22、Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won’t find out.” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
“It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model, ” his father had explained, “so don’t touch it under any circumstances. ” But his warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER. ”
“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead. ” A new message appeared on the screen:
“ENTER NAMES
VOYAGER 1: …
VOYAGER 2: …”
Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED.”
The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark, ” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.
But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow, until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2035. ”

23、About 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can’t drink sea water, how can it be important?
Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!
Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately（微妙地）balanced.
The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions（限制）to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is!
【1】People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea .
A. wouldn’t harm the fish in the sea
B. wouldn’t change the balance of the food
C. wouldn’t be broken down in the sea
D. wouldn’t do much harm to the sea
【2】From the passage ,we learn that .
A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
B. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
C. over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
D. it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
【3】Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?
A. The use of international agreements.
B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
C. The use of new techniques.
D. Raising people”s awareness of the need to protect oceans.
【4】What would be the best title of the passage?
A. The Importance of Seawater.
B. Life in the Oceans.
C. How to Protect Food Chains.
D. How to Deal with Seawater Pollution.
24、Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney’s entertainment parks each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well，one reason is the way they’re treated once they get there.The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”，as they prefer to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees，from vice presidents to parttime workers，begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “TraditionsⅠ”. Here，they learn about the company’s history，how it is managed，and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing “TraditionsⅠ”，the employees go on to do more specialised training for their specific(具体的) jobs. No detail(细节) is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eighthour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple，ordinary job，he replied，“What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are，when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds?We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.”
Even Disney’s managers get involved in the daily management of the parks. Every year，the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week，the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream，take tickets or drive the monorail，and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company’s goals more clearly.
All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one longtime business observer once said，“How Disney treats people，communicates with them，rewards them，is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success. ..I have watched，very carefully and with great respect and admiration，the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis，successfully. It is what Disney does best.”
