Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he
noticed a black bag. 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".

Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to
become "computer-literate." But not all experts (专家)
agree that this is a good idea.
One ploneer,in particular,who disagrees is David Tebbutt,the
founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful
attempt to bring people closer to the computer.David does not seeit
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 and computers?
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.

them.

A. being able to afford a computer

C. working with the computer and finding out its value
D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it
58. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers
to the idea that Computertowns ＿＿＿＿＿．

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her
fathet. "But. 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

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 not wearing 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 hour
Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mpb hit each other. an
unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving
headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

healthy if you're dead"?
A. He was driving at great speed.

make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their
children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is
very tight on the amount they can do. Thase under 13 are limited to 40
days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.
The schools themselves admit that not all children will be
successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what
happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they
place great importance on children getting good siudy results. the lacis
