One day, when a writer for a newspaper tried to ask Marie about herself and her thoughts and her beliefs, she answered him, “In science we must be interested in things, not in persons.” Much of the real character and spirit of this unusual woman is found in these few words, which she was later often to repeat. One evening, at a big party, a friend asked her if she would like to see the King of Greece, who was also a guest. She answered in her simple manner, “I do not see the value of it.” Then, seeing that she had hurt the feeling of her friend, she quickly added, “But…but…of course, I shall do whatever you please, just as you please.” 56.

B Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet． If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet．” The first computer was made in 1946． It was very big but it worked slowly． Today computers are getting smaller and smaller． But they work faster and faster． What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today．” The Internet came a little later than computers． It is about twenty-five years later than computers． But now it can be found almost everywhere． We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends． Many students like the Internet very much． They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free． They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends． They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex (性別)． They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study． Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that． We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world． But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet． 61．The Internet can not be used for ____． A．studying B．shopping C．thinking D．playing 62．When the computer was invented, it was ____． A．large and worked quickly B．small and worked slowly C．large but worked slowly D．small but worked quickly 63．The Internet was born in about ____． A．1960 B．1970 C．1980 D．1985 64．Which of the following is true?

C It was in the morning. Port Richard, a boy of twelve, was standing at the foot of the stairway up to the Panama. He had left home early, against his father’s wishes, to see the ships at the port. Suddenly he saw a small fire at one end of the Panama. But there was nobody else around, and in no time, the fire grew dangerously big. Seeing this, the boy shouted at the top of his voice. His shout woke up the port workers living nearby, who were enjoying a Sunday morning in bed. The Panama was among the six ships in the port where there were lots of old buildings, shops and houses nearby. It was carrying oil, paint and paper from the Far East. The fire burned a great deal of paper, which was why it spread very quickly. The end of the ship was now black with smoke, but thanks to the boy, the fire didn’t reach the paint or oil. The boy was also lucky, for his father was pleased rather than angry with him. 66. The Panama was ____. A. a shipB. a shopC. a portD. a building 67. The boy was standing _____ when the fire happened. A. on the PanamaB. at the doorway to the ship C. near the Panama D. far from the port 68. The small fire soon became dangerously big because _____.

So , much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves . It is always more important to know how to study by oneself . It is quite easy to learn something in a language or a formula in maths , but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to a maths problem . Great inventors do not get everything from school but they can invent many things and change the world a lot . though Thomas Edison invented many things he didn’t have much school education . How do they do all these ? Because they know how to study . A lot of things are not taught in the classroom . They get knowledge from books outside school .

You asked me how to improve your listening skill. Here is some advice of mine which I hope may be useful for you。 First , listen as much as you can. The more you listen, the easier English will be. So form the habit of listening to English every day. But don’t listen too long each time. Half an hour a day is enough.. Choose something easy and interesting as listening materials. You can get some tapes in which English is spoken clearly and not too fast . Then you can move on to some more difficult tapes in normal speed. Finally, turn to China Radio International and BBC English programmes. They will help you a lot to improve your listening. Just keep on listening and you will find your way out. Wish you great success. Yours, Li Mei

You asked me how to improve your listening skill. Here is some advice of mine which I hope may be useful for you。 First , listen as much as you can. The more you listen, the easier English will be. So form the habit of listening to English every day. But don’t listen too long each time. Half an hour a day is enough.. Choose something easy and interesting as listening materials. You can get some tapes in which English is spoken clearly and not too fast . Then you can move on to some more difficult tapes in normal speed. Finally, turn to China Radio International and BBC English programmes. They will help you a lot to improve your listening. Just keep on listening and you will find your way out. Wish you great success. Yours, Li Mei
