阅读下面短文,简要回答所给问题。 The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some cards cost up to £4,000. The first Japanese card has a value of about £28,000. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine. 小题1:When were the first Italian telephone cards produced? _________________________________________________ 小题2:How many countries can produce telephone cards now? _________________________________________________ 小题3:Where can we find a market to buy telephone cards? _________________________________________________ 小题4:What is the price of the first Japanese telephone card? _________________________________________________ 小题5:In which magazine do most people see cards with prices? _________________________________________________ |

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)? If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail, insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan. Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours. To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot. 小题1:There were _______ blind man who were trying to tell what an elephant was like in the story.小题2:The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.A.heavy | B.thin | C.tall | D.strong | 小题3:The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to ___.A.your left hand | B.your right hand | C.the water | D.the bowl | 小题4:What makes people think about simple facts differently?A.People’s wrong ideas. | B.People’s different experience. | C.Simple facts are different sometimes. | D.People often disagree with each other. | 小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.A.learn from the blind men | B.not agree about simple facts | C.never think about simple facts | D.never decide anything with one side |

The scientists from the Lockheed Space Company (公司) work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What the scientists input is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as possible. Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints (印刷品), but the most effective seems to be by pigeon (鸽子). Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way. Human (人类的) messengers (persons carrying messages) are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout system(电子印刷系统) could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each. Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous.
