单选题You"re standing in the kitchen and a voice says, "Add a little more salt to that soup." Yes, it"s always nice to have someone help you when you"re cooking. But this voice is not from a man. You are alone! Then where does it come from? Is it from a ghost? No, this is not a ghost kitchen—it"s the kitchen of the future.
Scientists are working to improve everything in the kitchen, from fridges to tables, and even the way we cook. They are making a system. It will help a person cook a meal. You don not need cookbooks. You can hear how to cook food.
The fridge of the smart kitchen has a scanner. It looks at the foods in the fridge. It will order more milk from the store when your milk has gone bad or there is no more in the fridge. The gloves will test the temperature of everything they touch and say, "Need to cook longer" or "Hot and ready to eat". If you leave them on the stove by mistake, you"ll hear they say, "Fire!" Even the knives and spoons will speak. For example, if your food is bad, the knives and spoons will tell you not to eat it.
The future may look wonderful, but it"s not cheap. The multimedia fridge costs about 8,000 dollars. So even though high-tech kitchens are no longer a dream, not everyone can afford it.
单选题 People often show their feelings by the body
positions they adopt. These can contradict (同…矛盾) what you are saying,
especially when you are trying to disguise the way you feel. For example, a very
common defensive position, assumed when people feel threatened in some way, is
to put your arm or arms across your body. This is a way of shielding yourself
from a threatening situation. This shielding action can be disguised as
adjusting one's coif (束发帽) or watch strap. Leaning back in your chair especially
with your arms folded is not only defensive, it's also a way of showing your
disapproval, of a need to distance yourself from the rest of the
company. A position which betrays (显示) an aggressive attitude
is to avoid looking directly at the person you are speaking to. On the other
hand, approval and desire to cooperate are shown by copying the position of the
person you are speaking to. This shows that you agree or are willing to agree
with someone. The position of one's feet also often shows the direction of
people's thoughts. For example, feet or a foot pointing towards the door can
indicate that a person wishes to leave the room. The direction in which your
foot points can also show which of the people in the room you feel most
sympathetic towards, even when you are not speaking directly to that
person.

单选题Christmas Eve arrives at my house each year. The center of the celebration (庆祝) is dinner. My mother spends days preparing a rich variety of seafood. The guest list seldom changes. It is made up of my Aunt Marcy and her husband, my oldest brother, Sal, his wife, and their four children, my sister, Joann, her husband, and their two children, and my second brother, Richard, his wife, and their two children.
My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and gang usually show up an hour early and empty-handed. Joann"s family is usually late while Richard"s group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of getting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolfed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation.
Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all the supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least thirty minutes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found.
Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, to me, is a quiet time, a time to think deeply. The over-crowdedness and noise ruin my feelings about Christmas.

单选题How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that — men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations — the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

单选题On Oct. 12, 1989, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for the in- formation they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computer's screens. At the same moment the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening, they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses (病毒). All these computers had been infected by computer viruses. It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all have excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the functions, damaging normal programs or even getting rid of all the information. We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U. S.. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.

单选题She once said," When people ask me whether writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying: The end is nothing; the road is all. That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the type-writer with the thought that one more task had to be done." Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her. but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the great plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers. "It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold. 'A great many people find it very dull: they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall, the country all made to look like a German Christmas card... But when I come to the open plains, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently./
