Before the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper"-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper " caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
4.Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?
A. Academic. B. Inexpensive.
C. Unattractive. D. Confidential.
5.What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A. They could have more readers.
B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They would be priced higher.
D. They could regain public trust.
6.What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?
A. It was a disaster for printers.
B. It was a temporary success.
C. It was a robbery of the poor.
D. It was a difficult process.
C
Growing up in Arizona's rodeo （竞技）country, I was familiar with the events that come with traveling rodeos: bull riding, dressing and mutton busting. Mutton busting is like bull riding, but instead of bulls, they use sheep. And in place of the men, it's children between six and ten years old who try to hang on for eight seconds.
It took me all of five minutes to say yes to the idea of riding a sheep. Being seven years old, my decision-making ability was pretty limited. I figured I could ride a sheep as well as the next kid. Little did I know that I was in for a world of pain and embarrassment.
My nerves were shaking the day of the rodeo. I hated being in front of crowds. I didn't like getting dirty; I didn't even like sheep, which I thought of as just dirty and smelly. Yet there I was, getting ready to ride one for eight seconds in front of hundreds of people. I wanted to run out of the field and hide in the hot car until it was over. But by the time this idea occurred to me, it was too late. I was lifted away from my mother by a rodeo trainer and placed onto a platform.
My feet went into the narrow pen （羊圈） first. I felt my shoes touch the dirty floor of the pen. Once I was balanced on the lop of the sheep, the trainer let go and told me to lean forward・ I did as he said. I could feel the animal's heart beating faster than mine. I realized that the poor sheep was even more frightened than I was.
Then the gate opened, and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak. Within three seconds I had fallen off the sheep, and found myself face-down on the sun-baked earth. The sheep thought this was its time to take revenge （复仇）,and attacked me from behind. There I lay, hat down, covered in dirt, with tears streaming down my face. I looked behind me to see my mother running to comfort me. “Stand up and show them you're okay,” she told me as she wiped the dirty tears from my face. I stood up, dirty and upset, waved my little hand, and walked out with my mother.
Sadly, I didn't win anything, not even the respect of these rodeo animals. I did find a new admiration for those little balls of wool, though.
7. Which of the following is TRUE about "mutton busting”？
A. It's a game for 6-to-10-year-old children.
B. It is a dirty and terrible game.
C. Only strong adults can ride a sheep.
D. It is intended to pick the fastest sheep.
8． The author decided to take part in the competition because
A. he thought he could do well
B. it was part of growing up
C. mother made him do so
D. he found it very interesting
9. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Why the author lost the competition.
B. How the author failed in the sheep riding.
C. Why a mother should comfort her child.
D. How the sheep hurt the author when it attacked.
10. We learn from the article that ________________ .
A. sheep riding is as difficult as bull riding
B. the author wanted to give up before the competition
C. sheep riding is not popular because the pen is very dirty
D. the author kept trying until he succeeded in riding a sheep

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” — Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life — you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 1
Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. 2 Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
Have fewer meetings.
3 And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
4
When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?
Practice mindfulness.
Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. 5
A. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.
B. The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.
C. Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.
D. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.
E. Pick 2-3 important things — or even just one important thing — and work on those first.
F. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
G. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.
