19、ure. Labor-saving machines naturally appeared first where more labor was needed. “In Europe,“ said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make good use of their land, labor being abundant(充裕的); here it is to make good use of our labor, land being abundant.“ It was in America, therefore, that the great
20、advances in the 19th century agricultural machines first came.At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs; by 1860, most of the machines in use today had been designed in an early form
21、. One of the most important early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would have none of it, declaring that the iron poisoned the
22、 soil and made the weeds grow, however, many people devoted their attention to the plow; until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.36 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?（A）Agriculture advances were needed to help feed a growing po

26、 through 45.40 Most Americans have at least one credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. And they also make many banking services available. For many of us the “cashless society“ is already here.While compu
27、ters offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales.

28、ist of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments
