These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. Many of their programs are educational. But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. So have media that serve racial groups and those municating in foreign languages. In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge panies have many holdings(股份). In some areas, one pany controls much of the media. One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It es into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite also is gaining popularity. Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. Many cable panies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or edy. 【小題1】Which of the following is true about American public media? A．They depend on the government.

A．American news and entertainment B．Public television and radio media C．media in the United States D．Cable programs in the United States 6、While working in Southeast Asia in the mid 1990’s, I became a branch manager in a factory. At the beginning, I used human relations principles, such as putting myself into the others place to help gain trust. After a few months, I was told that the factory team members liked and trusted me. Then the owner, seeing how everyone thought well of me, believed that I could bee an instrument of change to carry out his several unpopular programs. The factory members resisted and eventually saw me as a puppet controlled by the owner. The more I insisted that they ‘follow orders’ the more they found ways to weaken the new changes. Finally, I was replaced by a manager who knew enough to please both masters. Even though the owner did not like the fact that his new changes were not immediately applied, the new manager gained his power by the support received from his team together with an intention to find a way. What I learned was that your team must always see you as supportive of their needs, even to the extent that the owner may not be pleased that you are unable to follow their wishes. At the end of the day, if your people do not follow you then you are no longer in charge and will be replaced. At first I blamed my boss for putting me in such a position. Then in honest reflection, I began to realize that he had probably hoped that I would have found some middle ground. What I could have done was to first obtain their advice about why they did not wish to follow the new policy changes, and then I should have used my influence with both the owner and team members to find a better way. Though, in fact it is a painful lesson for me, it has served me well along my career path! 【小題1】What can we learn from the passage? A．Obeying is the best quality. B．Giving is always a pleasure. C．Appreciating others will benefit a lot. D．Dealing with relationship is important. 【小題2】The underlined word “puppet” has the similar meaning to. A．instrument B．a(chǎn)ssistant C．wretch D．winner 【小題3】Which is the right order according to the passage? a. He was removed from his position. b. He got on poorly with the coworkers. c. He carried out the orders of the owner. d. He became a branch manager. f. He was believed in not only by coworkers but leaders. A．a(chǎn), b, d, c, f B．f, d, c, b, a C．d, f, c, b, a D．d, c, f, b, a 【小題4】From the third paragraph we can infer that . A．the new manager carried out the programs at once B．the new manager got on badly with workers C．workers need to be recognized and supported D．you should make full use of your power 7、Cheaters called “pirates” often use camcorders(便攜式攝像機(jī)) and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters in the local theater. These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices. Some share them for free. “It’s unfair for people to pirate movies,” says 15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin. Movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees. Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. Hadaia’s idea uses infrared(紅外線的) light. This range of light is invisible to the human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. The lights would not disturb people watching the movie. It would, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras. To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside. Then, she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box. She took recordings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders. During some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(發(fā)光二極管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded（植入的）in a certain place behind the movie screen. They gave out infrared light. Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen. The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates. Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten films now produced aren’t profitable. They don’t make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to bee blockbuster hits. It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types. 【小題1】From what Hadaia says in Paragraph 2, we can infer that _______. A．most people spend less money on pirates moves B．the pirates don’t have to pay for the movie tickets C．theater owners will increase the price of movie tickets D．she strongly criticizes those who video movies in the theater 【小題2】Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to _______. A．a(chǎn)djust the brightness of the movie screens B．make sure the images of movies are dark C．make illegal copies of movies unpleasant to see D．protect the eyesight of viewers in the darkness 【小題3】What is the correct order of the steps in Hadaia’s test? a. She projected pictures on the screen. b. She used cameras to record the pictures. c. She turned on the LEDs placed behind the screen. d. She made a special box with a movie screen inside. A．d c a b B．d b a c C．b a c d D．b c a d 【小題4】According to the last paragraph, we can know that _______. A．forty percent of movies now are profitable B．small theaters often choose to show low-cost movies C．more and more people go to theaters to fight movie piracy D．filmmakers prefer to produce ordinary movies than blockbusters 8、Kompong Phhluk Private Tour Depart the city for an unspoiled floating munity called Kompong Phhluk which is astonishing for its stilted-house villages and flooded forest.
