10、entation Laboratory was looking for people to develop software to “send man to the moon”. Deeply attracted both by the idea and the fact that it had never been done before, I became the first programmer to join and the first woman the lab hired.At the beginning, nobody thought software was such a bi
11、g deal. But then they began to realize how much they were relying on it. Our software needed to be very reliable and able to detect an error and recover from it at any time during the mission.My daughter, Lauren, liked to imitate meplaying astronaut. One day, she was with me when I was doing a simul
12、ation (模拟) of a mission to the moon. She started hitting keys and all of a sudden, she selected a program which was supposed to be run before launch（发射）. The computer had so little space that it wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon. I thought: my Godthis could happen by accident in a rea
13、l mission. I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight. But the higher-ups at MIT and NASA said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake.On the very next mission, Apollo 8, one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what La
14、uren had done. The Lauren bug! It created destruction and required the mission to be rearranged. After that, they let me put the program change in. It was the program change that had a crucial influence on the success of the mission of Apollo 11.During the early days of Apollo, software was not take
15、n as seriously as other engineering disciplines(学科). It was out of desperation I came up with the term “software engineering”. Then one day in a meeting, one of the most respected hardware experts explained to everyone that he agreed with me that the process of building software should also be consi

19、k. But if you had been around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold, dry climates of the ice ages, but until now, no one has reached a satisfyin
20、g answer.Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon r
21、eact to future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 ?Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past. Unfortunately, getting
22、 into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. To study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen, kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物) which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery
23、. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样). So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice ag
24、e and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.8. How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change?A. Itll get drier and continue to remove CO2.B. There is no exact answer up to present.C. Itll get warmer and then colder and dri
25、er.D. Itll remain steamy, warm, damp and thick.9. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Its important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information.B. Its impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.C. Its hard to collect information for studies of the pas
