I sell cell phone plans and, to tell the truth, Im pretty good at it. I have had the job for five years, and this year, Ill make $40,000. That sounds good, but Im bored. Im thinking about making a change.I had a job interview last week at AT&T, a large telecommunications company. The company was looking for someone with my experience. It may not pay that much, but offers more opportunities(机会). I would sell both national and international cell phone plans. The company is only thirty minutes from my home, so I wont have to move. However, I would work longer hours every day. And I would have to always take business trips to other offices to visit customers(顾客).I have another idea. Im thinking about opening my own business. Theres a nice-sized store available downtown. Its right in our neighborhood. If Im my own boss, Ill be able to work in my own way. I can choose my own employees, and my wife, who is an accountant(会计), will take care of the bills and the payroll on the weekend. I wont have to travel unless I want to, and I can set my own working hours. In my store, I would like to sell cell phones and computers.But, you know, theres a lot of risk in opening your own business. Ill need a bank loan(贷款), and Ill have to pay for my own medical insurance. My family might have to use my wifes insurance plan for a while. She may have to keep her job in the beginning. This is a very important decision for me and for my family.1.What is the authors problem right now?A.He does not like working as a salesman.

When it was over, he traveled to the Rocky Mountains and checked into The Maple Leaf hotel. He then set off on a short walk to look at the local plant and animal life. After a couple of hours, he realized he had taken a wrong turning on the mountain path, but was sure he could easily get back to the hotel.After walking for several hours the next day, it became clear t Bob that he was in a predicament. “I had my mobile phone with me, but the battery(电池) was almost dead. I thought I could probably make just one call but I didnt know the number of my hotel and I didnt want to worry my family unless I really had to.” Bob carried on walking for three more days.On the fourth day he realized it was hopeless and decided to call his wife in England. “Hed been lost a few times before, but never for so many days,” says Shirley. She immediately phoned The Maple Leaf hotel, after a quick call to the Canadian embassy(大使馆) in London to get its phone number. “Were always worried if our guests are away for a long time,” says Greg McCaffrey, the hotels owner. “But that week several of our English visitors had gone to the city for a few days to watch the hockey games, and we thought Mr. Rigsby had gone too.” As soon as Shirley phoned, the hotel called the rescue service, which sent out a search party for the scientist. They found him in the mountains some hours later. “ Ive learnt my lesson,” says Bob. “I was stupid to set off like that without a guide（向导）. I never want an experience like that again!”5. Before checking into The Maple Leaf hotel, Bob_A. walk around the Rocky Mountains B. gave a talk on the environmentC. went on a tour of Vancouver D. studied some plants and animals6.

Running The Maple Leaf hotel C When Mike Scott, a singer, read the page about himself on W, he noticed several facts were wrong. So he started correcting them online. When he got to the end of the page, he looked up and saw the information at the top of the page was changing back again. Then he wrote about it in his blog (博客) and minutes later, he got a message from a stranger. The person explained that he was a big fan of Mike Scott and checked his page on W regularly. If any facts changed, he immediately changed them back. In recent years, many people have found that their online biogragphies（传记）contain wrong information. Terry Millstone, a web-based reporter, says, “Wikipedia seems like a great idea but actually its quite a dangerous website.” Not everyone agrees with this view. Pete Morley, another reporter, says, “People find fault with（挑毛病）Wikipedia because theyre afraid of it. Theres no other source of information that is so up-to-date and free.”So, is it a better idea to place our trust in what we read in magazines, newspapers and books? There have been a number of shocking events in the publishing world over the years, but one of the most extreme was the story of Stephen Glass. At only 25, he was a celebrated reporter working for a well-known US magazine, The New Republic. All that ended in May 1998 when it was discovered that one of Glasss biggest articles was fake（假的）. Later, it was found that Glass had made up facts in 27 of the 41 articles he wrote for the magazine.So, how do we know what to believe? Words have always had the power to influence people and, rightly or wrongly, we are more likely to trust printed words. But with the rise of the Internet, that trust is at greater risk than ever.9. The stranger who wrote to Mike Scott _. A. writes articles regularly online B. gets along well with Mike Scott C. knows all the facts about Mike Scott D. likes Mike Scotts songs very much10. What does Pete Morley think of Wikipedia? A. He thinks highly of it. B. He is worried about it. C. He is uncertain about it. D. He shows no interest in it.11. The story of Stephen Glass is mentioned to show that _. A. The New Republic is very popular B. it is not easy to be a news reporter C. printed words can also be untrue D. newspapers are in danger of dying out12. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. We live in a world full of lies. B. Be doubtful while youre reading.C. The Internet makes our life better. D. Read books rather than learn online.DGood afternnon, listeners. Geoff Beck from Luna Mobiles here with “Technology and you”. Let me tell you about four new products!First, the Luna 500.
