B
For a song to become popular, people need to bear it.  In order for people to hear it, the program directors at radio stations have to play it on the air. A song’s popularity is directly related to how often it is played. That is a big responsibility for program directors. How do they decide what gets played and what doesn’t?
In the past, disc jockeys(音乐节目主持人) decided what music was played on the radio. These DJs had an ear for music and an understanding of what their audience wanted to hear. Today, that is all changing. Most major radio stations are owned by a few large national businesses. The decision of what gets played on the radio is made by executives(主管) who have little or no interest in music. They do, however, know how to run a business, and they know what sells. So, the music industry designs and creates pop entertainers, and executives in the radio industry make sure that their music is played on the radio. This explains why you do not often hear anything new and fresh on the radio. The executives do not want to give air time to music that has not been tested on the market. It is too risky. They prefer to go with music that they already know will sell. They know it will sell because it sold last week and last month and last year. They just have to change it a little.
One of the most criticized(批评) practices in the music industry is the practice of “payola”. This is when record companies pay radio stations to play the music of a given artist. This practice makes many people lose trust in the music industry and is therefore against the law. A radio station can accept money in exchange for air time of a song, but they have to make it clear that the song is being played because its air time was paid for. They cannot present the song as if it were part of the normal play schedule(时刻表).
Payola affects both artists and audiences. The artists who work with small record companies that cannot pay a lot of money to radio stations have a much harder time getting exposure. It creates an unfair playing field. Music lovers suffer because they are not able to hear all the music that is available.
60. According to the passage, most major radio stations belong to       .
A. national businesses                      B. program directors   
C. pop entertainers                         D. record companies
61. “Payola” is the practice of        .
A. artists paying radio stations to play their songs
B. record companies buying air time for certain music
C. radio station paying record company for new songs
D. program directors deciding what music gets played
62. Who can make the largest profits from payola?
A. Disc Jockeys.                               B. The given artists.
C.  Business executives.                        D. Program directors.
63. It can be concluded from the passage that the author        .
A. has a positive attitude towards the practice of “payola”
B. is dissatisfied with the present situation in music industry
C. is calling for a change in the normal play schedule
D. thinks that the radio stations are doing the right thing

B
Listen carefully,working people! We would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
It’s“no”.What do you ask? We’ll say it again:“No”,a sweet and simple“no”.Say“no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself. Time is precious.People are spending money buying time。And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”said Leslie Charles,a professional speaker from East Lansing,Michigan.Susie Watson,a famous writer,said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment.“I would rather have someone give me a loving‘no’ than all obligated(强制的)‘yes’,”she said.She feels “no” need to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally.Does she feel guilty about it?“Not at all,”said Watson,who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury.Connecticut.“Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’.My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time.“Every year there are more demands on your time.Other people are happy to use up your time.”Watson said.Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
“No” can be your new friend.a powerful tool to take back your life.“No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.“No” is power and strength.“No” now seems completely correct.
“Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy.But finally it’s greatly liberating,”Charles said.But,he added,a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term
habit.But.he also warns:“Don’t go to extremes.Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”
45.The underlined part “you are saying ‘yes’ to  yourself” probably means that          .
A.you can have more time to play with others
B.you needn’t mind  other’s feeling when happy
C.you are selfish and may treat others rudely
D.you can do with your business as planned
46.When you say “no” to others,you should say it          .
A. secretly    B.politely    C.proudly D.guiltily
47.In Watson’s opinion,people can save much time if they          .
A.1earn to refuse    B. refuse as much as possible
C.fear to refuse     D. refuse without hesitation
48.If you say “no” to everything.you’11          .

Oct.30
I can’t believe it ! Three other students—I met them at a lecture and they' re all about my own age—have invited me to share a flat with them.It's in an old house and it has its own kitchen, so   we can cook for ourselves.And my room—righy at the top of the house—is fantastic!
Nov.10
I moved into my new room last Sunday.I feel really happy.Life is going to be so much more fun from now on!
