17、a label (标签) we stick on men and women who marry into families where children already exist. At least thats how I used to 36 about being a step-mother to my husbands four children.

27、 husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard who worked for a business company, was eager to work
28、 for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldnt match the big chains dollar for dollar.” says Mary. One figure caught her attention. Shed read somewh
29、ere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries (推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Caf near their home. With three children in college, the couple could
30、not spend all the familys money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop
31、 had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales cler
32、ks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”56. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that _.A. they had
33、to put their plan into practiceB. health was more important than wealthC. heart trouble was a serious illnessD. they both needed to stop working57. After Mary got well from her illness they began _.A. to study industrial managementB. to buy and read more mystery booksC. to do market research on book
34、 businessD. to work harder to save money for the bookstore58. How did their bookstore do in the first year?A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.B. They made just enough to cover all the costs.C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.D. They failed though they worked hard.59. According to
35、Richard, the main purpose of running the book store is _.A. to pay for their childrens educationB. to get to know more writersC. to set up more bookstoresD. to do what they like to doBIn 1954 a turning point in medical history, resulting from applied bionics（仿生学）; was the first “open heart” surgery
36、done in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Dr. C. W. Lilleheis techniques for the first time, which allowed the patient to be operated on while blood was supplied to the patient from a donor (捐献人). Today “open heart” surgery, using more complicated methods and bionic devices, is common in the United States.
37、Important technological advances such as those already mentioned have encouraged scientists to develop the artificial heart. Early in 1983, in its first use by a human patient, a medical team at the University of Utah Medical Center replaced the diseased heart by a Jarvik-7.The world watched amazed
38、as television pictures of Dr. Clark showed him as he improved steadily after the surgery. His continued life demonstrated, that a bionic device could imitate the action and function of a healthy heart. Dr. Clark lived for 112 days.Life-like or bionic machines have existed for several centuries. The
39、development of tools by mans ancestors is a good example of the application of bionics to extend human capabilities. Modern bionic research is especially involved in prosthetics（修复术） devices that substitute （代用） for, or replace lost or diseased body parts such as arms, legs, and eyes.Recent advances
40、 in electronics have enabled scientists to make better use of electrical impulses（驱动力） in the control of prosthetic devices. One interesting research project is the development of an artificial eye in which video signals are transformed into light patterns that are sent into nerve receptors in the p
41、atient.The future for applied bionics seems to be promising. Existing bionic devices will become smaller, faster, and more effective. The artificial heart used for Dr. Clark is only one of experimental replacement devices. It is likely to be joined in the future by replacements for other internal（体内
42、的）systems or organs.Bionic livers, stomachs, and lungs are not impossibilities!60. Which of the following does this passage mainly discuss?A. The application of bionics.B. The first “open heart” surgery.C. The development of the artificial heart.D. The future of applied bionics.61. According to the
43、passage, it was Dr. C. W. Lillehei that _.A. first developed applied bionicsB. was the first to operate on the heart of a patientC. developed the artificial heartD. used more complicated methods to do “open heart” surgery62. By “Dr. Clark lived for 112 days”, the author most probably means that _.A.
44、 the replacement of Dr. Clarks heart was a failureB. there was still a long way to go in applied bionicsC. applied bionics was promisingD. the first artificial heart was most effective63. The control of artificial devices is improving because _.A. video signals can be transformed into light patterns
45、B. bionic machines have existed for centuriesC. artificial devices such as arms, legs and eyes require better control than bionic machinesD. science has made great advances in electronicsCDog Translation Products Coming to U.S. A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget（小器具）that
46、 translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadget-under the name of Bowlingual -in U.S. pet stores and gift shops this summer. Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300,000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is
47、 forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan. “We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we dont think they will mind spending $120 on t
48、his product,” the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta. Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to
49、a small console（控制台）that is connected to a database（数据库）. The console divides each bark into six emotional typeshappiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desireand shows common phrases, such as “Youre ticking me off, ” that fit the dogs emotional state. Takara says it has spent millions
50、of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists. One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dogs world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. “They are too unpr
51、edictable （反复无常）,” the marketing manager said. 64. This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual _. A. was invented in Japan B. has developed quickly C. will be sold in America D. sells well for its price 65. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to _. A. markets B. productsC. plans
52、 D. cats66. When was this passage most probably published? A. In the winter of 2002. B. In the spring of 2003. C. In the summer of 2002. D. In the autumn of 2003. 67.

64、 was - 20 or 30 years ago - when Mom and kids would go to a studio and sit, and the idealized result would be framed and given to Dad, who would take it to the office and display it for visitors to admire. Often, Im sure, said photo really did enable the working man to contemplate his loved ones bet
65、ween appointments, but it served other purposes as well. The photo was an emblem, an asset, a hanging prize. Behold, it said: I am not only a lawyer or corporate titan（巨人）, I am a husband and father. It clarified that work and family occupied two distinct realms (领域), and testified that the owner ha
66、d achieved success in both. Now, the opposite is true. Todays photos are an expression of the conflicted feelings of the modern office worker. Rather than relegating the family to a different realm, they are an attempt to bring the two realms closer, to admit family into the office. They are attempt
67、s to make us feel that we are not separate from our kids; that we are still with them, and they with us, vivid, changeable, in the flesh. They are expressions of pride, yes, and love, yes, but also of guilt and longing. So powerful are the emotions roused that a friend of mine, upon returning to wor
68、k after having her first child, found that she couldnt bring any photos; they made the absence from her son too painful. Not everything has changed. Formal photos still hang in uneasy coexistence with informal ones, in womens offices and in mens. Sociologist Arlie Hochschild noted, that it was the l
69、ower-ranking women who peppered their desks with intimate family snapshots. For these women, she posits（提出）, the photos sent a message: I may not be powerful here, but theres a place, home, where I am. The more high-up the woman, the less she indulged in these snapshots（快照）, as if they might call he

I dont entirely buy this distinction - in my workplace, women at all levels do the montage thing, as do men - but I do remember being in the office of a busy lawyer and seeing a framed pho

At the same time that family photos testify to what we have, they also testify to what we dont. What we dont have, while were working, is the very thing th
72、ey display: the spontaneous moments, the golden unlimited hours. In keeping these snapshots at our desk we are like pets, really, that in their masters absence seek out his sweater to lie upon. Absent our family, the best we can do is bask in its representation, create the illusion that we can sense
