“Take your time，” Mr. Ballou encouraged．“Read，borrow, and keep，Find something you like．What do you read ? ”
“I don't know．” And I didn’t．I generally read what was in front of me，what I could get from the paperback at the grocery, what I found at the library, magazines，the back of boxes．The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me．
“Pick for me，then．” I said．
He looked up and down at me as though measuring me for a suit．After a moment，he nodded，and handed me a dark red book，fairly thick．
“The Last of the Just，” I read．“By Andre Schwarz-Bart．What’s it about?’’ “You tell me，” he said．“Next week．”
I started after supper, sitting outdoors on all uncomfortable kitchen chair．Within a few pages，the yard，the summer, disappeared．Translated from French，the language was beautiful，simple，impossible to resist．When the evening light finally failed I moved inside，read all through the night．
To this day, thirty years later, I clearly remember the experience．It was my first meeting with world literature, and I was amazed by the strong power a novel contained．I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words，so the next week，when Mr. Ballou asked， “Well? ” I only replied，“It was good．’’ “Keep it，then，” he said．“Shall I suggest another?”
I nodded，and was presented with Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa． To make the story short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for helping cut his grass that year or the next．but for fifteen years I taught anthropology (人类学) at Dartmouth 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学

College．That summer when I started to read became a turning point in my life which change the course of all that followed．

B
The ideal companion machine—the computer—would not only look，feel，and sound friendly but would also behave in a pleasant manner．Its informal conversational style makes interaction comfortable，and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore very interesting．In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant，but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style．The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions，information，and opinions；it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own．
Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another．At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy．The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation．After experiencing a wealth of powerful，well-timed friendship indicators，the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend．
An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that people obtain from interpersonal relationships．The computer would participate in interesting conversation that could continue from previous discussions．It would have a familiarity with the user’s life as revealed in earlier contact，and it would be understanding and good-humored．The computer’s own personality would be lively and impressive，and it would develop in response to that of the user．With features such as these，the computer might indeed become a very attractive social partner． 25．What would the computer do according to Paragraph l ?
A．Passively receive information． B．Become intimate right away． C．Behave more like humans D．Know everything about the user． 26．The second paragraph intends to tell us __________．
A．it takes time for computers to gain personality of it own
B．friendship is built by expressing love and affection continuously C．a computer is more like a machine than a friend in human’s eyes 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学
