These days when someone says a computer has a bug (小虫子) in it, usually they mean that there’s a problem with one of its programs. Maybe your computer crashed when you were in the middle of a game.1.
But back in the early days of computers, a woman named Grace Hopper was part of a team that discovered the very first computer bug.
2. She had been invited to help program a new computer, the job of which was to quickly deal with the math problems ships used to find their way.3. Then it translated the patterns of holes into the math problems it was supposed to solve.
One afternoon in 1947 Hopper and her team were running a program. But the computer wasn’t giving them the right results.4. They finally ended up taking the computer apart, looking for problems. What did they find? It was a moth (飞蛾)! The moth was blocking some of the holes in the paper—5. Some people think Hopper was the first person to use the word “debug” to mean “get rid of the problems in a computer”.
A. What could be wrong?
B. Hopper was a mathematician.
C. Who had operated the computer?
D. Hopper was a hardworking scientist.
E. She thought it was funny that it was a real one.
F. Or you got an error message when you tried to go to a website.
G. The computer worked by reading instructions from a long piece of paper with holes in it.
To control the nation’s growing problem with food wastage, the South Korean government has started a special initiative (倡议) ---“Pay as You Trash”. According to the initiative, the South Korean government has three methods in place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card — when users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the lid will open. This waste is automatically weighed and recorded in the user’s account. The user needs to settle this bill every month.
The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on the amount of space. For instance, in Seoul, a 10-liter garbage bag costs around 190 won (less than $1). There’s also a bar code management system in place, in which residents (居民) throw food waste directly into dustbins and pay for it by buying bar code stickers attached to the bin.
Even before the pay-by-weight system was introduced, South Koreans were still being charged for food waste — the cost was simply divided equally among the residents of each apartment block. The new system is not only fair, but is also designed to make consumers really feel the pinch of too much waste. The more food they throw out, the more they end up paying.
Thanks to the initiative, residents like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan are now adopting creative methods to avoid food waste. She makes sure to pour all the liquid out of leftover food before throwing it away. While preparing vegetables, she tries to use as much as the eatable parts as possible in order to reduce waste.
1.Why does the South Korean government decide to launch the initiative?
A. Food waste is worsening the environment.
B. More and more food wastes are produced.
C. People are complaining about food waste.
D. People have little knowledge of saving food.
2.Before the initiative was launched, the residents .
A. didn’t pay for their food waste
B. paid for their food waste by weight
C. had to pay for their food garbage bags
D. paid for food waste equally in their blocks
3.The underlined word “pinch” in Paragraph 3 means “ ”.
A. joy B. amount
C. pain D. cause
4.According to the text, the initiative “Pay as You Trash” .
A. is working effectively B. was thought to be unfair at first
C. has a quite high running cost D. is being performed all over the country
