阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案.

　　 Sometime today--perhaps several times--Dick Winter will think about the19-year-old who saved his life.

　　 Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours and laughter every day.

　　 The young man saved Winter's life by signing an organ donor card (器官损献卡).

   “I can't say thank you enough,” Winter said yesterday at a news conference making the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.

    What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation.

    His liver (肝脏) went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble. “Not a day goes by that I don't think of what a painful thing it must have been for them.” Winter said yesterday.

    “They are very, very special people.”

　　 Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to collect some next year in Japan.

　　“At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it's expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better.”

　　 The biggest change for Winter, however, isn't that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about his life now.

   “I have no time for arguments,” said Winter.

   “You change everything. Material things don't mean as much. Friendships mean a lot.”

    Also at yesterday's news conference was Dr. Gray Levy, Winter's doctor.

    Levy said he has bitter-sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.

   Levy knows that for every recipient (接受者) like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren't enough donated organs.

  “For every Mr Winter. We have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr. Winter was given.” Levy said.

   Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed．He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive $10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donor's families.

(1)Which of the following is true about the 19-year-old? ________.

D．He values friendships more than material things

[　　]

A．Spanish hospitals have more favorable conditions for organ transplant

B．the Canadian public have realized the importance of organ donation

C．Spanish hospitals received more money from the donors

D．Canadian hospitals now have enough donated organs

阅读下列短文，完成文后题目。

　　Sometime in the next century, the familiar earlymorning newspaper on the front porch will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You'll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer file if you like. These are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader homebased media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.

　　Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don't need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism(新闻界). Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.

　　Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 yeas to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established finanicial interests in the paper industry.
