Commuters (上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to ￡350 a year.Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country.The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged ￡350 a year for each space in two years.

Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staff—meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work.The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport，but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers (金库)．

Some ten million Britons drive to work each day，and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total ￡3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.

Already some firms in Nottingham have threatened to leave the city，where 40,000 commuters use their cars to get to work.A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.“It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces，which get vehicles off the streets，” he said.“And these charges apply around the clock，which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available.This is more about increasing the government’s income than reducing traffic.”

However，Transport Minister Sadiq Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham. The council says the tax will raise as much as ￡100 million over ten years—one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.

Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.

But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services.We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.”

1.Supporters argue that the scheme________.

A．can help improve the parking conditions for the staff

B．should be applied to ail commuters driving to work

C．is certain to be carried out despite the objections

D．will relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport

2.According to the objectors，the scheme is unfair for________.

A．the firms with parking lots

B．the workforce without cars

C．the employees parking their cars on the streets

D．the staff driving to work in the daytime

3.Which word can best describe Theresa Villiers’s attitude towards the scheme?

A．Neutral. B．Negative.

C．Understanding. D．Positive.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A．many firms are willing to pay the charges for their staff

B．the public transport in Nottingham is in great need of improvement

C．the author believes Britons will benefit from the scheme

D．those firms with more commuters will leave Nottingham

One of the founding fathers of the Internet has predicted the end of traditional television.Vint Cerf，who helped to build the Internet while working as a researcher in America，said that the television was approaching its “iPod moment”．

In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPod，he said that viewers would soon be downloading most favorite programs onto their computers.“85% of all videos we watch are prerecorded，so you can set your system to download them all the time，” said Mr Cerf，who is now the vice president of Google，the world’s largest search engine.“You’re still going to need live television for certain things—like news，sporting events and emergencies—but increasingly it is going to be almost like the iPod.”

Although television on demand has not yet become a mainstream activity in the UK，the BBC，ITV and Channel 4 have all spent vast sums of money on technology which enables viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.

But some critics (批评人士)，including some Internet service providers，have warned that the Internet will collapse with millions of people downloading programs at the same time.Over the next four years，it is thought that the number of videos watched over the Internet will be four times as big as that.Broadband companies claim that the service will cause “traffic jams”，which will cost millions of pounds to get it to normal.

But Mr Cerf dismissed the warnings as “scare thoughts”，saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the Net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it all together.“In the past 30 years it’s increased a million times...We’re far from reaching the capacity，” he said，“It’s an understandable worry when they see huge amounts of information being moved around online.”

1.What would happen to television according to Vint Cerf?

A．Television would come to an end.

B．Television would be replaced by the computer.

C．Viewers would prefer watching TV programs downloaded on their computers.

D．Most people would prefer the Internet to television.

2.“iPod moment” refers to the time when________.

A．people can enjoy the live broadcast of television

B．people can download content to look at later

C．all programs are recorded with careful plan

D．the computer and television are closely combined

3.According to the last paragraph，Mr Cerf held the idea that______.

A．the Internet will collapse with many people downloading programs at the same time

B．the Net will collapse when people all around the world start to use it all together

C．the Internet service will break down with many videos watched over the Internet

D．people’s downloading TV programs on their computers won’t cause the collapse of the Internet

 

In the 1950s，a family who owned a farm near Beulah，Michigan kept a bull chained to an elm (榆树)．The bull paced around the tree，dragging the heavy iron chain，which led to a groove (槽) in the bark.The groove deepened over the years，though for whatever reason，it did not kill the tree.

After some years，the family took their bull away.They cut the chain，leaving the loop (圈) around the tree and one link hanging down.

Then one year，agricultural disaster struck Michigan in the form of Dutch Elm Disease.All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected and died.Everyone thought that the old elm would be next.

The farm’s owners considered doing the safe thing：pulling it out and cutting it up into firewood before it died.But they simply could not bring themselves to do it.It was as if the old tree had become a family friend.So they decided to let_nature_take_its_course.

Amazingly，the tree did not die.Nobody could understand why it was the only elm that was still standing in the country!

Plant pathologists(病理学家) from Michigan State University came out to observe the tree.They observed the scar left by the iron chain，now almost completely covered by bark.The plant experts decided that it was the chain that saved the elm’s life.They reasoned that the tree must have absorbed so much iron from the chain that it became immune (免疫) to the fungus (真菌)．

It’s said that what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.Or，as Ernest Hemimgway put it，“Life breaks us all，but afterwards，many of us are strongest at the broken places.”

A．The elms were tied by iron chains.

B．Some of the elms were cut up into firewood.

D．Nearly all of the elms died of a disease.

2.From the passage we can learn that the old elm was saved by________.

A．the groove in the bark B．the fungus in the tree

C．the iron remaining in it D．its own immune system

3.The underlined sentence “let_nature_take_its_course” means______.

A．leave the elm at the mercy of nature

B．help the elm grow normally

C．let nature take the elm away

D．have nature give a lesson to the elm

4.What is the best title for the text?

A．Never Lose Heart in Trouble

B．Strike While the Iron is Hot

C．Brave to Face Failure

D．Stronger after Suffering
