London has a new magazine. But it is 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(解碼器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There is 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 back 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 page 101 to 109 so you put in 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 that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report . It is very simple to use . But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time . Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and the whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes .

London already has three services . One ,sent out by TV, 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 would agree that is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing , which could not just change our reading habits but our whole way of life .

Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of one of the country’s greatest machines was actually born in a log cabin,  1  to high school on horse back and without   2  of university degree（indeed, at age 14）, thought of the idea of electronic television. In 1906 Farnsworth was born in a community near Beaver City, Utah,  3  by his grandfather.  4  he was 12, his family moved to a ranch （大牧場）in Rigby, Idaho, which was four miles from, the nearest high school,  5  necessitating（使成為必要）his daily horseback rides. Because he was interested in the electron and electricity, he persuaded his chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman, to give him   6  instruction and to allow him to listen to a senior course.

The death of his father forced him to leave at the end of his second year, but, as it   7  , at no great intellectual cost. There were, at the time, no more than a handful of men   8  the planet who could have understood Farnsworth’s idea for building an electronic television system, and it’s   9  that any of them were at this local community. One such man was Vladimir Zworykin who had moved to the US from Russia with a Ph. D in electrical engineering. He went to work for Westinghouse with a dream of building an all-electronic television system. But he wasn’t   10  to do so.

A. rode           B. ran                       C. drove                   D. jumped

    Los Angeles June 14, 2006 – Hollywood actress Daryl Hannah was arrested yesterday after spending two weeks sitting in a walnut tree on an urban farm a few kilometers from downtown Los Angeles. She was one of 40 people, including celebrities from the music and movie world, who were protesting at the proposed destruction of the 14 – acre farm. Police officers cut away branches from the tree and used a fire engine to reach Ms Hannah and her co – protester, environmentalist John Quigley. The two of them raised their fists in defiance（反抗）as they were removed.
    Protesters, some of whom had chained themselves to concrete –filled barrels（桶），said that it was essential to keep the farm operating, as it provided food for hundreds of poor families in the area. About 350 people grow produce and flowers on the farm, which has been there for more than a decade and is situated in an inner –city area surrounded by warehouses and railroad tracks. However, the local authority recently approved plans for the area to be cleared and redeveloped for the construction of a huge new warehouse. 
    Ms Hannah, 45, star of films such as Splash and Kill Bill was not thrilled about being arrested. “But I felt it was important to show my support for the people,” she said. “This farm should be a model for sustainable (可持續(xù)的) urban agriculture. It needs to be replicated, not eradicated.”
    The record length for a tree protest is held by a woman called Julia Hill, who remained on top of a 30-metre-high redwood tree in Northern California for 738 days from December 1997 to December 1999. She was successful in saving the tree and those around it from destruction. Ms Hill was also at the Los Angeles urban farm project this week, but her presence failed to stop the inevitable (不可避免的). No sooner had the protesters been removed than earth-moving machines moved in and began to clear the land.

    As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across
the hall from her classroom, she knocked into a tall boy from the fifth grade
running in the opposite direction.
    


    “  36  ”the boy shouted．Then, with a silly smile on his
face, the boy   37   his right leg and walked the way Amy
limped（跛行）when she
walked.
    


    Amy closed her eyes. “  38  him!”
She told herself as she headed for her classroom.
    


    But at the end of the day, Amy was still
thinking about the tall boy’s   39   way. It wasn’t as if
he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade,
someone laughed at her  40  . Kids made fun of her about
her   41  or her limping. Amy was   42  it.
Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing（嘲笑）made her feel  
43  alone.
    


    Back home at the dinner table that evening,
Amy was   44  . Her mother knew that things were not going well
at   45  . That’s why she was happy to have some exciting news

Santa, and you might win a prize. I think   49  at the table with
blonde（白膚金發(fā)的）curly
hair should enter.”
    


    A   50  took hold of Amy
when the idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Amy went to
work on her letter. “Dear Santa Claus,” she began.
    


    While Amy worked at her letter, the rest of
the family tried to   51  what she might ask from Santa．Amy’s sister, Jamie, and Amy’s
Mom both thought a three-foot Barbie doll would   52  
Amy’s wish list. Amy’s Dad guessed a picture book. But Amy wasn’t  
53  to tell her secret Christmas wish just then. Here is Amy’s letter to
Santa, which she wrote that night: 
    


    Dear Santa Claus,
    


    My name is Amy. I am nine years old．I have a problem at school. Can
you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me    54  the way I walk
and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy（腦癱）. I just want one   55   when no one laughs at

    So you have been called for an interview —
well done! Your effort has 11        . You
will feel better at the interview if you show an understanding of the 
12         of the organization.
    


    Carelessness could 
13         you the job. Arrive at least
15 minutes before time. This will give you a chance to look around, read the
notice board and get the   14         
of the place. Lateness at interviews creates a bad impression. The first impression
the interviewer gets 
15          you is formed as you
walk through the door, so take a couple of deep breaths.
    


    Don’t take a seat until asked. Make eye
contact when you are  16        
and again if you shake hands and during questioning. Eye contact opens up the
communication channel.
    


    Be ready for the question “Is there
anything you want to ask?” Before the interview you should get ready for two or
three such questions. Look on these not just as a
17          to get information but
as a means to  18         your
prospects in the employer’s estimation. Asking can show  
19          and avoid asking about
holidays, pension and so on. It looks as if you are tired even before you
begin.
    


    And if you fail, look upon the interview as
a (an) 
20             in
itself.
