4．One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card．They give their owners automatic credit in stores，restaurants，and hotels，at home，across the country，and they make many banking services available as well．More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically，making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations，whether or not the local branch bank is open．For many of us the"cashless society"is not on the horizon---it's already here．
While computer offer these conveniences to consumers，they have many advantages for sellers too．Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales．They can keep a wide range of records，including who sold what，when and to whom．This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how far they are moving．Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made．At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient，allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly．And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns．Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons．Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now，which to develop for the future and which to drop．Computers keep track of goods in stock，of raw materials on hand，and even of the production process itself．
Numerous other commercial enterprises，from theaters to magazine publishers，from gas and electric utilities to milk processors，bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers．

C．nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
D．it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before

3．I could still remember that hot afternoon when my mother ordered me to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．In this way，she hoped to defeat my strange problem-inability to read．
In the library，I found my way into the"Children's Room．"I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a beagle．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal friend I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forgot my beagle．
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked similar to my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer．
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together．
My mother's call returned me to the real world．I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book．Everyone knew I could not read．But I had read it．Books could be so wonderful．I was going to read them．
I never told my mother about my wonderful experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year．And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in the literature，and published his own books，articles，poetry and fiction．The power of the words has held．

21．The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order toA．

2．Ricky lived in a modern house．Though he didn't help much around the house，Ricky was still pleased when his parents brought him the latest model of butler（管家） robot．Upon his arrival，cooking，cleaning，gathering up clothes from Rick's bedroom floor，which Ricky didn't like having to work on，were all done by the robot．On that first day，Ricky had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous state before bed．When he woke up the next morning，everything was perfectly arranged．
It comes to Ricky's turn to face the music．He could find his favorite T-shirt nowhere，nor his newly-bought model plane．No matter how he searched，it was in vain．To make matters worse，the same was starting to happen to other items．Ricky cast a suspicious eye on the butler robot．He hatched a plan to spy on the robol，and began following it around the house．Finally，it was caught picking up one of his toy to hide it．
Considering the robot being bad programmed，Ricky turned to his parents，and asked them to have it fixed，but his parents turned his advice down．
On hearing the complaints，the robot returned with Ricky's missing items and apologized，"Hey，sir．I've no idea that I'm bothering you．"Angrily，Ricky fought back，"You've been stealing my stuff for weeks!"
"They were left on the floor，I therefore thought that they were cast away．I am programmed to collect all unwanted，and I gave them away to the less fortunate at night．Am I a maximum efficiency machine？"
Ricky was ashamed of having treated those things as if they were useless．He was aware that the robot was not misprogrammed，and that，or rather，it had been programmed extremely well!Since then，no Ricky's useful items disappeared．

C．It was misunderstood by its young master．
D．It was designed to teach Ricky a lesson．

C．Ricky would design more robots like the butler robot

It's generally believed that nothing in the world is precious than life．You can't help feel sorry for the woman after you look at the picture．In this picture，the driver's mother is crying sadly for her son'death caused by his drunk driving．In recent years，drunk driving has become a hot topic．It is said that a number of people who died each year due to drunk driving in the world is much larger than that of people who die in a modern war．Unfortunately，our government has taken plenty of measure against drunk driving．People believe that may help prevent from this dangerous behavior．Most important，in my opinion，drivers themselves should realize the importance of give up drunk driving．

19．Miles to Go took me on a road trip through the life of a girl that I thought I already knew everything about．With every sentence，I felt like Miley was talking to me，having a sister-to-sister chat．She wrote this with her heart，and that is why it is so meaningful．
Miley is not a cookie-cutter （千篇一律的） celebrity，like many say．She knows where she came from and won't forget it．She lives by her values and holds onto her strong faith．
Family is always Miley's top priority．If her little sister，Noah，wants her to stay home and watch a movie，Miley will．Even if Miley gets invited to a celebrity party，it's clear that Miley will choose her family first．
My favorite part of the book is when she talks about Vanessa，a 9-year-old girl suffering from cystic fibrosis （囊性纖維變性）．Miley met her at a hospital and they became friends．Miley kept in contact with her family and often visited Vanessa at the hospital or called when she was on tour．One day Miley called only to find that Vanessa's time on the earth had ended．Miley was very sad．She immediately got off the tour bus and lay down in a frozen field．This was when Miley realized how important it is to love every day and not take it for granted．This is just one of Miley's many     beautifull stories．
Miley connects with readers．For someone so young，Miley is one of the most brilliant people that I have ever seen．Her fame hasn't changed her； she stays grounded with the help of her family and her faith．
When this book came out，I became Miley's number-one fan all over again．In reading Miles to Go，I felt like a part of the family．
