When the recent research was analyzed（分析）, it was found that a lot of people wanted free pictures or free music from the Web. If it couldn’t be free, then they wanted it “new” or at least at a low price. It seems that 70 percent of people aged 16 to 24 download music online but only 1 in 40 tracks are bought legally.

Thus, some companies are planning to give all of their music away for free. The music will be totally free except that you will have to pay with your time by watching advertisements. This will be perfect for those who have lots of time but little money.

The Web has encouraged a belief that things can be free, or at least very cheap. It seems that everyone is looking for a good deal on the Web. The desire for free objects is part of the nature of the Web because the Web is about self-service and self-service is all about being free, cheap, fast and convenient. It’s interesting how words change their meaning. Stealing has now become file sharing, but it’s not really stealing, is it?

Free is a funny word. We all know that very little is really for free. If we go searching on the Web for free music, we know—or should know—that there are risks involved. However, it doesn’t matter. We still want free things, or at least the sense that we’re getting a real bargain and that at a minimum we’re saving time.

What can be the worst experience on the Web? A site that charges us high prices and wastes our time.

1.What is the best title for the text?

A. The Nature of the Web          B. The Web and the Culture of “ Free”

C. Stealing and File Sharing                  D. What Does the Word “ Free” Mean?

2.Why do some companies “ sell” their music for free?

A. Their music is not popular and is out of date.

B. Most people have lots of time but little money.

C. Their music can’t be sold new or for a low price.

D. They can earn money from the advertisements added in the music.

3.Which of the following can best describe the belief of the Web?

A. Risky behaviour    B. Stealing  C. File sharing           D. For fun.

Since September about 11m hectares of Australia have been in flames. This year’s fires are the worst on record, with at least 26 people dead, about half-billion animals burned alive, and over 2300 homes destroyed. Australians of all species are suffering the most. But the fires have serious consequences for the rest of the world, too.

New Zealand, one of Australia’s closest neighbors, is feeling the effects of the bushfires. The most important effect of the fires might be on the country’s glaciers, about which Helen Clark, New Zealand’s former prime minister, tweeted: “Australian bushfires have created haze in New Zealand with particular impact on the South Island yesterday and now spreading more widely. Impact of ash on glaciers is likely to speed melting.” Melting glaciers could open up a future none of us wants to suffer.

There’s no such thing as weather that happens in isolation. As a recent Forbes article reports, fires have the potential to not only block visibility for airplanes, grounding them, but to create pockets of hotter or colder air, or create situations where the weather is increasingly less stable — although no one is yet certain how far from the Australian continent those effects might wander, or how harmful they may prove to be.

In addition to coal, Australia also exports all kinds of agricultural products — like beef and wool—particularly to Asian countries including China and Japan. But what happens when the land it uses to grow all that food and fiber is destroyed by fire? Obviously, no more goods to export, which creates a huge problem in the international supply chain. Thanks to globalization, pretty much no country eats only the food it grows. What happens to the global food supply as agricultural land in Australia and other export nation’s burns to a crisp?

1.What can we learn about the Australian bushfires?

A.They’ve left most of Australian land in flames.

B.They’ve speeded the melting of glaciers.

C.They will certainly create hotter air.

D.No one is certain how harmful their effects will be on climate.

2.What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of the global food supply?

A.Doubtful. B.Objective.

C.Concerned. D.Indifferent.

3.What is the best title for the text?

A.The Effects of the Australian Bushfires on Climate Change

B.Australian Bushfires: a Big Disaster to the Country

C.What the Australian Bushfires Mean for the Rest of the World?

D.Why the Australian Bushfires Affect the Rest of the World?
