Not very long ago, the computer was a strange machine. Not many people understand it. Not many people said yes to it. Today, much of that is changing. The first computer system was introduced for use in business in the mid-1950s. since then, the number of computer systems used in business, governments, and industries has grown rapidly. In September, 2000, about 30,000,000 systems were in use in the United States. This figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.
The electric computer is an important part in our lives. Each year we use computer more and more to help us to collect data(数据)and to provide us with information. At one time, people thought computers were only useful for banks, department stores and governments but today the rapidly increasing number of computers are used for many other purposes.
Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected by a digital computer? The clothes you wear probably made with the help of a digital computer. Te newspaper, the radio and television programs are often edited and prepared by the digital computers.
Computers today are playing important roles in education, transportation and medicine . They are used to predict the weather, to examine the river or ocean and to develop defence systems. They are being used by business, governments and industries. There is no reason to think that their uses will decrease. Computers will become a greater part of our lives. The effect of the computer is very great.
The list of its uses could go on and on. Although the first computer was only introduced in the mid-1950s, computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.
64．From the text we can know before 1950s the computer was .
A．widely used B．no use at all
C．liked by people D．not understood by many people
65．Every year the number of computers being used has .

C．not changed D．increased slowly

A．don’t quite notice it B．don’t have known it clearly
C．don’t want to know about it D．don’t like it
67．Althought the first computer was only introduced in the mid-1950s, computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day. This means .
A．the writer did not like computers
B．the writer like computers
C．the writer thought computers have developed quickly
D．the writer thought we couldn’t live without computers

Insurance(保险)is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the shipowner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “the insured”and those who administer the pool of contributions as“insurers”.
Not all risks lead themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business and speculation cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be statistically estimated(评估)— and risks can only be insured against if they can be so estimated.
The legal basis of all insurance is the“policy”! This is a printed form of contract on paper of the best quality. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The wording of policies, particularly in marine insurance, often seems very old-fashioned, but there is a sound reason for this. Over a large number of years many law cases have been brought to clear up the meanings of doubtful phrases in policies. The law courts, in their judgments, have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning, avoid future disputes the phrases have continued to and to be used in policies even when they have passed out of normal use in speech.
68．According to this passage, insurance is possible because .
A．everyone at some time suffers loss
B．only a small proportion of the insured suffer loss
C．nearly everyone suffers loss
D．only insured people suffers loss
69．By“the pool of contributions”the writer means .
A．money paid by the insured B．money paid by the insurers
C．the cost of administering insurance D．the amount of each premium
70．Old-fashioned wording is sometimes used in insurance because .
A．insurance is old-fashioned
B．insurance has existed for a long time
C．it enables ordinary people to understand it
D．the meaning of such wording has been agreed upon

Burning Rubbish Is Harmful to People
A few days ago, I went to the railway station to see my friend off. On the way I saw streetcleaners burning garbage. I know they were trying to get rid of rubbish in a way they thought was“Taking a shortcut.” I don’t think, however, it’s proper to clear away rubbish by such a means.
Burning things does harm to people. It’s known to all that burning rubbish will give off poisonous smoke and dust which in turn pollute air. Many people contract cancer as a result of breathing the polluted air. Some of them even die of it.
There are many things in rubbish that can be rotten decomposed, such as dry leaves, leftover food, etc. They can make very good fertilizer. So it’s better to collect them for cropland.

I have been an airline stewardess for six years. I’m twenty-six years old, recently
got married. The majority of the airline stewardess are from small towns. I myself from Nebraska. It’s supposed to be one of the nicest professions for a woman——if she can’t be a model or in the movies. You can fly around the world, meeting all those people. It is pretty nice doing so.
I have five older sisters and they were all married before they were twenty. The moment they got out of high school, they would end up getting married, that was the thing everybody did. It was to get married. They were so happy that one of the girls could go out and see the world and spend some time being single. I didn’t get married until I was almost twenty-five. My mother especially thought it would be great that I could have the great chance to travel around the world.
