31、sic. Samuel cant understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar.

The Relationship between Memory and Music.CToday just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”.

39、 On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make bett

40、er decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and

41、dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs.

Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-

44、to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milk

45、ing machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future

46、, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.61. Which sentence carried the main idea of the whole passage?A. The first sentence of the first paragraph.B.

51、: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 67If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner.
