They are newspapers, magazines, radios and television news broadcasts. A person may use one or another of these sources to get information. Each source is used in its own way. Newspapers and magazines can give much information about a particular event. They may have an opinion or point of view on a particular detail (详细)，provide some heading of the event, some of its content, some of its effects, or perhaps radio and television can help a person to be informed about what is happening each day. It is also possible to listen to the radio or watch TV and do something else at the same time. Many people can listen to the news from their car radio while driving somewhere.

There are some serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer fun to information. The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times . It began in 1875, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on thenews. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the paper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with the manners of thirty years ago.5.If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself____________.A. a serious newspaperB. a foreign newspaperC. an independent paperD. a popular newspaper6.

These machines can do jobs in places that are too dangerous for humans. For example, they are being developed to work in nuclear power center, deep under the oceans and in outer space.John Marrit, a psychologist in Williamsburg Massachusetts, helped develop the new machine. This is how they work. A machine is placed in an area far away from the person who operates it. The person wears special hard hat with television screens and sound equipment. The screens and sound equipment let the person see and hear exactly what the machine is seeing and hearing. Mr. Marrit says this gives the person the feeling of being in the same place as the machine. The idea, he says, is “being there without going there.” The person uses an electronic control to make the machine move. The machine copies the person’s movement s exactly. He can do the dangerous job while staying in the safe place. For example, a person can direct the machine to destroy a bomb without going near the bomb himself. 9.

This kind of machine is used to do _________.A. hard workB. harmful workC. dangerous workD. easy workPassage fourIn the past few years telephones in cars have become increasingly popular in the United States. At first they were very costly. And then they cost less, so many people are now buying and using them. The police say people with car phones are reporting crimes they see and helping catch criminals.In the southern State of Florida, more than 125,000 people have telephones in their cars. Almost one car in every 30 has a telephone. A man in a big city of Florida is one of these car phone owners. One evening as he arrived home, he saw two people he did not know leaving the house next door. He called the police on his car telephone and followed the strangers in his car. The police caught the two men. A woman in another city of Florida saw a man shooting at another man during an attempt of robbery. She called the police on her car phone and followed the gunman as he fled in a car. She told the police where he was driving. With her information, the police stopped the man and caught him.Many people use their car phones to report other drivers who seem to have drunk too much wine. They also report accidents. This helps doctors and nurses get to an accident sooner to provide medical aid. All those car telephones are like having many more sets of eyes and ears on the road. They help the police to do their jobs better. Car phones also help drivers find the best way to get to a place. In some Florida cities, car phone owners can make free calls to radio stations to report when roads become blocked by accidents or too many cars. The stations then broadcast warning to other drivers to find different roads to use.13.
