newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news
from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading
a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives- the
big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the
same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It"s already happening in areas
that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more
coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of
how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It"s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from
Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future.
You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the
things you want to read- sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media
(煤体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off
newspapers, but that hasn"t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a
screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just
on a screen.
B. The Changes of Media
C. Make Your Own Newspaper
D. The Future of Newspapers
sters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer.

ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.
As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives,
therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant"s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important
builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills
small trees and undergrowth, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in
both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open
spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out
sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants,
elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the
forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to
get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the
elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest
and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
C. The effect of African elephants" search for food.
D. The eating habit of African elephants.
B. Worsening the state.
C. Improving the quality
D. Deciding the conditions.
B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.
C. They are home to many endangered animals.
D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
B. pointing out similarities and differences
C. describing the changes in space order
D. giving examples
I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of our
computer and connected me to the World Wide Web.
I"ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace - I"ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to the Internet besides checking
my e-mail and wasting my time until I found out about electronic commerce (e-commerce): business on
the Internet. Do Amazon.com, Yahoo.com, or monster.com mean anything to you?
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks on Amazon.com, or had a good deal on Steve Madden boots that were on sale at SteveMadden.com. Unfortunately for me, I went on with my "e-commerce-less" Web-surfing, unaware of all the deals I was missing out on.
That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
"Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?" I asked her one day. Strange envelopes had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know
little sisters should never be getting more mail than their older siblings (兄弟姐妹)!
"Oh, it"s the stuff I ordered online!" she answered. I watched as she opened item after item. There was
no way our parents were letting her spend that much money - online or off!
"How much did all of this cost?"
"Oh, only about $15 in all!" She said excitedly. "Everything on eBay is on sale! It"s better than going to
the mall."
I felt as if my whole life, there had been a giant store in my backyard that I had never known about.
That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for 10 percent of the publisher"s price. A few days later,
I bought an iPod protector and a book or two from the wonderful eBay.com.

being forgotten on a bench in a town near San Francisco, police said.
Shahla Ghannadian had entrusted(委托) her 2,000-dollar Louis Vuitton handbag and its precious
contents to her husband after they stopped at an ice cream shop in the city of Sausalito on Sunday,
according to authorities. He left it on a bench near a downtown parking lot, and the oversight was not
noticed until the couple was back at their hotel, said Sausalito police sergeant (警官) Kurtis Skoog. The
couple had traveled from Toronto to San Francisco for a daughter"s wedding.
The purse contained a Cartier watch, cash, and jewelry worn by the mother and the bride at the
ceremony, said Skoog. The gems included emeralds, pearls and diamonds, one of them a 12-karat stone, according to police. Ghannadian and her husband had been squeezing in a bit of sightseeing before
catching a flight back to Canada on Sunday night. Family members checked the bench, but the purse
was gone.
Local resident John Suhroff walked into the police department the next day with the bag, its contents
intact(完整无缺的), Skoog said. Suhroff handed the bag to a clerk, saying it held "either costume or
junk jewelry".
"We called the owner, and they were ecstatic (狂喜的)," said Skoog. A family friend picked up the
bag and was to take it to Ghannadian. The family indicated Suhroff is in line for a reward, but did not
specify an amount, Skoog said.

don"t like it; you wish you are an outgoing person. You might then think that you are not smart enough. All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. Fortunately, there are always things you can do to make you like yourself. Here are some tips:
1. Write your success stories
One reason we may not like ourselves is that we are too focused on what we don"t have that we forget about what we(already) have. So make a list of your achievements; write your success stories. They do
not have to be big things; there are a lot of small but important achievements in our life.
2. Accept things you can"t change
There are some things you cannot change, such as your background and your past. So learn to accept them. You will feel much relieved if you treat things you can"t change the way they deserve: just accept them, smile, and move on.
3. Focus on your strengths
Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have some strengths
which give you a unique person. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.
4. Stop comparing yourself with others
You are unique. You can never be like ___________, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people. Instead, it is determined by your own
life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it"s useless to compare
yourself with others.

It may happen sooner or later:when books, toys, songs, snacks, video games, and DVDs have lost
their charm, your child begins to say, "I"m bored!Tell me a story, please."Your mind goes blank and your
child looks at you with great expectation.What should you do?
You may not realize it, but you have a wealth of stories to share.Personal stories, particularly from your childhood or from books you"ve read, are good starters.
Some kids enjoy stories about characters from their favorite books.Whether you take Little Chick on a walk through the barnyard or Firefighter Bob on an exciting drive through the city, don"t worry too
much about plot(故事情节). Young kids will enjoy them very much.
Some kids can appreciate a funny twist, so take a favorite story and turn it upside down by changing
the setting, characters, or plot.Make your child the main character in a funny adventure that fits his
interests.
When did you lose your first tooth? Who was a favorite teacher of yours? Thinking about Mommy or Daddy as a little kid may excite the imagination.And there"s nothing more delightful than a story about the
time a parent did some tricks and their results.Kids delight in these short experiences of a past that are
connected to them.
When you tell stories, you show how to put words together to make meaning.You share something
new about yourself that your kids may find interesting or exciting and that might be a starting point for
questions and discussions.Above all, you develop a love of words that kids will have for life.
