　　It cam as something of a surprise when Diana， Princess of Wales， made a trip to Angola in 1997， to support the Red Cross campaign for a total ban on anti－personnel landmines (地雷)．Within hours of arriving in Angola， television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims (受害者) injured in accidents caused by landmines．“I knew the huge numbers，” she said．“But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me ； like when I met Sandra， a 13－year－old girl who had lost her leg， and people like her．” The Princess concluded with a simple message：“We must stop landmines”．And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message．

　　But， back in London， her views wee not shared by some members of the British government， which refused to support a ban on these weapons．Angry politicians started an attack on the Princess in the press ，They described her as “very ill－informed”．The Princess responded by brushing aside the eroticisms：“This is a prevention we do not need．All I’m trying to do is to help．” Opposition parties， the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess．To make matters worse for the government， it soon appeared that the Princess trip bad been approved by the Foreign Office， and that she was in fact very well－informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding laundries．the result was a sever blow on the government．

Working AT home is increasing in popularity as a means of escaping from nine-to-five office life. Why work under the constant watch of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your carpet slippers? Armed with all the office essentials—telephone, computer, e-mail and fax, many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues in the office. Being able to work wherever you like: from a busy city to a beautiful village, and make working from home an attractive choice, you can even work on a canal boat, like one Internet firm in the Midlands, US.

       So what will become of the office of tomorrow? I believe it is likely that many could disappear into cyberspace. To minimize office overheads in inner-city areas, companies will apply a workforce made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system. A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees the activity of each employee.

As a successor to the Web Cam, a video screen would be created, as the need for more natural form of interaction than e-mail or telephone becomes greater. Capturing the mood and expressions of work colleagues, managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen. Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively. As the company's life blood, the computer would contain a record of all conversations and correspondence for future reference, and hold confidential information such as accounts in password protected areas. In the office of tomorrow, with daily life captured in detail, the case for firing employees could be more clear cut.

6．The first paragraph mainly focuses on _________.

       A. the office to working at home                       B. preference to working at home

       C. working effectively in the office                    D. one Internet firm in the Midlands, UK

7．The office of the future will be ________.

       A. in space                                                      B. a network

C. in inner-city areas                                        D. a central processing computer

8．In Paragraph 2, the word “ oversee” probably means “_________”.

       A. overlook                  B. organize                   C. make out                  D. watch over

9．A video screen would be built because _________.

       A. the Web Cam needs it                                          B. it is useful to fellow workers

       C. e-mail or telephone is out of date                   D. managers can clearly spot employees

10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

       A. You can get accounts without password.

       B. Computers would record workers’ blood types.

       C. You can get informationg of your fellow workers easily.

       D. Firing employees in the office of tomorrow could be largely reduced.

Norah had a cottage on a cliff（懸崖）above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
This went on for several years. Norah didn’t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”
“What’s that?” asked Norah.
“Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But…”

Parents in three Midwestern states will soon know just how good or bad their kids' driving is when their children take the car for a spin (疾駛).

Starting today, American Family Insurance is offering customers with teen drivers free cameras that record what happens when a sudden change in the car's movement occurs.

The cameras record the action inside and in front of the car in 20 - second audio - video clips (剪輯). The clips are then transmitted to Drive Cam, a San Diego company that analyzes the clips for risky behavior.

Among things the analysts look for is the response time of the drivers and if they are paying attention to the road. Parents can receive a report on their kids' driving and view the clips on a home computer.

Car accidents are the leading cause of death among U. S. teens, according to the NHTSA

(National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

"There will be fewer accidents," Rick Fetherston, vice president at American Family said of the new system. American Family will test the system out by offering it for free for one year to 30.000 families in Wisconsin, Indiana and Minnesota to see whether the system results in fewer accidents. If the system is proven to prevent accidents, customers who volunteer to use it might see their insurance premiums (保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)) drop. The company would not be viewing the videos or individual score cars, unless there is an accident.

Bruce Moeller, president of Drive Cam, says his company's system is already being used by companies with lots of cars. "Some of our customers are reporting a 30% to 90% reduction in their risky driver events," Moeller says.

But a lawyer in Minneapolis says. "If I felt I needed a camera in the car to watch over my kids, I shouldn't be letting them drive."

American Family tested the system in two high schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Megan Ireland, 17, said the camera caught her stopping too late and taking turns too fast. The student at Prior Lake High School in Savage, Minn., said she didn't like it because she felt it invaded her privacy (侵犯隱私) but has warmed up to the system. "Now I don't really have a problem with it because it's made me a better driver," she says. "For real."

69.The camera is being offered to________by________free of charge now.

A.teen drivers; a company called Drive Cam

B.insurance companies; a San Diego company

C.families with teen drivers; an insurance company

D.American Family Insurance; the NHTSA

70.The camera is used to________.

A.record what the teen driver does while driving

B.prevent the teen drivers from speeding

C.reduce the insurance premiums

D.provide videos and score cards for the police

71.Which of the following states is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Drive Cam will analyze the clips to find if the driver drives riskily.

B.All the students in Minnesota and Wisconsin don't like the system.

C.The insurance company will never look at the clips or score cards of the customers.

D.If the system can reduce the number of accidents, the fees for insurance will be reduced.

72.The best title for this passage might be________.

A.Teens, drive carefully     B.A free camera for kids

C.Cameras invade Privacy     D.Cameras keep watch on teen driving
