27、Pressing the power button to turn off your computer can save time—but can it also damage your machine? Raise your hand if losing your computer would be a serious hindrance to your career, or if, at the very least, you’d lose a whole lot of important information. Yeah, us too. And yet we tend not to treat our computers with the care about this advantage; many of us are probably guilty of these things you’re doing that shorten your laptop’s life.

One of the directives you’ll commonly hear when it comes to computer upkeep (保养) is that you should shut down your computer properly by clicking the “Shut Down” button onscreen, rather than pressing and holding the “Power” button, so that it shuts down immediately. But when you click “Shut Down,” every program needs to close, and that can be time-consuming. How bad, really, is shutting your computer down with the power button?

“Shutting down a system properly is known as a ‘graceful shutdown’, which sends a signal to the respective operating system so that it can save its state before turning the hardware off,” a tech expert Damien Mason says. However, Mason adds that this forced shutdown can even be beneficial, in certain situations. “Hard shutdowns can be a saving grace when a system crashes or as a safety way to prevent hackers,” he says. But you still shouldn’t make a habit of doing it. Mason says that graceful shutdowns are still a preferred method, which avoids interrupting tasks conducted by the operating system and allows programs to properly save.

You should press the “Power” button carefully, but it’s not a death knell for your machine. There are plenty of other things you may be doing that are most likely worse. For instance, not shutting down your computer at all—or even only doing it rarely—can be far more damaging to it than a forced shutdown.

【3】Which of the following is mentioned in the text?

A．The situations of no pressing and holding the “Power”.

B．The problem about choosing the “Shut Down” onscreen.

C．The advantages of clicking the “Shut Down” onscreen.

D．The advice on developing a habit of pressing the “Power”.

【4】What does the last paragraph imply?

B．Computer upkeep is actually very difficult.

C．Forced shutdown will destroy the computer.

D．Think carefully before turning off the computer.

28、What’s in a logo?

What attracts customers?【1】 It is not only the image provided by the packaging that counts but the whole corporate identity (企业形象) of the company.

There are now many products and services on the market which are similar in content though produced by different companies. It is important, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable.

Logos are part of this image.【2】 The logo establishes a visual identity for the company, just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colours and symbols to show their identity.

【3】 Some colours may be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colours represent life in one culture but death in another. International companies have, therefore, to make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood or misinterpreted in different countries.

The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world.【4】 The design of the words “Coca Cola” has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time.

Companies need to have a strong corporate identity. The logo helps to promote this image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers.【5】

A. One of the most famous logos is that of Coca Cola.

B. Colour isn’t a strictly visual element; it’s very psychological.

C. In different cultures, different colours carry different meanings.

D. Logos, therefore, need to be original and to have impact and style.

E. There was a time when Coca Cola was struggling a bit with brand recognition.

F. Obviously the quality of a product does, but visual images contribute a great deal.

G. They are symbols which often include a name or the first letters of it to identify a company.

29、   Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. 【1】 There was a woman living there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
