     If there is one thing I'm sure about,it is that a hundred years later we will still be reading newspapers.
It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or
radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturdays or Sundays. But for most people,reading a newspaper has
become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
     The nature(特征) of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our
lives-the big political stories,the coverage(报道) of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will
continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though,the research
happening in areas that may directly affect our lives,like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future,I think
there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better
understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
     It's quite possible that in the next century,newspapers will be transmitted (传输)electronically from
the Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact,I'm pretty sure how it will happen in the future.
You will probably be able to choose from a menu and make up your own newspaper by picking out the
things you want to read-say,sports,international news,ect.
     I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They
actually feed-off(依靠) each other. Some people once foresaw(预见) that television would kill off
newspapers,but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures flashed
up on a screen or sounds lost in the air. And as for the Internet,it's never really pleasant to read something
just on a screen.
1. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Best Way to Get News        
B. The Changes of Media
C. Make Your Own Newspaper        
D. The Future of Newspaper
2. In the writer's opinion,in the future________.
A. more big political affairs,wars and disasters will make news
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C. newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will read newspapers
3. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A. Sports and international news.      
B. A menu of important news.
C. The most important news.          
D. What you are interested in.

If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尴尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination(歧视).
About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment(就业) did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe(严重).
Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories(范畴), the Beijing Morning Post reported.
Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
“Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone(倾向)than others.
Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate(侵犯)people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公务员) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.

     If you are lost in the mountains,stay calm in the face of darkness,loneliness,and the unknown.
It will greatly increase your chances of survival.Many people think that preparing necessary
equipment and knowing how to use it are very important,but actually eighty percent of
mountain survival is your reaction to fear.
     FIND A HIDING PLACE
     Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold.Find a hiding place around you
before trying to start your own construction.If you are in a snowcovered area,you may be able
to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind.You should try to hide yourself in the
middle of the mountain if possible.Stay out of the valleys-cold air falls,and the valley floor can
be the coldest area on the mountain.
     SIGNAL RESCUERS FOR HELP
     The best time to signal rescuers is during the day.Signal for help from the highest point
possible-it will be easier for rescuers to see you,and any sound you make will travel farther.
If you take a box of matches and a space blanket(a special blanketfor travelling),build three
smoky fires and put your blanket-gold side facing out-on the ground.
     DO NOT WALK AWAY
     It will make finding you more difficult if you have gone off in a different direction,as search
teams will be trying to follow your path.Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.
If you get frostbite,do not rewarm the affected area until you’re out of danger.You can walk on
frostbitten feet,but once you warm the area and can feel the pain,you will not want to walk
anywhere.Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry untilyou are rescued.
