Thousands of writers in Los Angeles and New York went on strike this week, risking their incomes and careers. They want more money for their work when it is used online than Hollywood studios are willing to pay. Because the strike is over matters of principle, not just dollars and cents, it could last for months. The immediate effect was to shut down late-night talk shows, including "Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".
Media companies argue that the market has become increasingly competitive and uncertain for many reasons. including internet piracy and tumbling box-office receipts. They want to cut writers’ income from "residuals", which are payments made when a TV show is re-used. The writers are determined not to repeat the mistake they made in 1985, when they listened to the studios’ plea that home video was an unproven new market and agreed to a residual payment of 0.3%, which translates into
A. The mere purpose of this strike is to increase writers’ income in general.
B. The main purpose of this strike is to achieve financial freedom online.
C. The mere aim of this strike is to put pressure on Hollywood studios.
D. The strike resulted in the suspension of several talk shows.
[单项选择]From Boston to Los Angeles, from New York City to Chicago to Dallas, museums are either planning, building, or finishing wholesale expansion programs. These programs already have dramatically altered appearances and floor plans or are expected to do so in the not-too-distant future.
In New York City alone, six major institutions have spread up and out into the air space and neighborhoods around them or are preparing to do so.
The reasons for this activity are complex, but one factor is a consideration everywhere—space. With collections expanding, with the needs and functions of museums changing, empty space has become a very precious commodity.
Probably nowhere in the country is this more tree than at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has needed additional space for decades and which received its last significant facelift ten years ago. Because of the space crunch, the Art Museum has become increasingly cautious in considering acquisitions and donations of art,
A. Museums’ functions are changing.
B. Museums’ collections have been enlarged.
C. Most museums need more space.
D. More new museums must be built.

[单项选择]Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists are using a new technique to see fingerprints on surfaces that typically make them invisible.
The method uses a technology called mini-X-ray fluorescence (荧光) to detect chemical elements in fmgerprints without altering them, said Christopher Worley, a scientist on the project.
"The conventional methods are meant to bring out fingerprint patterns with regular light and they have to treat those with powder, which alters them," Worley said. "With this you do not have to alter it or treat it at all. We can determine the elements in a fingerprint and get a pattern at the same time."
The technology focuses a tight beam of X-rays on surfaces with fingerprints and creates a computer picture out of those scans.
The equipment costs about $175,000.
For big labs, the method could be a great way to bring out prints that can’t be seen any other way, said Vahid Majidi, another lab scientist.
"The technique fills a unique gap," Ma
A. the natural oil of one’s finger is unique
B. everyone’s fingerprint patterns are unique
