New Light in Internet Service

A new internet service

Looking for "The Fugitive?" Didn't get enough "Eight Is Enough?" Would you like to "Welcome Back, Kotter" one more time?

Warner Brothers is preparing a major new Internet service that will let fans watch full episodes from more than 100 old television series. The service, called In2TV, will be free, supported by advertising, and will start early next year. More than 4 800 episodes will be made available online in the first year.

The benefit of the new technology

The move will give Warner a way to reap new advertising revenue from a huge trove of old programming that is not widely syndicated.

Programs on In2TV will have one to two minutes of commercials for each half-hour episode, compared with eight minutes in a standard broadcast. The Internet commercials cannot be skipped.

America Online, which is making a broad push into Internet video, will distribute the service on its Web portal. Both it and Warner Brothers are Time Warner units. An enhanced version of the service will use peer-to-peer file-sharing technol0gy to get the video data to viewers.

Warner, with 800 television programs in its library, says it is the largest TV syndicator. It wants to use the Internet to reach viewers rather than depend on the whims of cable networks and local TV stations, said Eric Frankel, the president of Warner Brothers' domestic cable distribution division.

"We looked at the rise of broadband on Internet and said, 'Let's try to be the first to create a network that opens a new window of distribution for us rather than having to go hat in hand to a USA or a Nick at Night or a TBS,'" Mr. Frankel said.

Warner's offering comes at a time when television producers and networks are exploring new ways to use digital technology to distribute programs.

The Competition among different distributors

Many of the recent moves include charging viewers for current programs. ABC has started selling episodes of some programs to download to Apple Pods for $1.99. And NBC and CBS announced last week that they would sell reruns of their top new shows for 99 cents an episode through video-on-demand services. CBS is working with Comcast and NBC with DirecTV. The CBS programs to be sold on Comcast include commercials, but viewers can skip them. The NBC programs on DirecTV and the ABC programs from Apple have no commercials.

Of the media companies' new experiments, Peter Storck, president of the Points North Group, a research firm, remarked, "They are saying let's take the plunge, put the content out there, and figure out how to monetize it." Programs on In2TV will range from recently canceled series like "La Femme Nikita' to vintage shows like "Maverick" from the early 1960's . Other series that will be available include "Chico and the Man," "Wonder Woman" and "Babylon 5."

"The company will offer a changing selection of several hundred episodes each month, rather than providing continuous access to all the episodes in a series," Mr. Frankel said, "so as not to cannibalize (拆分) potential DVD sales of old TV shows."

"And in the future, when Warner negotiates with cable networks to syndicate popular programs," Mr. Frankel-said, "the price will be higher if the network wants it kept off the Internet."

For AOL, the In2TV deal is part of a broad strategy to create a range of video offerings to attract people to its free AOL. com portal. It already offers some video news and sports programs from CBS News, ABC and CNN.

At the same time, it is creating programming aimed at women and young people, including an online reality series called "The Biz," giving contestants the chance to become a music producer, in conjunction with the Warner Music Group (which is no longer owned by Time Warner).

Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of bo
dy weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.

Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary. A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.

If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.

1.The following statements are true except ().

A、If people try some special food such as “light” beer when they want to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight

B、Both the diet and exercise play an important role in losing weight

C、Few American people who were trying to reduce weight would do exercise with their diet

D、If people walk one mile daily, and keep doing so for one year with diet, he would lost ten pounds

2.According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ()

A、It can help you keep good health

B、It can help you maintain body weight

C、It can help you get rid of illness

D、It can help you find a good job

3.When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ()

A、To do exercise

B、To try some “light” beer

C、To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread

D、To try both A and C

4.The word “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ().

A、decrease

B、lose

C、lessen

D、cut down

5.This passage is mainly about ().

A、the meaning of exercise

B、the way to reduce weight

C、the relation between lose weight and exercise

D、the importance of losing weight

One of the key challenges in urban architecture over the next 50 years will be figuring ou
t how to squeeze vast numbers of additional people into urban areas that are already extremely crowded. London, for example, will somehow have to deal with a projected 100,000 extra inhabitants every year until 2016. The current plan of building a new “satellite towns” of the city causes a lot of problems---but architecture think tanks are working on ambitious solutions that go vertical instead of horizontal in search of space.

In terms of population density, London is one of the least crowded major cities in the world---four times fewer people per square kilometer than Paris, for example, six times fewer than New York and eight times fewer than Cairo. But the fact remains that the city’s population is growing at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion into the surrounding areas is eating up increasingly important agricultural land, as well as worsening all the transport problems that come with urban growth.

Popular Architecture would propose a radically different solution. The proposal is to go upwards, with vertical towers of considerable size, each representing an entire new town, by the time it’s completed. Each tower would be 1500 meters high. Beyond mere accommodation, each tower would function as an entire town unit, with its own schools, hospitals, parks and gardens, sports faculties, business areas and community spaces. The population density of such a tower could help lower the individual energy requirements of each inhabitant, reducing the ecological impact of the population as a whole.

The village towers are considered as hollow tubes, with large holes to allow light and air though the entire construction. Occasional floor discs spread throughout the height of the building will give inhabitants large central areas in the middle of the tube to use as gathering spaces.

