二、2.

1.Copernicus was born in Torun, Poland, on February 19, 1473. Little is known about his early life except that his father died when he was 10. An uncle adopted him, his two sisters, and his brother. The uncle saw to it that the two boys received a good education. Copernicus went to the University of Cracow. There he studied such subjects as Latin, mathematics, and astronomy. It was probably at that time that he changed his Polish name, Niklas Koppernigk, to the Latin form. of Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1496 Copernicus went to Italy, where he spent the next 10 years studying at various universities.
  In Copernicus"time people still believed that all things—the sun, the stars, and the planets moved around the earth. It was an old belief that few men had ever questioned. Aristotle had based his theory of astronomy on this belief. Because the Church had long been the center of learning, the theory was also linked to religious beliefs.
  In 1506 Copernicus returned to his homeland. A few years later he began to work for the Church. All those years Copernicus carried on his work in astronomy. He had just the most basic equipment and, like other scientists of his day, made observations with only his eyes. Still, using mathematics and logic, Copernicus worked out a different theory, which held that the planets went around the sun.
  Copernicus did not announce his ideas. He did not want to make trouble. But he could not hide the scientific truth. So he talked about his theory with his friends, who strongly advised him to have his work published. His great book, on the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, appeared at the very end of his life. Copernicus saw the first copy on the day he died, May 24, 1543.

7.The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card (信用卡) fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Web site (網(wǎng)站).
  Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.
  Computers hackers (黑客) have broken down security (安全) systems , raising questions about the safety of cardholder information.
  Several months ago, 25, 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer (批發(fā)商) , were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $ 157, 828 to get back the information.
  Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Mastercard is working on plans for web—only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.
  Ask about your credit-card firm"s on-line rules; Under British law, cardholders are responsible (對……負(fù)有責(zé)任的)for the first US $ 78 of any fraudulent spending.
  And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the web site offers advanced secure system.
  If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start with https://—the extra"s" stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.

13.Faces, like fingerprints(指紋) , are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child—or even an animal, such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
  We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone"s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
  Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone"s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a" nice person" , you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate (考慮 周到的) , friendly, warm, and so forth.
  There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon an Ports, an American psychologist, found nearly 18, 000 English words characterizing differences in people"s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types—people are described with such terms.
  People have always tried to" type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain"s (壞人) or the hero "s role. In fact, the words "person" and" personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning " mask " . Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

The main idea of this passage is ______.

A．how to distinguish people"s faces
B．how to describe people"s personality
C．how to distinguish people both inward (內(nèi)向的) and outward (外向的)
D．how to differ good persons from bad persons

A．a(chǎn) person"s face is more complex than his personality
B．a(chǎn) person"s personality is easily distinguished
C．people"s personalities are very alike
D．many words are available when people try to describe one"s personality

19.Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can"t be healthy if you" re dead.
  Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
  There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
  Myth Number One; It"s best to be" thrown clear" of a serious accident.
  Truth; Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you" 11 have to travel through a windshield (擋風(fēng)玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are "thrown clear".
  Myth Number Two: Safety belts" trap "people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
  Truth : Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
  Myth Number Three; Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.
  Truth：When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
