The pound new Library of Birmingham（LoB）will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization（數(shù)字化）of everyday life.
Set to open in 2013, the £188m LoB is already beginning to tale shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.[來源:Z。xx。k.Com]
As digital media（媒介）is important to its idea. the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.
Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning,“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital. Providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”
The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.
Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual（虛擬的）LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.
Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls “enlarge reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development is an online library of figures of the city being built by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.
Gambles says: “Technology will enable us to make the library’s content and services open to citizens as sever before.”

      A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket(彩票)at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the £25000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to “to help”, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
       Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: “I’m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him--- a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed.”
       Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized--- and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn’t you keep the money?” he asked. The professor replied: “I couldn’t because it’s not mine.” Then he walked off, spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.
      65.The sentence “ Then he began a battle with his conscience.” In paragraph 2 implies all of the following EXCEPT that_______.
      A. he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery results
      B. he hesitated about keeping the money for some time
      C. he thought for a moment of avenging himself on the robber
      D. he came to realize that honesty is more important than money
      66. Hundreds of people phoned professor Sabbatucci because they  ______.
      A. wanted to make fun of him  B. hoped to get the money
      C. knew who the robber was   D. lost the lottery ticket
      67. The word “spurning” in the last sentence can be replaced by  ______.
      A. accepting  B. claiming   C. rejecting   D. canceling
      68. If the story appears in a newspaper, the best title might be_____.
      A. A Thief’s Lucky Day   B. A Popular Maths Professor
      C. A Magic Lottery       D. A Reward of Honesty

      London congestion charging
      The charge was introduced on Monday 17 February 2003 to encourage people to leave their cars behind and use public transport when travelling in central London. It was introduced due to the high pollution levels and traffic congestion（擁擠）.
      The Inner Ring Road forms the congestion zone boundary and includes roads such as Marylebone Road, Euston Road, Park Lane and Edgware Road. Drivers can travel along these roads without paying the charge. Maps of this zone are published in the national press and are available from a range of outlets as well as online.
      People who travel regularly between work and home have to pay £5 for each day they wish to travel through or within the charge zone between the hours of 7.00 am and 6.30 pm, Monday to Friday. They have a choice about how they pay the £5. They can pay online, via the Internet, phoning, texting on their mobile phones and over the counter at petrol stations and convenience stores. They also have a choice about how often they pay. They can pay daily, weekly, monthly or annually.
      Not everyone has to pay the £5. Among these are residents, emergency services, registered-disabled drivers, taxis and those using alternative energy vehicles. These people/organizations have to apply for exemption (免交), which can be done online.
      The London Congestion Charge works by using around 900 cameras at the boundary and within the zone. The cameras read the registration plates and send the information to a computer, which checks whether the owner has paid the charge and, if not, whether the owner has claimed exemption. If drivers have not paid the charge by 10 pm that day (and are not exempt) a penalty notice is sent to his/her home address. The longer that the penalty is not paid, the larger the fine. Persistent offenders have their vehicles removed.
      For more information, call 0845 900 1234 or visit Transport for London’s congestion charge website at http://www.cclondon.com/.

      When I was a baby, I entertained you and made
you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How
could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I
believed that life could not be any more perfect.
      


      My housetraining was a long process, because you
were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks,
runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in
the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
      


      Gradually, you began spending more time at work
and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you
fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her
into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came
along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how
they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would
bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.
      


      Now, you have a new job in another city and you
and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made
the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only
family.
      


      I was excited about the car ride until we
arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of
hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a
good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were
in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three
words that swept over my mind.
      


      Is it better to live with hope or without hope?
At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (圍欄), I rushed to the
front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all
a bad dream.
      


      My beloved master, I will think of you and wait
for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you
showed to me.
      


      1.Who tells this story? 
      


               A.
A dog.          B. A
child.                            C.

His wife did not like the dog.
      


               C.

               A.
It hoped to be adopted by another family.           B.
It continued to love its former owner.
      


               C.
It did not trust humans any more.              D.
It was excited about the pound.

               A.
Be ready for
changes.             
               B.
Never expect too much.
      


               C.
Never complain about your life.
