现在看手机、网络的越来越多，读报的渐渐少了，有人说将来报纸会不会消失?我们当今的社会还是报纸等传统媒体和网络等新媒体并存，体现了两种不同的生活方式。一种人只看网不看报，一种人只看报不会上网，当然还有两种兼顾。年轻人往往只看网络，不读报纸，这和生活工作方式有关，上网办公、交谈、收发邮件，顺手搜一下各类新闻，很便捷；以为时下的新闻知道了，就不去翻报纸。但我觉得不读报是会有损失的。因为有些报纸能给你的东西不全在网上，网络上更多的是即时的信息碎片，更丰富的生活血肉和富于原创性的、有深度的文章还是需要从报纸等纸质媒体来获取。还有，我总觉得一个人的修养很难在电脑前形成。需要在一些实际的文化空间里渐渐体验与形成，比如博物馆、画廊、剧场以及各种各样的交际，还有读书看报。我想，如果我们的报办得好，读报将来在中国也会成为生活和文化方式之一，一个丰富的社会不会只要一种生活和文化的方式。

学校教育给我们的好处不但只是灌输知识，最大的好处恐怕还在给我们求友的机会上。这好处我到了离学校以后才知道，这几年来更确切地体会到，深悔当时毫不自觉，马马虎虎过去了。近来每日早晚在路上见到两两三三的携着书包，携了手或挽了肩膀走着的青年学生，我总艳羡他们有朋友之乐，暗暗地要在心中替他们祝福。(144 words)(30 points)

For decades, people had continued to pay down mortgages until their last cent was spent. Now, increasing numbers were giving up their homes even as they continued to service other debts. Faced with a plunge in house prices across the US—something that has not happened since the Great Depression of the 1930s—the mortgage industry is already dealing with a surge in the numbers of people defaulting on their payments. The concern is that the losses on risky subprime mortgages could soon swell further as people with good credit histories decide it is not Worth continuing to make payments on houses now worth less than the loan. House prices in the US are already 20 percent from the 2006 highs and are forecast to keep falling. For many, especially those who have put little of their own money into a house, sending back the keys could be perfectly rational. The practice has been given a name in the industry—"jingle mail"—and there are even companies specializing in helping people with the decision. Youwalkaway.com, one such service, almost makes it sound an alluring prospect: "What if you could live payment-free for up to eight months or more and walk away without owing a periny?" the website asks. Larry Rosenberger, arguably one of the most experienced crunchers of consumer debt statistics around, was meeting the consortium of mortgage lenders to talk about analyzing their data for clues about which people's negative equity could be expected to keep paying down their mortgages. "They said: 'We're getting killed with losses, can we figure out more accurately who will do what, so we can be more accommodating with some borrowers but not with others,'" Mr. Rosenberger says. The accuracy of the models used by the likes of Mr. Rosenberger to flag good and bad customers could make a huge difference to the losses that lenders eventually have to absorb—losses that will, in turn, determine the availability of fresh funds for new loans. His approach was to seek clues to people's future actions in their past behavior. For example, people with children at local schools may be less likely to walk away than people without school-age children. People with mortgages on second homes may be more likely to give up the investment.Questions 6-10:Read Passage 2 and choose the correct answers.

中国自身的古白话(vernacular)是何时开始转化为欧化的白话?这要归结为近代来华的西方传教士(missionary)，是他们创作了最早的欧化白话文。西方近代来华传教士最初所用的汉语，大都是文言。但是他们运用汉语的目的既然是传教，而传教又是“在上帝面前人人平等”的，他们就必须照顾到文化水平较低，无法阅读文言的读者。中国的士大夫(literati)由于具有儒家信仰，对于基督教的传教，往往持抵制态度。这就促使西方传教士必须更加注意发展文化水平较低的信徒，用白话传教正是在这种状态下进入他们的视野。初期教会所译《圣经》，都注重于文言。但后来因为教友日益众多，文言《圣经》只能供少数人阅读，故由高深文言而变为浅近文言，再由浅近文言而变为官话土白。
