　　A

　　Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $ 10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees---anywhere at all!

　　Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials also are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.

　　At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."

　　It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left. Considering most of the word’s population----men and women----are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?

　　History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.

　　Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.

　　64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?

　　A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.

　　B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.

　　C. It woks better with men than with women.

　　D. It fails to consider right-handed people.

　　65. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?

　　A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.

　　B. They were interested in the historical matters.

　　C. They were mostly dressed by servants.

　　D. They drew their swords from the left.

　　66. Women’s clothes still button from the left today because

　　.

　　A. adopting men’s style is improper for women

　　B. manufacturers should follow standards

　　C. modern women dress themselves

　　D. customs are hard to change

　　67. The passage is mainly developed by

　　.

　　A. analyzing causes

　　B. making comparisons

　　C. examining differences

　　D. following the time order

　　Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

　　Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

　　Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

　　59. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

　　A. depend on one sense in choosing food

　　B. are not satisfied with their food

　　C. choose food in similar ways

　　D. eat entirely different food

　　60. Which of the following eats only one type of food?

　　A. The white butterfly.

　　B. The small bird.

　　C. The bear.

　　D. The fox.

　　61. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.

　　A. the season changes

　　B. the food color changes

　　C. they move to different places

　　D. they are attracted by different smells

　　62. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

　　A. food is chosen for a good reason

　　B. French and British food is good

　　C. some people have few choices of food

　　D. some people care little about healthy diet
