26、y.” The young man nodded, “Yes. I have been dreaming of being a person as famous as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become well-known. I dont know when I can achieve my fame.”Addison told him, “Dont worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you
27、die!” “Why should I?” the young man was puzzled.Addison said, “What your dream is actually a high building. You never think of how to build it with bricks.

Warmhearted CArt museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “desig
34、n museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall. People have argued
35、that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales-it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first
36、 tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale. One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled（困惑）. This is partly b
37、ecause design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding. In recent
38、 years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the publics growing interest in the field with new ideas. Londons Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of I
39、talian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous（幽默的）part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life. DEvery year when the I
40、talian artist Michelangelos (14751564，意大利文艺复兴时期著名雕刻家、画家、建筑师) birthday comes around, computer users all over the world are filled with fear (害怕) and use their computers with care. Some may even choose not to turn on their computers on March 3. All this fear and care are just because a deadly computer
41、 virus is ready to cause damages (破坏) on that day.Whats a computer virus then? Why do people get so afraid of it?A computer virus is, in fact, a little program that is put into other programs and that does something bad. It is called a virus because, like any real-life viruses such as AIDs virus, it
42、 reproduces itself. And when these programs are run, the virus is brought to life. It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right moment to make damages. And at the same time it keeps producing itself by copying itself onto other programs.The Michelangelo virus waits until the artists
