单选题Why not ______ your schoolbag before you go to school?

单选题No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhraps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all around him water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language. People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Before you leave school, you will learn only a few thousand of them.

单选题Sigmund Freud was a world-famous doctor of Vienna (维也纳). He was also a man full of humour (幽默). Once, at his 70th birthday party, a friend asked Freud if he could put his work into several words. "Well," said Freud, "we take the sick out of their trouble and return them to the common suffering." As a devoted son, Freud often visited his old mother. His mother usually spent her summers in a small mountain town in Austria (奥地利). The King Josef usually spent his summers there, too. One day in the summer, a band (乐队) was playing a lively tune (曲子) when Freud"s mother was sitting at the window and watching the people singing and dancing on Main Street. The old woman had a poor memory. She heard the band playing, but forgot it was the King"s birthday. Freud was visiting his mother on her 95th birthday. He told his mother, "Mama, the band is playing for your birthday." She believed him and had a wonderful day.

单选题Computer people talk lots about the need for other people to become "computer-literate". But not all experts (专家) think it a good idea. One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebburt, the founder of Computertown UK. Though 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 Tebburt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he thinks 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 want to go to Computertowns where there are computers for them to operate , with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they ask. 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 needn"t learn computer terms (术语). But the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming" people-literate".
