A Special Birthday Party
I teach a bilinggual kindergarten class. One Monday I noticed that two of my students, Juna and Cynthia, had a shared 36 on Friday of that week. I informed both their moms that they could bring in 37 to celebrate their children’s birthdays.
I wondered whether either 38 to bring in a birthday treat for the kids. On Thurday, I asked Juan and Cynthia about it, but they didn’t know anything about their parents’ plans. Both children, however, were very 39 about having a birthday party the next day in class. As Iwas tired after work, I decided to 40 it until the next day.
The next morning my first 41 was: What should I do about the cake? It would be terrible if there was nothing for the kids to 42 at the party. The thought worried me as I approached the Mexican bakery on my drive to school.
The shop had four large pieces of cake for a dollar each. The only thing was, I was 43 on cash. I needed the five dollars in my purse to 44 until payday. However, I decided the 45 was the most important.
The school day went well. After story time, I told the students, “ Today we are celebrating the double birthdays of Juan and Cynthia.”
I brought out the cake and lit the candles, and then we sang”Happy Birthday”, cynthia and Juan smiled happily. After the candles were blown out, I cut each of the four pieces of cake into five little pieces. It was just 46 , all 20 of my students had come to class that day.
At the end, juan said to me, “Miss Jones, I 47 had a birthday party before! ” As I watched him walk away, still 48 , tears came to my eyes. When Cynthia came up moments later, I asked her if she’d ever had a birthday party before.
“No”, she said, “ but I loved my birthday today! Thank you, miss Jones.”
I later learned, after talking with their parents, that our simple celebration had, 49 , been both Cynthia’s and juan’s first birthday party. I had to 50 the last couple of days of that month on the one dollar ---- but it was certainly worth it!

The history of inventions leading up to the modern computer is a story of people trying hard to create machines that complete many tasks automaticaslly, such as adding up large numbers, controlling airplanes in flights, etc. many of the earliest methods of recording and counting data still remian mysteries (something that is not understood).
In England you can visit Stonehenge, where a mysterious collection of large stones has stood since 1,500 BC. Scientists have never discovered the stones purpose. However, by observing the way the sun shines between the stones, many people believe Stonehenge was used to predict the seasons and eclipses (侵蚀) of the sun and the moon.
Another early method of computing was a brass calculator, which existed in Spain nearly 1,000 years ago. The machine was shaped like a human head, with numbers instead of teeth. The shape became its undoing; some people were afraid the machine was supernatural, and destroyed it. In early recorded hidtory, calculators that used the sun, or objects in the night sky, were developed to be used on ships to explore the world beyond the Tigris-Euphrates Valley of southwestern Asia. One such device, dating from the first century, worked with a system of gears designed to track the orbits of stars and planets. These orbits became the marked routes for ships.
In ancient Rome and greece, one of the earliest machines ever used for processing numbers was the abacus. This simple collection of beads have been used for centuries in China and other Asian countries. The abacus is built with columns of beads attached to a rectangular wooden frame. Inside the wooden frame is a crossbar that separates each column of beads into two sections. In the Chinese version there are two beads above the bar and five below. Each column of beads means a different range of numbers. The first column from the right represents ones, the second tens, the third hundreds, etc. By moving beads, calculations are quickly completed. Because values are shown by positions, the abacus is very valuable in teaching arithmetic to blind students.
Experienced users operate the abacus very quickly. After world War II, a speed competition was arranged in japan between the fastest calculator operator in the US Army and an employee of the Japanese Post Office using an abacus. The American was defeated easily by the moving beads of his opponent.
59. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A. Old methods to manage data.
B. The great inventions in science.
C. The mysterious historical events.
D. Theory and practice in computing.
60. How does the author try to prove his point?
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing the cause.
C. By telling a true story. D. By giving example.
61. The underlined word “undoing” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______ .
A. cause of bad luck B. reason for change C. way to escape D. loss of power
62. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A.The fast development of computer science.
B. The use of abacus in Japanese Post Office.
C. The invention of the first analytical engine.

People come from all over the country to see the competition. Some of them take it very seriously. The people who compete in the event tend to have two things in common: they all love the outdoors, and they all love contraptions.
There are several teams that take part in the contest. Some teams have been coming to the contest for many years. What do they call this strange contest that keeps people coming year after year? This fun annual contest’s unusual name is the “Punkin’ Chunkin’ Contest”. The aim of the contest is simple: to make a machine that can throw a pumpkin through the air. The amchine that throws—or chunks--- a pumpkin the farthest wins. The teams make these contraptions themselves. They work hard to make original machines that will chunk a pumpkin a long way.
Some women compete in the event, but not many. However, the contest does affect the men’s wives --- especially while the men prepare for the Punkin’Chunkin’ Contest. One team member explains, “The ladies don’t like to get involved. They know right around September … October, that it’s about time to become a Punkin’ chunkin’ widow.”
The unusual sport of Punkin’ chunkin’ began over 20 years ago. In those days, there were only three teams and a few friends who came to watch. But now, more than 20 years later, this strange contest has really grown. It’s becoming very popular. Today, the contest attracts more than 80 teams, and more than 20,000 people come to watch it!
