B: Lesson S1
*:_S_R_L0
T: SPEED PRACTICE SERIES
:
:The S series of lessons is designed to help you improve your typing speed
:and accuracy. It is assumed that you have already learned how to touch
:type either from a previous course in touch typing or from the T series of
:these lessons.
:
:You can use this series even if you do not know how to touch type. But, it is
:recommended that you at least learn to touch type most of the letters of the
:alphabet before starting this series. When you encounter a letter or symbol
:which you have not learned, you will have to look. This is a very bad habit to
:get into and is hard to break. (You needn't worry if you only need to glance
:down for unusual keys, like the dollar sign.)
*:_S_R_L1
T: RULES OF THE GAME
:
:I will display a paragraph on the screen. You should then type the entire
:paragraph as quickly and as accurately as possible. As you type each
:character, I will immediately check it for accuracy. If it was right, I won't
:do anything. But, if you made a mistake, I will beep and write that letter in
:inverse video (a black character on a white background). You can ignore the
:error and continue going; or, you can backup and correct it with the DELETE
:or BACKSPACE keys. (I will still count it as an error though.)
:
:I will also be timing you. From the time you type the first character until
:you hit the final carriage return, my stop watch will be going. At the
:end of the paragraph, I will tell you your rating (in words-per-minute).
:
:If you made too many mistakes, try the next paragraph slower. If you made no
:mistakes or only one or two, try the next one faster.
I:First, a quick warm-up.
*:_S_R_L2
S:The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.
I:Once more:
*:_S_R_L3
S:The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.
I:If the cursor is on a blank line, type return to skip it
*:_S_R_L4
S:Dear Sirs:
:
:I have just purchased a Heathkit H89 computer system and would
:like to order two boxes of diskettes for it. This system uses
:5 1/4 inch, hard-sectored, ten-sector, single-sided, single-
:density diskettes.
:
:Enclosed is my check for $45.00. Please rush this order, as I
:can not use my system before they arrive.
:
:Sincerely,
:
:Mr. Smith
*:_S_R_L5
S:Dear Sirs:
:
:Thank you for sending the diskettes so promptly. How-
:ever, the diskettes which you sent are for soft-sectored
:drives. As I stated in my original letter my system
:accepts only ten-sector, hard-sectored diskettes.
:
:I will return these two boxes as soon as I receive the
:correct ones.
:
:Sincerely,
:
:Mr. Smith
*:_S_R_L6
S:Dear Mr. Smith:
:
:Thank you for informing us that the diskettes which you pur-
:chased from us are not satisfactory. We are sorry for the
:inconvenience you have been caused in this transaction.
:
:We shall be glad to replace the diskettes you now have or to
:allow you to select a different brand. If you will let us know
:your wishes we shall be glad to give the matter our immediate
:attention.
:
:We hope you will give us the opportunity to prove to you that
:this incident is most unusual and that we do strive to render
:to our customers an efficient and courteous service at all
:times.

:In this lesson we will practice some quotes by some famous (and not
:so famous) people.
I:Marcus Aurelius
*:_S_R_L8
S:A man can live well even in a palace.
I:Ralph Waldo Emerson
*:_S_R_L9
S:My chief want in life is someone who shall make me do what I can.

*:_S_R_L10
S:No man can be called friendless when he has God and the
:companionship of good books.
I:Ralph Waldo Emerson

*:_S_R_L13
S:There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest men.
I:Goethe
*:_S_R_L14
S:Tell me what you are busy about, and I will tell you what you are.
I:Gelett Burgess
*:_S_R_L15
S:If in the last few years you haven't discarded a major opinion or
:acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead.
I:James B. Conant
*:_S_R_L16
S:Democracy is a small hard core of common agreement, surrounded
:by a rich variety of individual differences.
I:Albert Einstein
*:_S_R_L17
S:I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
I:Harry S. Truman
*:_S_R_L18
S:Men often mistake notoriety for fame, and would rather be
:remarked for their vices than not be noticed at all.
I:Will Rogers
*:_S_R_L19
S:I could study all my life and not think up half the amount
:of funny things they can think of in one session of Congress.
I:Ralph Waldo Emerson
*:_S_R_L20
S:Hospitality consists in a little fire, a little food and an immense quiet.
I:H. L. Mencken
*:_S_R_L21
S:Puritanism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
I:William James
*:_S_R_L22
S:When you have to make a choice and don't make it, that is in itself a choice.
I:James Holt McGravran.
*:_S_R_L23
S:There is a way of transferring funds that is even faster
:than electronic banking. It is called marriage.
I:Woody Allen
*:_S_R_L24
S:Showing up is 80 percent of life.
I:Robert Frost
*:_S_R_L25
S:A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
I:Louis Pasteur
*:_S_R_L26
S:When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments: tenderness
:for what he is, and respect for what he may become.

