The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature- - not every student likes being

11、 and will most certainly continue to do so, and it says that the industry is “more and more dominated by a small number of US- based media giants with extraordinary creative and financial firepower”. The BBC added,“Their business models and huge budgets mean we are increasingly being squeezed out of
12、 an ever more competitive environment. British creativity and British content are now under real threat.” However, the broadcaster is determined to do all it can to survive in the ever more digital TV world increasingly controlled by companies like Netflix and Amazon. In that regard, it laid out a f
13、ew goals for the year that are aimed at keeping the BBC competitive. One focus will be its iPlayer platform.

19、opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV. Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Sq
20、uare Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 70 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, h
21、is wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice.

No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, “Im glad its you and not me.” Suddenly, my mind transported me to my first few years of teaching. “Peter Potter,” I called from my nam
30、e list, trying to control my laughter. “Laughlin McLaughlin?” Surely these were not real names. “Emotionally disabled.keeps them separated from the other kids.,” the vice headmaster commanded. This was my first teaching assignment. Surely this year could never be as discouraging as those first few.
31、In my new classroom, I looked into the face of Jason. At eleven, his mother was killed in an accident, leaving him with physical, academic, and certainly emotional scars.
