Liang liang is no longer the boy he used to be he has changed greatly.                

      The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.

       In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people---- just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a general truth both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence .

       Researchers have estimated  that as many as 80 percent of all automobile  accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort（歪曲） drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise clear. The experts warn that it is necessary for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s  emotions under control.

       Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers, Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the mad.

       Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been both at the point of manufacture and through periodic mad-worthiness inspection. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the mad.

       Over the past 10 years, technologies that have combined computers with telephone have developed. Technologies such as PC fax programs and  LAN fax servers（局域网传真服务器）have been used to improve fax communications. The latest computer-based technologies are new mechanisms（机制）which use IP（Internet Protocol, 因特网协议） to send faxes, that is, IP fax..

       Traditional fax has a fairly simple usage model. First, the user inserts a document into the fax machine, enters the destination fax number and presses the starts button on the machine. The sending machine dials the receiving fax machine.  If it connects, the sending machine scans the documents and sends it over the public switched telephone network（PSTN，公共电话交换网） to the receiving machine. At the same time, the receiving machine receives the document and then prints it.

       In IP fax system there are two basic transmission modes: store-and-forward mode and real-time mode. Store-and-forward mode has been widely used. In this mode, the entire document is sent to a network-based server that stores it and then sends it to the destination. Real-time IP faxing is similar to traditional fax. Real-time mode allows two fax machines to directly communicate through some standard.

       IP fax enabled a fax document to be sent from one person to another. A fax machine or a computer can be used to send or receive the fax. IP fax also allows e-mail to be used to receive  faxes. This would enable users to receive faxes anywhere, anything with an internet fax address.

67．The passage is mainly about      .

A．IP fax                                       B．PC fax

C．traditional fax                              D．the development of fax communications

68．In traditional fax,       can be used.

    C．e-mail                                                   D．only fax machines

69．IP fax can use all of the following to send and receive a fax except      .

    A．a fax machine                              B．a receiving machine

    B．a computer                                  D．e-mail

70．In paragraph 2, the word “inserts” can be replaced by      .

A．prints          B．presses               C．puts           D．uses

Anyone who is interested in study will welcome the latest development in classroom technology. School pupils equipped with hand-held keypads（键盘）connected wirelessly to electronic whiteboards（白色书写板）can now answer teachers questions―without their classmates knowing. The electronic“student response system”is aimed at 4-to-11- year-olds

Stephen Jury, the company’s chief manager, says the system helps teachers with the continuous assessment of pupils, and encourages shy children to voice opinions and become more active in class.

According to the Department of Education and Skills, ICT（information and communications technology）spending for schools has more than doubled since 1998.

“If anything, it will probably increase,”says David Todman, Dell’s UK schools manager.“To achieve what the government wants in education, there is nothing it can do but increase expenditure on IT.”

The education white paper Higher Standards, Better Schools for All, looks to IT to help the government achieve two aims―lessons tailored to（适应）different pupils’ needs and connecting parents more closely with choosing and running schools. It notes that more than 80% of secondary schools now have websites.“Parents and pupils will be able to see exactly what’s on offer, how well the school is doing, and the future direction it plans to take.”Parents can log on（登录）to the school’s IT system to look at their child’s reports, attendance records and information about homework.

Nearly everyone agrees that more needs to be done to make sure that computers are used properly in schools. Stephen Jury says that Britain needs to follow the US in developing the rules of“educational technology”rather than leaving e-learning in the hands of IT departments.
