VL.Reading comprehension(阅读理解):
A.Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案):(I2分)
These days,more and more people are getting the latest news from a screen rather than a
paper.Yet many people still find it exciting to open a freshly printed newspaper to discover
what's in it.Scanning through a copy of the morning paper has become an irreplaceable part of
their day.One of the most popular dailies in the United States is The New York Times.
Every night,the paper gets printed at 26 plants across the country.College Point,built in 1997,
is the biggestamong them.It prints 1.7 million copies of The New York Times every week.
If you ever have a chance to visit College Point,you will be impressed by many things.The
first among them is perhaps the paper rolls.Each of them is half as heavy as a car(that is,about
900 kilograms).They are moved from the storage to the printing presses with the help of three
robotic arms.There are also 30,000 liters (of black ink and 9,500 liters of colored ink Trucks
deliver ink to the plant every week.
Finished newspaper pages are sent digitally from the newsroom to the plant.They are then
burned(刻)with lasers onto thin aluminum(铝制的)sheets called plates.There are seven printing
presses at College Point.Each of them is several stories tall.During a print run,they can print as
many as 80,000 newspapers per hour.Pressmen would carefully adjust the presses before they
place the plates on the machines.Electricians and machinists are also on hand during this setup to
solve any problems that may occur.The noise of the running presses is awful.Each press is shut
down for one shift(轮班)each week.Press staff will then climb inside to maintain(保养)the
machine's key parts.
Sometimes,news breaks during a press run.If it's important enough,the newsroom will call
to "Stop the presses!"Often,the copies that have already been printed won't be thrown away,but
the rest of the night's run will be based on the updated version.
Usually,all print runs of The New York Times are completed by 3 a.m.Maintenance and
electrical teams will then make preparations for the next shift.The plant is so large that they have
to ride bicycles in order to get around!

About a year ago,a couple with 3 children moved into the apartment next door to me.I never
heard any noise from the children,but the parents were always 75 them,in a frightening
way.We met often in the hallway when we were coming or going.I always spoke.but the only
answer I ever got was a hello from the 4-year-old girl.
I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I returned,they were just coming from their
apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others.I remained in the car doing
unnecessary things 76 I wasn't in a hurry.
The parents were telling her to get in the car immediately.I looked up and saw the little girl
was still holding the door open,waiting for me.
As a handicapped(有残疾的)man,Ican't hurry at anything,but I hurried as much as I could
and thanked her.She was smiling like a lovely angle.I was so touched by her small act of 77.
That afternoon I was shopping at the K-mart and I saw a white bear.I thought of the girl and said
to myself,"I believe she would like that",so I bought it.
The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father.She was
so proud of her bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before.The mother and father
both thanked me.
Now when we meet in the hall we all speak,and in a friendly manner I might add.As time
passes,I don't hear that shouting as often.78,hardly at all.
Last night we had about four inches of snow.I looked out at my car and wondered how I was
going to keep my doctor's appointment.
When I opened the outside door,there was my car with all the snow cleaned.I can't express
how I felt at that moment.The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building.
so when I saw him the next day,I asked him if he was the good man that cleaned my snow.He
said 79.He wanted to but his wife said she wanted to do it.

D.Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):(12分)
It was just another warm spring afternoon.As usual,I was waiting to pick up my mom at the
school parking lot.Suddenly,a ball rolled into the parking lot and stopped in front of me.I looked
around and waited for someone to come and collect it,but no one showed up.
Just when I was about to pick up the ball,I saw two kids racing towards me."Pass it to me!"
One of them shouted.And so I did.They got the ball,quickly thanked me and then went back
along their way.
I was curious about where they were from.With plenty of time on my hands,I decided to
quietly follow them to their paradise."And there it was-in the school playground,a score of
children were laughing,chasing balls or making fun of their friends.They were really having a
good time!
This reminded me of the carefree days of my childhood.Back then,lunchtime meant
home-cooked food that had been lovingly prepared by my mom,not an oily,ready-made lunch
from the staff canteen.The final exams were the only thing I had to worry about(in fact,my mom
was even more worried about them than I was).The sharing of a new comic was the biggest deal
of the month.Praise from my teachers seemed like a lifetime achievement award.
Life has just moved on.Almost ten years have passed since my college graduation.Many
more people have entered my life,but few of them have created memories as sweet as my school
friends had.If I were given the chance to talk to these kids in the playground,I would say,"
