On December 8, 1980, John Lennon –an English musician who rose to fame as one of the founding members of Liverpool pop band The Beatles – was shot dead outside his New York apartment.

In the 1960s and 70s, Lennon was one of the most iconic(偶像的)men on the planet. Some 30 years ago on from his death, he is still respected by many people in the West.

The Beatles, formed in 1960 in Liverpool, were one of the most commercial successful acts on the history of pop music, with, according to some estimates, global record sales over 1.1 billion.

The band conveyed the progressive ideals in which many young people of the time believed.

In the 1960s and 70s, widespread tension developed in both British and American society, regarding issues such as women’s rights and the Vietnam War.

Lennon in particular became known for his message of peace and for his opposition to the war in Vietnam. This led to an attempt by former US president Richard Nixon to drive him away from the US. Lennon’s second-wife Yoko Ono was also politically active.

Lennon was also hugely admired for his musical abilities. Along with fellow-Beatle Paul, Lennon and McCartney were the Beatle’s song-writing team.

After Lennon was shot by crazy fan Mark Chapman,one of his most iconic songs, Imagine, became a humanist anthem(颂歌).

Lennon’s legacy survived his death and continued till this day. In 2008, he was ranked the fifth greater singer of all time in US-based Rolling Stone magazine.

Former possessions of Lennon or furnishings from his homes continue to be sold for vast sums.

In an auction(拍卖) to be held next week in London, lines written by Lennon on the back of a demand for an outstanding bill are expected to sell for £350,000(3.7 million yuan).

In August, a bathroom from his last home in Britain, was auctioned for £9,500. And in 2009, a British film describing his early years before the Beatles began, was one of the most successful films of the years in the UK.

But do Lennon and his music continue to resonate(共鸣) with the young people of today?

The passage is written here to show that Lennon has _______.

A. lasting appeal          B. long history        C. exciting records         D. great success

C. It was commercially successful.             

D. Many of today’s young people believe its ideals.

Lennon was forced to leave the US as a result of ________.

A. the tension between Britain and America        B. his wife’s political activity

C. his struggle for women’s rights                     D. his opposition to the war in Vietnam

We can guess that the rest of the passage will tell us ________.

A. why Lennon and his music are still popular with today’s young people

B. why Lennon and his music spoil today’s generations of young people

C. that today’s generations of young people don’t like Lennon’s songs

D. that today’s generations of young people like Lennon’s songs better

Electronic books have changed the way many people read for pleasure. Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.

More than one hundred seventy-five thousand students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.

Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School. His students work on laptop computers at school. He explains the idea to them this way. “I mean, it’s just like a regular textbook, except it’s got it all online.”

Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said, “The world’s changing. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.

A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don’t have to carry a textbook around, so that’s nice.”

But another student said, “I don’t like it because the Internet sometimes doesn’t work.”

Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax Country do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the country have free Internet. There are also after-school computer labs as well as computer clubhouse supported by the country. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It’s good.”

Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.
