Teen's 'wuxia' world

While many teenagers are struggling (奋斗) to write articles for their exams,Jin Minzhe has already written a whole book.

Newspapers are dying.Electronic devices like mobile phones,pads,TVs and car radios can all be the killers.Most people believe in the long run,there is no reason• no practical reason for newspapers to survive.No matter what we do may only buy time.

Can anything save newspapers?I decided to have a try.

Many years ago,Bonnier,a Swedish publisher,set a newspaper in the former Soviet countries .After a few years,they had more newspapers in central and eastern Europe.However,these newspapers were run by a group of inexperienced people,and they didn't have enough money.In many places there were not even art directors.

I got a position in Bonnier's newspaper as an art director.

It was very difficult at first.I was really disappointed,until one day,in Londonn,when I saw performance by Cirque du Soleil. "These guys took some run﹣down entertainment,and put it to the highest possible level of performance art.M Inspiration lighted me up, "Why can't we do the same with the newspapers.We started to redesign the newspapers,one by one.

We used our imagination.We treated the whole newspaper as one piece,one composition - like music.

Music has a rhythm,has ups and downs.Design is responsible for this experience.Flipping through pages was readers' experience and I was responsible for this experience.

The front page became my personal channel to talk to the readers.My approach was simple and direct.I wanted to show my understanding of art,and of reality.I wanted to make posters,not newspapers.Not even magazines:posters.

We had determination,and we kept on trying.We experimented with type,with illustration and with photos.We kept asking:Why do we do it?What's our goal?

Design was not only about the front page.It was a part of the process.To be good was not enough.The process we made was about improving the product completely.

We adjusted the content accordingly.We improved everything to what our readers thought it should be and how they liked reading it.We kept improving and we had fun.

Soon in Poland ,our pages were named "Covers of the Year" three times in a row.One year later this newspaper,in the same country,they named it the "World's Best﹣Designed Newspaper".Two years later,the same award came to Estonia.The circulation of the newspapers kept going up.They became more and more popular.

Someone may think we are buying time,but our newspapers are alive,and growing.

D.

It was a big publishing company in Europe.

(3)Which of the following is probably the writer's opinion?

A Friend to the Pilgrims

"I speak English." When the Pilgrims (清教徒前辈美洲移民) heard these words,they were very surprised.The words came from Squanto,a Native American (印第安人).But how did he learn to speak English?As the Pilgrims would soon find out,this happened to be a long story.

When the Pilgrims arrived in America in 1620,winter would soon come.They needed help.Squanto happened to be living close to their houses.He offered to help.Knowing the language and customs of Englishmen,Squanto helped the Pilgrims in many ways,including teaching them how to catch fish.The Pilgrims were really lucky to have such a good friend!

Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. His father taught music while his mother cared for kids at home. The family was not wealthy, but Galileo's parents paid for him to go to school.

At first Galileo planned to become a doctor, but he changed his mind. He liked a different kind of science-physics. In Galileo's time, not much was known about how objects moved. Centuries earlier, a Greek(希腊人)named Aristotle had written down his ideas about movements, and everyone seemed to believe them. Galileo questioned those ideas and did experiments (实验)that showed how things really worked. For example, Aristotle thought that a heavier object would fall faster than a lighter one of the same size and shape. No one had ever really tested this idea. It just seemed to be true. Then Galileo came along, dropped two balls from a high tower, and discovered that they hit the ground at the same time!

In later years, Galileo became interested in how the stars and planets move. He watched the sky with a telescope(望远镜)he built himself. Once again, he saw things no one had ever seen before. For example, he saw that the moon was not smooth. Then he noticed that the sun had spots (斑点)that seemed to move. Galileo realized from his observations (观察)that the earth was moving around the sun. A Polish (波兰的)scientist named Copernicus had said this recently, but no one believed him. Galileo knew that Copernicus was right. Unluckily, Galileo's announcement got him into trouble with the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church said that the earth was                at the center of the universe (宇宙)with the sun traveling around it. This was what people had long believed, but Galileo said it was untrue. So he was sent to prison(监狱). He was soon set free, but for the rest of his life he had to stay in his house and yard.

Galileo died in 1642, but his work helped to change the world. He is sometimes called the father of modern science,because he showed us how important it is to look carefully at things and to test out ideas with experiments.
