17、ne of the first to go out there and pet it. I hadnt touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years. I spent at least 20minutes, knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around, relaxed. What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly. It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand
18、 and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care.Over the next few days there were other prisoners responding to the cat. Every yard period, a group of prisoners gathered there. They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat. These were guys yo
19、u wouldnt usually find talking to each other. Several times I saw an officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners. Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from g
20、etting it.The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape. People said that the cat came to the right place. Hes getting treated like a king. This was true. But as I watched, I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us. There was a lot of talk about whats wrong with prisons in Ame
21、rica. We need more programs. We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds. Some may even talk about making prisons more kind. But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness. Not receive it, but give it. After more than two decades here, I know kindness is not a
22、value thats encouraged. Its often seen as a weakness.Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak.The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here. By simply saying, I need some help here, he did someth

27、ever buy beerjust rent it. Who would think that the same joke applies to book buying in the digital age? But thats the case. Many people who will be loading their iPads or Amazon Kindles with bestsellers or classics wont have any idea how limited their rights are as their books owners. Unlike the ow
28、ners of a physical book, they wont have the unlimited right to lend an e-book, give it away, or resell it.All these restrictions raise obvious questions about what ownership is, observes Dan Gillmor, an expert on digital media. The companies that license stuff digitally have made it clear that you o
29、wn nothing. The rules are based on the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), with which Congress hoped to balance the rights of copyright holders and content users. In the digital environment, thats always been the trickiest balance to achieve, Annemarie Bridy, a specialist said.Both camps h
30、ave important fights to protect. In the digital world, technology allows infinite(无限的）copies to be made. One could give away an e-book and still have it to read. This becomes a great threat to the livelihood of authors, artists, filmmakers and musicians. So some limitation is sensible. Thats usually
31、 done through digital rights management, or DRM, which encodes copy limitations into the digital file. The DMCA protected DR M. The question is whether the balance has given an unfair advantage to the booksellers, at the consumers expense. The answer is yes.For one thing, DRM has put far too much po
32、wer in the hands of digital booksellers. In 2009, Amazon simply deleted some e-books from buyers, Kindles secretly. An uproar(鼓噪）followed. Amazon then promised never to steal a book back from a Kindle without the device owners permission. But in early 2012, the company shut down the access of Linn J
33、ordet Nygaard, a Norwegian Kindle owner, to her library of 43 e-books. Another uproar followed, and Amazon backed down again, restoring Nygaards account.Another problem of e-book DRM is that most e-books are tied to the sellers reading device. Buy a book from Amazon, and you can read it only on a Ki
34、ndle or Amazon app. This lock-in gives the booksellers power over not only consumers but publishers.Moreover, nowhere does Amazon, Apple or any other distributor promise to support its digital formats forever. There are ways to protect your e-books by changing the format. But is it legal? No one is
35、quite sure.The guiding principle must be that an e-book owners rights and responsibilities parallel those of a printed book owner, and the same must apply to authors, publishers and booksellers.Clarify these rules, and the book market will reap the benefit.Leave the rules as vague (模糊的) as they are,
36、 and the victims will be authors, consumers and publishers.8. The author mentions the old joke to say that_.A. book buying is easier in the digital ageB. buyers do not really own their e-booksC. it is a good choice just to borrow e-booksD. e-books are convenient compared with physical ones9. Which o
37、f the following is TRUE about the DMCA?A. It turned out to benefit digital booksellers.B. It seems a little unfair to digital booksellers.C. It has become a threat to the livelihood of authors.D. It actually played a trick on copyright holders and content users.10. The underlined part backed down in
38、 Para. 4 probably means_.A. felt guiltyB. gave inC. broke a promiseD. made an apology11. What is the authors suggestion?A. Booksellers should be punished by la w for their marketing strategy.B. Booksellers should make a formal public apology to the victims.C. E-book readers should buy e-books direct
39、ly from publishers.D. E-books should be treated the same as physical books.DAs a “major” at university, philosophy may not be so popular nowadays, for it seems to be too abstract, remote and impractical, unlike subjects such as computing, finance, accounting and so on.Fundamentally speaking, the wor
40、d “philosophy”，originated from the Greek meaning “love of wisdom”, originally included all kinds of knowledge. In that world dominated by supernatural gods, philosophers and scientists were the same, and their wisdom was started by asking questions. They believed that everything in the world is comp
41、osed of air and attempted to examine the air and the sun - these quests developed their wisdom.The relations between man and the world may be divided into three categories, namely the relationships between man and nature, man and society and within the human self, which are studied separately by the
42、 natural sciences, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology; social sciences, such as sociology, economics, politics, law, ethics; and sciences of thinking, such as brain science, neuroscience(神经学), psychology, logic. Philosophy, however, is none of these branches of learning but their abstr
43、action and generalization.The benefits of studying philosophy may be realized as follows: First, it assists people to properly adjust the relations between nature, society and the self, becoming fully aware of where they stand macrocosmically(宏观地)and microcosmically. Second, it makes people think mo
44、re systematically, combining various “separated materials”. Essentially, philosophy is the study of thinking, analyzing issues from different angles before anything can be taken in. Special attention is paid to strict reflection during every stage of thinking and this process itself is included as p
45、art of its study, so as to form a pattern of clear critical thinking. Third, philosophy can also shape ones character. Difficult thinking, reasoning and summarizing result in people becoming firmer and more persistent in a deep sense. Since philosophy is finally about living, it leads to an apprecia
46、tion of meaningful life through perfecting personality.In a sense, philosophy is in fact widely applicable and has been studied and acquired by experts of natural and social sciences and many philosophers, both at home and abroad, who have become celebrities either in their specialist fields of stud
47、y or in their switched professions as generalists.Therefore, philosophy is not abstract, nor remote, but of profound use.12. How is the second paragraph mainly developed?A. By classification.B. By time.C. By definition.D. By comparison.13. Which is NOT one of the relations between man and the world?
48、A. to understand nature.B. to understand humans.C. to understand logic.D. to understand society.14. What benefit can people get from learning philosophy?A. People can become fully aware of the standing place on the earth.B. People can become firmer and seldom change their ideas.C. People will have a simple understanding of the life through appreciation.D. People will form an opinion after viewing a matter from different aspects.15What
