British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry, so newspapermen write as few words as possible.

Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident. So a newspaperman always likes to get some information from someone who was there, which can be given in the person's own words. Because he can use only a few words ,the newspaperman. Must choose those words carefully ,every one must be effective(有效). Instead of \voice\the side of the mountain\Because many of the readers aren't very clever, and most of them are in a hurry. . 36. The underlined word \ A. word

Iceland lies in the North Atlantic Ocean and is the second largest island in Europe. From 1262 to 1944 Iceland was ruled first by Norway and then by Denmark. Centuries of foreign rule, and such things as volcanoes and the weather, made life very difficult at times for the Icelanders: there was lots of hard work and little change. The situation began to improve during the nineteenth century. Then in 1944
Iceland became an independent republic (共和国); since that time it has become a quite rich country where the people enjoy having cars, modem houses and lots of electrical equipment（设备）． If you look at the kind of products that Iceland exports（出口商品）today----fish, meat and wool for example---it's easy to see that both the sea and the land are important to Icelanders. This has been true in fact since the time of the first Icelanders--Vikings(维京人,北欧海盗) from Norway who arrived in AD874(公元874年)
Some things in the lives of the Icelanders have changed very little---the Icelandic language, for example, 700 years ago the stories called Sagas (冒险故事) were first written down, these can still be read in the old language without much difficulty by Icelandic speakers today.
39.How many years did Norway and Denmark rule the Iceland? A. 700
B. 682
C. 388 .
D. 1070
40. What has hardly changed in Iceland? A. Exporting products, C. House equipment.
B. The Icelandic language. D. The lives of the Icelanders.
41. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
A. Iceland has been an independent republic since Vikings began to live there. B. Iceland is a country of many small islands. C. Iceland is not the largest island in the world. D. Iceland is quite a modern country now.

Unfortunately I do not have a lot of free time I can spend in reading. So I try to read whenever l can. Mostly in public transport. Therefore I use my eBook-Reader because it is easier to carry. By that I could easily fit more books in my purse as I am able to read in a week. These readers are very handy and they have the same resolution（分辨率） as books. So your eyes do not hurt even after hours of reading. I remember how I got my first reader at Christmas. It was white and purple----very girly. At first I did not want to use it because I missed the feeling of changing pages. But for spending my time well in the train and for vacations, they are perfect. Especially in bright sunlight the eBooks-Readers are superior（优越） to tablets. My favorite part about eBooks is their price. I am always disappointed when I buy a book I end up finding boring. Because of the missing production costs, eBooks are cheaper. Even when I do not like the book I did not waste too much money on it. So I can read more stories when I discover new authors. 42.
