Did Steve Jobs kill the music industry? That’s the question on many people’s lips since rock star Jon Bon Jovi accused the Apple boss of personally destroying the music industry.Bon Jovi centers his criticism on how he believes music downloading has robbed young people of what he calls the “beauty of buying an album”. “Kids today have missed the beauty of taking your pocket money and making a decision based on the jacket (封面), not knowing what the record sounded like,” he said.

But far from killing the industry, many young people today think Jobs has been a blessing (带来幸运的人), offering you instant, and selective access to a whole world of music.

Keith Staskiewicz at Enthertainment Weekly speaks for the feelings of many music lovers. He believes listening to MP3s rather than records or CDs “just save money” and doesn’t “remove the sense of discovery they get from new music”. Staskiewicz also argues that it’s wrong to blame Jobs and Apple for destroying anything. “Change is just part of the business,” Staskiewicz said. “No doubt in 50 years, Justin Bieber will complain about how kids don’t listen to ipods anymore.”

For now, though, it appears that music downloading is set to continue for the near future.

According to Summer Redstone, chairman of media company Viacom, iTunes has “resurrected(复兴) the music industry by creating a legal, affordable purchasing system for fans”.

But recent surveys suggested that, despite the “legalizing(合法化)” of music downloading through sites like iTunes, young people are still choosing to download music illegally. A report by Jupiter Research suggested that illegal downloading sites are used three times as much as legal ones. The problem, according to its analyst Mark Mulligan, is how today’s youth grow up viewing music as something they can get for free.

He said, “Unless the musci industry can shift these consumers while they are young away from free consumption to paid music formats(格式), they may never develop music purchasing behavior and the recording industry could suffer long-term harm.”

1.Which one is TRUE about young people nowadays?

A．They are music lovers and are willing to save money to enjoy music.

B．The majority of them download music through legal sites like iTunes.

C．They are most likely to go back to the store to buy albums in the near future.

D．They are robbed of the change of enjoying music by Apple.

2.According to Mark Mulligan, the best solution to the problem of illegal music downloading is to_______.

A．legalize music downloading through sites like iTunes

B．help young people get used to paying for music

C．offer young people instant and selective access to a variety of music

D．create an affordable purchasing system for fans

3.What is the main point of the article?

A．How Steve Jobs and Apple destroyed the music industry.

B．Why young people prefer downloading music to buying albums.

C．The problem of illegal downloading of music.

D．Different opinions on effects of music downloading.

After Steve Jobs died, his friend Larry Ellison said something like this. “There will never be another Steve Jobs.” 1. Larry wrote this list of Steve’s life lessons to remind us all.

1. Love what you do.

Sure Steve became a billionaire when he brought Apple back. Apple was his calling --- even after he got fired from the company. We all have bad jobs at one point in our lives. But the question is: am I in the right job? Have I found the right company? Life doesn’t go on forever. 2.

2. Don’t do it all by yourself.

Steve learned a great leader can’t do it all by himself. He needs people. They must be talented. 3.They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail. In short, we have to learn to be a great leader if we want to see our great ideas and hard work truly have an influence on the world.

3. 4.

Apple was always the best at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users. It’s empathy (同理心) that helps Apple achieve this. Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product, he says “Wow, it’s just what I need.” Remember: you’re King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers (消费者) desire.

4. Don’t mess around with your health.

5.That’s the most important lesson from Steve’s life. It’s great to learn from him but, the fact is that he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly. Instead, Steve chose a naturopathic (自然疗法) solution that wasn’t effective. When he finally decided to take his doctor’s original advice, it was too late.

A. They must be inspired.

B. Be the best in your field.

C. Take your health seriously.

D. Get on our right path now.

E. Will this lead to a successful career?

F. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes.

It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. 1.

"Finding a job" is not the same as "choosing a job". Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. 2. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.

First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. 3. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.

Then ask yourself this question: In the following three areas—skills with people, skills with information and skills with things—which are your best skills?

