       Welcome to my Message Board!
    Subject: Slimming down classics?
     
    Mr.Handsome
    2007-5-12
    6: 34 AM
    		Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at ￡6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.  
     
    Mr.Edwards
    2007-5-12
    9: 40 AM
    		Well, I’m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome.
    I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.
    As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.
    Ms. Weir
    2007-5-12
    11:35 AM
    		I’m director of the online book club www.lovereading.co.uk
    Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. I’m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it’s just so long. I’d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics!    
    Mr.Crockatt
    2007-5-12
    4:38 PM
    		I’m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.
    In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don’t read a shortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing.
    11. According to the message board, Orion Books        .
    A. opposes the reading of original classics          
    B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics
    C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future      
    D. is cautions in its decision to cut down classics
    12. In Mr. Edwards’ opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to        .
    A. make them easier to read            B. meet a large demand in the market
    C. increase the sales of literary books   D. compete with their original versions
    13. By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”, Ms. Weir        .
    A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics     
    B. shows her love for original classics
    C. feels guilty of not reading the classics     
    D. disapprove of shortening the classics
    14. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that        .
    A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt
    B. shortening the classics does harm to the original
    C. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult job
    D. editing the classic works satisfies children’s needs
    15. How many classics are involved in the massage board?
    A. Two.          B. Three.               C. Four.         D. Five.

    Three “Great Walls” built around the United States’ Tornado Alley could reduce tornadoes from destroying billions of dollars in property and endangering millions of lives, a physicist has claimed.
    Professor Rongjia Tao of Temple University, Philadelphia unveiled a proposal this week calling for the construction of three 1,000-foot barriers up to 100 miles long, which would act like hill ranges and soften winds before tornadoes could form, the BBC reports.
    The $16.9 billion plan would call for the faux hill ranges in North Dakota, along the border between Kansas and Oklahoma, and in Texas and Louisiana, ostensibly saving billions of dollars in damage every year, Tao said. The walls would not shelter towns, he said, but instead would soften the streams of hot southern and cold northern air that form tornadoes when they clash in the first place.
    But critics laughed at Tao’s proposals. Leading tornado experts pointed to areas that are already protected by hill ranges the size of the barriers Tao is proposing, yet still have plenty of tornados, like parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. And even if the plan did work, it would create more problems than it would solve, scientists said, by creating catastrophic weather side effects.
    “Everybody I know is of 100% agreement – this is a poorly conceived idea,” Professor Joshua Wurman of the Center for Severe Weather Research. “From what I can gather his concept of how tornadoes form is fundamentally flawed（有缺陷的）. Meteorologists（气象学家） cringe（尴尬） when they hear about ‘clashing（交锋） hot and cold air’. It’s a lot more complicated than that.”
    小题1:What does the underlined word “unveiled”mean in the fourth paragraph？
    A．remindedB．came up withC．referredD．applied
    小题2:What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．The different opinions on the proposal that the walls will reduce the loss caused by tornadoes.
    B．How to solve the problems that are caused by tornadoes.
    C．The proposal mentioned in the paragragh is totally wrong.
    D．The proposal to reduce tornadoes is effective.
    小题3: From the passage, we can infer that__________.
    A．the tornadoes form by clashing（交锋） hot and cold air.
    B．if the walls are built, they will work well.
    C．if the plan is carried out, we will have more problems than expected.
    D．The walls not only soften the winds but also shelter the towns.
    小题4:Which of following statements is true according to the passage？
    A．Leading tornado experts think that would soften the streams of hot southern and cold northern air that form tornadoes.
    B．Professor Joshua Wurman pointed out that the plan will be expensive.
    C．Professor Rongjia Tao is against the construction of walls to prevent the tornadoes.
    D．the plan will not be carried out because it will creating serious weather side effects.
