Making Electronics Think

There is one thing in the world that’s smaller than your fingernail. But without it, almost all of our electronic products might not work. It’s the microchip (芯片)! It is one of the most important inventions in human history. How much do you know about microchips? Here are some basics for you to learn it.
What are microchips?
Microchips aren’t potato chips! They are very tiny electronic devices (设备) that people use to store and manage information. There are mainly two types of microchips: logic chips and memory chips. Logic chips are like the “brain” of electronic devices-they deal with information to finish a task. Memory chips store information.
How are microchips used?
Microchips are in everything electrical from computers to cellphones, TVs, cameras, cars, airplanes, appliances and medical equipment. Microchips are also used in GPS tracking devices and identification cards and are used to keep track of activities and information.
Microchips take and process digital information and make it usable straightaway. For example, a Central Processing Unit (CPU), or processor, is the main chip in a computer. It’s responsible for carrying out all the computer’s tasks.
How small can microchips be?
One microchip is smaller than a button on your shirt but it has billions of transistors (晶体管). So it’s easy to understand just how small the features on a chip need to be. Chip features are measured in nanometers (纳米). A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The smaller the features in the patterns created, the more transistors can fit on a chip, and the more the chip can do.
16. What makes electronics think according to the passage?
A. Microchips. B. Computers. C. GPS. D. Brains.
17. How many types of microchips are mentioned in the passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

C. A button on your shirt has billions of transistors.
D. CPU is responsible for carrying out all the computer’s tasks.
19. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The size of the microchips. B. The kinds of the microchips.
C. The price of the microchips. D. The usage of the microchips.
20. In which part of a magazine can you most likely read the text?
A. Science. B. Fashion. C. Health. D. Culture
C
You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We can not change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.
You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated”. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.

A. what’s important for a student

B. Believe you are always right.
C. Expect everybody to be the same.
D. Change yourself to please other people.
