In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a stunt.The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later. There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channels reality show called Diggers.CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment.To others, the most interesting object would likely be the Lisa mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs. The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.根据短文内容，判断正误。对的选A，错的选B56. A time capsule buried by Steve Jobs has been dug out.57. The time capsule was buried back in 1983.58. It took two hours to dig up the time capsule by hand.59. Bottles of beer were buried to see if they would go bad.60. The apple mouse discovered was named after Lisa.Hello everyone hows everybody doing today? I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. so its understandable if youre a little nervous. some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you couldve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning. I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didnt have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday at 4:30 in the morning. I wasnt too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, Id fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever Id complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, This is no picnic for me, either. Im here because I want to talk with you about your education and whats expected of all of you in this new school year.Now Ive given a lot of speeches about education. And Ive talked a lot about responsibility. But at the end of the day, we can have the most devoted teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world and none of it will matter unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. And thats what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. Every single one of you has something youre good at. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.61. Who was the speaker talking to? A. Some school students. B. Some school leaders. C. Some educators. D. Some parents.62. When was the speech given? A. At the beginning of a school year. B. At the end of a semester. C. In the middle of a school year. D. During the summer vacation.63.

According to the speaker, whats the most important in education? A. Devoted teachers. B. Supportive parents. C. Best schools. D. Students responsibilityBill Perkins, a Democratic state senator of the USA, has introduced legislation that would ban eating in the New York City subway system and fine first-time violators 250 ( twice that for repeat offenders ). Mr. Perkins argued, not unreasonably, that eating on the subway breeds rats.Currently, some cities in China are also considering food ban on subway trains. Beyond the rats and fires, food can also result in quarrels and even fist fights.However, some others are opposed to the idea. They argue that people like eating in the train in the morning because they dont have enough time to eat at their houses.Personally, Im against the ban because of the huge inconvenience it would cause, and the expense involved in enforcing it. Still, I think we all need to have responsibility to try to treat our subway system and fellow riders with respect, and that extends to food as well.65. What did Senator Bill Perkins suggest? A. Stopping food from being brought to the subway trains. B. Fining those who eat in the subway train 250. C. Making a law to ban eating in the New York subway system. D. Killing rats in the subway system.66. One reason for Chinas cities to consider a similar food ban is that food may _. A. bring dangers and illnesses B. pollute the air and water C. cause quarrels and even fights D. attract more passengers67. Those who disagree with the ban argue that if eating is banned on the subway, _. A. some people will have to go without breakfast B. they will not be able to travel long distances C. people will have low blood-sugar levels D. bad manners will not be criticized.68. The author seems to agree that _ A. eating ought to be banned on the subway B. it is expensive to carry out the food ban C. table manners are unimportant in a subway train D. eating in public is not related to respecting others My passage into eighties a few weeks ago gave me a moments reflection and the thought that I should watch how others in this situation have been affected. After a while it seemed to me that the first 80 years are the hardest. Once you reach 80, everyone wants to carry your baggage and help you up steps. If you forget your name or anybody elses name, or an appointment or your own telephone number, or promise to be three places at the same time, or you cant remember how many grandchildren you have, you need only explain that you are 80. Being 80 is a lot better than being 70. At 70 people are mad at you for everything. At 80, you have a perfect excuse no matter what you do. If you act foolishly, its your second childhood. Everybody is looking for symptoms of your failures of the brain. Being 70 is not fun at all. At that age they expect you to retire to a house in Florida and complain about your arthritis( 关节炎) and you ask everybody to stop mumbling (咕哝) because you cant understand them. (Actually your hearing is about 50% gone.) If you survive until you are 80, everybody is surprised that you are still alive. They treat you with respect just for having lived so long. Actually they seem surprised that you can walk and talk sensibly. So please, folks, try to make it to 80. Its the best time of life. People forgive you for anything. In response to the question of what years were the most difficult, an 80-year-old responded “those between 10 and 70.” Life begins at 80.69. According to the passage, how old is the writer now? A. Sixty. B. Seventy. C. Eighty. D. Not known.70. What does the writer say people do to an eighty-year-old man? A. They are often mad at him. B. They offer help to him C. They talk loudly to him. D. They make fun of him.71. What problem do the 80-year-olds often have according to Paragraph 2? A. They are not respected by other people. B. They are afraid of death. C. They cant understand many things. D. They are often forgetful.72. The author wrote this passage in a _ way. A. humorous B. serious C. negative D. passiveEarth Day is a day that is meant to inspire awareness for the Earths natural environment. It is the day to highlight the fact that we all have a responsibility to the environment and need to change our behavior to improve the quality of our air, earth and water.Global awareness of the need to protect the environment has grown greatly since 20 million people in the United States marked the first Earth Day on April 22,1970. That was started at the time of the destruction caused by an oil spill(漏油)along the coast of southern California, which killed marine life and about 10,000 birds. The incident was a wake-up call for the need to protect the Earth. But similar disasters have continued to happen.Having one day to protect the Earths resources is clearly more than necessary. However, efforts need to be made by individuals of a country instead of just the government. Solving environmental problems is a personal responsibility.Some of us dont think that reusing grocery bags and recycling water bottles can help improve the quality of our air, land and water. But this is an easy place to start to make a difference when we celebrate Earth Day.73. The first Earth Day started _.A. when 20 million Am
