On May 21, 1999, some American scientists were working at the computers to look for information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright red spots crossing the computers' screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses. Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.

It's said that the computer viruses were made by two or three Philippine young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. The kind of computer viruses is named "I Love You" virus. This virus can hide in computers for long. When the time comes it will attack the computers by lowering the important functions, damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of a great deal of information which operators of the computers often use or store, what's worse, it still can reproduce itself in great quantities within a short time.

We come to know that "I Love You" virus often attacks computers on Mondays and that it is spreading to many computers in the world. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S.. Those who made the computer viruses have been found out slowly and carefully. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.

56. When the viruses attack the computers, the computers will work_______.

A. normally B. abnormally C. faster D. well

57. Two or three Philippine young men created the computer viruses to______.

A. damage the computers

B. test their ability

C. tell the world that they were intelligent

D. play a trick on operations of the computers

58. According to the passage, computer viruses seem to _____.

A. have been in nature for years

B. exit in any computers

C. be able to be got rid of in the near future

D. be difficult to get rid of at present

59. The most serious damage caused by the viruses is that_______.

A. the computer's functions are lowered

B. the normal programs are damaged

C. all the information stored in the computers is gone

D. the computers infected by the viruses can no longer be used

How do American babies get their names when they are born?

We’d better know the formation of American names before we answer this question. A native American may have his name in two or three parts. Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, had his name in two parts. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President, had his name in three parts. The first part is the given name, or the first name. The second part is the middle name or middle names, as Delano in Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The last part is the family name, surname or the last name, as Reagan in Ronald Reagan.

How does an American baby get his given name? Generally, when an American baby is born, the parents may pick up a name from a name book, or think of a name they like, and give it to the baby as the given name. Sometimes, the given name means something. If a girl baby’s given name is Alice, then she is hoped to be noble or cheerful, because Alice means noble and of good cheer. If the parents give their daughter Linda as the first name, then the parents hope their daughter to be pretty or beautiful, because it means that. If a boy’s given name is David, then he could be his parents’ beloved one, because David means a beloved person. But sometimes, the given name is just a given name, and it doesn’t mean anything. In another case, parents can give their baby the given name according to their hobby or desire.

Then how do American babies get their middle names? We must take people’s relationship into consideration when we answer this question. If the parents respect or hope to remember the grandparent, then they give their baby a middle name after the grandmother or grandfather. If the parents have a very close friend, they may pick their baby a middle name after their friend. Some parents name their baby after themselves.

Some even give the baby a middle name according to a famous person. So a baby may have one or two or even more middle names if the parents wish.

A baby gets his family name after his father’s family name. If the father’s family name is Smith, then the baby’s family name will be Smith, too.

60. The underlined phrase “in another case” means _______.

A. for another example B. on the contrary C. in addition D. in case

61 . From the name “Linda Smith” we know that _______.

A .It’s a girl

B. Her parents’ names are Smith.

C. Her parents want her to be pretty or beautiful

D. All the above

62. Which of the following sentences shows the main idea of this passage?

1. How do American babies get their names when they are born?
2. We’d better know the formation of American names.
3. Sometimes the given name doesn’t mean anything.
4. Parents give their baby the given name according to their hobby or desire.

63. Which of the following is true about American names?

A. Each American name has 3 parts: the first name, the middle name and the last name.

2. A baby’s given name is usually the same as his/her grandparent.
3. Parents may pick up a name for the baby after their friend has found one.
4. A baby may have 2 or 3 middle names.

There are some stock markets(股票市场) in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company. Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.

Of course, investing(投资) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or a company does a good job, the stock may still go down.

No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling(赌博). All are eager to make money by "gambling" in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are please that so many people are willing to "gamble". Indeed, the stock market is an attractive part of the business world.

64. If you are investor, you ______ in the stock market.