B: Lesson S3
*:_S_R_L27
T:
:In this lesson you will be given several excerpts from the classics.
:Take your time and type them carefully.
I:A Christmas Carol, Stave One, Marley's Ghost
*:_S_R_L28
S:Now, it is a fact, that there was nothing at all par-
:ticular about the knocker on the door, except that it
:was very large. It is also a fact, that Scrooge had
:seen it, night and morning, during his whole residence
:in that place; also that Scrooge has as little of what
:is called fancy about him as any man in the city of
:London, even including--which is a bold word--the
:corporation, aldermen, and livery. Let it also be
:borne in mind that Scrooge had not bestowed one
:thought on Marley, since his last mention of his
:seven year's dead partner that afternoon. And then
:let any man explain to me, if he can, how it happened
:that Scrooge, having his key in the lock of the door,
:saw in the knocker, without its undergoing any inter-
:mediate process of change--not a knocker, but Mar-
:ley's face.
I:Gulliver's Travels, Chapter One, A Voyage to Lilliput
*:_S_R_L29
S:When I awaked it was just daylight. I attempted to rise, but I
:found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to
:the ground; and my hair, which was long and thick, tied to the
:ground in the same manner. I likewise felt several slender
:ligatures across my body, from my armpits to my thighs. I
:could only look upward; the sun began to grow hot, and the
:light offended my eyes. I heard a confused noise about me;
:but in the posture I lay could see nothing except the sky. In a
:little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg,
:which, advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up
:to my chin; when bending my eyes downward as much as I could, I
:perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a
:bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back. In the
:mean time I felt at least forty more of the same kind (as I
:conjectured) following the first.
I:Treasure Island, Chapter IV, "The Sea Chest", by Stevenson.
*:_S_R_L30
S:I lost no time, of course, in telling my mother all that
:I knew, and perhaps should have told her long before,
:and we saw ourselves at once in a difficult and dangerous
:position. Some of the man's money--if he had any--was
:certainly due to us; but it was not likely that our
:captain's shipmates, above all the two specimens seen by
:me, Black Dog and the blind beggar, would be inclined to
:give up their booty in payment of the dead man's debts.
:The captain's order to mount at once and ride for Dr.
:Livesey would have left my mother alone and unprotected,
:which was not to be thought of. Indeed, it seemed
:impossible for either of us to remain much longer in the
:house: the fall of coals in the kitchen grate, the very
:ticking of the clock, filled us with alarms.
I:Treasure Island, Chapter IV, "The Sea Chest", by Stevenson.
*:_S_R_L31
S:The neighborhood, to our ears, seemed haunted by
:approaching footsteps; and what between the dead
:body of the captain on the parlor floor, and the thought
:of that detestable blind beggar hovering near at hand,
:and ready to return, there were moments when, as the
:saying goes, I jumped in my skin for terror. Something
:must speedily be resolved upon; and it occurred to us at
:last to go forth together and seek help in the neighbor-
:ing hamlet. No sooner said than done. Bareheaded as we
:were, we ran out at once in the gathering evening and
:the frosty fog.

T:
:In this lesson you will be given several soliloquies from
:Shakespeare's plays. The spelling and punctuation are
:quite hard. Take your time and type them carefully.
I:Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene II (Capulet's Garden).
*:_S_R_L33
S:But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
:It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!--
:Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
:Who is already sick and pale with grief,
:That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
:Be not her maid, since she is envious;
:Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
:And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.--
:It is my lady; O, it is my love!
:O, that she knew she were!--
:She speaks, yet she says nothing: what of that?
:Her eye discourses, I will answer it.--
:I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
*:_S_R_L34
S:Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
:Having some business, do entreat her eyes
:To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
:What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
:The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
:As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
:Would through the airy region stream so bright
:That birds would sing, and think it were not night.--
:See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
:O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
:That I might touch that cheek!
I:Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene II (The Forum).
*:_S_R_L35
S:Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
:I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
:The evil that men do lives after them;
:The good is oft interred with their bones;
:So let it be with Caesar: The noble Brutus
:Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
:If it were so, it was a grievous fault;
:And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
:Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,--
:For Brutus is an honourable man;
:So are they all, all honourable men,--
:Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
:He was my friend, faithful and just to me;
:But Brutus says he was ambitious;
:And Brutus is an honourable man.
*:_S_R_L36
S:He hath brought many captives home to Rome.
:Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
:Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
:When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
:Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
:Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
:And Brutus is an honourable man.
:You all did see that on the Lupercal
:I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
:Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
:Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
:And, sure, he is an honourable man.
*:_S_R_L37
S:I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
:But here I am to speak what I do know.
:You all did love him once,--not without cause:
:What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him?
:O judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
:And men have lost their reason!--Bear with me;
:My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
:And I must pause till it come back to me.
I:The Merchant of Venice, Act IV, Scene I (A Court of Justice).
*:_S_R_L38
S:The quality of mercy is not strain'd;
:It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
:Upon the place beneath: it is twice bless'd;
:It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
:'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
:The throned monarch better than his crown;
:His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
:The attribute to awe and majesty,
:Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
*:_S_R_L39
S:But mercy is above this scepter'd sway,--
:It is enthroned in the heart of kings,
:It is an attribute to God himself;
:And earthly power doth then show likest God's
:When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
:Though justice be thy plea consider this--
:That in the course of justice none of us
:Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
:And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
:The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
:To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
:Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
:Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.
