  Passage 4

  Computers are very versatile. They can do many things: teaching, playing games, or helping with a business, so choosing a computer is not an easy, simple job. But if you follow these steps, you will find it easier.

  First, decide on the main reasons why you want a computer. Is this computer very useful for you? Is it the most important reason to play games or to help with business or to help with your school work?

  Second, look carefully at the programs computer can use. Some people also write their own programs. If you want to write your own, it is important to look at the computer language. Is it easy to learn?

  Third, decide the smallest, or the least needs you have for your computer. What are the characteristics you would like to have? For example, do you want a typewriter key board? Is a color display important to you? Your use of computer will help you decide which characteristics are necessary, which are nice, and which are unnecessary.

  Fourth, when you have limited your choices to a few computers, look at the secondary uses and programs. For example, if your main reason for buying a home computer is to play games, you may take computer A instead of computer B because computer A also can be used as a word professor.

  Fifth, think of the price. There are prices to think about. The first price is the price you must pay to take the computer home. The second is the price of additional programs and possible additions that you might want to buy at a later date.

  Be sure to try out the computer before you buy it. Sales people at computer shops are happy to help you choose the computer that will best fit your needs and cost you least.

  Passage 5

  For most Americans, the 1930’s was a decade of suffering hard times. The stock market collapse of 1929 triggered what came to be known as the Great Depression. By 1933, it’s estimated the 1/4 of the labor force was out of work in the United States alone. A sense of hopelessness and fear gripped the nation. Many people went hungry. Bread lines and soup kitchens operated by charity became commonplace. On the Great Plains, a terrible drought wiped out thousands of farms. The region became known as the Dust Bowl. In 1932 presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt told voters that things had to change.

  “I pledge myself to a New Deal for the American people.”

  The New Deal put thousands of people back to work. Nevertheless, hard times continued for most Americans until the outbreak of World War II when American factory production geared up (作好安排) fully for the war.

  The 1940’s was a decade dominated by a vast world war that raged through Europe, Asia and North Africa. On Dec. 7th, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the United States’ entry into that great conflict.

  “A state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.”

  Fifteen million men and women joined the armed forces. In the factories women and retired workers took over for men to fuel the war effort. Americans turned the tide in favor of the Allies. In May 1945, Germany surrendered. Three months later Japan surrendered in the aftermath(后果) of two atomic bombs. As the decade drew to a close, the demand for consumer goods, brought on by wartime shortages, helped create a prosperous economy.

  Passage 6

  College brings together people from all walks of life. There are so many different types of people in the world but if you go to a college campus, you are sure to find at least one of every kind. The great part about being here with so many different people is that you get to interact with some interesting characters and see how to deal with them. You will meet the people you dread the most, the smart-ass, the brain, or the unique spirit, but no matter who it is that is your worst nightmare to be around you will always be paired up with them in a group project. When you get into the real world you are not going to be able to pick your boss or coworkers. Interacting with these people in college and living with different roommates will help you learn how to cooperate with the people in life you find so unpleasant. College life is fun. The fact that I have been here for a short time just means it has not yet been a life changing experience to me. If I were to give any tips on how to survive, it would not be how to survive college, but how to survive life. I would have to say that one should be outgoing and live life to the fullest. Meet new people whenever you can because they just may be a major influence in your life. Also, get your work done before you go out and party. Lastly, I would have to say, in life if you ever feel lost or alone, talk to someone about it. Everyone gets depressed at times in their life and there is always someone who will listen to your problems.
