22、At the beginning of the World Series of 1947，I experienced a completely new emotion，when the National Anthem was played． This time，I thought，it is being played for me，as much as for anyone else．This is organized major league baseball，and I am standing here with all the others；and everything that takes place includes me.

About a year later，I went to Atlanta，Georgia，to play in an exhibition game．On the field，for the first time in Atlanta，there were Negroes and whites．Other Negroesbesides me．And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.

And what is it that I have always believed？ First，that imperfections are human．But that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think，those imperfections would disappear，no matter how slowly．I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection．That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events．Handicaps，stumbling blocks，prejudices — all of these are imperfect．Yet，they have to be dealt with because they are in the scheme of human events.

Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder．But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all，except that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chance．It had a chance because it took place in a free society．Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object．Not once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at all．Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me；and so there was the probability of improvement．I look at my children now，and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.

But I can tell them，too，that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them．And to myself I can say that，because progress is unalterable，many of today's dogmas （教条）will havevanishedby the time they grow into adults．I can say to my children: There is a chance for you．No guarantee，but a chance．And this chance has come to be，because there is nothing static with free people．There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward． I do not believe that every person，in every walk of life，can succeed in spite of any handicap．That would be perfection．But I do believe — and with every fiber in me — that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us （no matter how slowly） the dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of today；and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.

I believe in the human race．I believe in the warm heart．I believe in man's honesty．I believe in the goodness of a free society．And I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it — and to fight against whatever imperfections may exist．My fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseball．This was the area where I found imperfection，and where I was best able to fight．And I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fight．It couldn't be a losing fight-not when it took place in a free society．And in the largest sense，I believe that what I did was done for me — that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fight．And that what was done for me must and will be done for others.

23、The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever “intelligent bicycle” , fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country．

Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research （TNO） , the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity．A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycle．

The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating （震动的） warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.

The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead．

" Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed," said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project．"The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry," he said．

' More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances," Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP．"This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling," she said．

In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country．Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury．

Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67% , were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office．The year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly．

The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller．

【1】The "intelligent bicycle” is aimed to ______．

A. protect the environment

B. help reduce traffic pressure

C. popularize the use of bicycles

D. improve safety for elderly cyclists

【2】Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when other cyclists approach it from behind?

A. The saddle． B. The wheels．

C. The handlebars． D. The onboard computer．

【3】We can learn from the passage that ______．

A. the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go

B. the elderly are planning to give up cycling

C. the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing

D. the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A. A Test Bicycle B. Elderly Cyclists

C. A Smart Bicycle D. A Bicycle-mad Country

24、The Entropia Universe

The Entropia Universe is a virtual world on the Internet, which seems very like our real life．It is set in a distant future and based on a planet called Calypso．Entropia was the brainchild of a group of Swedish computer lovers who decided to see if they could create a three dimensional (维度的) virtual world that could be placed on the Internet．They did manage after they received the financial backing they needed.

The game can be played for free, but nearly all in-game activities require personal resources that you have available to use．Although there are various activities to keep you busy on Calypso, what most people do first is to find themselves a profession, such as hunting the fierce animals on Calypso, mining the precious minerals and making tools．Then they can think about buying their virtual house or paying a visit to a virtual nightclub or doing any of the other activities that make life bearable．

Entropia has its very own economy (经济) and its own currency, the PED (Project Entropia Dollars)．Players move real world money into PED which they then use to pay for their life on Calypso．However, the virtual things inside Entropia do have a real value in the outside world, and careful business deals mean that players can actually make real money there．PED can be changed into dollars any time at a rate of 10PED to 1 US$．

What’s so impressive about The Entropia Universe is the number of players; currently more than 600,000 representing over 220 countries from planet Earth．A number of players insist that it’s a good way to make money．However, the reality of Entropia’s economic system is that most people end up paying more than they earn and it’s not uncommon to find players who are paying up to $200 a month into their PED account．This might not be the most economical way of spending one’s free time．However, some people say that for them the fact that they can escape the realities of the earthbound life and become a different person with a completely different life for a few hours every week is worth the use of money, even if they don’t get any interest rates on it．

【1】What can we learn about The Entropia Universe?

A．It costs nothing to join.

B．It focuses on business plans.

C．It is designed for computer lovers.

D．It presents what life is like on other planets.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．What people do on Calypso.

B．When people buy houses there.

C．How people make life bearable.

D．Why people often find a job first.

【3】According to the author, playing on The Entropia Universe ________.

A．may be very annoying

B．can be quite expensive

C．is a cheap way to kill time

D．is a good way to earn money

【4】What can be inferred about The Entropia Universe?

A．It is technical.

B．It is satisfying.

C．It is ridiculous.

D．It is educational.
