19、Message Board!Subject: Slimming down classics?Mr. Handsome. 2007-5-12 6:34 A.M.Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to a
20、bout 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at 6.99 and advertised as great reads in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to fol
21、low. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions. Mr. Edwards 2007-5 -129:40 A.M.Well, Im publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. I must say, the idea developed from a game of shame in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the
22、most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we
23、never were going to read these ones. As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but its not as if were withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.Ms. Weir2007 -5 -1211 : 35 A.M.Im director of the online book club www. lo
24、vereading, co. uk. Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. Im guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because its just so long. Id much rather read two 300-page hooks than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics!Mr. Crockatt2007-5- 124:38 P
25、.M.Im from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell. In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? Im afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people dont have time to read Anna Karenina, then
26、 fine, But dont read a shortened version and kid yourself, its the real thing.56. According to the message board, Orion Books _. A. opposes the reading of original classics B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future D. is cautious about its decision
27、to cut down classics57. In Mr. Edwards opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to _. A. make them easier to read B. meet a large demand in the market C. increase the sales of literary books D. compete with their original versions58. By describing the shortened classics as a breath of fresh air,
28、Ms. Weir _. A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics B. shows her love for original classics C. feels guilty of not reading the classics D. disapproves of shortening the classics59. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that _. A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt B. shortening the classics do
29、es harm to the original C. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult job D. editing the classic works satisfies childrens needsB Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the website youve visited, or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card
30、purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits. In fact, its likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they w
31、ilt see you in a way you never intended to be seen-the 2lst century equivalent of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and hirers in stages, at appropriate time. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumb
32、s (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. The key question is: Does that m
33、atter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is no. When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is slipping away, and that bother
34、s me. But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyal
35、ty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cent-off coupon (优惠券). But privacy does matter at least sometimes. Its like health. When you have it,
36、you dont notice it. Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.60. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other. B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should lie a distance even between f
37、riends. D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.61. Why does the author say we live in a world where you simply can not keep a secret ? A. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society. B. People leave traces around when using modern technology. C. There are always people who are
38、 curious about others affairs. D. Many search engines profit by revealing peoples identities.62. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection? A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity. B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions. C. They rely more an
39、d more on electronic devices. D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.63. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that _. A. people will make every effort to keep it B. its importance is rarely understood C. it is something that can easily be lost D. people dont cherish it unt
40、il they lose itC As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part
41、 of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gels out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The
42、amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at first sight of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react bot
43、h chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between flight or fight and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response, h is when such a reactio
44、n lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cant remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.64. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _.A. they rega
45、rd working as their greatest enjoyment B. they believe that work is superior to relaxationC. they are traveling fast all the time D. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before65. According to the author, the most important character tot a good manager is his _. A. strong will to hold out stress B. knowing the art of relaxation C. high sense of responsibility
