The earth’s best-known encyclopedia(百科全书) announced today that it would no longer publish print editions. Like so many newspapers and publishing houses, Encyclopedia Britannica is going completely digital.
Jorge Cauz is President of Encyclopedia Britannica. He says the company is now focusing on digital learning. “We’re digital, we’re mobile, and we’re social,”said Cauz. “We’re a very different company from 20 or 30 years ago.”Britannica encyclopedias were first published in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1768. Americans started buying them at the turn of the 20th century. In the mid- 1900s, salesmen would go door-to-door to sell the books. The company’s first digital reference was created in1981. CD-ROMs came out in1989 and Britannica went to the Web in 1994.
But Britannica didn’t take the electronic world very seriously during the last 20 years. Because people turned to the Internet, the company’s sales went down. What hasn’t changed is the way Britannica creates its material. The company has thousands of expert writers and more than 100 editors. Contributors include many scholars, Nobel laureates and
world leaders, such as Bill Clinton and Desmond Tutu.
Britannica’s website also provides educational tools. At Britannica Online School Edition, teachers share lesson plans. Online versions of the encyclopedia serve more than 100 million people around the world. The company plans to mark the end of print edition by making the contents of its website free for one week.
56. The third paragraph is mainly developed _____.

A French wine producer is spreading the wealth with his workers after they
discovered nearly $ 1milion worth of gold coins stored in the building’s ceiling, according to a French newspaper.
“One of the workers was attacking the building’s ceiling when gold coins started to rain down on him, followed by sacks of gold, ” Francois Lange, the head of a wine company in Les Riceys, France, told the reporter. It’s not unusual to hear about treasure hunters searching the ocean for gold and other precious metals lost at sea, but finding $ 1million in your office ceiling is an uneasy thing and a valuable one too, given that demand for gold has reached a new height recently. In 2011, about 31 grams of gold was valued at $ 1,920.30.
In all, 497 gold coins were discovered, raining down upon the workers who were busy repairing the building. Made between 1851 and 1928, the coins have a face value marking of $ 20 each. However, together they are now worth nearly $ 1million, according to the newspaper. Lange says he will keep half of the money for himself, and the other half will be shared with the workers who made the discovery. No one knows for sure who placed the coins in the building, but the newspaper reports the building was owned by a wine producer in the 1930s.
People haven’t known much about these coins for now but don’t be surprised if this “buried”treasure story still has another chapter to be told. After all, the $ 1 million of gold coins once belonged to somebody. Just look at the recent legal case being argued between Spain and people who found more than $500 million worth of gold coins in a sunken ship.
60. What were these workers doing when the coins poured down?
A. They were searching for gold
B. They were repairing the building
C. They were pulling down the building
D. They were cleaning the building
61. What can we learn about Francois Lange?
A. He is a French wine producer.
B. He is a reporter of a newspaper.
C. He will have all the valuable coins.
D. He is the head of the building
workers.
62. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the price of gold has gone down recently
B. a gram of gold was worth about 62 dollars in 2011
C. each of the gold coins is worth 20 dollars now
D. the gold coins belonged to Lange’s father
63. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Someone has discovered some treasures somewhere.
B. These finders will give coins to the poor.
C. Nobody says these coins should belong to him.
D. There will be further reports about these gold coins.

Launched in 1935, Social Security is a federal program that provides money for retirees, the disabled and living family members of workers who have died.
Social Security benefits are funded through a Social Security tax that most U.S. employees pay. However, the money that employees pay is not held in a personal account that they can later draw from. Instead, the tax they pay now is being used to pay people who are currently receiving benefits.
Although most of the people receiving Social Security are retirees, many others are eligible for assistance. These recipients(接受者) include the disabled, a spouse(配偶) or child of someone who gets Social Security, a spouse or child of a worker who died, or a dependent parent of a worker who died.
Depending on circumstances, people may be eligible for Social Security benefits at any age. According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, 85 cents of every dollar Social Security is used for current retires and their families, as well as surviving spouses and children of workers who have died. The other 15 cents is used for people with disabilities and their families.
When employees are ready to receiver their Social Security, payments are based on how much they earned during their career, with higher lifetime earnings resulting in higher monthly benefits.
Benefits amounts are also affected by the age at which an employee decides to retire. Payments are available as early as age 62, but the value would be about 25 percent lower than what’s collected by those who wait until full retirement age, which ranges from 66 to 67 years old depending on the year in which they were born. Today, about 159 million people work and pay Social Security taxes, and roughly 55 million receive monthly benefits.
67. Most of the Social Security benefits are intended for _____.
A. the retirees
B. the disabled
C. workers’ family
D. workers who have died
68. What does the underlined word “eligible” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. available
B. qualified
C. concerned
D. accessible
69. We can infer from the passage that_____.
A. all U.S. citizens should pay Social Security tax
B. Social Security benefits can be got when people get married
C. Social Security reflects the problems of America’s economy
D. the earlier people retire, the less Social Security benefits they get
70. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To show the government’s care for the disabled.
B. To introduce the importance of Social Security.
C. To introduce how Social Security works in America.
D. To call on U.S. employees to pay Social Security tax.

Dealing with Disapproval
As teenagers, it is common for us to experience disapproval. However, disapproval may sometimes discourage us and crash our self-confidence. So what we need to do is to learn to cope with disapproval.
Firstly, when disapproved, never lose heart. Instead, if you think their comments are reasonable, you should try to find your own weaknesses and believe that you can make progress. Otherwise, if you think you are right, just try to prove yourself. Moreover, talk to your friends or parents for their opinions and advice, and you may get good reasons for the disapproval and get your puzzle solved, which will help you improve.
To sum up, it is necessary for us to learn to deal with disapproval properly. Anyway, it is part of our life and will go with our growth.。
