They might spray their front door with shaving foam, orknock on their doors and then run away!Another game p

It is not that n ewspapers are a n ecessity. Even now some people get

23、most of their n ews from televisi on or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sun day. But for mostpeople readi ng a n ewspaper has become a habit passed dow n from gen erati on to gen erati on.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives the bigpo

24、litical stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will con ti nue much the same. Ithi nk there will be more coverage of scientificresearch, though. It s already happening in areas thatmaydirectly affectour lives, like genetic（ 基因）engineering. In the future, Ithink there wil

25、l be morecoverage of scie ntific expla nati ons of why we feel as we doas we develop a betterun dersta nding of how the brain operates and what our feeli ngs really are.It s quite possible that in the next century newspaperswill be transmitted（ 傳送）electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in

26、our own home. In fact,I mpretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choosefrom a menu, making up your own n ewspaper by pick ing out the things you want to readsports and intern ati onal n ews, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition

27、 between the-5 -differe nt media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw thattelevision wouldkill off newspapers, but that hasn t happened. What is read on theprin ted page lasts Ion ger tha n pictures on a scree n or sound lost in the air. Andas for the Internet, it s never rea

28、lly pleasant to read something just on a screen.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Cha nges of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD.

Th

31、e phrase “ feed off ” in the last paragraph means_A. depe nd on B. compete with C. fight with D. kill offCRecently many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers moreproductive. Some experts claim the an swer is to make jobsmore varied. But do more varied j

32、obs lead to greaterproductivity? There isevideneeto suggest that while variety eertainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, itdoes not actually make them work harder. As far as inereasingproductivity is concerned,the variety is not an important factor.-6 -Other experts feel that giving the worke

33、r freedom to do his hob in his own wayis importa nt and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kindof freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must beused in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be importa nt, there is

34、usually very little that can bedone to create it. Another important con siderati on is how much each worker con tributes to the producthe is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Somecar factories arenow experimenting with having many small production lines ra

35、ther than a large one, so that each workercon tributes more to the product ion of the cars on his line.It would seem that not only is the degree of workers contributionan important factor,it is also one we can do somethi ng about.To what exte nt（ 程度）does more money lead to greater productivity? The

36、workers themselvescertainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is soboring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argume nt may expla in dema nds forshorter work ing hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more in t

37、eresti ng, they willneither want more mon ey,nor will shorter work ing hours be so importa nt to them.36. Which of these possible factors lead ing to greater productivity is NOT true?.A. To make jobs more variedB. To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own wayC. Degree of work con tributi o

38、nD. Dema nds for Ion ger work ing hours37. Why do workers want more mon ey?A. Because their jobs are too boring B.lnorder to enjoy more sparetimeC. To make their jobs more in teresti ngD. To dema nd shorter worki nghours38. The last sentence in this passage means that is we succeed in making workers

39、jobs more interesting_.A. they will want more moneyB. they will demand shorter working hours- 7 -C. more money and shorter working hours are important factorsD. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them39. In this passage, the author tells us_A. how to make the workers mo

40、re productiveB. possible factors leading to greater productivity.C. to that extent more money leads to greater productivityD. how to make workers jobs more interesting.40.

41、y Lloyd C. Douglas, a description isgiven of people helping others but doing it secretly. Whendifficult problems worried an individual, friendsnearby would meet to discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When asolution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would

42、 carry out the plan and solve the problemsecretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content withtheir success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, becausethey were never known.This concept is popular today b

43、ut in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward ” is now usedwhen one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person orgroup that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to helpsomeone else in the future, which means th

44、ey pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makesus want to give back inequal measure to the one who has helped us. But, i n this case, the resp on sibilityturns to help ing some one in the future.Suppose your elderly gran dmother pays part of your schooli ng. She may tell youthere is n

45、o n eed to repay her because it is a gift from some one who loves you very much. Noth ing wouldplease her more tha n to have you use her money to get a good educati on.-8 -You may n ever be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gaveyou some mon ey, but she provided you with an exa

46、mple that you should also help other people who need it.People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books andeven better schools. Some are elderly people who cant afford theirmedicine or a doctors care. Consider how you can“pay it forward”rather than pay

47、 money back to yourgran dmother.41.The helpers in the book“Magnificent Obsession”were not rewarded becauseA. theyhad ntsolved the problems thoroughlyB. they had solved the problems secretlyC. they were friends of the worried in dividualD. they expected to be paid back in the future42.
