The engineer Camillo Oliver was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908.  At his factory in Ivrea, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter(打字机). Today the company's head office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.
By 1930 the company had 700 workers and it turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to offices and homes in Italy, but more typewriters were sold to other countries.
Camillo's son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. The production(生产) line was improved a lot and some top engineers in technology and design fields worked for him. The company developed new and better typewriters. More and more people became interested in their products. In 1959 it produced the ELEA computer system. This was the first mainframe(主机) computer designed and made in Italy.
After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial(财政) problems. Other companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.
In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marketing and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce better office equipment(设备). Soon it became one of the world's leading companies in information technology and communications. There are now five companies in the Olivetti group---one for personal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and services, and two for telecommunications.
What fact does the passage provide?

A.By 1930 Olivetti produced over 1,000 typewriters each month.
B.Olivetti made more money in the 1960s than in the 1950s.
C.Some of Olivetti's 700 workers often visited users in Italy.

From the text we know that Olivetti

A.produced the best typewriter in the world.
B.designed the world's first mainframe computer.
C.sold more typewriters abroad than other companies.

Hello,everyone.I'm here today to tell you something about my life as an exchange student in the United States last year.America was a big culture shock for me at first.I stayed with a host family in a small town.My host parents were very kind.They organized a lot of activities for me in my free time so that I wouldn't miss home.However,life in the US was difficult to get used to.My main problem was the language.

I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast.Another onewas the food.My host family always had bread,potatoes and salad,but I missed dumplings,rice and delicious dishes a lot,especially barbecue(烧烤).It was very famous in Qiqihar.It was an exciting year,and it was a valuable education for me.I understood more about American culture.My American friends asked me many questions about life in China,and this made me think about my own culture as well.Now I am back in China,I still remember the life in the US.Judge the following sentences true ( T ) or false ( F ) according to the passage.


(1)The writer now is in America.   

(2)The host parents were very friendly.   

(3)The host family always had dumplings,rice and delicious dishes.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and go to the city. We lived on a farm, and especially in \~﹣inter, we were quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the city. However, I soon discovered that my life has its disadvantages,too.

One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. ① 空气是如此的脏以至于我害怕出去. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bike, but that can be dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city. And there are wonderful jobs and more chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally,if you like shopping, the kind of goods is very surprising. ② What's more there are many shops that are not far from your home

Is life better in the city then? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may be a better choice. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

(1)Did the writer like living in the countryside when he was a child?

  

(2)How many disadvantages of living; in the city are there?

  

(3)What does the writer prefer in the countryside when he gets older?

On a very hot day, it can be hard to know what to do to feel good. If we run around, we may feel dizzyand sick to our stomachs. This is because our body can't get rid of the extra heat. However, if we just sit and do nothing, we may feel restless and bored. Are there things we can do to feel good when we are hot? Yes ! Playing in water is one way to feel cooler. Of course, people with a pool, river , lake or ocean nearby can play in the water very conveniently. People don't have these can still play in water too. Taking a cool bath or shower can feel good on a hot day. On hot days, you can lose two gallons(加仑) of water in one day, so many doctors agree that you should try to drink at least 16glasses of water to keep the water balance in your body.Mixing a little juice into your water is a good way to help you drink plenty of water. The food we eat also makes a difference in how we feel in the heat. Cold foods, such as ice cream and drinks with some ice can cool down our bodies.
