　　The word horsepower（马力）was first used two hundred years ago . James Watt had made the world’s first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power .

　　The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors. Most of them are farmers. Many work in the mines, for mining is the most important industry on Bolivia’s. Of all the mining products, tin is the most important, which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivia’s exports. The eastern slopes of the Andes, since there are very few roads there, are fertile but not highly developed. The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters.

　　Moscow, Russia(Space news)---"The computer is a better chess player," insisted Viktor Prozorov,the loser." It seemed as if it were laughing after every good move. I know I should have beaten it for the sake of mankind(为人类着想），but I just couldn't win," he announced and shook his head sadly.

　　Prozorov's disappointment was shared by several grand masters who were present, some of whom were so upset that they shouted at the machine. Many chess players said that this meant the end of chess championships(锦标赛）around the world, since the fun had been taken out of the game.
