Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books., science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

1.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A.TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge

B.cinemas are the best choice in getting information

C.reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun

D.newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself

2.What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however ” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?

A.People only need reading, though. B.Reading is still necessary today.

C.Reading is more fun than television. D.Watching television doesn’t help reading.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Fewer and fewer people will buy books.

B.A good dictionary should be kept in every home.

C.Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.

D.More people like TV programs about famous men.

Spreading truth and knowledge

If you have ever talked to doctors in the hospitals, you may find that many of them are quite serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.

Zhang's words first went viral (走红) on the internet after he said in late January that he had dispatched (派遣) doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases.

“When becoming CPC members, we vowed (发誓) that we would always prioritize people's interests. . . in the face of difficulties,” Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the pledge (誓言). All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining.” Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among internet users. A person's morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members,” said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.

One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: “If you don't stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.”

Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends.

“I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion (传染病),” said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I'll just hide myself in a corner, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently. ”

1.What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online?

A.The way he treats his patients.

B.His honest and humorous speech.

C.His pledge to fight against the virus.

D.His broad knowledge of the novel coronavirus.

2.He dispatched CPC members to frontline hospitals because he believed that 　　　　 .

A.they would bargain less

B.they are more professional

C.they should take the lead as they had vowed

D.they would be calmer in a critical situation

3.What can we conclude from Zhang Wenhong's words in the last two paragraphs?

A.He doesn't like to speak in public.

B.He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.

C.He is not a person who is after fame and attention.

D.He is looking forward to taking a break after the epidemic.

In my junior year of high school, my English teachers, Mrs. Matthews, was constant encouraging me. One day after class, she praised my work or said, “Jim, you have a real gift with writing.” Mrs. Matthews said after the while, “However, whether you want to make the most of it, you need to stick to your belief and struggle for your profession.Otherwise, you will never develop your full potential.”She added, You’ll find that the more higher you go in the world, the harder you have to work so as to succeeding.”So inspired I that I became certain about my belief.
