　　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 maths. And I am quite puzzled by things like engineering or electronics.

　　Then why am I able to write about computer? 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 them 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. Marry people may soon be working on a computer at home, just as many now take in other people's typing.

　　Some things about computers are easier than you may fear. Fist, 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 computers. These people are always happy to be of help.

1．The purpose of the passage is to tell readers that, by studying computers at Mme, 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 cause, he would learn ________.

[　　]

A．very quickly

B．a(chǎn)bout computers in the easy way

C．to think like a computer

D．a(chǎn)s much as the author's co-workers

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

[　　]

A．do your work at home

B．type on it

C．get other people's secret

D．take special courses in science

答案：D;C;B;A
解析：

　　1．D　導(dǎo)解：作者以自己為例告訴大家學(xué)電腦可以在家里學(xué)，而且很多人在家里用電腦上班，從文中判斷四個選項(xiàng)中D對．

　　2．C　導(dǎo)解：從作者的講述可知，他認(rèn)為電腦不會讓人困惑學(xué)不好，而是邏輯性強(qiáng)，只需掌握規(guī)律即可．

　　3．B　導(dǎo)解：作者說他在家自學(xué)電腦成了computer expert，但學(xué)得很苦，最好的方法還是上電腦課．

　　4．A　導(dǎo)解：作者說工程學(xué)、電子學(xué)讓他摸不著邊，他在家學(xué)習(xí)電腦，了解其奧妙，最后可以在家上班，不必到公司去．

　　Proverbs (諺語) are 勻quite common in spoken English. We do not normally use them in a composition or letter. But more often than not it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean.

　　Here are a few examples:

　　1)“Once bitten,twice shy.” If a dog bites me,I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it again. This proverb is also used to apply to (適用) many things. If you have been cheated at a shop,you will not go to the same shop again.

　　2)“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” if I am a hunter,trying to catch birds,it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush which I can't catch. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.

　　3)“Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup).” When too many people do something,they get in each other's way.

　　4)“To pour oil on troubled water”is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea,another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However,it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.

　　5)“Don't be a dog in a manger (槽)” means “Don't be selfish”. In a stable (馬廄),the manger is the place where the horse's food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food．The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.

　　6)“He is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence (籬笆) between two opposing sides,perhaps waiting to see which side will win.

　　7)“He who pays the piper calls the tune. ” A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan,he can say how it will be carried out.

　　8)“You can't get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. For example,you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.

(1)Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let his younger brother ride it. His mother was angry and said to him,“_______”

[　　]

A．You can't get blood out of a stone

B．Don't be a dog in a manger

D．Don't be a horse in the manger

(2)Mr and Mrs. Smith had a quarrel. Their friend,Mr. Brown,went to mediate (調(diào)解)in them. When he came back,he told his wife that he had been trying to help the Smiths by ________.

B．getting blood out of a stone

C．being a dog in a manger

D．not pouring oil on water

(3)Mr Wang paid for a new school. Some people did not like the design of the school but they did not argue with Mr. Wang because ________.

[　　]

A．he was sitting on the fence

B．once bitten,twice shy

C．he who pays the piper calls the tune

D．a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

(4)Mrs Chen wanted to buy a new dress. Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home. Mrs. Chen disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. Then she said,“I won't go there again because________.”

[　　]

A．a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

B．I am sitting on the fence

C．once bitten,twice shy

D．too many cooks spoil the soup

(5)Mr. Brown had quite a good job in Hong Kong but he thought if he went to Singapore he might get a much better job with more money and a large house. His wife did not want him to leave his job in Hong Kong and she reminded him that________.

[　　]

A．he who plays the piper calls the tune

B．too many cooks spoil the soup
