Protecting Copyright （版权保护）
Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation①. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files. 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. Lawsuits② 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.
“Baidu's 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, doesn't 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 pursuing③ file-sharers.”

For the person keeping a diary, whatever he experiences and wants to think about, he can write it down. But to get it down on paper begins another adventure. For he has to focus on what he has experienced and to be able to say what ,in fact, the experience is. What of it is new? What of it is remarkable? Is it a good or bad thing to have happened? And why, specifically(特别的，具体的)? The questions add to themselves quickly. As one tries to find the words that are best for this experience, the experience becomes even more clear in its shape and meaning.

keeper begins to pay closer attention to what happens to and around himself. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of languages as a means of showing what he sees, and gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To have given up one’s experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and its possible meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and becomes clear.

Raising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CQ is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.
Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades. We’ve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO levels. And we have been able to record this increasing quantity of
atmospheric CO into the ocean.
Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO increased , more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.
“As carbon dioxide dissolves(溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid ,”Dore explains.” And therefore, as the concentration of CO in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drivers the pH down, and makes it more acidic.”
The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.
The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.
“It’s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It’s potentially catastrophic.”
41.What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Sea Life Facing Danger B. Scientist Researching Seawater
C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater
42.With the increase of atmospheric CO , ____.
A more corals will appear in the sea
B. the surface water is becoming warmer
C. the chemical balance of the seawater is affected
D. the pH of the ocean out here has been increasing
43.Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO on sea life?
a. Sea life is endangered b. CO goes into the surface water.
c. The ocean chemistry is affected
d. CO decreases the seawater more acidic.
e. CO levels in the atmosphere go up.
A. a b c d e B. e b c d a C. a e b c d D.e d c b a
44. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on ____.
A. his research and analysis B. the expectation of other scientists
C .some former theory D. a major cause of climate change
45. What does the passage want to tell us most?
A. It takes time to make a scientific study
B. Atmospheric CO is doing harm to sea life
C .Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist
D. Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe
D
Do you regularly get together to talk with your family about problems or the day’s events? Conversation is the key to any strong relationship, and family’s communication skills? Try these steps.

Last year for two months, every morning I wake up feeling my head was killing me , and I couldn’t breath, Patrick and I had been spending a lot of times together. We drank a lot. Actually, Patrick, that had lost his parents, drank much more than me. This is just hard to see a friend hurt this much, especially when you can’t do something but be there. I wanted to help her feel better, but I couldn’t. So I just followed after him around whenever he wanted to show me his problems. To be honest, I had a lot of things to deal, but I couldn’t leave. I had to be there so I knew he needed me.
