In America, where Labor costs are so high, “do-it-yourself” is a way of life. Many people repair their own cars. Build their own garages, and then remodel their own house. Soon they may also be writing their own books. In Hollywood there is a company that publishes childrens books with the help of computers. Although other book companies also publish that way, this particular company is very unusual. It “personalizes” the books by having the computer make the readers the leading character in the story. Here is how they do it. Let us say your child is named Jimmy. He lives on Oak Drive in St. Louis, and has a dog named Betty, a parrot named Polly, and two playmates whose names are Tom and Mary. The computer uses this information to fill out a story that has already been prepared and illustrated. The story is then printed with standard equipment as a hardcover book. A child who receives such a book might say, “This book is about me”; the company therefore calls itself the “Me-Books Publishing Company”.Children like the Me-Books because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important, “personalization” has been found to be an important tool in developing enthusiasm for reading. Me-books are thus helping a child to learn how to read, by appealing to that natural desire to see his own name in print.41. Why do people in America do most things by themselves?A. Nobody would like to lend a hand.B. They can do better than others.C. They dont trust others.D. It is expensive to hire labor.42. Why does this company differ from others?A. It publishes books only for children.B. It makes the young readers characters in the stories.C. It publishes books about peoples mates and pets.D. It uses computers to make up stories.43. “Me-Book Publishing Company” is named by _.A. Jimmy B. itself C. a child D. the government44. “Me-Books” are books_.A. written by children themselvesB. published with the help of some childrenC. printed with standard equipmentD. relating stories about the reader45. Me-books are helping children to learn_A. reading with interest B. the adults worldC. writing beautifully D. their hometowns historyTask 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements or questions, numbered 46 through 50. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter with a single line through the center.British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry, so newspaperman writes as few words as possible. They tell their readers at once what happened, where, when and how it happened and what was the result: how many people were killed, what damage was done and so on. Readers want the fact set out as fully and accurately as possible. Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accidents. So a newspaperman always likes to get some information from someone who was there, which can be given in the persons own words. Because he can use only a few words, the newspaperman must choose those words carefully, every one must be effective. Instead of “he called out in a loud voice”, he writes “he shouted”; instead of “the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain”, he will write “they thundered down the mountainside”. Because many of the readers arent very clever, and most of them are in a hurry.46.
