long term studies have not been done on their safety. Piercers treat the implants much like any other medical operation steps，instructing people to keep the site dry，and advising them that swelling（肿）and redness should last a week.60.When a RFID implanted，which of the following will Mr. Donelson be able to do？A. Make safety gates open with a knock of a card.B. Make bridge and tunnel traffic flows smoothly with an E-ZPass.C. Open doors and unlock his cars with a wave of his hand.D. Connect his body and brain directly on to computers.61. The underlined word “they” (paragraph 5) refers to .A. glass containers B. implanted computer chipsC. data input jacksD. computer and networking students62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. High Tech, Under the Skin B. A Needle, So MagicC. Donelson, a Powerful Man D. Data-input Jacks, Inside the Body63. .We can conclude from the passage that .A. Mr. Donelson has made a large sum of money by the piercingB. the piercers are people working in the computer fieldC. the piercing has no side effect and it will make people intelligentD. the long term effects of these implants are not yet knownCHumanity uses a little less than half the water available worldwide. Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts（干旱）are causing starvation and distress in some areas, and in industrial and agricultural wastes are polluting water supplies. Since the worlds population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.But that doesnt have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world if we start valuing water more than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petrol more after the 1970s oil crisis, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective（观点；角度）. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want. Instead, for all uses except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs. Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigation water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions（凹地）and pumping it to nearby cropland. No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds of even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up ce
