For centuries, the only form of written correspondence (通信)was the letter . Letters were, and are, sent by
some form of postal service, the history of which goes back a long way .Indeed,
the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000 BC, as did the Chinese a
thousand years later.
Of course,
modern postal services now are much more developed and faster, depending as
they do on cars and planes for delivery. Yet they are still too slow for some
people to send urgent documents (紧急文件)and letters.
The invention of the
fax (传真) machine increased the speed of delivering documents
even more. When you send a fax you are sending a copy of a piece of
correspondence to someone by telephone service. It was not until the early
1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able to fax
documents to each other.
The
fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be
sent, but, as a way of fast correspondence, it has been largely taken the place
of by email, Email is used to describe messages sent form one computer user to
another.
There are
advantages and disadvantages with emails. If you send some one an email, then
he will receive it extremely quickly .Normal postal services are rather slow as
far as speed of delivery is concerned.
However, if you write
something by email, which you might later regret, and send it immediately,
there is no chance for second thoughts. at least, if you are have to address and
seal(封)the envelope and take it to the post box. There is
plenty of time to change your mind .The message is think before you email!

For the first time in modern history, less than half of the U.S.adult population now reads literature, according to a recent survey. Reading at Risk A Survey of Literary Reading in America presents a detailed review of the decline of reading's role in the nation's culture.
Reading at Risk is a survey of national fashion in adult literary reading. The data source for Reading at Risk is as reliable and objective(客观的)as any such survey can be. The key results of the survey are presented in the "Summary", but the report can be further explained as: literary reading in America is not only declining rapidly among all groups, but the rate of decline has been speeded up, especially among the young. Reading at Risk merely shows a great cultural change that most Americans have already noted－our society's great turn to electronic media for entertainment and information.
Reading a book requires a degree of active attention and devotion.Indeed,reading itself is a progressive skill that depends on years of education and practice. On the contrary, most electronic media such as television, recordings, and radio make fewer demands on their audiences, and indeed require no more than passive participation. While oral culture has a rich reality and electronic media offer the considerable advantages of variety. Print culture affords irreplaceable forms of focused and thought than make various communications and views possible. The decline in reading. therefore ,equals a larger retreat(减少)from participation in public and cultural life.
What is to be done? There is surely no single solution to the present problem. just as there is no single cause .The important thing now is to understand that America can no longer take active and devoted reading for granted.
Reading is not a timeless, common ability. As more Americans love this ability .our nation becomes less informed, active ,and independent minded .There are not qualities that a free, inventive, or productive society can afford to love.
53.The main purpose of the survey is to _______.
A.focus on the role of electronic media and reading
B.show that American young people read less and less
C.give a report of the national of literary reading
D.review that less that half of the population now reads literature
54.According to the passage ,reading _______.
A.requires less attention and devotion
B.demsnds no more than passive participation
C.limits various communications and views
D.means active participation in public and cultural life
55.The underlined phrase "cultural change" in Paragraph 2 refers to the change _______.
A.from oral culture to electronic media
B.from print culture to electronic to electronic media
C.from electronic media to oral
D.from electronic media to print culture
56.The author of the passage ________.
A.misunderstands oral culture
B.doubts the Americans to read more
C.encourages the Americans to read more
D.agrees to the solution to present problem in reading

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders
was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football,
tennis, cricket--- anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now
with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym
classes in Devonshire, England.
It was a mountain bike he
received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone
in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend.
Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his
speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following
year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of
adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested,
Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, the
decided that this would be his future.
In 2001, after
becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition（探险） towards the North Pole. It took
unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite（冻疮）, ran into a polar bear and
pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky
rice.
Saunders has since
become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more
of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates
would not believe the change.
Next October,
Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and
back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.
57. What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old?
A. He became good at most sports. B. He began to build up his
body.
C. He joined a sports
team. D. He made friends
with a runner.
58. The underlined word “exploits”
(paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ______.
A. journeys B. researches C.
adventures D. operations.
59. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to
Saunders?
a. He ran his first marathon.
b. He skied alone in the North Pole.
c. He rode his bike in a
forest. d. He planned an
adventure to the South Pole.
A. a c d b
B. c d a b
C. a c b d
D. c a b d
60. What does the story mainly tell us abut Saunders?
A. He is a success in sports.
B. He is the best British skier.
C. He is Ridgway's favorite
student. ` D. He is a good
instructor at school.
