In order to communicate with each other, these computers use special communication software. To connect to the Internet, the user instructs the computer’s communication software to 26 the Internet Service Provider, or ISP. An ISP is a company that provides Internet service to 27 , organizations, or companies, usually for a monthly 28 . Local ISPs connect to larger ISPs, which in turn connect to even larger ISPs.

So it is through this process that everyone on the Internet is able to connect with each other,no matter where they are in the world. So how does information leave one computer,travel 32 all of these networks,and arrive at another computer so quickly?It only takes a fraction of a second. Well,the process depends on routers.Routers are 33 computers that direct the information through the networks.The information, in an e-mail message,a Web page,or a file is first 34 down into tiny packets.Each of these packets has the address of the sender and of the receiver,and information on how to put the packets back together.The packets are then sent off through the Internet.So when a packet 35 router,the router reads its destination address.The router then decides on the best route to send the packet to its destination.All the packets might take the same route or they might all go different routes.And finally,when the packets reach their destination,they are put back into the correct order.

knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion,happiness and security.As a result,they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living.Some stay long at a job and learn to like it;others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them.The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution.Nearly all grope in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like.They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or,even more important,whether the job suits them.Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependents with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and,in many ways,determines social status in life, selection of friends,leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest.Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest,for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck and a bitter person. 36.The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they A)have ruined their talents B)have taken on an unsuitable job

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate,and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course,though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade,which is recorded,and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers..All this imposes(实加)a constant(持续不断的)pressure and strain of work,but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.The student organizations are effective in ensuring that the students observe university regulations.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules,for example,by cheating has to appear before a student court.With the enormous numbers of students,the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 41.Normally an American university student would attend courses for a degree. 9
