Remember the following tips when you use a computer.　　Keep your computer in a cool, dry room. Too much or too little heat is bad for computers. Damp(潮湿) is also bad for them. Most computers work best at a temperature of 5-10 degrees centigrade(摄氏度).　　Do not let people smoke cigarettes near your computer. Smoke of all kinds is very bad for many parts of the computer and can cause many problems.　　Do not eat or drink when you are near your computer. Pieces of food or drops of water on thekeyboard can also cause many problems.　　Make sure that the keyboard and the screen are the correct height for you. If they are not correct, you will get backache.　　Make sure the screen is the correct distance from your eyes. If you wear glasses, make sure these glasses are correct for using with the computer. Some people use a different pair of glasses when they use a computer.　　Keep your screen clean and do not have it too bright. A dirty screen can hurt your eyes. A very bright screen can also be bad for your eyes. If you can afford one, buy a computer screen. It will be better for you than using the screen of a TV set.　　Never use any software(软件) that you don't know whether they are clean or not. You must be careful because some software can bring viruses(病毒) into the computer. If your computer has viruses, it can't work or even breaks down.根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。(
) 36. According to this passage, most young people can control computers well while paying little attention to the keeping of them.(
) 37. Putting the keyboard and the screen too high means you don't have to look at your manuscript(手稿) while typing.(
) 38. Some people use a different pair of glasses when they use a computer because they want to protect their eyes.(
) 39. It's better to use a TV set screen instead of a computer one because a TV set is usually larger than a computer one.(
) 40."Clean software"means the software without any viruses.( C )　　The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院) knew little about her. The street where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else-to be independent(独立). At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began to work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong Competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.　　Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. "My English just wasn't good enough," she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.　　Mary studied management(管理) at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she has spent a lot of time on photography(摄影). She has held several exhibitions(展览) of her works in many places-China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.　　The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey has not finished yet.(

The rocks, soil and sky of it are a little red or pink. Its name was given by the Romans in honor of their god of war.　　People on the earth need oxygen to breathe. There is almost no oxygen on Mars. Living on Mars would be like living on a very high mountain. There would be little air. It might be 50 degrees above zero at noon and 100 degrees below zero at night. We know that Mars has carbon. Through a telescope, Mars looks red. In some places, it seems gray. At times the gray turns gray-green, then brown, then gray again. The gray-green may be a kind of plant color which changes with the seasons.　　Life is expected on Mars by scientists, because there are distinct seasons on the planet's surface. This condition might support plants. However, some researches find if Mars had life, it must have been a long time ago. For Mars' first 600 millions years, it had plenty of water and proper temperatures for life. But now the planet's environment has changed. Mars is not a pleasant place for any form of life.根据要求完成下列各题。46. 根据解释，在短文中找出相应的单词或短语。______: famous______: sometimes47. Its name was given by the Romans in honor of their god of war.

Pollution was very serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. The traffic was not convenient, so few visitors came here.　　Now great changes have taken place in my hometown. The environment has become more beautiful. The mountains have turned greener. The rivers are clearer and the sky is bluer. There are trees, flowers and grass everywhere. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to visit our city.　　I'm sure my hometown will become better and better in the future.}
