I got married just after I graduated from college and found a job to support our family at the nearby Massachusettes Institute of Technology （MIT）.It was in the laboratory of Prof.Edward Lorenz that I learned what a computer was and how to develop software.
   One day my husband saw a newspaper advertisement.The MIT Instrumentation Laboratory was looking for people to develop software to "send man to the moon".Deeply attracted both by the idea and the fact that it had never been done before，I became the first programmer to join and the first woman the lab hired.
At the beginning，nobody thought software was such a big deal.But then they began to realize how much they were relying on it.Our software needed to be very reliable and able to detect an error and recover from it at any time during the mission.
   My daughter，Lauren，liked to intimate me-playing astronaut.One day，she was with me when I was doing a simulation（模擬） of a mission to the moon.She started hitting keys and all of a sudden，she selected a program which was supposed to be run before launch.The computer had so little space that it wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon.I thought：my God-this could happen by accident in a real mission.I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight.But the higher-ups at MIT and NASA said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake.
   On the very next mission，Apollo 8，one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done. The Lauren bug!It created destruction and required the mission to be rearranged.After that，they let me put the program change in.It was the program change that had a crucial influence on the success of the mission of Apollo 11.
   During the early days of Apollo，software was not taken as seriously as other engineering disciplines（學(xué)科）.it was out of desperation I came up with the term "software engineering".Then one day in a meeting，one of the most respected hardware experts explained to everyone that he agreed with me that the process of building software should also be considered an engineering discipline，just like with hardware.It was a memorable moment.

D
D

A．She taught Lauren to write software.
B．She got her master's degree from MIT.

B
B

A．The in-time upload of data.

3．Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe，the highest divorce rate，and the highest percentage of women working outside the home．Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable，chaotic（混亂的）society，with loads of children，broken homes and absent mothers．But Iceland is the exception - its citizens are the happiest in the world．
   Perhaps the country's geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness．Located in the middle of the North Atlantic，with Greenland as its nearest neighbor，Iceland is free from the taboos（禁忌）that cause so much trouble elsewhere．For instance，people who divorce are not looked down upon by society．
   Icelanders are offsprings（后代）of the Vikings，a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th through the 10th century．This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day Iceland．Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked abroad，and most speak English．
   Perhaps as a result，Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe with the US to create its own welfare system．
   "Many of us have lived in the US，and studied there，" said the Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde． "We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the can-do attitude-- that if you work hard，anything can be done．"
   Indeed，the country is rich in writers，painters，film makers and musicians．There's Sigur Ros，a post-rock band，and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world．Half the population appears to have written a book．
   "Iceland has harsh（惡劣的） nature，with its bitter ever-changing weather，" said Haraldur Jonsson，a painter，sculptor and video and performance artist． "We cannot escape it．So we find ways________．We have to have a rich internal（內(nèi)在的）life to fill the empty spaces．"

（1）It is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring about

．
A．social problems
B．happiness
C．a(chǎn) unique welfare system
D．modern way of life
（2）Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for Icelanders' happiness？

A．Geographic location．
B．A rich internal life．
C．National pride．
D．Freedom from taboos．
（3）The most suitable phrase to fill in the blank in the last paragraph is

．
A．to get rid of it
B．to have it changed
C．to get away from it
D．to live with it
