What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer． Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals．
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK． It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm．
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event． Tickets for the event sold out within three hours． Performers
included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone．
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit —making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities．
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty （贫穷）． In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously （同时） in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin． Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight （强调） international poverty and debt．
What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?
A． The festival has achieved growing success．
B． Great efforts have been made to hold the festival．
C． The festival has brought in a large amount of money．
D． There have been thousands of fans attending the festival．

A． The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis．
B． Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price．
C． Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families．
D． In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free．
We can learn from the last paragraph that _____．
A． the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts
B． the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London
C． London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals
D． some superstars are concerned about global poverty

On May 21, 2000, some American scientists were working at the computers to look for information they needed . Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright red spots crossing the computers’ screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers.
