32、axy(星系). The Milky Way has about thirty billion stars like our sun, and is one of about a hundred million galaxies in the universe.Because the space (空间)is so great, it is difficult to work out how far away a star is.

35、yearsD.months and yearsBC/BMrs. Keller had a big family. Her husband had a factory in the town. One of her sons was a lawyer and the other two were drivers. And her two daughters worked in the post office. The old woman stayed at home and could do all housework and wouldnt employ anybody.One evening
36、, the telephone rang while the old woman was preparing supper. She went to answer it. She was told that one of her sons died in a traffic accident. She heard this and fell in a faint(晕倒). When she came back to life, she was in hospital. And she needed to be helped after that.Several months later she
37、 was told on the telephone her daughter died while she was being operated on. The old woman was so sad that she had to be in hospital again. From then on she was afraid to answer any telephones and sometimes she was afraid to hear the bell. Of course it brought them some trouble and some important b

The man examined her carefully and then asked her some questions.“Youll soon be all right if you follow my advice, Mrs. Keller, “said the psychiatrist.The old woman took the medicine the doctor gave on time and tried t

42、lthD.The two pieces of bad newsBD/BWhat difference does it make if we read texts displayed on a computer screen instead of on paper printed with ink? The computer certainly does not guarantee deeper comprehension, greater subtlety of mind, or a wider range of imaginative reference. The mediation of
43、a computer, however, puts new powers at the disposal of intelligence. For one thing, the computer itself can do Usimple reading/Uas I have noted, it can “read“ an immense body of Uliterature/U in search of designated(指定的)words. As anyone knows who has ever spent days in libraries in search of errant
44、 information, simply identifying relevant sources absorbs inordinate amounts of time in research. The objection may be raised that a search of texts by computer may block the occasional(偶然发现的)discoveries that occur while browsing in the stacks of great libraries. No member of the academy need fear t

46、exes of the contents of books. Individual volumes, it is true, have indexes, often of inferior quality, but even the best indexes must be examined one at a time. The great advantage of the electronic library is that a computer could search and analyze its contents without proceeding volume by volume
