4. Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in today’s society. Then people are better able to make their own decisions about things that affect their daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world. By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60 percent of those readers were women. Something else unusual makes HappyNews different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis. Question 34: What is the best title for the reading? A. “Good News for a Change” B. “Newspapers vs. Online News” C. “Byron Reese Tells People How to be Happy” D. “Why Women Like HappyNews” Question 35: How is HappyNews different than other news sources? A. HappyNews does not exaggerate its stories. B. All of the stories are written by Reese. C. Its stories are not about bad things. D. The website only has stories about women. Question 36: Why might some people NOT like HappyNews? A. Reese’s stories are about misery and despair. B. Some sources give a balanced view. C. The stories are from around the world. D. It doesn’t tell them about important issues or problems. Question 37: Which of the following is NOT true about HappyNews after its first month online? A. Reese used it to create other websites. B. It had thousands of readers. C. Readers sent in nice letters about it every day. D. Most of its readers were women. Question 38: What does the word unique mean in this reading? A. one of a kind
5. The typewriter had a problem, though. Try to type quickly on it, and the type bars banged into one another and got stuck. The solution to that problem resulted in the keyboard we know today. Sholes consulted with an educator who helped him analyze the most common pairings of letters in the English language. He then split up those letters so that their type bars were farther apart and less likely to jam. That in turn dictated the layout of the keyboard - known as QWERTY, for the first five letters in the upper row. In a manner of speaking, he slowed down the typists to prevent jamming, and thus speed up the typing. In 1873 the Sholes & Glidden Type Writer became the first to be mass-produced, and its keyboard layout was soon standard on all typewriters. The original Sholes & Glidden typed only capitals and was designed in an awkward fashion that prevented the typist from looking at the paper while typing. Ads trumpeted its value to clergymen and lawyers, but it sold quite poorly at first. One reason: it was expensive. It cost $125, the equivalent of more than $1,700 today. Other keyboard layouts have been created since, and some are demonstrably more efficient, but the original continues to thrive. It is a telling illustration of the power of inertia and the reward of being first. Question 44: What is TRUE, according to paragraph 1? A. Sholes was the owner of a shop in Milwaukee. B. Sholes tried to improve the typewriter alone. C. The first typewriter was fuzzy looking. D. The first typewriter appeared more than 100 years ago. Question 45: The word It in paragraph 1 refers to ___. A. a piano wire B. a modern typewriter C. a telegraph key D. a crude typing device Question 46: What was the weak point of the first typewriter model? A. amazing letters B. strange-looking w C. poor design D. low efficiency Question 47: What does the passage state?
