But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005， a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing. Baidus defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines， said an official. Like many teens， Huang Ruoru， an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province， doesnt think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit， she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others work without paying. However， other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei， a Senior 2 girl from Jinan， Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. If I download a song and really like it， I will buy the CD， she said. So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music， rather than pursuing file-sharers.

Hustles approach to a simple good-against-evil plot is extremely cheerful. Humor bordering on slapstick combined with exciting choreography by Yuen Wo Ping, who masterminded the fight scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix, make Kung Fu Hustle a lively, visual treat.There is plenty of violence, but its largely cartoonish. Stephen Chow wrote, directed, produced and stars in this non-stop action movie, which is in Cantonese with English subtitles. Chow plays Sing, an eager young man who longs to be a member of the powerful and cruel Axe Gang. When gang members appear on the scene, sometimes dancing with their frightening axes in hand, the sky breaks out with fireworks. The sets are shocking, with classic cars lining the neon-lighted streets and gambling casinos serving as the backdrop to the underworld activities. All these give off the sensation of Old West shootouts. One neighborhood is blessedly away from the disorder. Pig Sty Alley is so poverty-stricken it holds no interest for the Axe Gang. Then in wanders the unlucky Sing, who attempts to get money there. But folks are not what they seem: The town is full of kung fu masters. Sing tries to single out someone he can fight, but it seems as if everyone, elderly and very young alike, has a body like Charles Atlas. During the time, Sing calls upon the Axe Gang, which faces off against the people of Pig Sty Alley, led by the town s landlords, the powerful lady in curlers and her husband. Fans of kung fu movies will have a rip-roaring time, but even moviegoers are sure to enjoy spirited action of Kung Fu Hustle.Notes: top-grossing adj. 票房收入最高的 choreography n. 舞蹈术 mastermind vt. 策划 subtitle n. 说明对白的字幕 gambling casino 赌博场Choose the best answers according to the above:( ) 1.

Her hit Phone Number was also on the list of top ten golden songs.The Young Battlefield performed by heart-throbs from the contest My Hero was also picked for the list （二）Dont wanna grow upWHAT is the top hit single of 2006? Its Dont Wanna Grow Up!Taiwan girl band S. H. E took home the gold hit award at the 2006 Hong Kong TVB8 Top Chart Awards (金曲榜) last week, with Dont Wanna Grow Up from their eighth album Once Upon A Time.Its the first time S.H.E has won the award. The three members, Selina, Hebe and Ella were all very excited about it. They not only performed the song at the award ceremony, but also offered exaggerated (夸张的) hugs (拥抱) when giving awards to other artists.Dont Wanna Grow Up is a song with light tunes (旋律) and easy lyrics. Its music writer Zuo Anan used the tunes from Mozarts Symphony No 40 as the refrain (副歌). That gives the song a very classical feeling. The song has a similar theme to that of Peter Pan, the boy who doesnt grow up. I dont wanna grow up. When I grow up there wont be fairy tales in the world. I dont wanna grow up. Id rather be ignorant and foolish. In the song, S.H.E expresses young peoples common fear of the adult world and the desire to stay young forever.The song has been quite popular among high school students since it came out. Xiao Xue, a Senior 1 student from Shanghai, said that she often hums (哼歌) the refrain part herself.I like the lyrics too, she said, I often wish that I could go back to my childhood, when I had enough time to play and didnt have to worry about all the exams.S.H.E said that the song also expresses their true feelings. Their rocking success in the past six years has led to the three young girls heavy workloads (工作量) and forced them to grow up very quickly. When we first started singing, we were quite carefree and we had our own musical dreams, said S.H.E. Dont Wanna Grow Up reminds us of those happy times and of our original dreams.part 2一、报刊速读Nash lifts Suns high 2007-01-08PHOENIX Suns guard Steve Nash seems to get better with age. On the last day of 2006, he helped Pheonix beat Detroit in a difficult game.The 32-year-old Nash had 35 points and 12 assists (助攻) . But it was his leadership (领导才能) that really made the difference. He is the best player on the face of the earth, said Chicago Bulls coach Scott Skiles. I dont think anyone else is even close.Nash has changed the face of the modern-day NBA basketball game. Just a few years ago, teams wanted big powerful players like Shaquille ONeal. The id
