Three months after the government stopped issuing（发放）or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security（安全）concerns, some cafe owners are having financial（经济的）concerns of their own.

The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway, but for cafe owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.

“I handed in a request to open up an Internet café and received the conditions,” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45,000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR100,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes.”

Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee. “I’m avoiding closing the place, but it’s been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is.” Obeidallah said. “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”

The decision took many cafe owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet café, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place, filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.

“I did all that was asked and rented a place. And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me, saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can’t even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80,000,” Al-harbi added.

As for the government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way. But security concerns come before profit（盈利）.

60．The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes       .

       A．to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafes

       B．to make cafe owners earn less profit from their business

       C．to stop the use of the information superhighway on Internet

       D．to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway

61．The government’s decision led to the fact that many cafe owners            .

       A．suffered heavy financial losses                     B．asked to open up Internet cafes

       C．continued to operate Internet cafes               D．asked the government for payment

62．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means             .

       A．to be studied                                              B．to be put into practice

       C．to be changed                                             D．to be improved

63．The cafe owners found the government’s decision          .

       A．surprising and unacceptable                         B．understandable and acceptable

       C．reasonable but surprising                             D．surprising but acceptable

Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.

Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. , where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban（塔利班）,which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.

Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant(有意义的) improvement in their reading skills.

Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.

60. The underlined word “outlawed” in paragraph 2 probably means “        ”.

   D. Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013.

62. The author intends to             .

   A. stress the advantages of TV to people’s lives

   B. persuade women to become more independent

   C. encourage people to improve their reading skills

   D. introduce the readers some websites such as Google

63.What would be the best title for the passage?
