There may be a million or more people under the age of 65 suffering from the disease.At one time, people suffering from the disease were said to be “getting old”. The disease was thought to be a natural part of growing old. It is now known that Alzheimers disease strikes young and old alike. It is an organic disease that destroys brain cells.Alzheimers disease affects the patients memory, speech, and movement.

While a personal computer should continue to perform well for years, users know that system unsteadiness does exist. Yet you can reduce it to the smallest amount by following the tips below.First, put in as little software as possible. You will have fewer software-related problems and a system that is easier to manage.Second, you should ensure that you have as much memory (RAM) in your PC as you need. If you run Windows 98 , your computer should have at least 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or more. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM if you use Windows NT or Windows 2000, but these operating system will run much more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more.Third, make sure you buy good hardware. No-name products may be cheaper and sometimes just as good as name-brand products, but name-brand products usually become well-known because of their steadiness. Its wise to buy products from famous companies because Windows will more often support the hardware that you buy. If you ace starting out with computers, its also a good idea to buy ready-made systems from major manufacturers (制造商). They are likely to have been tested thoroughly with your operating system, and you will generally experience fewer problems.Fourth, do prepare for disaster. No matter how well your system runs when you get it , the day will come when it will need to be replaced. Hopefully, you will replace it because technology has become outdated, but you may need to replace it also because the hard drive crashes or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. Thats why its important to copy your important information regularly. Whether you use a tape backup device or a CD-RM drive, its important to make a regular backup plan and stick to it.60.

Enlarge its memory to at least 128 MBD. Buy another new computer to match it62. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. your computer will save the important information when its hard drive crashesB. your computer might lose all the information it stores when it crashesC. you must not put in much softwareD. youd better use 128 MB of RAM if you run Windows NT63. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Tips you Must Follow B. How to Start Out with a ComputerC. How to Use Your PC Better D. How to Keep Your PC steadyCMany critics of the current welfare system argue that existing welfare regulations foster (培养) family instability: They maintain that those regulations, which exclude most poor husband-and-wife families from Aid to Families with Dependent Children assistance grants (补助金), contribute to the problem of family dissolution（瓦解）. Thus, they conclude that expanding the set of families suitable for family assistance plans or guaranteed (担保) income measures would result in a marked strengthening of the low-income family structure. If all poor families could receive welfare, would the incidence of instability change markedly (noticeably) ?The unhappily married couple, in most cases, remains together out of a sense of economic responsibility for their children, because of the high costs of separation, or because of the consumption benefits of marriage. The formation, maintenance, and dissolution of the family is in large part a function of the relative balance between the benefits and costs of marriage as seen by the individual members of the marriage. The major benefit generated by the creation of a family is the expansion of the set of consumption (消费) possibilities. The benefits from such a partnership depend largely on the relative dissimilarity of the resources or basic endowments (资产) each partner brings to the marriage. Persons with similar productive capacities have less economic “cement” holding their marriage together. Since the family performs certain functions society regards as vital, a complex (复杂的) network of social and legal buttresses (支撑) has evolved to reinforce marriage. Much of the variation in marital stability across income classes can be explained by the variation in costs of dissolution imposed by society, e.g. : division of property, alimony (离婚后男方给对方的生活费), child support, and the social stigma (耻辱) attached to divorce.Marital stability is related to the costs of achieving an acceptable agreement on family consumption and production and to the prevailing social price of instability in the marriage partners-social economic group. Expected AFDC income has pressures on family instability by reducing the cost of dissolution. To the extent that welfare is a form of government subsidized (补助) alimony payments, it reduces the institutional costs of separation and guarantees a minimal standard of living for wife and children. So welfare opportunities are a significant determinant (决定性的) of family instability in poor neighborhoods, but this is not the result of AFDC regulations that exclude most intact (完整无缺的) families from coverage. Rather, welfare-related instability occurs because public assistance lowers both the benefits of marriage and the costs of its disruption by providing a system of government subsidized alimony payments.64. Some criticize the current welfare regulations because_A. those regulations encourage family dissolutionB. the low-income families are not given enough the family assistance grantsC. they expand the set of families eligible for family assistanceD. the guaranteed income measures are increased65. According to this passage, family stability depends on_A. the couples earning abilityB. the relative balance between the benefits and costs of marriageC. how much possessions the couple have before marriageD. a network of social and legal support66. All of the following are mentioned by the author as factors tending to perpetuate ( cause sth. To continue )_A. the stigma attached to divorceB. the social class of the partnersC. the cost of alimony and child supportD. the loss of property upon divorce67.
