Waston won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (南部象棋大师) in 1977. He was given the silver (银) cup.

Mrs Prag, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. ‘He's only ten.’she said, ‘I've been told that he plays quite well.’
“Well,as you can guess, I wasn't too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick──and so it was.
“Ｉsoon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board.
" 'all me when you are ready, Mr Watson,' he said.
“When I was ready?I looked up.He had gone off to play with his sis- ter.I studied the board──and found I was driven into corner.So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board,then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten,oh so easily,by a ten-year-old chess player.He was the winner── in twenty-eight minutes.

Have you ever seen a horse with toes(脚趾)? Millions of years ago, horses had many toes. They had four toes on each front foot. They had three toes on each back foot. The horses were smaller than cats.
These small horses lived in the forest. Their many toes helped the horses run over the soft wet ground.

Horses began to change too.They began to get bigger.This took a long time. On the dry hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time horses had only one hard toe on each foot. We call this hard toe a hoof(马蹄).

Excused from recycling(回收利用) because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道)? You won't be for long . Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too .
In Shantzis' Hi-Rise Recycling System , a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated . The system , which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use , enables glass , plastic , paper , metal , and other rubbish to go into separate boxes .
The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door . The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button , a microcomputer locks all other floors' chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute . The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full . And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables
Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting . Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive , so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted . Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.
72. The purpose in writing this text is _________.
A.to encourage people to recycle their rubbish

74. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to _______
A.lock the other floors' chute doors
B.check if the container is full
C.press the correct button D.break up the rubbish
75. The biggest advantage of this new system is that ___
A.it readuces the cost of recycling
B.it saves time and space
C.it saves money for people living in high rises
D.it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment

Excused from recycling(回收利用) because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道)? You won't be for long . Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too .
In Shantzis' Hi-Rise Recycling System , a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated . The system , which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use , enables glass , plastic , paper , metal , and other rubbish to go into separate boxes .
The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door . The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button , a microcomputer locks all other floors' chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute . The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full . And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables
Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting . Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive , so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted . Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.
