   Computers have many uses today. Computers can solve difficult problems and control other machines. Many people use small computers called calculators(計算器) to solve simple maths problems quickly. Scientists use large computers to solve many problems at the same time. You can play games with computers, and some computers can help you learn languages. The Kurzweil Reading Machine is a special kind of computer. It can read books for blind people.

   To use the Kurzweil machine, a blind person can simply open the book and put it down on the scanner(掃描器). The machine “reads” the words on the page. When one page is finished, the blind person turns the page and puts the book on the scanner again. The Kurzweil machine can read in a normal voice or in a special fast voice. It can read words with small letters and large letters.

   Blind people like the Kurzweil machine because they can “read” anything with it: newspapers, magazines, books, even typed letters. Many libraries now have Kurzweil machine for blind people to use. The Kurzweil machine can also help shortsighted children learn to read.

   Each of us would like to be trusted by parents, because we all want to get freedom. Parents are more likely to give us our freedom if they trust us. If you want your parents to trust you more, you have to show them through your actions.

   Let your parents know what’s going on at school and with your friends. If you truly can be trusted, then you have nothing to hide, right? Keep your bedroom door open when you are back. Do not be crazy when they see what you are looking at on the Internet. Invite your friends to your house to meet your parents.

   When you do something wrong, it can break trust. Broken trust takes a long time to rebuild.

   It’s not easy dealing with your parents when you’ve broken their trust. But, it can be done. It’s not talking about groveling (低聲下氣) and sweet-talking them into trust. I’m talking about getting them to respect you again.

   I find it easy to make the mistake of no telling my parents things I’ve done wrong, hoping they won’t find out. There are lots of reasons:

   I don’t want to get into trouble;

    I don’t want them to be disappointed or get mad at me;

   I don’t want to lose their trust;

   I don’t think they will ever find out.

   And the list goes on and on. But they find out somehow, and then you’re in hot water. Of course, even if Mom and Dad never find out, you still know about.

   Most parents will respect you more for coming to them and telling them yourself. Doing so shows honesty, responsibility and maturity (成熟). If you can’t tell them face to face, you can try writing a note.

   Trust can’t be built in a day or even a week, but you can gradually do things to help your parents build trust in you.

52. What should you do if your parents don’t trust you according to the passage?

   A. Talk to them in a sweet voice.                  B. Tell them not to be disappointed.

   C. Introduce your friends to them.                D. Get their respect and trust by actions.

53. What’s the meaning of the phrase “in hot water”?

   A. 在熱水里           B. 遇到麻煩         C. 想喝熱水         D. 洗熱水澡

54. Which of the following is TRUE?

   A. It’s easy for children to tell their parents the things they have done wrong.

   B. The parents will respect and trust you more if you tell them yourself.

   C. Trust can be rebuilt soon if children make mistakes.

   D. Parents never believe their children if trust is broken.

55. The best title of the passage is _____.

   A. Parents Should Respect Children                     B. Children Want More Freedom

   C. How Can Children Be Trusted Again         D. How Can Children Get out of Trouble
