9.Samuel Johnson Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 – 13 December 1784), often referred to as Dr Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, playwright, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor, and lexicographer. Religiously, he was a devout Anglican, and politically a committed Tory. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes Johnson as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history". He is the subject of James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson, described by Walter Jackson Bate as "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature". Born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, Johnson attended Pembroke College, Oxford, for just over a year, but a lack of funds forced him to leave. After working as a teacher, he moved to London, where he began to write for The Gentleman's Magazine. His early works include the biography Life of Mr Richard Savage, the poems London and The Vanity of Human Wishes, and the play Irene. After nine years of work, Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language was published in 1755. It had a far-reaching effect on Modern English and has been acclaimed as "one of the greatest single achievements of scholarship". This work brought Johnson popularity and success. Until the completion of the Oxford English Dictionary 150 years later, Johnson's was the pre-eminent British dictionary. His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of The Plays of William Shakespeare, and the widely read tale The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets. Johnson was a tall and robust man. His odd gestures and tics were disconcerting to some on first meeting him. Boswell's Life, along with other biographies, documented Johnson's behavior and mannerisms in such detail that they have informed the posthumous diagnosis of Tourette syndrome, a condition not defined or diagnosed in the 18th century. After a series of illnesses, he died on the evening of 13 December 1784, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. In the years following his death, Johnson began to be recognized as having had a lasting effect on literary criticism, and he was claimed by some to be the only truly great critic of English literature. 18.Which one is the last work of Samuel Johnson？
A、A Dictionary of the English Language
B、A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland
C、Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets
D、The Gentleman's Magazine
Samuel Butler, the great English author, predicted the view of the future world of machines in his novel Erewhon, published in 1872. Ever since, authors with less sense of satire (讽刺) than Butler have created tales of monster (怪物)machines that take over and destroy the world. In varying degrees, their imaginary monsters have the power of reproduction, which permitted them to multiply until they could capture and crush mankind.
Science today is not laughing at such extremes. Dr. J. Von Neumann, of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, very carefully considered the question: Cmn machines become highly organized enough to reproduce themselves？ His conclusion was that they may, provided they are complicated enough. Mathematically, a certain degree of complication seems to be necessary for reproduction. Below that, the iron mothers can only give birth to more primitive forms than themselves, and any "race" of robot monsters would soon lose the reproductive function.
If mathematicians are to be believed, we can rest fairly secure for a while yet. Human physiology (生理学) is still millions of times more complex than any giant brain. To copy the complexities of the human brain alone would be a shocking problem.
Transistors (晶体管) might reduce the super-giant to the size of a house and his power requirements to a few hundred kilowatts -- yet the human brain will fit into a cereal bowl and takes about twenty-five watts of power.
The author mentions Samuel Butler and other English writers' tales because______.
A．they teach logic to the readers
B．they show a sense of satire
C．they proved that machines can reproduce themselves
D．they described the imaginary future world of machines

In the world of tennis, the London International Tennis Tournament ended today. Samuel Cox of the United States was the winner with Lloyd Smith, of Great Britain, finishing second. Cox scored a decisive victory over Smith in his first major victory outside the United States. His victory also marked the first time that an American has won the London Tennis Tournament in over fifty years. The only other American to win it was Fred Jackson in 1938. Cox won the tournament quickly in three sets. He started out playing aggressively, and the overwhelmed Smith could not keep up with its overpowering serves. Cox took home the $ 500,000 cash prize and Smith received $ 350,000. When asked about the big victory, Cox stated he just hopes to be able to win again in next month's tournaments in Paris and Copenhagen.
In the world of soccer, Cuba upset Germany, last year's winner, in the opening games of the International Soccer Cup. The Cuban team won in a difficult match that lasted over five hours. The match was intense, and their victory shocked many who believed that the German team could easily defeat the relatively obscure Cuban team. The German coach, noticeably disappointed at their first, round loss, told reporters that he hopes to train his team harder for next year's tournament. Cuba will play Brazil in the next game tomorrow. Overjoyed at their surprise victory, they hope to continue this winning streak and eventually capture the tournament.
