33、er virus (病毒) is a software (软件，计算方法) program that attaches itself to another program in computer memory or on a disk, and spreads from one program to another.

34、o "awake". In today's industry, scanning (扫描) is a necessity (需要，必然，必需品). Computer viruses no longer attack your computing environment (环境，周围状况) only, but all other computing environments which you contact. Computer viruses can attach themselves to the files being used and later spread

38、ectric system (系统，制度) that both heats and cools. In summer, a heat pump is a conventional (普通的，习惯的) air conditioner which removes heat from a building. In winter, the system reverses itself to use the natural heat that is always present in outdoor air. By taking advantage of the free heat, a heat pu

39、mp is more economical (节约的) to operate in winter than a system using electric resistance (阻力，抵抗，电阻) heat. Electric resistance heat uses electricity as a raw (生的，天然的) material to create (创造，产生) heat where no heat existed before. Heat pump, on the other hand, uses electricity to move existing heat fro

40、m where it already exists naturally (outdoors) to where it is wanted (indoors (在室内).Heat energy will naturally flow from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser (较少的，次要的) concentration. That is what happens when hot food grows cool. The heat from the food flows into the air in the room unt

41、il the food stabilizes at room temperature. Blowing air over substance (物质，本质，主要部分) will speed up the process (过程，工序，诉讼，加工), which is why a winter day will seem cold when there is a strong wind than when the air is still.A heat pump uses this heat transfer (转移，转让，改乘) process to move heat which is al

42、ways in the air. The outdoor coil (线圈，卷) is made colder than the outdoors air. A fan blows outdoor air across the coil where heat is absorbed by the refrigerant (冷却剂). The refrigerant is then compressed and moved to the indoor coil and the heat is distributed in the building.During the summer, a hea

43、t pump reverses this process. The indoor coil is made cooler than the indoor air, and so room heat flows into the refrigerant which is compressed and moved to the outdoor coil. The outdoor coil, which is hotter than the outdoor air, will lose heat energy. 60.A heat pump is used .to cook to heat to c

46、the sitting room. "What have you done with it?" he asked his wife. She said she hadn't seen it, and told him it was probably under his nose, if he'd only open his eyes and look.He went into their son's bedroom to read him his bedtime story (故事，新闻报道). On the floor there lay a bo

47、ttle, the one he'd been looking for; but it was empty. "David, what have you done with those sweet tablets (药片) which were in that bottle? Did you eat them?" David nodded. "How many did you eat?" No reply. He called his wife. She came, realized what had happened and went very

48、 white. "There must have been twenty five or thirty tablets left in the bottle. He can't have taken them all." But there were no tablets on the floor, or in David's bed.David and his mother and father hurried to the nearest hospital. "Put the boy on the stomach pump (胃唧筒) at o

49、nce," said the doctor, as soon as he heard the facts. They could hear David crying as they sat in the waiting room; that was the worst of it, for they were wondering if the child was going to be all right, but unable (不能的，无能为力的) to do anything except wait. Then the crying stopped and the doctor

50、 came back. "Lucky you brought him quickly. The tablets don't have time to dissolve (溶化) in his stomach, so we got them all out. He's going to be all right." They took David home, and bought a medicine box with a lock on it the next day. 64.The medicine bottle was .found under Davi

55、emory will stay in your mind and you refuse to accept new ideas about it. If you find what you have remembered wrong, it is even more difficult to forget.

For instance (例子), sometimes when you are doing mathematics, you jus
