举一反三
The television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has accomplished something many adults can’t achieve,” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Ben’s two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts（手稿）by an eagle eyed publisher. They were self-published, at the cost of $400 by Ben’s parents.
Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.”
The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr. Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “Literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make a better. Ben’s father, Ken, said Ben’s ambitions “weren’t to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that you’ve done something.”
Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. “Being a published author,” she said, “was always a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15.
小题1:Which of the following is true of Ben?| A．He has achieved something unusual for his age. | | B．His self-published books were well received. | | C．His manuscripts were favored by the publisher. | | D．He was thought little of by the public media. |
小题2:What makes it possible for writers of all ages to self-publish their works?| A．The rapid increase of online readership. | | B．The increasing number of publishers. | | C．The immediate access to marketing agencies. | | D．The development of printing and publishing. |
小题3:Why do some parents pay the self-publishing bill?| A．They want to offer opportunities to their children. | | B．They want to give encouragement to their children. | | C．They want to help their children avoid hardship. | | D．They want to show love and care for their children. |
小题4:What dose Alan Rinzler suggest that children should do?| A．Be forbidden to write books | | B．Start writing at an early age | | C．Be professionally guided | | D．Learn from experience |
小题5:Why do some children self-publish works according to the last part?| A．Just to achieve their dreams. | | B．Just to earn more money. | | C．Just to gain self-confidence. | | D．Just to satisfy their parents. |

In Denmark, parents are allowed to set up a new school if they are dissatisfied with the school in the area where they are living. Although these schools have to follow the national courses, they are allowed a lot of choice in deciding what to teach.

Holding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.
If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects are huge. Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillion(万亿)minutes annually - earn $109 billion for the wireless carriers.
Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, “Disconnect.” The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.
Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.
“Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid（易吸收的液体）. No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen（腹部）.
小题1:Why is the warning in the small print?| A．They think people will not care about it. | | B．There is not enough space for the warning. | | C．They don’t want the users to pay attention to it. | | D．The warning is not important at all. |
小题2:What does the underlined word in sixth paragraph probably mean?| A．acceptable | B．valuable | C．accessible | D．easily affected |
小题3:What can we conclude from the last paragraph?| A．Pregnant women should keep cell phones away. | | B．People should use cell phones in the correct way. | | C．If you are a child, you’d better text than make phone calls. | | D．When you use a cell phone, use a wired headset or the phone’s speaker. |
小题4:What does the passage mainly talk about?| A．Be careful when using cell phones. | | B．Don’t hold your cell phone against your ear. | | C．Rats exposed to radiation have damaged DNA in their brains. | | D．Low-energy radiation could damage cells that could lead to cancer. |
