On October 12, 1989, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computers’ screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses （病毒）! Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.
It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence （才智）. These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem（耶路撒冷）Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the functions （功能）, damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of all the information.
We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. But fill now , how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.

Yellow, orange, red and green---tree leaves make autumn a colorful time! Who pain all these colors? It is the leaves themselves. Inside a leaf, there are millions of little color “bags”. They are green, yellow and orange. The green ones are called chlorophyll (叶绿素). The yellow ones are carotene(胡萝卜素).
In the summer, the green chlorophyll is very, very busy. It makes food for the tree. It catches sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into sugar. This sugar is the food for the tree. It is so busy that it covers up all of the other colors in the leaf.
When the weather grows colder in autumn, there is less light and water for trees. The trees will have a rest and get ready for winter. They’re made enough food in summer! The leaves no longer need water to make food.
Without the water, the green chlorophyll starts to go away. The other colors in the leaf---the yellow xanthophylls(黄色色素) and the orange carotene----come out. So, the leaves don’t really “turn” a certain color----they just lose their green!
But how about the red, purple and green leaves?
The leaves look red or purple because they have some sugar in them. They “steal” some food from the tree! The green leaves are from the evergreen trees(长绿树). The evergreen trees stay green all year long. Their leaves don’t lose water in winter.
45. The tree leaves have the following color “bag” except（除了）_________. A. red B. yellow C. orange D. green 46. In the summer, the green chlorophyll ___________ .
A. leaves the tree leaves B. works hard for the tree C. steals food from the tree D. has lot of sugar in it
47. In the autumn, the tree leaves turn yellow or orange because _________. A. they have enough air in them B. the green chlorophyll is busy working C. they have too much sugar D. the green chlorophyll stops working and goes away
48. Which of the following is true according to the article? A. Tree leaves no longer need water to make food in autumn. B. The yellow xanthophylls makes food for the tree.
C. The evergreen trees stay green all year long because they always need food. D. Tree leaves may look red or purple because they have no sugar in them. 49. We can infer (推断) from the article that __________.
A. tree leaves are beautiful B. trees can clean the air C. tree use too much water D. carotene is food for trees C
Dear Editor,
Last Sunday, I went to the post office to subscribe（订阅）some magazines. I was there for half an hour and there was still a long line in front of me.
My turn came at last. I quickly got everything done, and was ready to leave. Just then, someone came nearer to me. I looked up and saw him old and thin, with a dirty coat on him which has been worn out. I could see easily that he was a migrant worker（农民工）. Instinctively（本能地）I stepped backward. I was in my new red coat.
He told me he wanted to send some money home but didn’t know how to fill out the form. He asked me if I could help him.
“But you can ask the cashier（出纳员）.” After these few words, I froze into silence.
“I have asked her. But I still don’t follow her instructions. Would you kindly help me?” Just then, my mobile phone rang. It was an excuse to refuse him. I had my own business to do. Hopelessly and sadly, he gave up begging me and tried to find someone else who would lend him a hand.
As I stepped out, I became nervous about it. How could I refuse someone who was in need of help, especially such an old migrant worker? Was it because he was poor and dirty?
I want to say sorry to this migrant worker in this newspaper. It’s been on my mind for a long time. And I hope to feel better by doing this.
Catherine Jin
