That little “a” with a circle curling around it that is found in E – mail addresses is most commonly referred to as the “at” symbol.

Surprisingly though, there is no official, universal name for this sign. There are dozens of strange terms to describe the "@" symbol.

Before it became the standard symbol for electronic mail, the "@" symbol was used to represent the cost of something or how heavy something is. For instance, if you purchased 6 apples, you might write it as 6 apples "@" $1.10 each.

With the introduction of e-mail came the popularity of the "@" symbol. The "@" symbol or the "at sign" separates a person's online user name from his mail server(服务器) address. For instance, joe@uselessknowledge.com. Its widespread use on the Internet made it necessary to put this symbol on keyboards in other countries that have never seen or used the symbol before. As a result, there is really no official name for this symbol.

The actual origin of the symbol remains a mystery. History tells us that the @ symbol came from the tired hands of the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages before the invention of printing machines, every letter of a word had to be copied with great efforts by hand for each copy of a published book. The monks that performed these long, boring copying duties looked for ways to reduce the number of individual strokes (笔画) per word for common words. Although the word “at” is quite short to begin with, it was a common enough word in text and documents so that those monks thought it would be quicker and easier to shorten the word “at” even more. As a result, the monks changed the shape of “t” into a circle to surround “a”, thus leaving out two strokes in the spelling “t”. 

45.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

         A.How “at” developed into @.     B.How @ came into being.

         C.How monks invented @.   D.How people wrote the cost of something.

46.Who knows the origin of @?

         A.Nobody      B.Monks        C.Apple buyers      D.Internet users

47.Which is NOT the reason for the monks to spell “at” as @?

         A.Though “at” is short, it was used very often.

         B.The monks wanted to be quicker and easier with their copying.

         C.The monks wanted to invent a new word.

         D.Copying work was long and boring for them.

48.According to the paragraph , which is TRUE about the symbol of @ today?

         A.When you are online, you must use the @ symbol.

         B.Kittly 163.com@is an email address.

         C.In countries where @ is used, governments have given it an official name.

         D.It is likely to find the @ symbol on computer keyboards worldwide.

(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.

Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.

He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.

“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”

Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.

When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.

Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.

The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.

In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.

   One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been in prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”

   Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house. A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope; he refused to take me to the middle of George Washington Bridge—a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”

   One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.

   “Let’s go across the park.” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $25,000.”

   “$25,000?” He asked.

   “Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”

   “No, man. I work 8 hours and I don’t make almost $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”

   As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.

   “Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”

   “No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” His reluctance may have something to do with money—taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low—but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.

1.. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ____.

   A. he was indifferent to the killing      B. he was afraid of the author

   C. he looked down upon the author     D. he thought the author was crazy

2.. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge?

   A. Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.

   B. Because he wanted to go home and relax.

   C. Because it was far away from his home.

   D. Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.

3..What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “to wait outside the Chemical bank”?

   A. The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.

   B. The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.

   C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.

   D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.

4.. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?

   A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.

   B. they often refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.

   C. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.

   D. They work only for money.

5.. The passage mainly discusses ____.

   A. how to please taxi drivers.

   B. how to deal with taxi drivers

   C. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal trouble

   D. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards troublesome taxi riders
