It has been ten years since Diana，Princess of Wales，was killed in a car crash with Dodi Al Fayed in Paris，yet she remains an iconic(圖標)figure in the UK，whose image continues to appear on magazine covers and newspaper headlines．

    Diana’s death triggered an outpouring of national grief and a decade of conspiracy(陰謀) theories, linking her death to the British security forces and even the royal family．

  The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.

   Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed from will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers(廣告商)，readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor(主編) of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guandian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”

    Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.

53. What can we learn about the New England Courant?

   A. It is mainly about the stock market.

   B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.

   C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.

   D. It carries articles by political leaders.

54. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?

   A. They often accept readers’ suggestions.

   B. They care a lot about each other’s health.

   C. They stop doing business with advertisers.

   D. They face great difficulties in their business.

55. Which of the following found a new way for its development?

   A. The Washington Post.

   B. The Guardian.

   C. The New York Times.

   D. New England Courant.

56. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?

   A. Satisfied.

   B. Hopeful.

   C. Worried.

   D. Surprised.

A lazy Susan is an addition to a table, which is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is accomplished through the use of a turntable(轉盤), which usually moves the food in a circle when pushed by those at table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place as the lazy Susan is turned about.
A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet. One may spin the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods stored in it. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.
Whether the lazy Susan is on a tabletop or within a cabinet, it can be made of a variety of materials. Most commonly, a lazy Susan is made of either plastic, wood or glass. Some people believe that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan, though it was referred to as a dumb waiter(上菜升降架) at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph(留聲機), which later developed into the lazy Susan.
Regardless of who invented it, it wasn’t until 1917 that the term lazy Susan was created in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term dumb waiter is still used rather than the term lazy Susan. The reason for the name lazy Susan remains a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson’s or Edison’s daughter, both of whom were named Susan.
【小題1】 According to the passage, a lazy Susan _____.

A．is a person who serves food at table
B．is a waitress who helps move dinner tables
C．is an additional round table in a dining room
D．is a turntable that passes food around the table
【小題2】Which of the following is NOT true of the lazy Susan?
A．On a tabletop, it is convenient for people to have dinner.
B．Within a cupboard, it is easy for people to see what is inside.
C．The turntable was invented in 1917.
D．It can be made of many kinds of materials.
【小題3】Why did Jefferson’s daughter complain she was served last when having meals?
A．Because she was too lazy.
B．Because she was the youngest.
C．Because the table was too tall for her.
D．Because the table couldn’t move food for her.
【小題4】 From the passage, we can know that _____.
A．the lazy Susan was invented earlier than the phonograph
B．Susan was the name of Jefferson’s and Edison’s daughter
C．Jefferson and Edison invented the lazy Susan at the same time
D．When people talk about a lazy waitress they use the term “Susan”
【小題5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．What is a lazy Susan?
B．When was the lazy Susan created?
C．Why do inventions come from the daily life?
D．How was “dumb waiter” replaced by “l(fā)azy Susan”?

The legal age for drinking alcohol in the United States is twenty-one. Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, as do measures. But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.
The United States has more than 17000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken.
One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drinking. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005
Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.
The rules govern behavior on campus (校園) and off. With a first violation(違犯), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second "strike," they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.
Since 2005, 363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike -- and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change behavior and the culture at the university
