Directions:
Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.1._________
With the arrival of the age of “information economy”, intellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing.Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information.So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them.A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists.In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson.
2._________
There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper’s owner, Lord Copper.The editors can never disagree with him.When he’s right about something they answer “definitely”, and when he’s wrong they say “to some extent, Lord Copper.” It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them.
3._________
In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising.The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings.I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show.In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment.There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present as a sensational story.
4._________
There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want.People around the world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms.But what it will mean also is that we’ll be subjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies.Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally, a made-up story that you will never be able to check.
5._________
Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don’t just mean changing your choice of TV channel or newspaper.In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version, you only have two choices:switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust.The investigative journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth.

Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.
How would you like to wear the same underwear(内衣裤)for weeks? Owing to the work that has gone into developing intelligent materials, this may not be as 1 as it sounds.Self-cleaning clothes have now been created, and these new materials provide 2 resistance to dirt as well as water.As a result, they require much less cleaning than traditional materials.
The creation of self-cleaning clothes provides an example of how nature helps scientists develop better products.This self-cleaning nature is known as the “lotus effect”.The name comes, of course, from the lotus leaves, which are famous for growing in muddy lakes and rivers while remaining almost 3 clean.By observing nature, scientists are 4 the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered.Because of this, some remarkable new products have been 5 .Among them are special windows that are resistant to dirt and water.A special 6 on these windows not only prevents dirt from sticking to their surfaces, but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain.In fact, these new windows have already been 7 to some cars.Even when traveling at high speed through rain, these cars never have to use their windshield wipers(雨刮器).
Although we have already seen some practical applications, even more dramatic 8 will be made in the future, and they will, perhaps, change our world completely.Undoubtedly, technology is an important development, and it will have an even bigger 9 on our lives.