While the building itself is unlikely ever to be seriously considered for construction---imagine the number of elevators it would need, let alone the safety implications of open areas at such heights and with such wind exposure---the concept can serve as conversation-starter for urban planners looking to face the challenges of the current and coming countries.

One key challenging task for urban architects in the future is to ______.

A.build new satellite towns

B.work out ambitious plans

C.design less crowded cities

D.accommodate more inhabitants

Which of the following cities has the largest population density?

A.Cairo.

B.Paris.

C.London.

D.New York.

Horizontal expansion not only wastes land, but makes it hard for London to ______.

A.handle its safety problems

B.resolve its transport issues

C.control its population growth

D.measure its population density

The vertical tower would represent an entire new town in itself because______.

A.it is energy-saving

B.it is cost-effective

C.it is self-sufficient

D.it is comfort-oriented

For city planners today, the idea of building a vertical tower can become______.A.a topic for fun

B.a shocking reality

C.a modest proposal

D.a source of inspiration

NASA, the U.S. space agency, believes there's a good chance that we're not alone

NASA, the U.S. space agency, believes there's a good chance that we're not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe.

The search for intelligent life on other planets isn't new. It began almost 100 years ago. That's when scientists built a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart beings on other planets might pick up the signals.

Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation (星座 ). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldn't reach Earth for 50,000 years! So don't wait up for an answer.

So far, no extraterrestrial (地球外的 ) beings that we know of have returned our “ calls. ” But according to Dr. Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven't exactly had our ears wide open. “ Now, however, ” says Dr. Tarter, “ we've built the tools we need to listen well.”

Last October, Dr. Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world. It's an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California's Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes-and others around the world-will pick up radio signals from new world.

Dr. Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear: Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “listening” to 14 million channels every second. That's what NASA's radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing.

But that's not all. Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully. The computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as human-made signals. If they can't, Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe, ” says Dr. Tarter. “ And that would mean we're not alone. ” 26、NASA scientists started a new project in order to _______.

A、discover life in other galaxies

B、send human beings into space

C、find evidence of a new galaxy

D、confirm the number of galaxies

27、According to Dr.Jill Tarter ,the reason why we haven't received any return any return messages from outer space is that_______.

A、our ears are not sharp enough to hear them

B、our equipment hasn't been good enough

C、it takes millions of yuars for them to reach us

D、it takes quite a long time to send them

28、Dr.Jill Tarter compares the large receiver to _______.

A、the human ear

B、the universe

C、a metal bowl

D、a huge dish

29、According to Dr.Frank Drake ,NASA's radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are _______.

A、trying to check on every channel carefully

B、moving the tuner on the dial for clear channels

C、scanning the universe for possible signals

D、picking up radio signals from new world

30、The best title of this passage is ________.

A、Signals from the Space

B、The Invention of New Radio Receivers

C、The Intelligent Life in Outer Space

D、NASA Listens for Space Neighbors

An Organization that Supports the Arts Aside from perpetuating itself, the sole purpose of

An Organization that Supports the Arts

Aside from perpetuating itself, the sole purpose of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters is to "foster, assist and sustain an interest" in literature, music, and art. This it does by enthusiastically handing out money. Annual cash awards are given to deserving artists in various categories of creativity: architecture, musical composition, theater, novels, serious poetry, light verse, painting, sculpture. One award subsidizes a promising American writer' s visit to Rome. There is even an award for a very good work of fiction that failed commercially--once won by the young John Updike for The Poorhouse Fair and, more recently, by Alice Walker for In Love and Trouble.

The awards and prizes are total about 750,000 a year, but most of them range in size from 5,000 to 12,500, a welcome sum to many young practitioners whose work may not bring in that much money in a year. One of the advantages of the awards is that many go to the struggling artists, rather than to those who are already successful. Members of the Academy and Institute are not eligible for any cash prizes. Another advantage is that, unlike the National Endowment for the Arts or similar institutions throughout the world, there is no government money involved.

Awards are made by committee. Each of the three departments----Literature (120 members), Art (83), Music (47)-----has a committee dealing with its own field. Committee membership rotates every year, so that new voices and opinions are constantly heard. The most financially rewarding of all the Academy - Institute awards are the Mildred and Harold Strauss Livings. Harold Strauss, a devoted editor at Alfred A. Knopf, the New York publishing house, and Mildred Strauss, his wife, were wealthy and childless. They left the Academy -Institute a unique bequest: for five consecutive years, two distinguished (and financially needy) writers would receive enough money so they could devote themselves entirely to "prose literature" (no plays, no poetry, and no paying job that might distract). In 1983, the first Strauss Livings of 35,000 a year went to short -story writer Raymond Carver and novelist- essayist Cynthia Ozick. By 1988, the fund had grown enough so that two winners, novelists Diane Johnson and Robert Stone, each got 50,000 a year for five years.

Which of the following can be inferred about Alice Walker' s book In love and Trouble?

A.It sold more copies than The Poorhouse Fair.

B.It described the author' s visit to Rome.

C.It was a commercial success.

D.It was published after The Poorhouse Fair.
