But it is not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder (译码器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There is a wide choiceevery thing is included from cooking to the latest news.If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an easy-to-remember number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109 so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible, so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the weeks best bargains. But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question, you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time. Journalists type new materials directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.London already has three services, One, transmitted(传送) by ITV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.56.

But they are only just beginning to discover one of the oldest medical weapons in the world: the Chinese technique of acupuncture.Experts can use acupuncture to diagnose heart disease before the patient has suffered a heart-attack. They can also end the dull pain of migraine headaches, ease the agony of arthritis (关节炎) and stomach ulcers(溃疡) and leave out major operations. All with no more equipment than a set of needles and the rules set down in the worlds oldest medical books written in China more than 4, 500 years ago.The theory of acupuncture holds that the body is made up of two opposing positive and negative forces. Illness develops when these forces are out of balance. When the needles of acupuncture are stuck in certain parts of the body, the balance is restored by blocking or increasing the flow of one or other of these two forces.Western doctors have suggested other reasons for the success of acupuncture in curing illness. Some believe that the small pain of the needles takes the patients mind off his or her illness; and others say that it works because the patient believes in it.

Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal website. Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with card. On line, shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card numberor sell the information over the Internet. puter hackers have broken down security system and that raises questions about the safety of card-holder information. Several months ago, 25,000 customers of CD universe, an on-line music retailer (批发商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a website after the retailer refused to pay US $157,828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for web-only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping online.

Why Thieves Steal Credit-card Information DThe United States is well-known for its network of major highways designed to help a driver get from one place to another in the shortest possible time. Although these wide modern roads are generally smooth and well maintained, with few sharp curves and many straight sections, a direct route is not always the most enjoyable one. Large highways often pass by scenic areas and interesting small towns. Furthermore, these highways generally connect large urban centers which means that they bee crowded with traffic during rush hours, when the “fast, direct” way bees a very slow route. However, there is almost always another route to take if you are not in a hurry. Not far from the relatively new “super highways” there are often older, less heavily traveled roads which go through the countryside. Some of these are good lane roads. Others are uneven roads curving through the country. These secondary routes may go up steep slopes, along hilly cliffs or down frightening hillsides to towns lying in deep valleys. Though these are less direct routes, longer and slower, they generally go to places where the air is clean and the scenery is beautiful, and the driver may have a chance to get a fresh, clean view of the world.67. The passage is mainly about _A. the scenic of countryB. the traffic in the cityC. the network of major highways in the USD. the difference between the highways and country routes68.
