  He wishes the holiday season would end already.His back aches,his red suit feels like a spacesuit,his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours-and still the kids keep coming and coming,like ants at a picnic.

As Christmas becomes more commercialized(商业化)across the U.S.and Canada,so must Santas.As the holiday begins earlier each year,so must its spokesmen

  The questions from children these days are harder than ever.Now,with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan,the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable.For example,“Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”

  Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued(指控).A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story:A Santa had a girt on his knee,and he commented,“You have nice eyes and nice hair.”The girl later said it was sexual harassment(骚扰).When a Santa feels anxious,he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do:The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended.Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don't see other children again.

Dear Jenny,

  We have been talking to each other mostly through e-mails. This time, I choose to write a letter instead, as I feel like writing English with a pen. When I write with a pen, it seems easier for me to express my thoughts and feelings.

  It is almost a month since school started. I really like being in high school. It's exciting. There are so many new things to do and so many new friends to meet.

  High school students in China live a busy but colourful life. We have to work hard for the National College Entrance Examinations, which will take place in less than three years.

  Now I have a large group of friends. We take all of our classes together in the same classroom. It's good to have friends to study with because we can help each other. I'm pretty good at English, so many guys ask me for help with their English. I don't mind. After school we usually go to play sports for a little while. Sometimes we take a walk down the river or visit some bookstores. We have to be back for evening class by 7:30.

  Among my classmates, there is one guy named Dazhi, whom I like most. I met him on the sports ground one afternoon. He was sitting alone, deep in thought. I went up to him and introduced myself. I learned from our talk that he is from the countryside some two hundred kilometers away from Shijiazhuang. Dazhi's fascinating life attracts me very much, because it has been very different from mine. As time goes on, I find we have many similar interests and hobbies. I think I can learn a lot from him. Being friends means learning from each other. Don't you think so?

  I have invited Dazhi to come to my home for dinner this Sunday. I think we will have a good time together. We will have lots of things to share(分享)with each other. I am quite happy with this growing friendship. It has opened a door to many new experiences.

  I must go back to class now.

  Best wishes!

Yours friendly,

Li Ming

Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value. The concept dates back to 1623, when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed. IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example, if somebody generated an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing, but today intellectual property rights are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature.

   In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recoding of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store. In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.

1.According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to _______.

  A. those creating music, art and literature

  B. novelists

  C. those not receiving financial reward for their work

  D. engineers and inventors

2.What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?

  A. It does not affect the way we understand IP rights.

  B. It sells songs and films.

  C. It makes IP rights harder to protect.

  D. It prevents the production of artwork.

3.According to paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?

A. Intellectual property rights.            B. Free downloading. 

C. The Internet.                        D. The large number of songs, films and books.

4.A possible title for this passage could be _______.

  A. IP Rights and Our Attitudes           B. Ways to Protect Your IP Rights

  C. The Present and the Future of IP rights  D. A History of IP Rights
