34、gy （MIT）. It was in the laboratory of Prof. Edward Lorenz that I learned what a computer was and how to develop software.One day my husband saw a newspaper advertisement. The MIT Instrumentation Laboratory was looking for people to develop software to：man to the moon . Deep ly attracted both by the

35、idea and the fact that it had never been done before,I became the first programmer to join and the first woman the lab hired.At the beginning, nobody thought software was such a big deal. But then they began to realize how much they were relying on it. Our software needed to be very reliable and abl

36、e to detect an error and recover from it at any time during the mission.My daughter, Lauren, liked to intimate me playing astronaut. One day, she was with me when I was doing a simulation （模拟）of a mission to the moon. She started hitting keys and all of a sudden, she selected a program which was sup

37、posed to be run before launch. The computer had so little space that it wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon. I thought: my God this could happen by accident in a real mission. I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight. But the higher-ups at

38、 MIT and NASA said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake.On the very next mission , Apollo 8, one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done. The Lauren bug! It created destruction and required the mission to be rearranged. After that, they let me

39、put the program change in. It was the program change that had a crucial influence on the success of the mission of Apollo 11.During the early days of Apollo, software was not taken as seriously as other engineering disciplines （ 学科）.It was out of desperation I came up with the term software engineer

40、ing ” . Then one day in a meeting, one of the most respected hardware experts explained to everyone that he agreed with me that the process of building software should also be considered an engineering discipline, just like with hardware. It was a memorable moment.54. What do we know about the autho

43、ning is half done.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Chances favor the prepared mind.CFrom linguists point of view, grammar is a set of patterns for how words are put together to form phrases or clauses, whether in spoken or written. Different languages have different patterns. Some scholars have t

44、ried to identify patterns common to all languages. But apart from some basic features, few of these so-called linguistic universals have been found.The study of these patterns open up “anongoing debate between two positions, known as prescriptivism and descriptivism. Prescriptivism thinks a given la

45、nguage should follow consistent rules, while descriptivism sees variation and adaptation as a natural and necessary part of language. From much of history, the vast majority of language was spoken. But as people became more interconnected, writing gained importance. Written language was standardized

46、 to allow broader communication and ensure that people in different parts around could understand each other.Language purists worked to establish and promote this standard by detailing a set of rules that reflected the established grammar of their times.And rules for written grammar were applied to

47、spoken language as well. Speech patterns that deviated from the written rules were considered signs of low social status. And many people who are grown-ups speaking in these ways were forced to adopt the standardized form.More recently, however, linguists have understood that speech is a separate ph

48、enomenon from writing with its own regularities and patterns. Most of us learn to speak at such an ear ly age that we don t even remember it. We form our spoken skills through unconscious habits, not memorized rules. And because speech also uses mood and intonation for meaning, its structure is ofte

49、n more flexible, adapting to the needs of speakers and listeners. This could15mean avoiding complex clauses that are hard to understand in real time, making changes to avoid awkward pronunciation or removing sounds to make speech faster. This linguistic approach that tries to understand and map such

50、 differences without dictating correct ones is known as descriptivism. Rather than deciding how language should be used, it describes how people actually use it and tracks the innovation they come up with in the process.But while the debate between prescriptivism and descriptivism continues, the two

51、 are not mutually exclusive. At its best, prescriptivism is useful for informing people about the most common established patterns at a given point in time. Ultimately, grammar is best considered as a set of linguistic habits that are constantly being negotiated and reinvented by the entire group of

52、 language users. Like language itself, it as wonderful and complex fabric woven through the contributions of speakers and listeners, writers and readers, prescriptivists and descriptivists from both near and far.58. The underlined word deviated in Paragraph 3 probably means .A. copiedB. updatedC. di

53、fferedD. originated59. According to the passage, precriptivism.A. focuses on established language patternsB. accepts the differences between languagesC. follows the innovations in language patternsD. attaches more importance to written language60. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. A new understand

54、ing of language.B. The beliefs held by prescriptivists.C. The impact of grammar on language.D. The ongoing debate between linguists.61. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The importance of GrammarB. The History of GrammarC. Grammar: Rules or HabitsD. Grammar: Writing R

55、ulesDIf you look across the entire lifespan, what you see is an average increase in desirable personality traits （特,点）.Psychologists call this the maturity principle “ and it s comforting to know that, assuming your personality follows a typical course, then the older you get, the maturer you will b

56、ecome. However, it not such good news for young adolescents, because at this point, something known as the disruptionhypothesis kicks in.Consider a study of Dutch teenagers who completed personality tests each year for six or seven years from 2005. The boys showed a temporary dip in conscientiousnes

57、s orderliness and self-discilpline in early adolescence,and the girls showed a temporary increase in neuroticism emotional instability. This seems to back up some of the stereotypes we have of messy teen bedrooms and mood swings. Thankfully, this decline in personality is short- lived, with the Dutch data showing that the teenagers previous positivetraits rebound （反弹）in later adolescence.Both parents and their teenage children agree that changes occur, but surprisingly, the perceived change can depend on who
