5、Cirque du Soleil(say it:Serk du So-lay)is being accused of out-dated thinking about the dangers of AIDS．It is a modern acrobatic circus from Canada that tours in the United States and other countries.
Last April,the company fired Matthew Cusick because he was HIV positive．This was after he spent four months learning his part in an act.
A spokesman for the circus said Cusick was fired for safety reasons．They said he was a danger to others.
He disagreed.
Hundreds of people picketed a show in San Francisco．They said that firing him was not legal．
Cusick says the company knew he was HIV positive when they hired him．It was not fair to let him put so much time into learning his act,and then fire him before he performed.
He says he is not a danger to others．People can only get AIDS if infected blood contacts another person's blood,or open wound.
The company says what their acrobats do is very,very dangerous．They perform tricks without nets．Someone might fall and get hurt．It could be bloody．They say it is too risky to let a person with HIV take part in an act.
People who run the circus say it hurts to be accused of discrimination.
Matthew Cusick says he feels hurt that he can't perform in the big blue and yellow tent.
Dozens of artists,actors,writers and entertainers got involved in protesting the firing of Matthew Cusick．Some names you might know are:the Actors'Equity Union(45,000 members),Rosie O'Donnell,Rod McKuen,and Chad Allen．They also protested at a showing in Orange County．They said"HIV discrimination is unacceptable."
Protestors claimed it was wrong to fire Matthew Cusick merely because he was__.

6、There Pictures from outer space now show us how much land has changed on earth．These images are taken by Landsat 7,a government satellite．The satellites have been used for 27 years．They reveal the clear-cutting of forests in the northwestern part of the United States．Pictures show the loss of rain forests in South America.
NASA's Darrel Williams speaks about the Landsat 7 Project．He said that an eruption caused trees to burn up in a large forest．Fifteen years later,pinkish images from space show that the trees and plant life are growing again．Williams says that clear-cut areas easily show up in the pictures．He wants Americans to look at how much land is being cleared of forests in our country.
Satellites have provided other information about changes on earth．In the past ten years,more than four miles have shrunk from glaciers in Alaska．Landsat 7 received these computer images of Glacier Bay in Alaska.
Hurricanes Floyd and Irene have damaged the coastline in North Carolina．Runoff from farms and silt have gone into the．ocean according to satellite images．Loss of trees and forests have caused hotter summers in southern cities such as Atlanta,Georgia.
The Landsat 7 images are like pictures in a photo album．Instead of pictures of the family,the album shows changes around the globe in the past 25 years.
A new satellite,Terra,is going to be launched by NASA soon．It will be more advanced than Landsat 7 and will take important global pictures．Ocean temperatures and energy loss will be provided by Terra daily.
NASA can tell that vegetation is growing back because of__.

7、“If there is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．It is not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation．
The nature of what is news may change．What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though．It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives,like genetic(基因)engineering．In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are．
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home．In fact,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future．You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news,et
C．
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other．Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happene
D．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air．And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen．
In the writer’s opinion,in the future,_______．

8、――I've got your invitation．Oh，good．――＿＿＿＿

9、――＿＿＿＿．―――What's the matter7．

14、Music is part of the structure of our society; it sits at the heart of human experience and enriches(丰富)so many lives. Why, then, is it not central to our education system? This is a question I recently put forward to an all-party group on music education.I am 20 years old and began playing the piano at the Barracudas Band in Barrow-in-Furness,aged seven.The funding for the centre has now been cut. I took part in the primary tuition project, aged 11. The funding for that has also been cut now. It is a common problem across the country.Music is not an add-on, a “soft” subject or a luxury—it is absolutely essential to our existence.Every child deserves the opportunity to experience its benefits. Until music is held in the same regard as the “core” subjects of our curriculum, our society will be worse off. We need joy, empathy (共情) and hope on this planet more than ever, and taking away children’s opportunity to develop musical skills is to set ourselves up for a fall. Despite the many brilliant programs and projects to encourage young musicians (“Every Child a Musician,” “Awards for Young Musicians,” to name but a few), we are reaching a crisis point. We are in danger of destroying creativity, innovation(创新)and expression. Learning an instrument can help develop so many fundamental life skills. It promotes discipline, empathy, determination and cooperation as well as providing a sense of community and worth.Music has changed my life. It is a huge part of who I am. I have learned so much about the worldThrough music and the inspiring figures I have met through it I feel I have a duty to help ensure that others can benefit from its magic. Let us make it available to every single child.What does the author think of the role of music?
