In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth's postwar era there was quite a widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are hesitant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply function in a wrong way.
Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal（内在的） computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.
Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come
with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
Answer the questions 56—59 and complete the sentence of 60. 56. What was the initial concern about computers? 57. What's the less dramatic and less foreseen problem? 58. What does “their own internal computers” refer to?

When Christopher Columbus arrived in America 500 years ago, he found people who had been living here for centuries. Among the Native Americans eventually affected by his “discovery” were the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. Recently, we spoke with five Pueblo teens. Here's what they had to say about their lives today:
What qualities do you think are special to Native Americans?
Robin Atencio, 15: Our people are proud and have a strong sense of community. We look out for one another. No one is homeless.
Katrina Humetewa, 16: We have many strong old beliefs and traditions. One is that nature is sacred(神圣的). The earth gives us food and life. We don't throw away a lot of poisons into the ground and rivers.
How do you learn about your history and culture?
Fabiola Lovato, 17: We learn from our elders. They tell us about the natural world, medicines, and other things. Our traditions are passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth.
Is your daily life like that of other teens?
Justin Mchorse, 17: In many ways, yes. I listen to rap and rock ‘n' roll. I dress in jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers. I go to a regular school. In my pueblo (village), I live in an adobe (house made of mud and plaster). We have electricity and plumbing.
Jonathan Teba, 15: I go to movies with my friends and just hang out and talk. I also love sports. I watch the Lakers and the Bulls on TV.
How is your life different?
Justin: I listen to traditional Native American music. At powwows, different tribes get together to perform their dances. I'll hear round-dance songs, war-party songs, and stuff like that.
Jonathan: Mostly it's a matter of religion. We have many traditional beliefs and ceremonies. But we can't talk about them. They're private.
What's the biggest problem you face as a Native American living in today's world? Justin: There's a lot of prejudice. Many people have stereotypes about Native Americans. They think we all live in tepees (圆锥形帐篷） and hunt buffalo, like the Native Americans they see in TV westerns.
Fabiola: Some history books talk about us as if we were all savages （原始人） and uncivilized. They're wrong. We're good, hard-working people who live in harmony with nature.
What other concerns do you have?
Robin: For me, seeing Columbus being celebrated for discovering America is difficult. Our people lost their lives, their culture, their land. We're wondering, “What about us?”
Jonathan: I worry about losing our traditions. I'm trying to learn my language—Tewa. But it seems many elders have forgotten a lot. Elders used to stay home and teach the children. Today, many have to work. There's less time for the old ways nowadays.
Answer the following questions.
66. What's the purpose of this article?
67. Who are important people in Pueblo culture according to the article? 68. How do these teenagers feel about their heritage (文化遗产）?
There are a lot of information in the teenagers' talk. Fill in the following chart with the names of people to find out who talk about the information given.

IV. 翻译 (Translation) （共10小题， 计10分） A)阅读下面的短文，然后把划线处的句子译成汉语。
A couple of years ago, when I was going to college, I volunteered to be a finish-line “hugger” at the
Kentucky Special Olympics held in Richmond. (86) Because I was studying to become a
special-education teacher, I was very interested in the games and the people and wanted to be more involved.
The day of the event dawned dreary, wet and gray. I arrived early and watched as the participants arrived with their families, friends and school groups. (87) Even though it started to rain and a cold wind blew, I didn't hear a single person complain. In fact, most of the participants were so excited that they didn't seem to notice the weather at all.
When the sky cleared up a bit, the first games began. (88) My job was to stand at the end of a lane on the track and hug the person in that lane when he or she crossed the finish line. It seemed to me that many of the participants completed their races just so they could get that “finish” hug. (89) As the arms of the hugger closed around them, their faces lit up with pure joy, whether they came in first or dead last.
While we huggers stood around, waiting for one race to end and the next to begin, we talked. I was told that most of the participants had been training for the races all year. I was impressed. (90) A dedicated athlete, I had been captain of my high school soccer team for two years, but even I hadn't trained year-round.
