Radio and television are very popular in the world today. Millions of people watch television. More people listen to the radio.
The TV is, of course, more useful than the radio. On TV you can see and hear what is happening. This is especially important with international events.
However, the radio is not disappearing. It is still with us. And the number of listeners becomes larger. One reason for this is the invention of the transistor(晶体管) set. A transistor is something very small. It is very easy to carry about. You put one in your pocket when you go to work. You can listen to news broadcasts or radio lessons on the bus. You can listen to them on your bike. You can put your own transistor set beside your pillow when you go to bed. You can take it down to the beach or riverside when you go to swim. Besides, radio broadcasts are better for blind people. And the sight of many old people is not good enough to watch television. Then when people are working, they can not watch television, but they can always listen to music (in the fields, for instance) on the radio. What’s more, a television set is rather expensive. Not every family can have one. But a transistor set is much cheaper.
However, more and more people are buying TV sets. While you sit comfortably before the TV set in your own living room, you not only hear but also see what is going on in many places in
the world.
63.In the world today, more people __________.
A. watch television
B. listen to the radio
C. go to the cinema
D. neither watch TV nor listen to the radio
64. With the development of TV, ___________.
A. the price of TV is going down
B. the people listening to the radio are becoming fewer and fewer
C. the radio is disappearing
D. the radio listeners are not becoming fewer and fewer
65. Which is the TV’s weak point?
A. It gives you not only sound but also pictures.
B. Blind people and old people with poor eyesight can’t watch TV.
C. TV’s price is rather high for many families, so not every family can have a TV set.
D. You can watch important international events on TV.
66.Which is the radio’s strong point?
A. It is not as expensive as a TV set.
B. It is small and light for listeners to take everywhere with it.
C. A radio listener can listen to the radio while working no matter how poor their eyesight is.
D. all of the above.
67.The best title for the passage should be_________.
A. Radio and Television

Computer programmer Mitenic has made $6,000,000 from March 18th until today, designing some kinds of computer softwares. Yet he can’t find a bank prepared to have him own a check card. Instead,he has been told to wait sixteen more months until he is 18.
Little Mitenic works for a small company in New York, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a part-time job. But he has been able to walk into the crazy society. He put three new softwares into the abroad markets in the last few months, and then he earned a great deal of money.
But now Mitenic told the reporter “I don’t know what to do with my money. It’s my biggest headache this year. And I hope the 2000 year is more important for me…”. Thanks to his inventing new softwares within quite a short period of time, he felt very happy but nervous. He can’t drive a car. He can’t get some money from a bank to buy a new house or get the credit cards(信用卡) of his own. He lives with his mother in their house in New York. His mother has to send him to work every day.
Mitenic got his work with the company a year after leaving school with poor progress and working for a time in a computer store. “I got this job for the people who ran the store knew I had already invented some difficult computer programs,” he said with a smile.
“I think $6,000,000 seems too much but in fact that’s not good enough. I expect it will come to more than this in 2001.” He spends some of his money on clothes and Mexico toys, and gives his mother $150 a week. But most of his spare time is used to work on the software research.
“Unluckily, the computer was not part of my studies at school,”he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines which my mother bought for six years. I knew what I wanted
to do and I wanted to be a new Bill Gates. Most people in this computer field are fairly young, anyway. I would like to make two billion before I am right thirty years old. You never know when the computer market might disappear.”
68. Why is Mitenic different from other young people of his age today?
A. He earns a greater deal of money.
B. He has a better part-time job.
C. He does not go out too much.
D. He lives at home with his mother.

C. he worked much harder than others
D. He had learnt to use the computer at school
71. He left school after making poor progress because ________ .
A. he did not enjoy school
B. he wanted to be a new Bill Gates but school can’t help him
C. he was afraid of getting too old to learn the computer at school
D. he wanted to earn a lot of money

A. He is very clever but naughty(调皮的) young man.

In every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace(起带头作用), while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon, everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.
There is something wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unsuitable. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are bringing danger to themselves. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher(屠夫).
Now, chances are that you have come across things like these more than once in your life;chances are that one time or another you probably did something you know to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee,the crowd does it.” Well, let them do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”
Develop your own standards(道德伦理标准) and your own judgement. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, have the courage to get out of it politely. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.
73.Which of the following is the best title(标题) for this passage?
A. Follow the Lead
B. Top Crowd
C. Being Yourself
D. Bright Red
74. The writer doesn’t think it good wearing red sweaters if _________ .
A. the crowd does it
B. you can’t afford the money
C. you don’t look good in red
D. the situation is not safe
75. According to the passage, people who follow the crowd _________ .
A. sometimes do things blindly without their own judgement
B. make mistakes blindly
C. are willing to put lives in danger
D. will in the end become pace-setters
