I am a computer expert. I have been in the field for only a short time. I never learned much in the way of science or math. And I am quite puzzled by things like engineering or electronics.

    Then why am I able to write about computers? I can write on this subject because of these shortcomings. The last two years of learning have been a hard test for me. By hard work I have managed to learn enough to use computers fairly well, and to work with people who know a great deal more than I. Since I have learned all this at such personal cost, I would like to share my knowledge with others. More and more people want to know about computers, and want to know quickly.

    The best way to learn is to take a course. However, many people do not have the time for this. They will have to find some other way to get some basic information. I hope to be able to help them by writing about some of the things I have learned myself.

    I have a home computer on which I’ve learned in my own time. I have used it like a home study course. I have sat down with it day after day, night after night. I have forced it to give up some of its secrets. Now I can use it to do some of the work that I get paid for. And I can do this work in my own home, instead of in an office. Many people may soon be working in a computer at home, just as many now take in other people’s typing.

    Some things about computers are easier than you may fear. First computers are logical. Things that at first seem difficult will make sense to you after you learn the rules. Second, it is really not hard to learn enough to use today’s machines. You do not need to be a great brain. But you do have to learn to think in new ways. And you do have to keep a good bit of information in your head. Finally, there are many people around who are really enthusiastic (熱心的) about computer. These people are always happy to be of help.

1．The purpose of the passage is to convince readers that, by studying computers at home, people can become ________.

A．computer experts

B．writers about computers

C．computer scientists

D．skilled users of computers

2．According to the passage, a home computer can best be described as ________.

A．puzzling

B．secret

C．logical

D．difficult

3. You can conclude that the author thinks that if a person took a computer course, that person would learn ________.

A．very quickly

B．as much as the author’s co-workers

C．to think like a computer

D．about computers the easy way

4．According to the passage, a computer can be used to help you ________.

A．take special courses in science

B．take in other people’s typing

C．get other people’s secrets

D．do your work at home

 

答案：D;C;D;D
提示：

1.       通過(guò)在家里使用計(jì)算機(jī)你能成為，A計(jì)算機(jī)專家，B計(jì)算機(jī)作家，C計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)家，D計(jì)算機(jī)的熟練使用者，顯然是D

2.       最后一段第二句話中提到計(jì)算機(jī)是logical合乎邏輯的

3.       學(xué)習(xí)課程比自己自學(xué)顯然要容易

4.       這里沒有提到計(jì)算機(jī)對(duì)高級(jí)科技等方面的影響，主要強(qiáng)調(diào)如何幫助你在家工作

I found a website that has changed my life for the better. The website is wishuponahero.com and it is all about people helping others, not expecting anything in return.
I am a single mom with a son. My son’s 12th birthday was on October 29th, 2007. Knowing that I didn’t have money to buy him a birthday gift had broken my heart. So I decided to post a wish on wishuponahero.com for people to send my son birthday cards.
Many cards just started coming and my little son was very excited and this went on for about three weeks. The smile on his face and the sparkle (閃光) in his eyes brought me to tears.
Then, in the end of November, he started thinking about Christmas and he already knew that there would not be a tree for him because we didn’t have enough money. However, it didn’t matter to him. All he talked about was how much he wanted to make other children smile. So he decided that what he wanted to do was earn money to buy Christmas cards and send them to other children from poor families. My son went out daily and raked (耙) leaves and walked some dogs to make money. Not only did he buy cards, but he also made enough money to buy all the stamps and lollipops (棒棒糖) to be sent with the cards. He sent out about 100 cards. Doing this brought him that same smile and sparkle in his eyes as did the birthday cards that he received.
