In its latest move to fight online piracy （盗版）, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television （SARFT） has shut down hundreds of BT file-sharing websites, including the popular BTChina．net．
The name BT is short for Bit Torrent, one of the most common download methods used in China．As a result of sharing, the more people download the same thing, the faster the downloads get．Users can share software, music, movies, and digital books, TV dramas and pirated DVDs and CDs．
These BT sites were shut down either for operating without a license, or for breaking copyright law．The shutdown might have an immediate effect on the amount of downloads, but over time it will recover quickly, according to Aaron D．Hurvitz, a member of China’s intellectual property （知识产权） law firms．Netizens （网民） are beginning to search for new download sites．“The problem is, if you shut down the top two Bit-torrent sites, then people will simply go to number three, number four or number five on the list,” Hurvitz said．
Whether netizens like it or not, SARFT said the closed sites will have to solve the “copyright problem” if they want to reopen．Copyright should be protected．If you don’t pay for movies, investors lose money．Then no one will make movies in the future, experts say．
In the future, some experts say, the concept of “downloading” will disappear．You may not have to bother downloading content to your computer, but just enjoy it online．However, the concept of “copyright” will still be there, inspiring talented people to create new things, in which they take pride, and from which they make money．
60．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Some sharing websites were shut down for lack of licenses．
B．Those closed websites will never be reopened．
C．The speed must slow down if many people download the same thing．
D．People won’t be able to enjoy content online in the future．
61．Through BT users CAN share ________．
A．movies and hardware B．e-books and TV dramas
C．computer parts and music D．copyright and pirated CDs
62．The author quoted Hurvitz’s words in Paragraph 3 to tell us ________．
A．there are several choices to download resources
B．how to find other ways to download resources
C．the shutdown can’t solve the copyright problem completely
D．there will be more problems for users’ downloading

Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier— and some do exist — is not a good soldier because he is soon killed ; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.
In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used．If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not completely safe: an airplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!
The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.
In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you: fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.
In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.
