    The editor must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to attract local readers, the businessmen are thankful for the opportunity to keep their products in the public eye.

    Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and editors rarely take sides on political questions. But they can often be of service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping facilities, improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and places of interest.

    These papers often sound rather dull and it seems surprising that they all make a profit, but for many people in small towns and villages the death of someone known to them or the fix of traffic lights at a busy corner nearby can sometimes be more important than a disaster in a foreign country.

    1. What should the editor remember according to the first paragraph?

       A. Money.　　　　　　　　　　　　   B. Newspaper.

       C. People.　　　　　　　　　　　　   D. Advertising.

    2. What is the local newspapers' attitude on national political questions?

       A. They seldom have their own ideas.

       B. They often express their ideas.

       C. They are against one side.

       D. They are for another side.

    3. Do businessmen like the local newspapers?

       A. No, they are for business.

       B. Yes, from the advertising on the newspapers they can sell well.

       C. Yes, they can write for the newspaper.

       D. No, they can't get much money from the newspaper.

    4. A local newspaper can persuade the council ________.

      A. to provide better shopping facilities

      B. to preserve local monuments

      C. to improve transport in the area

      D. all above

    　　By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math．They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性)of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined．In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges．

    　　Professor H．Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious．From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary．

    　　With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr．Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College．His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers．

    III．阅读理解
    The blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again this year. The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding.
    Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽) which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.
    A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露) his tail.
    If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them.
    36. How do the blue tits choose their nest?
    A. They choose their nest together.     
    B. The male chooses their nest.
    C. The house-hunter chooses their nest.
    D. The female chooses their nest.
    37. The writer was lucky to see ________.
    A. how the male made his tricks
    B. how an interested female played with the male happily
    C. what the male displayed and won the female
    D. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female
    38. You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood ________.
    A. at any time        B. regularly    C. in April    D. occasionally
    39. The writer is probably ________.
    A. a bird expert     B. a bird-hunter   C. a bird raiser   D. a scientist

    The report came to the British on May 21,1941. The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.

    The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical miles(海里) an hour, she was believed to be unsinkable.

    However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.

    It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.

    The battle didn’t last long. The Bismarck’s first torpedo(鱼雷)hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.

    But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged （损坏）. Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.

    For two days , every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck. But with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her from the air. The Bismarck was hit.

    On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought. Four British ships fired on the Bismarck. And she was finally sunk.
