So the government found a very clever way to try and drive them off the roads.Back in 1861, a previous government had passed a law about the heavy steam vehicles which

9、were beginning to crawl about the roads of Britain. This law said that no vehicle should go more than 10 miles an hour in the country and 5 miles an hour in town. Four years later these speed limits were reduced to 4 and 2 m.p.h. and a man with a red flag had to walk in front to warn people of the d

10、anger.This law applied to(适用于) ordinary cars, too, and the police started to arrest drivers who broke the speed limit and didnt have a man with a red flag. Of course, it made the idea of motor cars seem quite ridiculous. But this stupid law was stopped in 1878 and the speed limit was raised to the f

11、rightening speed of 14 m.p.h. in 1896. A special race was held from London to Brighton to celebrate this victory for the motor car industry. The London-Brighton Veteran Car Run is still held every November to mark this event. Only cars made before 1905 may take part. In the first rally there were no

12、 more than 33 entrants, and only 22 of them finished the course. Nowadays, so many old cars apply to go on the run that the organizers have had to restrict the entry.Early motorists had to carry their own spare parts and do their own repairs. If they had a real breakdown, the only chance of getting

13、anywhere was to borrow a horse and hitch it to the front of the car!1 What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?A. The heavy steam vehicles appeared as early as 1861.B.

15、re in 1865.B、 Motor cars were not popular when they first appearedC、 The stupid law was stopped in 1878 and a special race was held to celebrate itD、 The London-Brighton Veteran Car Run has become more popular. 4 If the car had a very serious mechanical problem on the road, most probably the early m

16、otorists would _.A. abandon their carsB. find some friends to helpC. repair the car with spare partsD. use an animal to finish their journeyBCan you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car? Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons. Learning

17、 about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful. Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more

18、 with less effort. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed-the computer. It extends the capabilities of our minds. Computers have saved

19、 organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The computer may multiply what we can do, and the return on investment is high. The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand,

20、 the computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy (侵犯隐私),fraud (欺诈), and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples. The computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and

21、our society in general. How it is used is not a function of technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology. The choice is yours, and only through knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many, many benefit

22、s of the computer age.5. The writer thinks learning about computers is like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car because_.

A. computers B. computer producers C. computer learners D. computer programmersCMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the

25、 wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relatio

26、nship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather

27、than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know the

28、ir ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German

29、cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these

30、values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.9.
