school, at the newspapers at home, at the posters on walls and the stamps you stick on envelopes before posting them.consider, too, the importance of being able to understand the instructions printed on packages of food and medicine sold in shops.in these and in many other ways, the printed word has become so important that it is difficult to imagine how life could go on without it.in everyday life there are hundreds of situations in which people need to communicate with one another, and the printed word is nearly always the best method of communication where large numbers of people are involved.as you may know, communication intended to reach a large number of people is called mass communication.the main presentday forms of mass communication using the printed word are newspapers, magazines and books.in the case of a modern national newspaper, thousands of copies of each issue (期) may be printed and read in a single day.the best known forms of modern mass communication which do not use the printed word are television and radio.television or radio broadcasts may also reach millions of people at a time.printing is so important nowadays that it is difficult to imagine how people could manage without it.in fact, though, it was many centuries before man even had a language.early cave men communicated with one another by sign language or by drawing on the walls of their caves.26we use the printed word mainly to _.acommunicate with each otherbread books and newspaperscstudy knowledgedwrite articles27the printed word has become very important because _.ait is almost

englanda british teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported ideas to employ dogs as classroom assistants.at the annual meeting of the professional association of teachers in southport, northwest of england, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools.they can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”wendy dyble, a shetland islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”they obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions (弃权)she said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order.“a big dog would also be helpful in breaking up fights and looking for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls，” dyble said at the meeting.“the dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to，” she added.“it would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit (犯错的人)”the idea was welcomed by the dog defense league but less so by bigger teaching unions.a spokesman for education secretary david blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools.the professional association of teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in britain.it has an honour for occasional strange ideas.earlier this week, its annual meeting here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination (协调) and physical strength in the use of hand.31according to the writers opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants_.ais a wonderful ideabcan improve the relation between children and animalscis beyond ordinary peoples imaginationdcan make some teachers lose jobs32what dyble said at the meeting_.agained some support from the membersbfrightened everyone at the meetingcinterested everyone at the meetingdcaused some trouble to trained dogs33a spokesman for education secretary_.aonce used a dog as a classroom assistantbsang high praise for dybles ideacwould employ dogs as teachersdbenefited much from dogs34the last paragraph of this passage_.ahas nothing to do with the topic of this passagebshows there are too many exams in british schoolscprovides further facts about the teaching uniondshows the writers anger to the union35which of the following words can best describe the teaching union?atraditional. bconservative.cimaginative. dordinary.csometime in the next century, the familiar earlymorning newspaper on the front porch (门廊) will disappear.and instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you.youll 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.youll 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 communication experts working on the newspapers of the future.pictured as part of broader homebased media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite printing and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.most of the technology is available now, but making more people believe that they dont need paper to read a newspaper is the next step.but resistance (抵抗) 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 many years to replace newsprint with computer screens.it might take 30 to 40 years to complete the change over because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.36the best title of this passage is_.acomputer newspapers are well liked bnewspapers of the future will likely be on computercnewspapers are out of fashiondnew communication technology37which of the following is not an advantage of computer newspapers?athey are cheaper than traditional newspapers.bthey are very convenient to use.cyou can get more information from them quickly.dyou can easily save information for
