So says an advertising executive in New York, and he has proved his point by selling boxes of rubbish for the price of an expensive bottle of wine.
Justin Gignac, 26, has sold almost 900 21 presented plastic boxes of rubbish from the street of the Big Apple at between ＄50 and ＄100 each. Buyers from 19 countries have paid for the souvenirs(纪念品). The idea has been so successful that he is thinking of promoting it around the world.
It all began when Mr. Gignac was at a summer workshop. "We had a discussion about his importance of 22," he recalls. "Someone said packaging was unimportant. I disagreed. The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want."
He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical 23 include broken glass, subway tickets, Starbucks cups and used 24 forks. "Special editions" are offered at a high price. He charged ＄100 for rubbish from the opening day of the New York Yankees? stadium.
Mr. Gignac denies 25 his customers for fools: "They know what they’re getting. They appreciate the fact that they’re taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it."
Some 26 customers include people who used to live in the city and want a down?to?earth souvenir. He claims he has even sold to art collectors.
Realizing that the concept appears to be a real moneymaker, Mr. Gignac has 27 a company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president. He 28 to discuss his profit margins: "It’s actually quite a lot of effort putting them together-but yet, garbage is free."
Mr. Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. He maintains that he has signed 29 with people interested in 30 projects from as far as Berlin and London.

In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada′s Manitoba province, will begin testlaunching (试验性发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik′s cube.
The one kilogram Win?Cube satellite, named for its 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.
There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.
The Win?Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is the real world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high school participation will bring this world?class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space.
"These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery," said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. "We want to make science more relevant (相关的), interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space," Bjomson added.
The Win?Cube program is mainly named at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce-all important drivers of knowledge?based economic growth.

Welcome to my Message Board!Subject: Slimming down classics?Mr. Handsome
2007?5?12
6∶34 AMOrion 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 30 to 40 pages percent 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 house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions. Mr.Edwards
2007?5?12
9∶40 AMWell, I’m the 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 embarrassing 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 were going to read these ones.
As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.Ms.Weir
2007?5?12
11∶35 AM I’m the director of the online book club http://www.lovereading.co.uk/
Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened editions is a breath of fresh air. I’m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it’s just so long. I’d 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 PMI?m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.
In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don’t read a shortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing. 54. According to the message board, Orion Books .
A. opposes the reading of original classics
B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics
C. thinks cut down classics have a bright future
D. is cautions in its decision to cut down classics
55. In Mr. Edwards opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to .
A. make them easier to read
B. meet a large demand in the market
C. increase the sales of literary books
D. compete with their original versions
56. By describing the shortened classics as "a breath of fresh air", Ms. Weir .
A. speaks highly of the cut?down classics
B. shows her love for original classics
C. feels guilty of not reading the classics
D. disapproves of shortening the classics
57. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that .
A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt
B. shortening the classics does harm to the original
C. publishing the cut?down classics is a difficult job
D. editing the classic works satisfies children?s needs

After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpudlian accent suddenly become too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid-hours becomes minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Week ends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.
For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit(提交) articles and edit them by E-mails and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer?mediated. If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mails and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.
But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged(融合) with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node(波节) on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms(症状). We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half?sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents? worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has becomes avoidance(逃避), a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I?d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I?m jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. "Dateline", "Frontline", "Nightline", CNN, New York 1, every possible angle of every story over and over, and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.
58. Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes______ .
A. unreal B. unbearable
C. misleading D. not understandable
59. What does the last paragraph mean?（ ）
A. Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange.
B. She is so interested in TV programs that she often forgets her work.
C. She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.
D. She turns on TV now and then in order to get some comfort from TV programs.
60. What is the author′s attitude to the computer?（ ）
A. At first she likes it but later becomes tired of it.
B. She likes it because it is very convenient.
C. She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.
D. She dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world.
61. The underlined phrase "coming back out of the cave" probably means .
A. going back to the dreaming world
B. coming back home from the outside world
C. bringing back direct human
D. getting away from living a strange life
E
Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they′ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well?known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It′s a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters-sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn′t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I′ve really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don′t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they′ve known you half their life.
62. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way______ .
A. for you to make more and more new friends
B. to begin your business talks
C. to get the conversation going smoothly
D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
63. After having asked somebody a question, it′ll be polite of you to .
A. make clear what kind of person he is
B. listen to his reply attentively
C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer
D. go on asking him more questions
64. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who______ .
A. are good at making any topic interesting
B. never talk too much or too little
C. always speak in a gentle way
D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk
65. If you really take delight in meeting someone again, .
A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend
B. it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C. it′s proper for you to give him a second handshake
D. it′ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him
Ⅴ.阅读填空/Read this article and fill in the blanks（10分）
Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes. Many people feel that the United States has the worst taxes in the world.
Taxes are the money that people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal, states, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.
Salaried people who earn more than four thousand dollars per year must pay a certain part of their salaries to the federal government, and the money is used to fund state workforce agencies. The percentage varies for different people. It depends on their salaries. The federal government has two level income tax: that is, 15 or 28 percent.＄17,850 is the cut off. The tax rate is 15 percent below＄17,850 and 28 percent above.
The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, or any of the other forty?eight states, including income tax and sales tax. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower, varying from 6% to 12%. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charge to any item which people buy in the state. Some states use income tax and sales tax to raise their revenues.
The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: One is property tax (residents who own a house have to pay taxes on it). The other is excise tax, which is collected on vehicles in a city. The cities use this money for education, police, public works, etc.
Since Americans pay such high taxes, they often feel that they are working one day each.
