Reading Comprehension

  Walking with long steps on purpose, Barack Obama appears to have arrived to visit an elementary school he attended as a boy.But wait.It's not real Obama.The US president is back in Washington DC.

  So who is this guy?He's Ilham Anas, 34, a teen-magazine photographer who has taken advantage of his striking resemblance to Obama and turned it into his own brand of celebrity and wealth.

  Since his sister told him in 2007 that he looked like the then-presidential candidate, Ana's face and big smile have been seen on Southeast Asian TV and the Internet, appearing in the advertisements of medicine and other products.He has also shown up on his nation's television-talk show.Anas' resemblance to the president has turned his life around 180 degrees.He's even written an autobiography Because of Obama.

  Anas is the first to admit that he's an impostor(冒牌货).But he'll also tell you that he's in incredible demand.“I've got so much work I can't handle it all,”he said.

  But when his sister first mentioned the resemblance, he dismissed it.Then a colleague at the magazine asked him to pose as Obama in front of a US flag.He also refused.“I'm a photographer, not an object for the camera,”he said.

  As soon as he accepted the idea, his career took off.The married father of two children is rarely home these days.Recently a group of reporters followed him on a tour of the elementary school Obama once attended.Anas sat in the classroom where the president studied.He spoke a few lines in English.The moment he opened his mouth, however, the differences became apparent.“Obama is a baritone(男中音),”Anas said.“I'm not.I sound like a little boy.”He is also shorter than the president.But he makes up for that by practising Obama's typical actions.Before public appearances, he spends hours in front of the mirror posing, gesturing, flashing that smile.

  Anas said he hasn't changed his appearance much for the role.He wears his hair just like he did in high school.But he did shape his eyebrows to look more like those of the president.

  He used to dislike looking into the mirror because of his average appearance.Now he no longer considers himself as an average guy, but a superstar.

  Now, he hopes that Obama will win a second term in the White House.“The longer he's in office, the longer my fame will last,”he said.

London has a new magazine. But it’s not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.

  In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There’s a wide choice--- everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.

   If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109, so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week’s best bargains. But should you drive or take the train ? To answer the question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It’s very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it’s being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.

London has already had three services. One, transmitted(传输)by ITV, is called ORACLE, while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX, because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.

1.What is unusual about the mew magazine in London?

    A.You can find any subject you want in it.

    B.No paper is used to print the magazine.

    C.There 1,000 page numbers in the index.

    D.The speed of transmitting is astonishing.

2.It’s clearly seen from the passage that ________.

    A.it takes long for the service of the magazine to be updated

    B.most of the postmen will be out of work someday

    C.the readers can get all kinds of information without leaving home

    D.everyone can read the magazine if there is a television at hand

3.According to the passage, the “decoder” is used to help people to ________.

    A.read the information transmitted by TV signals

    B.broadcast special TV programs at home and abroad

    C.dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about

    D.find the exact page in which you can get information you need
