 The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds of years ago. In those days, the people did not really eat chocolate. They used the cocoa bean（可可豆）to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it very much. Many years later, the cocoa bean was brought to other countries and people came to love the taste of chocolate.
 In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in Britain. One of the things he sold was chocolate drink. In 1831, he opened a factory to make chocolate drink. He wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead of other drinks. A few years later, a man called Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate instead of only drinking it. But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it. Later, ad more and more chocolate bars were produced and sold, it became cheaper.
 However, aT first only plain chocolate （a kind of chocolate without milk and with very little sugar）was produced. Milk chocolate came later and this was made by adding milk to the chocolate. The first milk chocolate bar was made in Cadbury’s factory in 1897. Their most famous chocolate, Cadbury’s Milk Bar, was made in 1905, It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over 100 years.

Education
School is expensive for many African children. Lots of families can't afford school uniforms or exercise books even though they don-t have to pay for school.
For those lucky enough to go to school, they have a lot to learn. Some take two language classes: English or French, and their first language. There is al90 math, science, history, social studies and geography. Chores take up much of children's time after school. They have to get water and firewood for the family; every day. Also there's cleaning, washing and helping Mum with the meal.
    Daily fun
    It's not all work and no play. Sports are very popular. Children can make goals with twigs（嫩树枝）and their own footballs with plastic and bits of string（绳子）.They play in the country and the streets of old towns. There're many football teams for teenagers in Africa.
    Internet
    It's really expensive to get on the Internet. To surf the net for 20 hours costs over 600 yuan.  This is more than the average（平均的）monthly pay per person.
    Egypt and South Africa are the top two users of the Internet in Africa. All of the capital cities there can get on Internet.

Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry. 
In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture(农业) in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can. Therefore, at present people tend(易于) to have smaller families.
In the future, because of industrialization（工业化）, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.
(   )35. What kinds of families are described in the passage?
   A. Families of the past.
   B. Families of the present and of the future.
   C. Families of the past and of the future.
   D. Families of the past, the present and the future.
(   )36. What is one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in America?
   A. People don’t like having children.
   B. Children want to leave their families when growing up.
   C. The need for workers who can move at any time is increasing.
   D. Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves.
(   )37. What can you learn about from the passage?
   A. Americans are very choosy with their jobs.
   B. Children do not live with their parents or grandparents.
   C. Large families have difficulty surviving in the modern society.
   D. Science and industry have caused lots of families to split(破裂).

E-mail is one of the biggest threats (威胁) to your home computer. By understanding how E-mail works, and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages, you can keep this threat out of your computer. When you exchange E-mail with someone else, the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computers before they reach their places. Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet "room", a very, very big room. Anyone, or more exactly, any program can probably understand what is being said, because most Internet conversations are not hidden in any way. As a result, others may be listening in, capturing(捕获) what you send, and using it for their own good.
    E-mail-borne viruses often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something. By beautiful appearances, an infected(感染) E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know, not a mean virus ready to damage our computers.
There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment (附件) that you receive. You should only read a message that passes all of these tests:
     1) The Know Test: Is the E-mail from someone that you know?
     2) The Received Test: Have you received E-mail from this sender before?
     3) The Expect Test: Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?
     4) The Meaning Test: Do the topic line of the E-mail message and the name of the attachment both have meanings?
     5) The Virus Test: Is the E-mail infected?
(   )38. Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph?
     A. We should not exchange our E-mail with someone else.
     B. It is dangerous to read and write E-mail messages at home.
     C. We should learn how E-mail works to take care of our computers.
     D. Our chats on computers are usually going on in a big Internet room.
(   )39. As the Internet is open to anyone, we should ______.
     A. not read and write messages in our home computers
     B. not allow nice advertisements to reach our computers
     C. stop our conversations while someone is listening in it
     D. be careful with the attractive E-mails sent by strangers
(   )40. What is the passage mainly talking about?
     A. The Threats of E-mail.
     B. The Safety of Home Computers.
     C. The E-mail-borne Viruses.
     D. The Steps to Receive E-mail Messages.
