On Oct. 12, 1989, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for the information 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). Obviously all these computers had been infected (传染) 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. This kind of computer viruses is named Jerusalem (耶路撒冷) 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 US. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem. The most serious damage caused by the viruses is that ().
A. the computer’s functions are lowered
B. the normal programs are damaged
C. the computers infected by the viruses can no longer be used
D. all the information stored in the computers is gone
Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses (凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is normally invisible. On a very damp of humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle (水坑) or pond in a mist (薄雾) above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animal drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail (冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist (潮湿) in the tropics (热带) than in the cold polar regions. Whether water vapor can be seen or not depends on().
A. how much water is evaporated
B. how good your eyes are
C. in which way water is evaporated
D. climate or weather
Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men and women For many children it means starting school work very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development, and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. can all be very expensive.Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training. The phrase "to take a second place" means().
A. to repeat the activities some other day
B. to become less important
C. all things considered, they are of inferior (差的) quality
D. to happen again
