Newspapers are dying.Electronic devices like mobile phones,pads,TVs and car radios can all be the killers.Most people believe in the long run,there is no reason• no practical reason for newspapers to survive.No matter what we do may only buy time.
Can anything save newspapers?I decided to have a try.
Many years ago,Bonnier,a Swedish publisher,set a newspaper in the former Soviet countries .After a few years,they had more newspapers in central and eastern Europe.However,these newspapers were run by a group of inexperienced people,and they didn't have enough money.In many places there were not even art directors.
I got a position in Bonnier's newspaper as an art director.
It was very difficult at first.I was really disappointed,until one day,in Londonn,when I saw performance by Cirque du Soleil. "These guys took some run﹣down entertainment,and put it to the highest possible level of performance art.M Inspiration lighted me up, "Why can't we do the same with the newspapers.We started to redesign the newspapers,one by one.
We used our imagination.We treated the whole newspaper as one piece,one composition - like music.
Music has a rhythm,has ups and downs.Design is responsible for this experience.Flipping through pages was readers' experience and I was responsible for this experience.
The front page became my personal channel to talk to the readers.My approach was simple and direct.I wanted to show my understanding of art,and of reality.I wanted to make posters,not newspapers.Not even magazines:posters.
We had determination,and we kept on trying.We experimented with type,with illustration and with photos.We kept asking:Why do we do it?What's our goal?
Design was not only about the front page.It was a part of the process.To be good was not enough.The process we made was about improving the product completely.
We adjusted the content accordingly.We improved everything to what our readers thought it should be and how they liked reading it.We kept improving and we had fun.
Soon in Poland ,our pages were named "Covers of the Year" three times in a row.One year later this newspaper,in the same country,they named it the "World's Best﹣Designed Newspaper".Two years later,the same award came to Estonia.The circulation of the newspapers kept going up.They became more and more popular.
Someone may think we are buying time,but our newspapers are alive,and growing.
(1)According to the passage,most people think newspapers .
A. |
will be replaced |
B. |

need to be saved |

C. |
He hoped to get more working experience. |
D. |
It was a big publishing company in Europe. |
(3)Which of the following is probably the writer's opinion?
A. |
Newspapers can be alive if they are designed as posters. |

The other newspapers can develop as quickly as Bonnier. |

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However,some viruses,for example,the coronavirus,are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases,like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur,and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple,safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.
▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses,mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work,telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like,and send B cells(lymphocytes)or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile,B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.
Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different,but their aims are the same.
Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine,the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them,it will try to kill them.The question is:without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them?That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe,it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.
The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine,the viruses are weakened,but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them,so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective,but there is a worry:what might happen once these viruses wake up?
Therefore,although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19,it can be better.
(1)The coronavirus can .
A. |
not be killed |
B. |
not be found |
C. |
cause deaths |
D. |
stop pandemic |
(2)Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2?
A. |
Vaccination can provide us with B cells. |
B. |
Vaccines are made from different viruses. |
C. |
Vaccination can prepare us against viruses. |
D. |
Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do. |
(3)Compared to the inactivated vaccine,the live﹣attenuated vaccine .
A. |
needs taking more than once |
B. |
is equally safe |
C. |
contains viruses that are killed |
D. |
is more effective |
(4)What can we learn from the passage?
A. |
Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19. |
B. |
The immune system can be more effective with vaccines. |
C. |
The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses. |
D. |
180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases. |
