Net Library is a library that lends out digital（数字化的）books. It treats a digital book like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.
From the consumer’s（消费者）point of view, this means that if more than, say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title is unavailable.
It’s a model many publishers seem to have embraced. More than 350 gave the company rights to hand out their digital works, and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company. The California public libraries and about 1, 800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.
Some librarians criticize the New Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.
Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by EBrary. EBrary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.
But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download a copy onto a computer.
Christopher Warnock, chief executive of EBrary, believes most consumers won’t want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.
“There’s not really a lot of good in owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.
60. How do publishers get money from the Net Library?
A. They get money from selling their books to the Net Library.
B. They share the money with the Net Library.
C. They get money by cutting the cost of the books.
D. They get the money from the readers.
61. The underlined word “embraced” in the 3rd paragraph means _________.
A. taken something willingly B. held something tightly
C. disliked something badly D. tried out something hard
62. From the 2nd paragraph we can see consumers _________.
A. don’t care if they are charged money
B. enjoy the service of the Net Library
C. don’t like other people borrowing books
D. complain about the limited number of the new books
63. What does the last paragraph mean？
A. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.
B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.
C. EBrary is not a good library for the consumers.
D. It’s reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.
C
The people responsible for the pop revolution were four Liverpool boys. They joined together in a group and called themselves The Beetles. They played in small clubs in the back streets of the city. At the time, the famous stars had their songs to join in and dance to the “beat” of the music.
Because a lot of people take part in them, they formed the essential characteristic of pop culture. The Beetles won the love and respect of people of all ages. As they developed, their songs became more serious. They wrote not only of love, but of death and old age and daily life. They were respected by some serious musicians. Largely thanks to The Beetles, pop music has grown into a great and money-making industry. In 1970—71 the group broke up. They still write and record songs separately. But whatever happens to their music, The Beetles will surely have a lasting place in the social history of Britain.

The American Museum of National History is on Central Park west of 5th ST. New York, Telephone number 2124-51001. On the Upper West of Manhattan, it is conveniently reached by bus, subway or car.

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and, as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side part of the brain, which have something to do with intellect（智力）and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract（萎缩）with age.
Contraction of front and side parts—as cells（细胞）die off—was seen in some people in their thirties but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-old.
Matsuzawa concluded from his test that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contraction brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
71. What did the team of doctors want to find out?
A. How to make people live longer.
B. How to slow down the speed of getting old.
C. The size of certain people’s brain.
D. Which people are the cleverest.
72. What are their research findings based on?
A. An examination of farmers in northern Japan.
B. Tests given on a thousand old people.
C. Using computer technology.
D. Examining the brain volumes of different people.
73. The doctor’s tests show that .
A. our brains contract as we grow older
B. one part of the brain does not contract
C. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D. some people’s brains have contracted earlier than other people’s
74. Which of the following are growing old earlier than people who live in the cities according to the passage?
A. Farmers. B. Office clerks.
C. Shop assistants. D. Bus drivers.
75. What’s the most possible conclusion of the passage?
A. Most of us should take more exercise.
B. It’s better to live in the town.
C. The brain contracts if it is not used.
D. The more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes older.

Dear Mr. Headmaster;
I am writing this letter to tell you something about our canteen.
There are many kinds of food in our canteen，and generally they are delicious. The dining environment has been improved，with the walls painted and some pictures posted up. The students are satisfied with the new look.
But the prices are a little high and the students are not given a proper helping of every dish. Also，as the number of the students continues to increase，there is not enough space for us to have meals there. As a result，many of us go out to have meals.
All in all，there is still much room for improvement in food quality and service.
Sincerely yours，
Li Ming
