American life before 1950 felt nothing like American life feels now, and a big reason is those three changes that took place in the second half of the 20th century, which has had the most lasting impact on our lives today. 1. The building of the interstates (州际公路). 2. The covering of the United States with coast-to-coast television. 3. The introduction and spread of the Internet. Before the interstates were constructed, even a trip within an individual state often took considerable planning; two-lane roads, dangerous and slow, were common. The interstates tore down the invisible walls around U. S. towns. President Eisenhower was in favor of building the interstates, because he believed that, in a time of war, they would be helpful in moving troops and supplies. But their immediate effect was to make Americans feel that certain doors had been unlocked. With the interstates came a sense of freedom: A person could drive anywhere- everywhere-easily. Suddenly, horizons were unlimited. "Local" didn"t mean quite the same thing it used to. Getting away was effortless. The introduction of national television meant that for the first time in history, people in every corner of the country were watching exactly the same thing at exactly the same moment. It connected the country, in a way that even network radio hadn"t accomplished, and it was because of the quality of the TV pictures. As with the interstates, coast-to-coast television was a cure to separation. Those who ran the newly formed television networks had an enormous amount of power. Their decisions about what to put on the air determined what people would be talking about the next day. They controlled what people would laugh at and when, what people would cry over and when, what would anger people and when it would anger them. And then, later in the century, the Internet came along, erasing all symbolic borders. If the interstate highways had allowed physical freedom, the Internet allowed a different kind of freedom, one unprecedented (空前的) in human experience. It was no coincidence that it was initially referred to as the information superhighway: Seemingly overnight, the knowledge of the world was available to anyone with a keyboard and a modem; people who had never met and would never meet could communicate as if they were lifelong friends. Now the individual at his or her computer terminal was given the power to decide how he or she would be informed or entertained at a given moment. No one else had the absolute authority to arrange the individual"s life; he or she made that decision, moment by moment. What in the past might have taken a person a lifetime- searching for mankind"s recorded wisdom in distant and magnificent libraries- now, in theory, was available with a series of key taps from one"s room. What had once seemed unbelievable had, very quickly, become routine. The three developments ended up changing our daily world greatly; largely because of them, it is a world that would be almost unrecognizable to our grandparents and great-grandparents.

If you and your friends wish to share a secret, you can write it in code (编码), and no one else will be able to read it. Codes are one way of writing in secret. Ciphers (暗码) are another. In a code each word is written as a secret code word or code number. In a cipher each letter is changed. Codes and ciphers have played an important role in the history of the world. Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who defeated almost all the countries in Europe about 2, 000 years ago, used a cipher when he sent secret messages to his troops. During the American Revolution, George Washington"s spies used a kind of code to send him information about the enemy before his military (军事的) action. In World War Ⅱ, the Americans "broke", or figured out, Japan"s most important navy codes and got enough information to destroy a powerful Japanese fleet( 舰队). Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods. The codes show how much was paid for the goods or when they were added to the stock (商品). Businessmen use codes to hide plans from their business enemies. Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code. Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers simply as a hobby. In the 16th century, codes and ciphers were very popular among scientists. They wrote messages to each other in code so that no one else would learn their secrets. Geronimo Gardano, an Italian astrologer (星相家), mathematician, and doctor, invented the trellis cipher. He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same holes in each one. Then he sent one sheet, which he called a trellis, to a friend and kept the other for himself. Whenever he wanted to write a message, he put his trellis over a clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret message through the holes. Then he removed the trellis and filled the rest of the paper with words that would make sense. When his friend received it, he put his trellis over the writing and read the secret message.
1. The best title of this passage would be _______.
A. Codes and Ciphers B. Differences between Codes and Ciphers C. History of Codes and Ciphers D. Inventors of Codes and Ciphers
2. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Ciphers can be broken or figured out more easily than codes. B. You could read some words in Geronimo"s letter without his trellis. C. The first person who ever used a cipher in history was Julius Caesar. D. Fondness of using codes was the hobby of the scientists in the 16th century.
3. According to Geronimo Cardano, a trellis is _______.
A. a piece of paper with many small holes B. a secret message with a lot of small holes C. a letter with unreadable words and sentences D. a sheet of paper with groups of Arabic figures
4. It is NOT mentioned in the passage that codes and ciphers are used for the purpose of _______.
A. military affairs　　　　　　　　　　 B. commercial secrets C. scientific achievements 　　　　　　 D. personal enjoyment

When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals. The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten. The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I"d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn"t even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. I"d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination! The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I"loved. I hadn"t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1 500. The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口边缘) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I"m living freely and happily ever after.
1. Why did the writer go to Hawaii?
A. To make a living. B. To spend her holiday. C. To free herself from trouble. D. To realize her childhood dream.
2. Which of the following is the writer"s dream?
