In the early 1800s the world【23】to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life belier.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part【24】our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time【25】a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.

By this time most people had a very good life.' Of course new inventions continued to be made. Man began【28】ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a【29】though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet【30】.

When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as Murphy's Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even Offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm "thank you" from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. In that way, they don't have to carry heavy bags out to the car.
In America, customer service continues long after the sale. Many products come with a money-back guarantee, ff there is a problem with the product, customers can take it back. The customer service representative will often allow them to exchange the item or return it for a full refund.
From the passage we know in America the principle of customer service is ______.
A．to be fast and convenient
B．to make customer the center of attention
C．to be the first in the world
D．to make the customer feel at home
Following are some tips in helping to combat the growing threat of viral infection：
1． Use an automated virus-detection tool；
2． Regularly perform a backup of your data with a backup program；
3． Prevent unauthorized access to your computer by using a security access program；
4． Use writer-protected tabs on all program disks before installing any new software.If the software does not allow this,install it first,then apply the write-protected tabs；
5． Do not install software unless you know it has come from a reliable source.For in.stance,service technicians and sales representatives are cornmon carriers of viruses. Scan all demonstration or repair software before use；
6． Scan every floppy disk before use and check all files downloaded from a bulletin board or acquired from a modem；
7． Educate employees.As the adage goes,"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."；
8． Do not boot from any floppy disk,other than a clean,DOS-based disk；
9． Avoid sharing software and machines；
10． Store executable and other vital system parameters on a bootable DOS-based disk and regularly compare this information to the current state of your hard drive.
In the U. S., though, the practice bears a stigma of inbreeding just this side of incest. The taboo is not only social hut legislative; 24 states ban the marriage of first cousins: five others allow it only if the couple is unable to bear children. A major reason for this ban is the belief that kids of first cousins are tragically susceptible to serious congenital illnesses.
That view may have to change. A comprehensive study published recently in the Journal of Genetic Counseling indicates such children run an only slightly higher risk of significant genetic disorders like congenital heart defects — about two percentage points above the average 3% to 4%. Says the study’s lead author, Robin Bennett, president-elect of the National Society of Genetic Counselors, which funded the study: “Aside from a thorough medical family history, there is no need to offer any genetic testing on the basis of consanguinity alone”.
Publication of the study will do more than tweak public awareness; it will enlighten doctors who have urged cousin couples not to have children. “Just this week,” says Bennett, “I saw a 23-year-old woman who had had a tubal ligation because her parents were cousins and her doctor told her she shouldn’t have children.”
The American proscription against cousin marriages grew in the 19th century as wilderness settlers tried to distinguish themselves from the “savage” Indians, says Martin, author of the book Forbidden Relatives: The American Myth of Cousin Marriage. “The truth is that Europeans were marrying their cousins and Native Americans were not.”
And doesn’t God have stern words on the subject？ Christie Smith, 37, a Nevada writer, says she felt guilty when she fell in love with her first cousin’s son Mark. “I was trying so hard to convince myself not to have these feelings,” she recalls, “that I went to the Bible looking for confirmation that it was wrong. And what I found was the exact opposite: support for cousin marriages.” The patriarch Jacob married two of his first cousins, Rachel and Leah. Smith married Mark in 1999.
The medical ban is lifted; the social stain may take longer to disappear.
It is suggested in Paragraph 1 and 2 that the cousin marriage
A．resembles incest in nature.
B．puts cousin couples to shame.
C．always causes serious genetic disorders.
D．is a common phenomenon across the world.
By 1979, the total amount of debt, liabilities, and losses for state-controlled enterprises in the UK topped 3 billion annually. By selling off many of these companies, particularly those in the depressed industrial sector, the government decreased its debt burden and ceased pumping public funds into money losing enterprises. According to government spokesperson Alistair McBride, "Far from past practice of throwing good money after bad, the Queen's government this year expects to take in 34 billion from the proceeds of the sale". That, say some analysts, may only be the beginning. Privatization has not only been credited with rescuing whole industries but the nation's economy to boot.
Due to increased tax revenues from the newly privatized companies along with a rebound in the overall economy, economic forecasters predict that Britain will be able to repay nearly 12.5% of the net national debt within two years. That is good news indeed for the economy as a whole at a time when many sectors are desperate for any ray of sunshine. British Airways this week announced a 20% jump in overall ticket sales and profits over this quarter a year ago. British Gas announced its first profitable quarter in nine years. At Associated British Ports, a new labor contract was finalized, the first union contract signed at the port without a work stoppage in twelve years. Closer to home for most Britons, the nation's phone service, British Telecom, no longer puts new subscribers on a waiting list. Prior to privatization, new customers would sometimes have to wait months before phone service could be installed in their home. Now, according to a company press release, British Telecom is promising 24-hour turnaround for all new customers.
Part of this improved productivity has to do with new efforts to allow employees to hold a stake in the company's future. Companies now give their employees stock options that allow employees to share in the company's success (and profits). The response has been enthusiastic to say the least. At British Aerospace; 89% of those eligible to buy company shares did so. At British Telecom nearly 92% of eligible employees took part. Finally, at Associated British Ports, long synonymous with union disagreements, walkouts, and labor strife, almost 90% of employees now can call themselves owners of the company.
"When people have a personal stake in something", said Henry Dundee of Associated British Ports, "they think about it, they care about, they work to make it prosper". At the National Freight Consortium, itself no stranger to labor problems, the new employee-owners actually voted down an employee pay-increase and, pressured union representatives to relax demands for increased wages and expanded benefits. "Privatization was only the start", says one market analyst, "what we may have here is a new industrial revolution".
UK's experience in 1979 demonstrates that _____.
A．government control can be based on free market principles.
B．privatization is the only way out for UK's economic development.
C．state-owned enterprises can benefit a lot from privatization.
D．a major transformation in economic system is feasible.

Passage Three
An old Indian story says that the game of chess (国际象棋) was invented by Sissa Ben, Prime Minister of King Shirham. As soon as the invention was finished he gave it to the king, who was glad and asked him what he would like to have in return. To the king's surprise, what Sissa wanted seemed very little. "Your Majesty, "said the minister, kneeling before the king. "I want nothing but some wheat. Please put a grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard (棋盘), two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth.., and so on, doubling the number for each following square. Give me enough grains to cover the 64 squares of the chessboard."
"You don't ask for much, my honest servant. You might have asked for gold or money," said the king and then ordered a bag of wheat brought to the palace.
But when the counting began, with one grain for the first square, two for the second, four for the third, and so on, the bag was emptied before the 20th square. More bags were brought, but the number of grain needed for the following squares increased so rapidly that the king was not able to keep his promise even with all the crops in the whole India! In fact, he would have needed 8 466 744 073 709 511 615 grains, which would be as much as that they would produce in about 2000 years!
Now tile king found himself deep in debt to his minister. He had either to face the terrible trouble all his life or to cut off Sissa's head, the litter of which, it is said was what he finally chose.
41. This story tells us ______.
A. how cruel the king was
B. how clever the minister was
C. Sissa was a famous mathematician
D. how the game of chess came into being
