The bag contained a book. This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years age by Deborah Logan,“a woman who knew everybody in her day,“James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries. Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia ,It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington .D. C in the war of 1812.She describes President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear“during the troubled days.George Wash- ington,she writes,mistook her for the wife of a French man.and praised her excellent English The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from Eng- land to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先）to the Library Company,which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary. Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession“a bout five minutes“when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person.On returning to his hotel after showing the percious book to Green,Luxmoore waas shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi. Without any delay,Green began calling every taxi company in the city,with no luck,“I've felt sick since then,“Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green.no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .Tom Brennan received a reward(奖励)of 1,000,Philadelphia gained another treasure for its histo- ry,and Luxmoore told reporters,“It's wonderful news.I'm on high“.51.This article mainly tells about the story of A.a lost diary B.Deborah Logan C.Cory Luxmoore D.the Library Company 52.From the text,we learn that the diary is now owned by A.Tom Brennan B.an unknown person C.a Philadelphia magazine D.the Library Company of Philadelphia 53.Philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because.

Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer.David does not see it that way.He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason,to bring computers to people and make them“people-literate.“David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two,The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already.This frightens away non-experts,who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on.with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have,They are not told what to do.they find out.The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers.but have to be able to answer all questions people ask.People don't have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts have to expla in plain language. The computers are becoming “peoPle-literate.“56. Which of the following is David Tebbutt's ides on the relationship between people andcomputers?A.Computer learning should be made easier.B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.C.People should work harder to master computer use.D.Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.57.We can infer from the text that “computer-lilerate“ meansA. being able to afford a computerB.being able to write computer programsC. working with the computer and finding out its valueD. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it58. The underlined word “it“ in the second paragraph refers to the idea that ComputertownsA.help to set up more computer clubsB.bring people to learn to use computersC. bring more experts to work togetherD. help to sell computers to the public59. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose ofA. making better use of computer expertsB. improving computer programsC.increasing computer saiesD. popularising computersCWant to save money when travelling by train?

Dad. you can't be healthy if you're dead.“Ded.in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run. had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a mistake 75% of the US popuation make every day The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belts ever since heir first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth Number One:It's best to be “thrown clear“of a serious accident.Truth:Sorry, but any accident serious enongh to “throw you clear“is alsogoing to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled througb a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that cbances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.“Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap“ people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again. but stndies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to notwearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous sinuaions. not to be trapped in them.Myth Nomber Three Safcty belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hourTruth: when two cars traveling at 30 mpb hit each other. an unbelted driver would meetthe windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.62why did Elizabeth say to her father. “But.
