Fighting CD Copiers
How much do you want to pay for a CD by your favourite singer Jay Chou? Five yuan for a pirated one,or more for a real one?
Wang Ye,14. said she would like the real one although the pirated one is cheaper. "A real one is worth keeping for years," said the girl from No. 1Middle School in Wuhu,Anhui. "Real CDs always sound better to me."
What Can We Do?
People want to do more to help those like Wang to get real CDs.
This week the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI,国际唱片业协会) asked many countries to act against piracy.
In many places in China,the government is checking audio and video products (产品) . Pirated ones are broken into pieces.
Piracy is in your daily life. Don't believe it? A study by 21st Century Teens found that more than 75 percent of juniors had listened to pirated music. They say this is because pirated products are usually much cheaper than the real ones.
Why are real CDs so expensive? When a music company makes music,it needs to pay the song writers and singers. It costs a lot of money！This makes the prices of the CDs go up. Piracy is like stealing. People who make pirated copies of CDs take away the writers1 and singers' work without paying them. They don't even ask them if they can.
So next time you'd better keep your eyes widened when you see cheap CDs,remember you're helping someone to do something wrong if you buy them.
How Do I Know What's Real? Already made up your mind to buy real ones? Well,you should get to know what real CDs look like.
A real CD has the name and trademark of the music company on the cover. The company's address,telephone number and fax number are also on it.
If you open the CD box,you'll see the singer's name and the album title. Most important of all,a real CD has a number from the IFPI on it.
But people who make pirated CDs need the real CD and disks to copy them. That's why some CDs are only five yuan,but some may sell for 150.
( ) 11. A real CD has on it.
A. the name of the company
B. the number from the IFPI

The temperature of your body should be always just the same,no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. That is why the doctor uses his thermometer (温度计) when you are sick. When you are well,your temperature is about 37^. If he finds it higher than that,it is a sure sign that something is wrong.
The body keeps the same temperature all the time,because it balances the heat it produces and gives off. It is always burning up food and producing heat. It will produce heat faster when it needs to,and give off heat faster when it is too hot. Let's see how this happens.
The heat of your body is given off chiefly through the skin. When you are cold,your skin is tight and shows " goose flesh". At this time you usually prefer warming up by exercise,or put on more clothes to keep heat in.
When you are hot,the skin is loose and soft. It is supplied with more blood,and the heat is given off rapidly. If you are very hot,you begin to sweat. In this way,more body heat is given off from your skin. You wear less clothes,too,so that the heat can be given off freely. You may not want to exercise at this moment because your body is hot already,and the extra heat produced by exercise makes you uncomfortable.
You will feel differently in different kinds of weather as well. In summer,when it is hot,you feel tired and lazy. You do not want to work or play,but enjoy lying down and doing nothing. But when you get out of doors in winter,the cold air makes you feel lively. You want to run and play.
( ) 11. Doctors take a patient's temperature to see .
A. whether a person is ill or not
B. if the patient's skin is loose or soft
C. what the weather is like
D. whether a person feels hot or cold
( ) 12. How does the body keep the same temperature all the time?
A. It balances the heat it gets and loses.
B. It gives off the heat produced in it.
C. It is always producing heat from food.
D. It stops producing heat when necessary.
( ) 13. When one feels too hot,he begins to sweat in order to .
A. produce more water
B. give off heat quickly
C. make the skin soft and loose
D. get the blood to move faster
( ) 14. We feel differently in different kinds of weather because .
A. our body temperature is always changing with the weather
B. warm weather makes us feel lazy and cold one makes us active
C. we are moody according to the changes of temperature
D. our bodies react differently to keep the same temperature
( ) 15. We can read this article .
