The one-kilogram Win-Cub satellite, named for its
26、home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes.

35、mming down classics? Mr. Handsome 2007-5-12 6: 34 AM Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作 ), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting
36、 30 to 40 pages per cent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at 6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing ho
37、use believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions. Mr. Edwards 2007-5-12 9: 40 AM Well, Im publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome. I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认 ) to the most emba
38、rrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读 ) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never we
39、re going to read these ones. As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but its not as if were withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them. Ms. Weir 2007-5-12 11:35 AM Im director of the online bookclub www.lovereading.co

Id much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics! Mr. Crockatt 2007-5-12 4:38 PM Im from th
41、e London independent bookshop Corckatt teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on. Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫 ) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his
42、 car to find under his wiper(雨刷 ) an angry note intended for some else: “Whys your car HERE at HER place?” The note became the starting point for Rothbards addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer. The whole found-photograph p
43、henomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? Its
44、 anyones guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理 ), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents,
45、our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after weve gone? 64. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _. A. remind readers of found photographs B. advise reader to start a new kind of business C. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa D. show readers the value of found
46、 photographs 65. According to the passage, Joachim Schmid _.
