You may have returned the book late to the library before. It is normal to pay a small fine, but how many would you have to pay if the book was returned 65 years late ?

This is a problem what John R. Rogers High School in Washington, US had to deal with recently. A copy of Gone With the Wind that was 65 years overdue was finally returned back to its library. However, the school said on December 2nd that it would not charge late fees of the book, which would have added up about $475 (2941 yuan).

The long-overdue book is checked out of the library of the high school in 1949, and seemed to disappearing until it was found in Maine, US, by Wayne Hachey. He found the book in his father¡¯s basement and then offered to send it back to the school. ¡°We are delightful to have the book back, but we wonder how it has been,¡± Lori Wyborney, principal of the school, said.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿In 1990,22-year-old Christopher McCandless gave up his career plans£¬left behind everyone he knew£¬donated all his savings to charity£¬and went off on an adventure£¬hiking his way through America to Alaska£®

Of course,this is an unusual story most college graduates would not do so. However£¬studies show that in teenage years, people are more likely to try out new experiences.For example£¬instead of working his way up the same organization like his grandfather did£¬a 15-year-old may dream about becoming a travellerÒ»only to find in his early 20s that this attraction of new places is fading and change is less attractive£®

The reason why people become less keen to change as they get older may be that people

generally have similar life patterns and demands£®Most people aim to find a job and a partner. As they get older£¬they may have young children and elderly family members to look after. These responsibilities cannot be achieved without some degree of steadiness£¬which means that new experiences and ideas may not have a place in the person¡¯s life£®New experiences may bring excitement as well as insecurity,and so most people prefer to stay with the familiar.

However£¬not every individual is the same. A child may want to play a different game every day and get fed up if nothing changes at the kindergarten£®Another may play with the same children and toys on every visit. Young children who avoid new experiences will grow up to be more traditional than others. Psychologist argue that those who have more open personalities as children are more open than others might be when they are older and that young men have a greater interest in novelty than women£¬although as they age£¬this desire for new experiences fades more quickly than it does in women£®

¡¾1¡¿ The first paragraph serves as a(n£© £®

A. introduction B£®explanation

C. comment D. background

¡¾2¡¿What does the author think is the key factor that prevents people trying out new experiences?

A. Age B. Partner

C. Responsibility D. Education

¡¾3¡¿The underlined phrase¡°interest in novelty¡±most probably means £®

A. independence B. curiosity

C. security D.excitement

¡¾4¡¿According to the passage, we can infer that_______.

A. a child who likes different games may not like to change after growing up

B. a teenager is not interested in a new start before graduation

C. women are more likely to try new things than men of the same age

D. as one gets older, he prefers the old patterns of life

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1,500 to have ¡°Happy Birthday to You¡± sung in the movie she¡¯s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for ¡°Happy Birthday to You¡± since 1988.

¡°I never thought the song was owned by anyone,¡± Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. ¡°I thought it belonged to everyone.¡±

Nelson¡¯s movie is a documentary£¨¼Í¼Ƭ£©¡ª a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events ¡ª and is actually about the history of the ¡°Happy Birthday¡± song itself.

Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called ¡°Good Morning to All¡± in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words ¡°happy birthday to you¡± in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters¡¯ song.

A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the ¡°Happy Birthday to You¡± lyrics£¨¸è´Ê£©. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the ¡°Happy Birthday¡± song, but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.

Nelson¡¯s lawyers say this piece of music¡¯s history proves that ¡°Happy Birthday to You¡± belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.

Experts estimate that Warner/ Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for ¡°Happy Birthday to You.¡±

Nelson¡¯s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the ¡°Happy Birthday¡± song.

¡¾1¡¿Jennifer Nelson had to pay Warner Music Group to ____________.

A. own the copyright on a song

¡¾2¡¿The history experts¡¯ statement can prove that the ¡°Happy Birthday¡± song ____________.

A. does not belong to Warner Music Group

B. has more than 200 years¡¯ history

C. was initially owned by another company

D. has always been very popular

¡¾3¡¿According to Nelson¡¯s lawyers, to sing the ¡°Happy Birthday¡± song, people ____________.

A. should pay the Hill sisters

B. should pay Warner Music Group

C. need not pay for any purpose

D. need not pay except for commercial use

¡¾4¡¿If the court supports Nelson¡¯s lawyers¡¯ claim, ____________.

A. she can obtain the copyright on the song

B. Warner will return about $8 million

C. Warner will have to pay her for her damages

D. she only needs to pay a little money to use the song

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿The United States estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old. By 2050, it¡¯s projected to be one out of 5. This means that not only will there be more old people, but there will be relatively fewer young people to support them.

Professor Richard Lee of the University of California at Berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics. ¡°Population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is costly,¡± he said.

Aging populations consume (ÏûºÄ) more and produce less. With more people living longer, it could get expensive. But Mr. Lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and smart planning, it can be manageable.

Societies have different methods for caring for the elderly, but each carries a cost. Generally, there are three types of support. Seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger. They can rely on their family to take care of them, or they can rely on the government.

In industrialized nations, governments created publicly-funded (¹«¹²×ÊÖúµÄ) support systems. These worked relatively well until recent years, when aging population growth in places like the United States and Western Europe began to gradually weaken the systems finances. These nations now face some tough choices. Mr. Lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money, retire later or increase taxes to make the system continuable.

Most developing nations haven¡¯t built this type of government-funded support, but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly. These nations also generally have a much younger population, which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations. But Mr. Lee says that doesn¡¯t mean they can ignore the issue. ¡°Third World countries should give very careful thought to this process, to population aging and how it may affect their economies ¡ª now, before population aging even becomes an issue,¡± he explained.

¡¾1¡¿¡°Aging¡± in this text means .

A. there are more young people than old people

B. an increasing number of old people are dying

C. more and more young people are growing old

D. the percentage of old people in the world is increasing

A. Indifferent. B. Optimistic.

C. Negative. D. Worried.

¡¾3¡¿The publicly-funded support systems in industrialized nations.

A. are facing the risk of failing

B. have failed to provide support for the old

C. will be replaced by other support systems

D. have greatly affected the nations¡¯ economies

¡¾4¡¿We can infer from the text that developing nations.

A. should prepare for population aging

B. don¡¯t see population aging as an issue

C. are facing urgent situations of population aging

D. have better ways to deal with population aging
