You wouldn’t steal a car. You would never rob (搶劫) a bank or pick someone’s pocket. But you may be another kind of thief.
If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of their intellectual properly rights (知識產(chǎn)權).
Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day. Activities to tell people about intellectual property rights were held around the country.
Intellectual property includes inventions, literary (文學的) and artistic works, names, and pictures. They are of little value (價值) if they are not read, seen and used.
While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money and time making a new product. That’s why they have the right to make money from their work.
So buying pirated (盜版的) music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no respect for their hard work.
If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else. But those who make pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
The authors should ask for a fair price for their work. Earlier this year there was much talk about how much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
The copyright fee (版權費) also should be fair to the users. That’s good for the music’s popularity and society as well.
小題1:What is the author’s attitude towards protecting (保護) intellectual property rights7
A．He is for it.B．He is against it.
C．He doesn’t care about it.D．The article doesn’t tell us.
小題2:Which of the following do intellectual property rights not cover?
A．Inventions.B．Literary and artistic works.
C．Names end pictures.D．Pirated music.
小題3:According to the article, which of the following is true?
A. Authors should ask for a high price for their work,
B, The copyright fee should ha fair to users.
C. Authors, singers and actors have no right to make money from their work,
D. Buying pirated music by Jay Chou is very good.
小題4:What is the best title for the article?
A．Rob a BankB．Copyright Fees
C．Say No to pirated MusicD．World Intellectual Property Day

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:B
小題4:C
小題1:A 從文章的內(nèi)容來看， 作者是支持的。 所以選A
小題2:D 根據(jù)文章“Intellectual property includes inventions, literary (文學的) and artistic works, names, and pictures.”可看出答案。

Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You only need to follow the
bright traffic signs beside the highway and it will take you where you wish to go.
But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver needs to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the loneliest street to the popular restaurant around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers (乘客) at all times.

London taxi drivers not only “take” but also “give”. Every summer hundreds of poor children from London go for a day at the sea ― by taxi! There rides are paid by the taxi drivers.

We wanted to study how students at our school spend money. In order to study this, we made some questions to ask our classmates. First, we asked our classmates how much money they spent in one month. Then we asked how much money they spent on things like drinks, music, books, movies, computer games, and other things. Our math teacher helped us make a graph of our classmates’ answers.
