Dear Editor,

I’m writing to tell you about how we students use computers in our daily lives. Some use them in a good way when some others don’t. As far as I am concerned, more and more students now use computers help with their study. If we meet some difficulties when they are doing their homework, they always got help from the Internet. To spend their spare time, they look for more informations with the computers to have much more knowledge. At the same time, however, the great number of students are still so interested in PC games and chatted with others on the Internet that they can not force themselves to return to their study. They are really in dangerous. That is how we mainly use computers. They can either do good and harm to us.

Best wishes!

Yours truly,

Li Hua

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.   71 

Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that’s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list.   72  

Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save.   73  Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment(投资). However, it’s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.

74  Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill.   75   If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers choose to use the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

E．You should keep your shopping list carefully in case you can exchange it for coupons.

F．Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods when they are not hungry.

G．Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.

Pretoria, South Africa – Hundreds of swimmers play in the water along a South Africa beach. Suddenly a huge shark appears off shore and heads for the bathers. Before it can get close to the swimmers, the shark, for some mysterious reason, starts swimming parallel to the beach. Then it turns away from the shore and heads out to sea, leaving the swimmers untouched.

Such a scene will soon become common along shark-in-fasted (鲨鱼成群的) shores. An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed an electrical system that repels (击退) sharks by controlling their movements. Confused by this action, the sharks end up turning away from the beach.

In this unusual shark-repellent method, an insulated (绝缘的) cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach where people swim. When an electric current is sent through the cable, an electric field is produced in the water above the cable.

When shark swims into the electric field, nerve cells just below the shark' s skin will sense the field. The electricity produces a reflex (反射作用) action in the shark' s muscles, causing the dangerous animal to swim parallel to the cable. Confused by increasing loss of control of its muscles, the shark suddenly changes its direction and heads seaward, away from the electric field.

In a test of the invisible new shark-repellent system, a cable was placed around a beach in St. Lucia, an island around the beach a long time ago to keep sharks away from swimmers, and a net was left in place during the experiment.

When the electric field was left on for more than a year and a half, no sharks were found in the net. However, when the power was turned off,89 sharks ended up in the net.

Using the electric-wall method instead of net to protect bathers would avoid the needless death of many sharks, said biologists. Currently, thousands of sharks die each year when they become trapped in protective nets that surround holiday resorts in Africa and Australia.  About 10 to 15 humans are killed by sharks annually.

1．Why doesn' t the shark attack the swimmers according to the passage?

A．Because there are so many swimmers in the water.

B．Because the shark isn’t so hungry as to eat the swimmers.

C．Because of some mysterious power from the heaven.

D．Because there is an invisible electric field confusing the shark.

2．An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed __      .

A．a protective net   

B．a new shark-repellent system

C．the electric field        

D．an insulated cable

3．An electric field is produced in the water above the cable         .

A．only when a shark swims into the electric field

B．only when an insulated cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach where people swim

C．only when an electric current is sent through the cable

D．only when the sharks are trapped in protective nets

4．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Protective nets had been fixed earlier than the new shark-repellent system.

B．The new shark – repellent system will probably replace the protective nets.

C．Thousands of sharks have died each year since this new system was put into use.

D．Using the electric-wall instead of nets would avoid the needless death of many sharks.
