  Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.

  This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years age by Deborah Logan,"a woman who knew everybody in her day,"James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.

  Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia ,It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington .D. C in the war of 1812.She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear"during the troubled days.George Wash- ington,she writes,mistook her for the wife of a French man.and praised her excellent English.

  The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from Eng- land to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先)to the Library Company,which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.

  Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession"a bout five minutes"when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person.On returning to his hotel after showing the percious book to Green,Luxmoore waas shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.

  Without any delay,Green began calling every taxi company in the city,with no luck,"I've felt sick since then," Luxmoore told reporters.

  According to Green.no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .

  Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become "computer-literate." But not all experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.

  One ploneer,in particular,who disagrees is David Tebbutt,the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer.David does not seeit that way.He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason,to bring computers to people and make them"people-literate."

  David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two,The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already.This frightens away non-experts,who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on.with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have,They are not told what to do.they find out.The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers.but have to be able to answer all questions people ask.People don't have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts have to expla in plain language. The computers are becoming "peoPle-literate."

56. Which of the following is David Tebbutt's ides on the relationship between people and computers?

  A.Computer learning should be made easier.

  B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.

  Dear Mr Smith:
    I was so p1eased to hear from you and am writing to tel1 you something about my school.You are right. Quite a few changes have taken place. On one side of the rond there is a new c1assroom building. On the other side, where the playground used to be now stands another new building一our library. In it there are all kinds of books,newspapers and magazines. The plapy ground is now in front of the schoo1. We have also planted a lot of trees in and a round the school. I hope you come and see for yourself some day.
    Best wishes.
                                 yours
                                 Li Hua
