| Critics say Microsoft Windows 95 must be able to do what the company has said or sales will fall sharply. This could mean the public would reject future Microsoft products. The public would lose trust in the company. Some people say this will not happen. They say Microsoft sent out several thousand copies of their new product to computer experts to test several months before it was released. Problems that these testers found were immediately corrected. Microsoft representatives are working to solve all the other problems buyers find when they try the new system. Computer industry experts say that if there are no major problems Microsoft can expect to earn about 7 thousand million dollars from Windows 95 in the first two years. The experts say this could be just a beginning for Microsoft and the whole computer industry. The experts say Windows 95 can help the user do many different and difficult tasks. They say this means the sale of more powerful computers and other computer products will increase as people learn about the new Microsoft product. Other companies say Windows 95 is not a big improvement. The Apple Computer Company says its Mackintosh Operating System has been able to do many of the same things since 1989.

| "A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right," says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing."If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead writer indeed," she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快), Mollie is indeed an entertainer."I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language," she says. "This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said 'Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you'll be a writer.' So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer." This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses."I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back," she said."Never.""When I set one of my books in Scotland," she said,"I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us." |
| 1. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book? |
| A. It should not aim at a narrow audience. B. It should be attractive to young readers. C. It should be based on original ideas. D. It should not include too much conversation. |
| 2. In Mollie Hunter's opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer? |
| A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills. C. The weakness of description. D. The absence of a story. |
| 3. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child? |
| A. She didn't expect to become a writer. B. She didn't enjoy writing stories. C. She didn't have any particular ambitions. D. She didn't respect her teacher's views. |
| 4. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are _____. |
| A. more intelligent B. better informed C. less eager to learn D. less interested in reality |
| 5. What's the writer's purpose in this text? |
| A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books. B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books. C. To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience. D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers. |

| There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings. Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works. A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer. Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum. |
