Belinda 剛收到一則消息，說一家英國(guó)公司有興趣買她的時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)公司，在與該公司會(huì)面前，她必須運(yùn)用一些電腦軟件來完成她的一些任務(wù)，首先，請(qǐng)閱讀下列關(guān)于電腦軟件的信息：

A．   Dreamweaver: Dreamweaver is the industry-leading web development tool, enabling users to efficiently design, develop and maintain websites and applications. Instead of spending hours writing the code required for a webpage, the designer can build the table, insert pictures and text as well as create web forms, by selecting the item they want and pasting it directly on the page. Dreamweaver automatically writes the code, and let the designer view it exactly as it will appear on a Web page.

B．   Excel: Excel is spreadsheet applications useful for management of data and performing calculations, such as totaling a column of numbers or generating a more sophisticated formula to calculate some statistical measure on a list of numbers. Excel also allows this data to be presented in a graphical form using its report’s function.

C．   Gimp: Gimp is a freely available, open-source image-editing and graphics creation software application similar to Photoshop. It can be used to colour, correct and sharpen pictures; make great looking reproduction of not-so-great looking photographs; and create a huge range of different graphics and logos.

D．  Firefox: Firefox is an increasingly popular web browser, a program that provides a way to look at and interact with all the information on the World Wide Web. In addition to displaying images and text, Firefox is able to present a range of different multimedia information including sound and video. After only 3 years Firefox is already the second most popular browser in the world after Microsoft Internet Explorer.

E．   WordPerfect: WordPerfect is a word processor software package that allows you to create, save and print letters, papers, and other documents. It has many writing tools and advanced features that allow you to change or edit your work, create tables, insert images, modify the text size, style and colour and do spelling and grammar checks.

F．   Outlook: Microsoft Outlook Express is an email and news client bundled with operating systems and the Internet Explorer web browser by Microsoft, and also available as a no-charge download for the “classic” Apple Macintosh operating system（although not for the newer Macintosh computers, where it has been replaced by Microsoft Entourage, which costs money as part of Microsoft Office）

請(qǐng)閱讀下列關(guān)于任務(wù)的信息，然后匹配任務(wù)與完成任務(wù)所需要的軟件：

77.     Company accounts: Belinda must present the interested buyer with the full details of the company’s economic performance over the past 2 years as well as sales and profit estimates for the next 6 months. She is required to calculate and display her total sales to all retailers, all revenue earned from those sales, employee payment and other operating cost and finally overall profits.

78.     Image updates: She wants to improve the quality of pictures of her current fashion designs so she can send them as part of the letter of introduction and also post them on the web. In addition she wants to design a new company logo that will appear on all her business letters and on her website.

Both warm-blooded and cold-blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat. Warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows. At night they search for food. Animals that are out during the day, such as cold-blooded lizards and snakes, are active only for short periods. As their body temperature rises, these reptiles move into the shade in order to cool down. In the early evening, when the sun grows weaker, the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again.

Getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. Some desert animals, such as the kangaroo rat and the related jerboa, get water only from the food that they eat. Because these animals eat mainly dry seeds, they must survive on a tiny amount of water.

Most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. Yet even these creatures have adapted to desert conditions. When small amounts of water collect in temporary streams, the desert-living frogs and toads become active. After a rainfall, they lay their eggs. The eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks. When the puddles dry up, the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. Their metabolism（新陳代謝）slows, and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain, which may be as good as a year away. Until then, their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate.

The camel---often called the ship of the desert---is one of the most successful desert animals. Camels can go for long periods without water, but eventually they must drink. When water becomes available to them after a long drought, they may drink 95 liters of water or more. When water is not available, what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps. A camel’s hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat. Fat is rich in hydrogen. As the fat is digested, hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes. The result is H₂O, or water. Each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water.

In the past, travel was considered an essential part of education. Poets and writers realized the _41_ of travel and went out to other countries in search of _42_. A man’s education was not completed until he had visited foreign lands.

But there are many things they cannot describe effectively. They have to be seen and felt. Besides, not all can understand everything that they _50_ about people away from their homes.
