Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in thenetwork broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system hadto be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers.If part of the network was not working, information could be sent throughanother part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all thetime. At first the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s,universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However,computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. Bythe start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientistshad also developed software that made 'surfing' (浏览) the Internet more convenient. Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is saidthat millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more andmore popular among students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life. 判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用 “F”表示。l. The Internet has a history of less than thirty years. F 2. In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily. T 3. Computers become cheaper so that many hospitals and banks were allowed touse them. F 4. People didn't have enough software to get on-line conveniently until theearly 1990s. T If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; whenyou start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knowsthat. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps hismemory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his ownfault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that hisparents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can' t read or write but usually they havebetter memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have toremember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have toremember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole timebeing exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.1. The main reason for one's poor memory is that his parents have poormemories. F 2. If you don't use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong. F 3. A good memory comes from more practice. T 4. Some people can't read or write, but they have better memories, because theyhave saved trouble. F 5. The best title of this passage is “How to Have a Good Memory”. T

The brain receives information from the outside word through the sensory(感觉的)system.This information is collected through the eyes,the nose,the ears,the mouth and the surface of the body.It is then kept in the memory.In fact,scientists do not completely understand how the memory woks but they are not sure how much information that the human brain can store.Also,it appears that the information is never lost.Very old people often remember things that happened in their childhood which have not come to their minds for sixty to seventy years. If we have kept something in our memory,it is here.But can we get it out again and use it ?That is the difficulty. Some of the information we receive only goes into the Short Term Memory.We only keep this information for a minute or tow,then we lost it.This temporary memory is very important in our thinking and understanding.It is used,for example,when you try to remember a name that someone told you a moment ago or a telephong number that you are going to dial .School children in class often seem to use the Short Term Memory if they are not interested in the subject,When school teachers describe this,they say that things go "in one ear and out in the other".But if a child is interested,he puts the information in his Long Term Memory,and he never loses it.Long Term Memory depends heavily on our understanding of the meaning of the information we receive.( A )1.Information is collected through the ____of sight,hearing,smell,taste and touch.A.sense B.experience C.practice D.brightness( B)2.Very old people can remember something happened______.A.recently B.about seventy years agoC.in their thirties D.in their classroom( A)3.If a school child is not interested in a subject,____.A.he forgets what he learns quicklyB.he memorizes what he learns quicklyC.he forgets what he learns slowlyD.he memorizes what he learns slowly( B )4.The better we understand the meaning of the information ,___.A.the more information we can put in our Shirt Term MemoryB.the more information we can put in our Long Term MemoryC.the less information we can put in our Shirt Term MemoryD.the less information we can put in our Long Term Memory这是我们今年的初二期末考试试卷。手打的……给点分吧……
