Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

   Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paper books (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

   Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books., science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

  A. TV programs are a main provider of knowledge  

  B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information

  C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun  

  D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself

What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however ” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?

   A. People only need reading, though.       B. Reading is still necessary today.

   C. Reading is more fun than television.      D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

   A. Fewer and fewer people will buy books.  

   B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.

   C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks. 

   D. More people like TV programs about famous men.

Life in 2060
Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe(假设;虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
【小题1】According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?
A. Many tourists.   B. Many other animals.   C. Many plants.     D. A sea.
【小题2】What will people eat then according to the passage?

A.Biscuits in pill form.B.Foods in gas form.
C.Foods in water form.D.Foods in pill form.
【小题3】Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060?
A.Because they don’t eat meat .
B.Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.
C.Because the number of animals decreases.
D.Because all the animals have died of diseases.
