I was brought up in a small town in the countryside. Growing up in the countryside offered lots of advantages for young people. The only problem was that we often got into trouble as we made up stories that we 1 out around town. I can remember a ridiculous 2 in particular.

  One day on the way back from school, we came up with the 3 idea to make out that we were pirates(海盜) looking for 4 . My best friend Tom said that he made out a 5 in the distance. We all ran to hide and 6 a number of rocks to use for ammunition(彈藥)7 the ship as we got ready to put together our plan of 8   . We were ready to set off on our 9   . We 10 went along the path until we were face to face with our 11    ―the postman's truck!The postman was dropping off a package at Mrs Brown's house, so we 12 his truck. At that point, we 13 didn't have any idea about what we were going to do next. The radio was playing in the cab(駕駛室) ，so we 14 it down to discuss what we would do next. Jack was all for 15 the engine and getting away with the stolen 16  ！Of course， we were just children，17 the idea of actually making off with a truck was too much for us to believe. We all broke out in 18 laughter at the thought of us driving down the road in this stolen postal truck. 19 for us,the postman came running towards us shouting, "What are you kids up to?" Of course, we all got out of that truck as quickly as we could and 20 down the road.

Many years have passed but the experience remains fresh in my memory.

 Max Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music. He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments. He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.

  In 1957 ，Max Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound and play it back. At the time,he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. His computer program was called Music. It enabled a large IBM computer to play a sev?enteen-second piece of music that he had written. The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds. For that reason, Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.

  The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the1960s. He heard a computer "sing" the song"Daisy Bell" on devices and programs developed by Max Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book"2001: A Space Odyssey," which was later made into a movie.

  Max Mathews had a long and productive career. He worked with composers like John Cage and Edgard Varese. He helped create a center for research in computer music in Paris. And he taught at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics in Stanford University in California.

  Mathews believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of computer music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin, but with a computer, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He said he did not want computer sounds to replace live music. But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments. 

(   ) 1. Mathews was likely to think that .

     A. the first piece of computer music wasn't music indeed

    B. the first piece of computer music was too short

    C. the IBM computer was fit for creating slow music

    D. the first computer music was of vital technical importance 

(   ) 2. Which of the following is true?

     A. Clarke helped develop computer music.

    B. Mathews became a character in a movie later on.

    C. Computer music was mentioned in Clarke's book.

    D. Clarke saw Mathews operate a singing computer.

(   ) 3. Which of the following words best describes Mathews?

A. Strange.    B. Creative.    C. Outgoing.    D. Curious.

(   ) 4. It is implied in the last paragraph that         .

     A. modern musicians don't understand computer music

    B. a violin does make much better sounds than a computer

    C. a computer can help improve sounds of traditional musical instruments

    D. laptops are more suitable to be used as serious musical instruments

 I'll never forget that interview with the "Careers" department at school when they asked me "What do you want to be when you grow up?" For me,it was always obvious. From a very young age,I wanted to be a journalist and write for a living.

  My mother still has the very first stories I ever wrote，including a tale about a young girl who cheered up a sad angel, When I went to university, I really didn't learn half as much as I did until I was in the world of work.

  Being a journalist does require some necessary personality traits. You have to have a " nose for news". You also have to have a lot of confidence as you could be interviewing top business leaders, celebrities and even politicians.
