When I was in junior high school, darkness began filling my mind. I don’t know the reason why it began. All I know is that I started f 1. hopeless and worthless. I hid in my room, staring out of the window, thinking about all my2.(失败). I even questioned whether being3. (活着) was worthwhile. My dark mood wasn’t constant. It would fade at t 4., but it always returned.
It was my parents and my friends that helped me ge5. the dark mood. At the beginning when I was depressed, I was6.(尴尬) to tell anyone. I didn’t want to seem weak or needy. But later I found that when I told my friends my feelings, they never laughed at me. On the7., they supported and encouraged me. So remember: no one can face depression a 8.. If you’re depressed, find someone — a friend, parent or teacher — and tell them your feelings. Consider9. a doctor or psychologist, if it is getting worse.
In fact, t 10. depression affects many people all over the world, treatments are available and can bring hope and joy back into their life.
This fourth of July I moved into a new house with my wife, Nicole. Nicole and I met through a series of coincidences that would be unlikely without some unbelievable force causing them to happen.
The day Nicole and I met, we talked about the Yankees. In the restaurant where we sat, the first game between the Yanks and Tampa Bay was being shown on television. Nicole was happy I was a baseball fan, and she told me that was an important reason when she considered dating (约会) me. “My dad wouldn’t like me dating anyone who isn’t,” she said.
Nicole’s dad, Ira, used to be a coach for the Yankees. Many years ago, a colleague (同事) of his was leaving and packing up his office. The only thing left unpacked was a photo on the wall. It was a picture of Sparky Lyle, a famous baseball player. Sparky had signed the photo on the bottom.
“You’re not taking that?” Ira asked. “You want it?” his colleague offered. “Sure!” Ira said. He jumped at the chance to have a signed photo from a great player who had helped the team win two World Series.
Ira told me the story after the movers had gone. He then said to me, “Adam, when I first learned who was dating my daughter, that photo came into my mind,” he said. “But by now, I know for sure you’re meant to have it.” He then presented me with a box. I tore it open. Inside was the signed photo of Sparky Lyle which I had lost years ago.
“To Adam, Best Wishes, Sparky Lyle”. It was picked up by Nicole’s dad years before I’d even met her. The perfect gift — a sign only making me believe what I already knew ... I was meant for Nicole and her family all along.

Computer technology is still developing rapidly. The computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost. It will become smaller, but faster and more powerful.
It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like, based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now. A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies, but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years. Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing (量子计算) and nanotechnology (纳米技术).
Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today. Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time.
Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing, by creating computers that could be very powerful, though they are tiny in size. These computers could be incorporated (并入) into everyday objects, including electrical appliances (电器), clothes and even the human body. We will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways. They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes, such as work.
Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles, which will make us live greener lives, as well as enjoy better health and happier lives.
1.Which of the following can NOT describe the computer of the future properly?

2.According to the text, quantum computing _____.
A. has been put in use so far
B. can make computers run by themselves
C. can reduce the cost of computers
D. will work by using transistors
3.We can learn from the text that nanotechnology will _____.
A. create much smaller computers
B. be used in electrical appliances and clothing
C. change the structure of computers

A. what nanotechnology is
B. what quantum computing is
C. what the future of the computer is
D. what future computers can bring us
