What began with the invention of the
telephone in 1876 has today become a global net of cables, satellites,
transmitters, and receivers that enables half the population of the planet to
exchange works, data, and images in seconds. It could take less than 25 years
more to give the other half of the world’s people this same power.
The unified global telecommunications system, which is called "the
Meganet’, represents the greatest construction project ever undertaken. If
present trends continue, by early in the 21st century the Meganet
will link every computer terminal, fax machine, databank, and telephone
instrument on earth. Unlike its anarchic (无政府主义的) cousin the
Internet, which evolved from free interaction among interest groups of computer
users, the Meganet of local telephone service, long-distance lines,
co A. sponsored by governments B. similar to its cousin the Internet C. the continuity of the Internet D. evolved from spontaneous interaction among interest groups of computer users

What makes Reader’s Digest the most successful
magazine in publishing history Beneath the fun and excitement that fill our
pages, we are, above all else, a serious magazine. Our readers are serious
people. The Digest never loses sight of the fact that each day all of us
confront a tough, challenging world. To millions who know our record of viewing
this world, we are not a luxury; we are a necessity. Basic to
our magazine is a steady focus on the power of the individual. We show that
man’s greatest ideas and accomplishment, his often stunning (极好的) faith and
courage and hope, can be seen in the conduct of ordinary men and women. We
reflect the universal skepticism that government can solve our problems; we
herald the unending promise of self-determination and individual enterprise.
Readers depend upon us for truth and accuracy, A. it provides fun and excitement to its readers B. it views the world as the ordinary people do C. it presents people with solutions to life’s problems D. it has such a long history that every generation is reading it

About one million years ago, the Ice
Age began. The Ice Age was a long period of time in which four great glaciers
pushed southward to cover almost all the upper half of North America, and then
melted away. Each glacier was a thick sheet of ice and snow that spread out from
a centre near what is now Hudson Bay in Canada. The winters were long, and the
cool summers were too short to melt much of the ice and snow. The ever-growing
sheet built up to a thickness of two miles at its centre. As all
glaciers do, these great glaciers slid. They pushed down giant trees in their
paths and scraped the earth bare of soil. Many animals moved farther south to
escape. Others stayed and were destroyed. When winters of little
snow came, the summer sun cut into the edges of the ice sheets. As the glaciers
melted, rocks, soil and other things A. glaciers are destructive B. all glaciers in the world move southward C. the Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio system is larger than it was before the Ice Age D. the Great Lakes are now smaller than they were before the Ice Age
