25、   Computers can help us in many ways, but they cannot think or do things on their own. Humans have to feed them with information and tell them what   to do. They cannot come up with any new information, but they can save much time and work. For example, all the information and the office files (文件) can be stored in a computer’s “memory”.

The first computers were huge and expensive. They filled up almost the whole floor of large offices. Later, scientists found ways to produce cheaper and smaller computers. They invented chips (芯片) which made it possible to store more information in less space.

Today, computers are not only cheaper, but also more compact. They can just be placed on top of an ordinary writing table. They can even be carried from place to place easily. Computers are not only used in offices by companies, but are used at home by families who can afford them.

Robots are only moving parts controlled by computers. A robot can do the same work as a person for 24 hours without complaining or getting tired.

In Japan and some places in America, robots are used in factories to assemble (装配) cars. As computers become more and more common in businesses and factories, people fear that one day computers and computer-controlled robots will put human workers out of work.

【1】What were the first computers like?

A.Small and cheap B.Huge and expensive C.Small and expensive D.Huge but cheap

【2】The underlined phrase “more compact” can be replaced by “　　　”.

A.larger B.brighter C.smaller D.heavier

【5】The BEST title for this passage can be 　　　.

A.Computers and robots B.Old and new computers

C.Robots are our servants D.The electronic invention

26、“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking?

Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.

A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle (水壶盖) move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine (蒸汽机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.

James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring (钟表的主发条)? He soon found he could make it with whalebone (鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto (座右铭) was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.

Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t lose heart, and don’t ask someone for help before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.
