The multi-million pound new Library of Birming-ham( LoB) will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization(数字化)of everyday life.
Set to open in 2013 ， the LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.
As digital media(媒介)is important to its idea, the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.
Brian Gambles, the LoB's project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning, "The aim is to mix the physical with the digital? providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.，，
The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the serv?ices, making sure that it is never closed to the public.
Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虚拟的)LoB， designed by Baden. Not only have the public been able to learn about LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.
Two other small Birmingham-based digital compa?nies are working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls "enlarge re?ality" project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development. And The People's Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.
Gambles says, "Technology will enable us to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before.，，

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic. the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are seri?ous. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? ―9_
At least one group of people are certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs(企业家)in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile(敌意的)to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 10 Jealousy is sometimes known as the "green-eyed monster" and the UK is its home.
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK re?cently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.
11 Those given a little were given the chance to de?stroy the large amount of money given to others―but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
12 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Develop?ment recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.
Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the prob?lem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become million?aires. 13 . It hardly seems worth following their ex?amples. If they were more friendly* people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.
A. This test seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.
B. The one who owns the most money in the end is the winner.
C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were "unloved, unwanted and misunderstood".
D. And if there is， can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.
F. But instead of being happy they complain that no?body loves them. ,
G. It is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的
最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you feel depressed, it's best to do something about it―depression doesn't just go away on its owts. In addition to getting help from a doctor or counsellor, here are four things you can do to feel better.
Exercise. Take a 15-to 30-minute walk every day―or dance, jog, or bike if you prefer. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active. 5 Once you get in the exercise habit, it won't take long to notice a difference in your mood.
Cherish yourself with good nutrition. Depression can af?fect appetite. One person may not feel like eating at all， but another might overeat. If depression has affected your eating, you'll need to be extra mindful of getting the right food.
6 So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals (even if you don't feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going).
Identify troubles. 7 When you know what's got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend. Talk?ing is a way to release the feelings and to receive some under?standing. If there's no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well.
8 Depression affects a person's thoughts making everything seem dark, negative, and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more. Consider your strengths ? gifts ， or blessings. Most of all, don't forget to be patient with your?self. 9
A. Look on the bright side.
B. Take action to solve problems.
C. But make yourself do it anyway.
D. Depression takes time to heal.
E. Proper nutrition can influence a person's mood and ener?gy.
F. With depression, a person's creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked.
G. Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression.

A discussion about hiking had been held in our class. Some students think that hiking during vacations can make people feel healthier, fresher or more harmonious with the nature. They find themselves deep at?tracted by the beauty of nature. They can also be relaxing by walking in deep mountains. But nowadays some hikers even begin to explore the places people have ever been to, and accidents have happened now and then be?cause poor knowledge of hiking. Some hikers even lost their life. The other students in our class think not safe to organize such dangerous activities. They make sug?gestions which laws should be passed and hikers should be trained before they attend the activities.

James Dean was not very tall—he was less than av?erage height. He had thick, light brown hair and blue eyes. He was so short-sighted that he could hardly see anything without his glasses.
He came to Hollywood when he was eighteen, ho?ping to get into the movies. At first, he was not suc?cessful at all, and for a time he was so short of money that he had to live entirely on dry oatmeal（燕麦片). Then he went to New York. He got a part in a play and was seen by the great director Elia Kazan. Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles.
By this time, Dean already had a reputation for be?ing strange and difficult to work with. He then went back to Hollywood to make East of Eden and then made two more movies, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant. He almost always wore the same overcoat and jeans and he had hardly any friends at all. "If he didn't like you, he wouldn't even give you the pleasure of his anger. You could be in the same telephone booth with him, but you wouldn't exist,"someone who knew him said later.
In spite of his poor eyesight, he loved driving fast motorcycles and even faster sports cars. A few days af?ter he finished Giant ， Dean went for a drive in his new Porsche. It was evening and the light was poor. Dean was not wearing his glasses. Suddenly, he saw a car in front of him. Il was slowing down and trying to turn off the highway.

" A few years later, a New York salesclerk wrote a book called Jimmy Dean Returns in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave.
