　　NEWSPAPERS have certainly been around for a long time．Many New Zealand newspapers are now heading towards their 125th anniversary(周年紀念)of the first publication and some New Zealand papers are more than 140 years old．

　　However, some people think that newspapers are yesterday’s medium(傳媒)and that new media, like television and even the Internet, will in the very near future cause newspapers to die．What is clear is that the growth of new media, and in particular the Internet, will cause newspapers to change themselves and change their product to meet customers’ needs．

　　People read newspapers because of their unique(獨特的)strength．They have a large audience and yet a certain appeal(吸引力)．They reach the majority of the population each day through covering national and international news and yet they offer interest to gardeners, cooks and even slaves to fashion．

　　Newspapers also remain strong because of people’s continued love of reading．Reading is an active and involving(專注的)process, but people are able to read at their own speed and return to newspapers for reference purposes．

　　Newspapers will certainly not stop the Internet being a competitor(競爭者)．But no newly-introduced news medium has ever killed an old one, and if best guesses are to be made then it is likely that this will be the case with this new medium as well．

The temperature of the sun is over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center．The sun is so much hotter than die earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core．In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core．However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed．
Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones．Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core．The first three zones are regarded as the sun's atmosphere．
But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main
body of the sun begins．
The sun's outermost layer begins about 10000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for mllions of miles．This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse（日食） such as the one in February 1979．At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun's rays．
The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon．Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse．The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike（一束束穗狀） rays near the sun's north and south poles．The corona is thickest at the sun's equator．
The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds sad reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit．The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets．By the time the sun's corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible．
【小題1】Matter on the aim can exist only in fee form of gas because of the sun's ___．

A．sizeB．ageC．locationD．temperature
【小題2】All of the following are parts of the sun's atmosphere EXCEPT the ___．
A．coronaB．chromosphereC．photosphere D．core
【小題3】According to the passage, as the corona ra5,'s reach -die plaasts, they become ___．
A．hotterB．clearer C．thinnerD．stronger
【小題4】Which of 'die following do the paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss?
A．The remaining layers of the sun．
B．The evolution of the sun to its present form．
C．The eclipse of February 1979．
D．All the above．

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts hardly lose their pumping power with age.
“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20---25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. “Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.
“This gender (性別)difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink.
They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
【小題1】The underlined word “l(fā)ongevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to _________.

A．healthB．long lifeC．ageingD．effect
【小題2】The text mainly talks about ________.
A．men’s heart cellsB．women’s ageing process
C．the gender differenceD．hearts and long life
【小題3】According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _________.
A．women have more cells than men when they are born
B．women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
C．the female heart loses few of the cells with age
D．women never lose their pumping power with age
【小題4】We can know from the passage that _______.
A．the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out
B．scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells
C．the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss
D．women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20
