I immediately started _36_ and counting. After about two hundred licks or so, I stopped. The _37_ of the chewy center had proven to be too great, and I _38_ my way through the hard shell(外壳) to the very center. Besides, I _39_ knew how many licks it took to get to the centerthree. That's how many licks it took the owl(猫头鹰) in the commercial to get to the center, so that, to me, was the _40_ answer.In high school, I held to the Tootsie Pop _41_. To me, the answer was still always three licks.In my freshman year, I joined the Model United Nations _42_ in my school. The Chair position had _43_ the center of the Tootsie Pop and my _44_ had become various other students. The first socalled “owl” was Eric who had luckily _45_ the prestigious(声望高的) Chair position. So, I decided, _46_ Eric reached the center in only one lick, that's how many licks it should take me. I went to the tryouts with a view to obtaining the position but _47_At the end of my sophomore(高二) year, a new owl named Iris had _48_ achieved the chair position after trying twice. I began working hard again. But then again, I did not make a _49_ of it.Now, slightly frustrated after _50_ two owls, I found a new owl, Evan. It had taken him three licks to get to the “center”. Three was all I could _51_. It was widely known that senior year was the _52_ year to become Chair. I thought about _53_ the program, but on second thoughts, I decided to continue.Eleven years later, I visited the official Tootsie Pop website to find the real answer to the question that had _54_ me my entire high school life. I finally understood. However many licks it takes to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop depends on however many licks I _55_ to takenot how many the other owls take.()36.

By organizing a TEDx event, you can create a unique gathering in your community that will unleash(释放) new ideas, inspire and inform.Here, you'll find the complete set of rules for organizing a TEDx event, from start to finish. The rules are nonnegotiable and mandatory(强制的) for all TEDx event organizers because it's both our job and yours to maintain the integrity of the TEDx vision.Spirit/purpose: Your event must maintain the spirit of TED itself: focused on the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world.

The old guard is suffering: this week's $67 billion merger(合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively(分别), was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud. Disruptive(捣乱的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazon's cloudcomputing unit were a standalone public company, it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined.The gains for customers have been equally dramatic. Compared with older IT systems, cloud computing is often much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software. In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes. Their applications can be updated continually, rather than just every few months. Individual users can reach their emails, files and photos from any device. And cloud services also tend to be more secure, since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers.But cloud computing makes one problem worse. In the old IT world, once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “lockin” is even worse. Cloud providers go to great lengths to make it easy to upload data. They accumulate huge amounts of complex information, which cannot easily be moved to an alternative provider.Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, software and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you don't venture(冒险) outside their universe. Being locked in to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices. If a cloud provider goes bust(崩溃), its customers may have trouble getting back their data.These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation. Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them. That is too heavyhanded, because strict rules will inhibit(阻碍) innovation in what is still a young industry. The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers' demandsjust as in personal computers, where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems.In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lockin. Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected. So are those that keep their most important information in their own data centres. Consumers can take precautions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but don't mistake it for some sort of digital heaven.()58. The author takes “the merger between Dell and EMC” for example to show _A. the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makersB. the miserable sufferings of old computer companiesC. the rapid development of new computer companiesD. the interaction between old companies and newcomers()59. With wide applications of cloud computing customers can _A. pay less for the older IT systems B. gain more computing capacity quicklyC. know better about defeating the hackers D. ins
