Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States.
\one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy,\recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. \even send e-mail to each other.\networks. \says Mr. Braun. \
Mr. Gokyigit's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside
of a machine. \computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do,\
The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. \feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,\
Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer (合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. \boss.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
\永生),\State University business professor and author of two books on the future. \will see it and that's a conservative estimate (保守的估计).\
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (拉米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. \great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,\he said. \have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.\
However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. \you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?\ Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. \to that point are not in good health at all.\

One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said: \was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.\
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: \eye contact (接触).\Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki
every 15 minutes.
\'Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?'. My heart missed a beat.\ Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
\could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐).\
71. The underlined phrase \
A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own 72. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because_____ A. the police called her B. he looked very strange
