Microsoft PowerPoint is the world’s mostcommon presentation tool. It emerged from softwarecompany Forethought Inc in the 1980s. Bob Gaskinswas the man behind it.
“I knew in the early 80s that there were asmany as a billion, a thousand million presentationslides being made per year just in America,” Gaskins says,“ but they wereall made by hand and almostnobody was using computers to do them.
“It was clear to me that here was a hugeapplication worth billions and billions of dollars ayear that could be done on computers as soon asthere was a revolution in the kinds of computers thatwe had.”
Gaskins was onto something, but it was a hardsell at the time. The software wouldn’t run on anyexisting personal computers. Anyone wanting to useit had to buy a new machine. Even so, people boughtpersonal computers for the first time in order tobe able to use PowerPoint, says Wired magazine journalist Russell Davies.
Davies explains that before PowerPoint, peopleused slides to convey information to groups --- butanyone creating a presentation had to send away toget their materials made. It took a long time to do, was difficult to make changes and because it was soexpensive, only the most senior people in anorganisation got to do it.
“ PowerPoint,” Davies says,“made it possible for everyone in an organisation to standup and saytheir piece.”
PowerPoint has helped turn us all intopresenters --- but it’ s also been accused ofover-simplifying ideas and distracting (干扰)us fromclear thinking.
Sarah Kaplan is a management professor atthe University of Toronto’s Rotman School ofManagement. She has noticed that, rather thanpeople asking for new analysis or insights inmeetings, they were asking for more PowerPointslides.
Kaplan says that some CEOS, such as Amazon’sJeff Bezos, have banned its use. “He felt, and I thinkmany people feel, that PowerPoint became such anobject of the process that they lost the ideas inside ofit and that is the risk.”
28. What drove Bob Gaskins to develop PowerPoint?
A. His personal needs at the office.
B. The support from Forethought Inc.
C. The great potential market demand.
D. His interest in science and technology.
29. What was the problem with Bob Gaskin’sPowerPoint in the 1980s?
A. It was very expensive.
B. It was very difficult to use.
C. It couldn’t t be used on old computers.
D. It couldn’t satisfy young people’s needs.
30. What might be Russell Davies’s attitude toPowerPoint?
A. Critical. B. Appreciative. C. Cautious. D. Contradictory.
31. Why does Jeff Bezos ban the use of PowerPoint?
A. It fails to solve practical problems.
B. It fails to convey messages effectively.
C. It makes something valuable unavailable.
D. It results in creative thinking getting ignored.

Naturalist John Muir called the Marin Countywoods named for him “the best tree-lover'smonument that could possibly be found in all theforests of the world.”
Located only 11 miles north of the Golden GateBridge near San Francisco, California, USA. MuirWoods puts some of nature's most huge creationswithin reach of little feet, hands, and imaginations.
“Muir Woods is home to a small forest ofredwood trees that reach to the sky,” says DavidShaw of the Golden Gate National ParksConservancy. “Redwoods grow taller than any othertree species in the world. The average age of theredwoods here ranges from 400 to 800 years old andmany ancient specimens have been around for morethan a thousand years.”
William Kent, the man who donated the 295acres to create the Muir monument, grew
up inMarin and played in similar redwood forests. Thatchildhood experience inspired him to save theredwoods as an adult.
“Young people can learn about young William Kent when they visit here,” says ranger(护林员) Timothy Jordan. “Kent’s early connection withnature developed his love of the outdoors. As anadult, he witnessed the destruction of many BayArea redwood forests. This, with the writings ofJohn Muir, inspired Kent's conservationism.”
Walking (and playing)in, on, and around theredwoods will help kids understand why young Kent was so fascinated(深深吸引) by the trees. Ranger Jordan encourages children to lie down and look upat the treetops, hug a redwood tree, and start a naturejournal like John Muir.
“Have kids find a redwood spray(小树枝)the same ageas them, count the rings in trees, andsitinside of a hollow redwood tree on Fern Creek.” headvises.
After all the interaction,the kids just may beready to rest. Take this time to“be quiet and listen tothe sounds of the forest,”says Shaw. "Encouragekids to think about how these trees have stood quietly through year after year of rain, sun, andsometimes even snow.”
32. What do we know about Muir Woods fromShaw's words?
A. It is America s largest redwood forest.
B. It has redwoods of a very great age.
C. It receives child visitors only.
D. It is home to many rare trees.
33. Which was one of the reasons that Kent wantedto protect the redwoods?
A. He had an unusual adult life.
B. The Golden Gate Bridge was constructed.
C. He was inspired by the works of John Muir.
D. The redwood forests attracted a lot of youngpeople.
34. What are children advised to do when taking abreak in the forest?
A. Experience Muir Woods silently.
B. Look for special redwood sprays.
C. Sit inside of a hollow redwood tree.
D. Write a nature journal like John Muir.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
