As he was buying it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years lat er.”“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.“No problem.” Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game.

Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards indifferent colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions (各种版本) of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”The sales girl looked at him for a second, then recognize d him and said, “Oh, hi!”“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000.

Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation (代) to generation.The nature of what is news may change .What basically makes news is what affects (影响) 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. It's already happening in areas that may direct ly affect our lives, like genetic(基因的) 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(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I'm pretty surehow it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read - sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体).They actually feed off 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 on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet,it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.31. What is t he best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD. The Future of Newspaper32. In the writer's opinion, in the future, _______.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV33. 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.34. From the passage, we can infer ________.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believe some media will die out35. The phrase "feed off" in the last paragraph means ________ .A. depend onB. compete withC. fight withD. kill off第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
