a. the best way to get news b. the changes of media c. make your own newspaper d. the future of newspaper 68. in the writers opinion, in the future, _. a. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news b. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer c. newspapers will report more scientific research d. more and more people will watch tv 69. what will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?a. sports and international news. b. a menu of important news. c. the most important news. d. what you are interested in. 70. from the passage, we can infer _. a. newspapers will win the competition among the different media b. newspapers will stay with us together with other media c. television will take the place of newspaper d. the writer believe some media will die out 参考答案 6770 dcdb*结束 ai had made up my mind a long time ago that i would not give a homeless person money, because icould never be sure what that money would be used for. instead, i decided, i would buy them a sand-wich, a cold drink on a hot day, a cup of coffee, whatever i could manage.i was out recently and saw a homeless man outside of a starbucks. so i dropped another few coinsin and went into the starbucks. i decided i would buy this man lunch. i bought a sandwich and soda. just as i was leaving the store, two policemen were approaching the man. obviously the shop owners had complained of his wandering and the police were there to draw him away from the storefronts.just as they were ahout to wake him, i asked one of the officers if it was all right if i just gave the mansomething before he went. i was not sure why i asked the permission hut the policeman said sure and ijust left the bag in the mans cart, got in my car and drove off. as i was driving off i remember thinking, i hope people saw that. then i had to seriously askmyself why i hoped people had seen me give the man a sandwich from starbucks. was it because i wanted people to think, she s such a nice person! ? why did i hope others had seen me do it ?continued to wonder this all evening. the next moning it came to me. i wanted people to have witnessed that small act of kindness not so that i would receive credit and praise but so that they might be inspired to do the same and in so doing that others still would witness their acts of kindness. thus the whole spirit of pity and giving would be lasting.56. the underlined word starbucks in the second paragraph is the name of a _ a. shop . b. hookstore c. hank d. man57. when the author saw the homeless man, he was _ a. begging outside b. buying goods c. staying awake d. falling asleep58. whats the purpose of the passage?
