生词提示

housing conditions住房条件suburbs郊区downtown城市商业区、闹市区favor of支持、赞成;communicate with与通讯;交流；harmonious和谐的;atmosphere气氛，氛围

Dear Paul,

  Recently my family are planning to improve our housing conditions. We have different ideas about whether we should buy a house in the suburbs or a flat in this downtown. Some suggest we buy a modern flat because it's big and bright,and it's conveniently located,close to shops and schools. There are some parks or other places for people to have a rest themselves.

  However,the others are in favor of the oldstyle house. They consider that the air there is fresh and it's peaceful to live in the suburbs. What's more,the price is much lower than in the downtown. The most important thing is that neigh?bors have more chances to communicate with each other to make a harmonious living atmosphere,so they can have a comfortable life.

  I agree to the latter. What's your opinion?

 

                                         Yours,Xiao Ming

  The past two years of John's life may be his best. Two years ago he was voted Teacher of the Year for his school where he teaches math and science to the 5th grade students. This past year he was voted Teacher of the Year for his school for the second time,and he also received the honor of Teacher of the Year for his entire district. Last year his wife gave birth to twins. Despite all of these achievements,John's focus never left his passion for teaching and his students,not to mention the fact that he also published a book about teaching science during that period.

  All of these achievements,although not ordinary,may be common among your hardwork?ing teachers,but this is not the case for John. You see,when John was 18 ,he had a baseball accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Despite the challenges he faced physical?ly,mentally,and spiritually he never gave up and was able to continue to dream of becoming a teacher. And now he has so much more to teach than just math and science. Every day in his life serves a purpose,and his students are reminded of those values. John makes no excuses for what he can and cannot do in his life and continues to strive to not only make his students excel,but also push them to live up to and stand up for what they believe in.

  I can tell you more about what he means to so many people in his family,school,and community but that can never prove what John stands for. Above all John is a standup guy and he will continue to do this for the rest of his life.

  You can hardly avoid TV talk shows when you turn on the TV in the daytime. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content,while at the same time standing out above the rest than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

  Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The contents on his show are as surprising as possible. For example,the show takes the forevercommon talk show titles of love,sex,cheating,and hate,to a different level. Clearly,the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society,yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.

  Like Jerry Springer,Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top,but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and the quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons,managing your work week,to getting to know your neighbors.

  Compared with Oprah,the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured in?to society. Jerry ends every show with a " final word". He makes a small speech about the main idea of the show. Hopefully,this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

  Clean as it is,the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main viewers are middle? class Americans. Most of these people have the time,money,and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer,on the other hand,has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love,rela?tionship,sex,money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.

(   ) 1. Compared with other TV talk shows,both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are         .

   A. more inspiring   B. more popular   C. more positive   D. more negative

(   ) 2. What is the audience's reaction about the social problems that Jerry Springer talks about?

   A. They are interested in them.

   B. They are not ready to face them.

   C. They are cold to them.

   D. They want to get away from them.

(   ) 3. Which of the following topics is a probable one for the Oprah show?

   A. Cheating. B. Drug deal.

   C. Single mum's happy life. D. A traffic accident.

(   ) 4. From the passage we learn that the two talk shows         .

   A. have their own viewers   

    B. are the only ones of their kind

   C. appear at different times of the day  

    D. explore weaknesses in human nature

6. If you will be on holiday on election day,you        . (apply)

倘若选举那天你在休假，可以申请用邮寄方式投票。

   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.
