Pearl S. Buck was almost a

单选题CHICAGO(AP) On Jan. 1, an order went into effect requiring that every checked bag at more than 400 of the nation"s commercial airports be screened for bombs and weapons.
Sunday was expected to be the heaviest travel day since Jan. 1. Yet spot checks on Sunday at several of the nation"s airports showed no major delays caused by the new security measures.
At the international terminal for Northwest Airlines at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, passengers waited up to 30 minutes longer than usual. Their bags were sent through giant screening machines and workers tore open taped boxes and searched through their contents before closing them up again.
Most travelers simply accepted stricter screening developed since the terrorist(恐怖分子的) attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, before which only 5 percent of the roughly 2 million bags checked each day were screened for bombs.
The U.S. government has put an additional 23,000 people into airports to carry out the new order.
Sonny Salgatar, a 23-year-old college student flying home to San Diego from Chicago, was told by an airport officer after the first pass that one of his bags was "hot", meaning there was something he couldn"t identify and he wanted to open the bag for an inspection.
The "hot" item turned out to be Salgatar"s clothing iron.
"Listen, anything they want to do for security is OK for me," Salgatar said.

单选题Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe(订阅) to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?
Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings--battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown(推翻) or killed—took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.
Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at low price and still make a profit.
Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion, as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons(漫画).
