He explained to his father.“They wanted me to be at work at 8:00 a. m. and told me to do all sorts of unpleasant things.”“I dont care how you do it,” Mr Smith said. “Either you earn some money or move out of the house. I gave you one weeks time.” In the next few days Johnny began to c
31、hange. He still stayed in his room all day, but spent his time writing letters and reading through the newspapers. More and more posts began to arrive for him.

48、at she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic(学业的) achievements. While her success in college and law school led to a high-profile(备受瞩目) job, she said, she ended up leaving to focus on public service.“My message to all of you today is this: Do not waste a minute living someon
49、e elses dream,”she said. “It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy and you wont find what you love simply by checking boxes or padding your GPA(成绩).”She said the school reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago. “My No. 1 goal was to go to a high school that would
50、push me and challenge me,” she said. “I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement. A place where academic success wouldnt make me a target of bullying, but instead would be an honour.” But Mrs. Obama said pitifully that not all students have the same opportunities. “Unfortunately, scho
51、ols like this dont exist for every kid,” she said. “You are lucky.”The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers, and that how they respond to any difficulties will determine what kind of person they are. “Thats when you find out what youre really made o
52、f in those hard times,” she said. “But you only do that if youre willing to put yourself a position where you might fall.”Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark(特征) of many great people, she said. “Theres this guy Barack Obama he lost his first race for Congress, and now he gets to call himse
53、lf my husband.” The first lady joked: “I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures.” 71. Whats the purpose of Michelles visit to Tennessee High School?A. To visit her old schoolB.

57、manD. To talk about his failures. DOne evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. Thats when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across
58、a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceelysnear missfrom the accident made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS
59、. But it made no mention of the crossing. I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,she told the BBC.Who is to blame here ? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceelys story in his book When Machines Fail US, points the finger at the limitations of technology.
60、We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And its not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with h
61、is argument in the book is that itsnot clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possiblecauses. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault(错误
62、) for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesnt say.Its a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account (描写) of the advanced
63、 techniques that criminals(罪犯) use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe its also due to the sh
64、ortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may bea way for a wi
65、ser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness( 意识) of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousandsof years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.76. WhatdidPaulaCeelythinkwasthecauseofheraccident? A.Sh
66、ewasnotfamiliarwiththeroad. B.Itwasdarkandrainingheavilythen. C. The railway works failed to give the signal. D. Her GPS device didnt tell her about the crossing77.
