Try to act self-confident(自信) even (33) you don’t feel that way when you (34) a room full of strangers. Walk tall and straight, look (35) at other people and smile.

If you see someone you’d like to (36), say something. Don’t wait for (37) person to start a conversation.

Just meeting someone (38) does not mean that you’ll make friends with that person. (39) is based on mutual(相互的) likings and “give and take”. They take time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from(40).

Net library is a library that lends out digital(数字化) books. It treats a digital book like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.

From the consumer’s point of view, this means that if more than, say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title is unavailable.

It’s a model many publishers seem to have embraced. More than 350 gave the company rights to hand out their digital works, and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.

Some librarians criticize the New Library model. Stanford University librarian

Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.

Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by EBrary. EBrary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.

But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download a copy onto an computer.

Christopher Warnock, chief executive of EBrary, believes most consumers won’t want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.

“There’s not really a lot of good in owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.

52. How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.

“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens(警笛) going, I fell behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”

But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.

Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地). At point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t

needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.

“Just about that time,” Hyde says, “ I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going every where. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”

“After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license.”（执照）

That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty—a thousand dollars for the new engine —not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.

56. The meaning of “ panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to ______

A. shame B. Hate C. anger D. fear

57. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?

A.Because he was racing with another driver on the road.

B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.

C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.

;.'

;.

D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.

58. Which of the following statements is true?

A.Someone else was taking care of the injured person.

B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.

C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.

D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.
