  Passage 1
  
  Computers are very versatile. They can do many things such as teaching, playing games, or helping with a business, so choosing a computer is not an easy, simple job. But if you follow these steps, you will find it easier.
  
  First, decide on the main reasons why you want a computer. Is this computer very useful for you? Is the most important reason to play games or to help with your business or to help with your schoolwork?
  Second, look carefully at the programs the computer can use. Some people also write their own programs. If you want to write your own, it is important to look at the computer language. Is it easy to learn?
  Third, decide the smallest, or the least needs you have for your computer. What are the characteristics you would like to have? For example, do you want a typewriter keyboard? Is a color display important to you? Your use of the computer will help you decide which characteristics are necessary, which are nice, and which are unnecessary.
  
  Fourth, when you have limited your choices to a few computers, look at the secondary uses and programs. For example, if your main reason for buying a home computer is to play games, you may take computer A instead of computer B because computer A can also be used as a word processor.
  
  Fifth, think of the price. There are prices to think about. The first price is the price you must pay to take the computer home. The second is the price of additional programs and possible additions that you might want to buy at a later date.
  
  Be sure to try out the computer before you buy it. Sales people at computer shops are happy to help you choose the computer that will best fit your needs and cost you least.

  Passage 2
  
  The scenery around Sherman is savage. Several famous peaks are said to be noticeable in the far distance. I have read a statement to the effect that Long's Peak, one of the main mountains of Colorado, 75 miles to the southwest, and Pike's peak, 165 miles to the south, are both clearly visible. To the north, Elk Mountain is another well-known landmark, about 100 miles distant. It is possible that these mountains may have been seen in a vision by the writer of guide books, but to the eye of the ordinary and unimaginative traveller they are invisible. What he does see to the left of the line looking westward is the snow-capped range of the Wasatch Mountains. On the right are rough and irregular hills dotted over with dark pines. These are Black Hills of Wyoming. A huge mass of red rock stands forth here and there on the lonely plain. Most welcome to eyes are the patches of red and yellow wild flowers which grow healthily among the short brown grass. It is with a feeling of relaxation that Sherman station is left behind.
  
  61.To the north of Sherman is ______.
  
  A. Pike's Peak  B. Elk Mountain
  
  C. Long's Peak  D. the Wesatch Mountains
  
  62.A pleasant sight to the traveller is that of the ______.
  
  A. pine trees  B. wild flowers
  
  C. Black Hills  D. grass
  
  63.The writer makes it clear that ______.
  
  A. one needs an excellent imagination to see the mountains described in the guide books
  
  B. the guidebook writer could see all the mountains
  
  C. the ordinary traveller does not notice the things around him
  
  D. Elk Mountain was visible from Sherman
  
  64.The writer's feeling on leaving Sherman is one of ______.
  
  A. sorrow  B. anger
  
  C. satisfaction  D. disappointment

  A. beautiful  B. unusual
