He studied agriculture and took his doctorate from the Ag
25、ricultural Research Department of Kyushu University Graduate School. He became a lecturer in 1970 and has been professor of horticulture since 1982. Dr. Higa is famous for creating EM technology. He created EM technology in order to address the problem of excess wastes and bad farming techniques in
26、the present-day world. EM stands for effective microorganisms. It is a multi-culture of coexisting anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms. Microorganisms are the smallest complete units of life. They can exist independent of a bigger organism. Bacteria are considered microorganisms. They are constantl
27、y at work, some helping bigger organisms, and others bringing decay and bad health. These opposing processes of constructive and destructive forces are always ongoing, creating a balance. If the balance tips towards the destructive side, the host organism grows ill. lf it tips towards the constructi
28、ve side, the organism experiences good health. These organisms can be used in farming to create a good growing environment for all kinds of crops and animals. The process involves collecting human and animal waste products such as kitchen garbage and manure. This is then sealed into a barrel along w
29、ith a certain amount of EM powder. The microorganisms then turn the waste into mulch, which acts as a great source of nutrients for crops and animals. Rice paddies that are treated with EM produce harvests that are much bigger than those of conventional farms. Moreover, EM rice paddies require less
30、tilling and weeding than other paddies. Dr. Teruo Higas ideas have caught on around the world. One of his biggest successes was in North Korea, where his technology was used to create a record-breaking crop yield. EM helped many crops, such as corn, Welsh onions and Chinese cabbages in North Korea.

34、. C There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine(内燃机) has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons(活塞) being driven. For people should have some basic idea of
35、 how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a course that considers the computers impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy(读写能 力); it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a
36、liberal art. Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers. But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one
37、. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun, and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, the same is true of auto repair and violin-making. Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult, and it gets easier all the tim
38、e as programs become more “user-friendly”. Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen. What does the phrase learning to use a computer mean? It sounds like “learning to drive a car”, that is, it sounds as if there is some set of
39、 definite skills that, once acquired, enable one to use a computer. In fact, “learning to use a computer” is much more like “learning to play a game”, but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game, whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone
40、 how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program and generally that is easily accomplished. 45. To be the competent citizens of tomorrow, people should _. A. try to lay a solid foundation in computer science B. be aware of how the things that they use do what they do C.
41、learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skills D. understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car 46. In Para 2 “auto repair” and “violin-making” are mentioned to show that _. A. programming a computer is as interesting as making a violin B. people who can
42、 use a computer dont necessarily have to know computer programming C. violin making requires as much skill as computer programming D. our society needs experts in different fields 47. Learning to use a computer is getting easier all the time because _. A. programs are designed to be convenient to us
43、ers B. programs are becoming less complicated C. programming is becoming easier and easier D. programs are becoming readily available to computer users 48. According to the author, the phrase “learning to use a computer” in Para. 3 means learning _. A. a set of rules B. the fundamentals of computer
44、science C. specific programs D. general principles of programming 49. The authors purpose in writing this passage is _. A. to stress the impact of the computer on society B. to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging job C. to illustrate the requirements for being compe
45、tent citizens of tomorrow D. to explain the concept of computer literacy D An introduction to this book is as superfluous as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight. But a convention of publishing seems to require that the candle should be there, and I am proud to be the one to hold it. About te
46、n years ago I picked up from the pile of new books on my desk a copy of Sons and Lovers by a man of whom I had never heard, and I started to race through it with the immoral speed of the professional reviewer, But after a page or two I found myself reading, really reading. Here was here is a masterp
47、iece in which every sentence counts, a book packed with significant thought and beautiful, arresting phrases, the work of a remarkable genius whose gifts are more richly various than those of any other young English novelist. To appreciate the rich variety of Mr. Lawrence we must read his later nove
48、ls and volumes of poetry. But Sons and Lovers reveals the range of his typical power. Here combined and blended (混合的) sort of “realism” and almost lyric (抒情的) imagery and rhythm. The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents; they fall in love, marry, work, fail, succeed. and die. But their deeper emotions and of the relations of these little human beings to the earth and to the Stars, Mr. Lawrence makes something