After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. 4.

Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! 5.

A. It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.

B. Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job.

C. We must know what our ideal jobs are.

D. There is a difference between an interest and a skill.

E. Ask your friends about the work they do.

F. "Chance" may play a more important part than "decision".

G. Your parents may also give you some useful advice.

Sam, an unemployed man, said it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life. The first thing was a blanket at a church raffle(抽奖) when he was 25 years old. But this was much bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube(骰子), a state lottery(彩票) game. To win, a contestant must first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X, 100X, 500X, and 1000X. If he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables(变量) is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that you will win any money. Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a tough decision.

Finally, Sam flipped(翻转) a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000. Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking excitedly on his cell phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a little sports car.

Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month. His hospital bill was $110,000. And the insurance company for the little sports car's owner sued(起诉) Sam for $9,000 worth of repairs. Also, Sam still has to pay taxes on his winnings. Sam doesn't play the state lottery any more. He says it's better to be unlucky.

1.Sam won the blanket ________ years ago.

A. 25　　　　 B. 60　　　　 C. 35　　　　　　 D. 76

2.Sam won the lottery because ______.

A. he was lucky　　 B. he was good at math

C. he was smart　　 D. he was tough

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The lottery game was a complete lie.

B. Sam was quite familiar with the boy.

C. The owner of the car is now in hospital.

D. Sam will have none of the prize money left.

4.Sam’s experience shows that ______

A. everything has its time and that time must be watched.

B. he who risks nothing, gains nothing.

C. everything comes to him who waits.

D. he who laughs on Friday will weep on Sunday.

Steve Jobs knew from an early age that he was adopted (收养). “My parents were very open with me about that,” he recalled. He had a clear memory of sitting in the yard of his house, when he was six or seven years old, telling the girl who lived across the street. “Does that mean your real parents didn’t want you?” the girl asked. “My whole world was falling apart,” according to Jobs. “I remember running into the house, crying. And my parents said, ‘No, you have to understand.’ They were very serious and looked me straight in the eyes. They said, ‘We specially picked you out.’ Both of my parents said that and repeated it slowly for me. And they stressed every word in that sentence.”

Abandoned (被抛弃). Chosen. Special. These words became part of who Jobs was and how he thought of himself. His closest friends think that the knowledge that he was given up at birth left some scars (伤疤). “He wants to control everything because of his personality and the fact that he was abandoned at birth,” said one longtime colleague (同事), Del Yocam.“He wants to control his environment, and he sees his product as a part of himself.” Greg Calhoun, who became close to Jobs right after college, saw another effect. “Steve talked to me a lot about being abandoned,” he said. “It caused great pains and made him independent. He was different from others because he was born into a different world.”

Later in life, Jobs became a father and abandoned one of his children. Andy Hertzfeld, who worked with Jobs at Apple in the early 1980s, is among the few who remained close to Jobs. “To understand Jobs, you have to know the reason why he can’t control himself and is sometimes cruel and harmful to others,” he said. “That goes back to being abandoned at birth. The real problem was the theme of abandonment in Steve’s life.”

1.Which of the following is true about Jobs’ childhood?

A. He left his parents at the age of six or seven.

B. He was shocked knowing he was abandoned.

C. He couldn’t remember how he was abandoned.

D. His parents chose him because his family was poor.

2.What did Del Yocam think of Jobs?

A. He hated to be born with scars.

B. He liked to get things under control.

C. He enjoyed good working environment.

D. He wanted to influence everyone.

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. The fact that Jobs was abandoned.

B. Jobs’ pain from the abandonment.

C. Jobs’ talk with Greg Calhoun.

D. The world where Jobs lived.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Jobs didn’t bring up any children.

B. Jobs had a lot of close friends.

C. Abandonment influenced Jobs.

D. Nobody likes Jobs’ character.

5.What is the best title for this text?

A. Steve Jobs　　 B. Jobs’ Childhood

C. The Abandonment　　 D. A Terrible Memory
