 Many people have seen Harry Potter and The Halfblood Prince since it came out last July. And just like the readers of the Harry Potter books,the theater audience have included children,teenagers,and adults.

  The Halfblood Prince is the sixth Harry Potter movie,and is based on the sixth in the se?ries of seven books written by the author J. K. Rowling. The story of the final book,The Deathly Hallows,is going to be told in not one but two movies,which will come out in 2010 and 2011.

  In some ways,The Halfblood Prince is just like the other stories:Harry is again the hero fighting against the forces of evil,a lot of the action takes place at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,and there are familiar things such as the game of Quidditch (sort of like soccer,although it is played in the sky and the players ride on broomsticks) .

  One of the differences with this movie is that we see less of the evil wizard Lord Voldemort,but there is still a lot of evil in the story―in fact,most movie critics say The Halfblood Prince feels "darker" than the other movies because you can feel the presence of Voldemort most of the time.

  This is certainly true at the beginning of the movie,when there is an attack on London by Voldemort's followers,the "Death Eaters". Like a few other things in the movie,this was not in the book of The Halfblood Prince,and might therefore be a surprise for many Harry Potter fans.

  Another difference is that the movie spends more time looking at the relationships between the students at Hogwarts. Harry,Ron,Hermione,and the others are now teenagers rather than children―there is even a little romance in the story.

  Daniel Radcliffe,19, Harry Potter in the movie,said he will be "very sad" when the series movies end,but also excited because he will be able to play different roles.

(   ) 1. We can learn from the passage that         .

   A. the focus of the final movie is to be " romance"

   B. Daniel will play different roles in the final movie

   C. There will be eight Harry Potter series of movies in all

   Net Library is a library that lends out digital books. It treats a digital like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.

  From the consumer's point of view,this means that if more than five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel,other people who request that book will get a message saying the title can't be found.

  It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced. More than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works,and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in to the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.

  Some librarians criticize the New Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works,which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.

  Keller and some other librarians argue for the ebook vision set forth by E-Brary. E-Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.

  But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer.

  Christopher Warnock,chief executive of E-Brary,believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books,only the parts that interest them.

  "There's not really a lot of good in owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn't make sense," he said.

(   ) 1. How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

   A. They get money by cutting the cost of the books.

   B. They share the money with the Net Library.

   C. They get the money from the readers.

   D. They get money from selling their books to the Net Library.

(   ) 2. The underlined word "embraced" in the 3rd paragraph means         .

   A. taken something willingly   B. disliked something badly

   C. tried out something hard   D. held something tightly

(   ) 3. From the 2nd paragraph we can see consumers         .

   A. don't like other people borrowing books

   B. don't care if they are charged money

   C. enjoy the service of the Net Library

   D. complain about the limited number of the new books

(   ) 4. What does the last paragraph mean?

   A. E-Brary is not a good library for the consumers.

   B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.

   C. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.

   D. It's reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.

  Having visited my two children,I left the hospital and headed for the grocery store,truly exhausted. Today I had passed CPR(嬰儿心肺复苏术) exam required before I could take 8-week-old Joel home from the hospital. However,I still worried about performing CPR in a moment of crisis.

  For the past several days,I'd been trying to accept my 6-year-old daughter Jenna's diagnosis,juvenile diabetes (儿童糖尿病) .In addition to the CPR exam,I'd spent the day reviewing how to test Jenna's blood and give her insulin (豉岛素) shots. Now I was buying the food to balance the insulin that would sustain Jenna's life.

  I grabbed my purse,locked the car and went into the store. The first thing I needed to pick up was a grain box,but it had to be "sugar free",so I chose a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes and continued shopping.

  Eventually,I walked down the canned fruit and juice section looking for apple juice. I wasn't sure how much I would need to keep Jenna's sugar up. I grabbed a couple sixpacks and placed them in my cart. Frustrated by feelings of total inadequacy,I crumpled up (揉铍) my grocery list,and started crying.

  "Honey,are you all right?" a gentle voice asked. Absorbed in my own thoughts,I hadn't even noticed the woman shopping alongside of me. "Honey,are you a little short of cash?" she asked me.

  I slowly dropped my hands from my face and looked into eyes of the silvery haired woman. "I have enough money. I'm here shopping for groceries so that I can bring my children home from the hospital tomorrow. " I said.

"Home from the hospital!What a celebration,you should have a party!”

  This stranger took my grocery list,smoothed it out,and became my personal shopper. She stayed by my side until each item on my list was checked off. Then with a hug and a smile,she sent me on my way.

  While dragging the groceries into my house I realized the lesson this woman had taught me. "My kids are coming home from the hospital!" I shouted with joy. "Joel is off life support. Jenna and I can learn how to manage her diabetes and give her shots properly. " I giggled (唂唂地笑) to myself. "I have a reason to celebrate!"
