单选题 he American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects. Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper compiles are losing advertisers (广告商), readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor (主编) of the Times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came." An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline "NOT DEAD YET." Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education, its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.

单选题October 20, 2006 Mr. Joe Fernandez 1385 Midland Ave Detroit, Michigan Dear Mr. Fernandez, As the president, I am proud to announce that this Friday marks the 30th anniversary of our long an successful running country club. This, of course, calls for a night of celebration. And for this reason, we have reserved the Grand Hall at the Falcon Hotel this Friday at 7:00 p.m. for a night of fine dining an dancing. On this special evening, the newest members of our club will get an opportunity to listen to the thoughts of our older members and exchange ideas in an informal atmosphere. The newest members, who will be carrying on our tradition, should hear what the older members have to say. Further, the food will be superb. I have a chance to dine at the hotel several times in the past in other functions, and it was the food that convinced me to hold our event there. I am quite certain that all of our members will share my feeling. Anyhow, I am looking forward to this Friday when all of our members can let loose and have some fun. Therefor, this is a letter to officially invite you and your spouse or significant other to join us on this memorable evening. Please let us know if you can't attend. Yours sincerely, Jeff Connelly

单选题From: David Johnson To: Eric Anderson Hello, Eric. Thanks for your email. First, I'd like to say how pleased I was to hear that your company accepted our bid to design your new ad campaign. We will be using a subcontractor to handle all of the printing for this campaign, including pamphlets and signs. In the past, we have used a company called Quality Press. It is a subsidiary of Printco, and is quite reliable. I will send you a list of their estimated costs, along with a spreadsheet outlining the revision to our proposed schedule. Also, I have assigned one of our staff members to assemble a task for that will be in charge of consumer research for this project. Her name is Karen Lopez and she's a specialist in market trends. She will be mailing you a packet containing a summary of our preliminary market research later today. David Johnson

单选题 I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work. One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. "I'm awfully sorry," I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived. Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help. But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
