Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers.Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting(骗过) his high schools monitoring system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life.While they are playing, a bomb exploded on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security(DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears.When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many “security measures in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen.He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously匿名地.The book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issue about his society.56. What kind of article does this passage belong to?A. A fascinating story. B. A book review.C.

In the end of the book, Marcus Yallow_.A. is supposed to be more irresponsibleB. becomes aware of very serious issues about his societyC. presents a young man who is irresponsibleD. plays a popular online game in real life BWhen Chris Morphew started writing stories about dinosaurs and time machines as a kid, he never imagined he would become a best-seller author. Several years and countless books later, the 26-year-old Australian is still wondering about the future. It seems anything is possible for young authors like Morphew in todays digital age, where electronic books can be purchased and downloaded with only one click.Morphew, who has published two kids adventure series, says e-books can attract readers because most retailers(销售商) allow a sneak preview before buying. “Its a great way to introduce potential readers to a novel, and hopefully get them hooked enough to pay for the rest, Morphew said.The e-book phenomenon is taking off among consumers. The global e-book market grew by more than 200 percent last year, according to a new report from Futuresource Consulting. The market is boosted by a rising number of e-book services, e-reading devices and tablets like the iPad.But in a world of such easily downloadable material, Morphew says piracy and copyright issues are concerning. “As an author who pours months of his life into each book he creates, its discouraging to think that people might be willing to take what Ive created without giving any thought to the effort that went into producing those projects in the first place, he said.Its no secret that the Internet is filled with unlicensed, free digital copies of books on file-sharing websites. This has led some successful authors to worry about dwindling profits. “If readers lose the habit of paying me for my work, I cant work. Writing is how I make my living, British novelist Chris Cleave told the Guardian.William Kostakis, a 21-year-old Australian author who is currently completing his second novel, isnt so concerned. He says book digitization can actually make it easier for young writers to support their careers. “Competitive pricing and self-publishing through Amazon means that authors can get their works out to the world, and start making money, Kostakis said.Kostakis says freelancing is another great way to help pay the bills. He is currently writing for the online Australian news site Ninemsn . “Freelancing is the key to making money until youre established(资深的), with most authors turning to journalism after publication to support themselves financially, Kostakis said.So is there hope for young authors out there? It appears so. Life in the technological fast lane has them charging full speed ahead.60. The writers purpose is writing this passage is to _A. discuss the influence of e-books B. introduce the popularity of e-booksC. tell people to obey the law of copyrighted booksD. encourage young authors to download e-books61. What can we know about Chris Morphew?A. He has published two books about kids adventure.B. He started writing when he was a child.C. He became a best-seller author because of e-books downloading.D. He thinks piracy and copyright issues has nothing to do with him.62. Which of the following is not the factor that promote the e-book market?A. E-book services. B. E-reading devices.C. Tablets. D. A sneak preview.63. The underlined word “dwindling in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _.A. dropping B. increasing C. improving D. sharing64. What is the main idea of the passage?A. E-book market has boosted.B. Young authors make a fortune from e-book downloading.C. Piracy and copyright issues deserve to be concerned.D. Digital age poses challenges for authors.CIf a business wants to sell its products internationally, it had better do some market research first. This is a lesson that some large American corporations have learned in a hard way.Whats in the name?Sometimes the problem is the name. When General Motors introduced its Chevy Nova into Latin America, it overlooked the fact that Nova in Spanish means “It doesnt go. Sure enough, the Chevy Nova never went anywhere in Latin America.Translation problemsSometimes it is the slogan that doesnt work. No company knows this better than Pepsi-Cola, with its “Come alive with Pepsi! campaign. The campaign was so successful in the United States, and Pepsi translated its slogan literally for its international campaign. As it turned out, the translations werent quite right. Pepsi was begging Germans to “Come out of the grave and tell the Chinese that “Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave.A pictures worth a thousand wordsOther times, the problem involves packaging. A picture of a smiling baby helped sell countless jars of Gerber Baby food. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US
