              The planned “migration” of BBC3 from broadcast to the Internet in the autumn of 2015 means the “Youth” section of the BBC’s audience with the least political power and the fewest public voices will become an afterthought (事后想起的事) .

              I don't watch BBC3. Equally,I question its credentials(資格) as the home of yoythfiil innovation when I note a lot of Doctor Who md Top Gear reruns on an evening-only channel. But BBC3 isn’ t aimed at me. For me,and for the rest of the white,middle-aged licence-fee payers who have arguments over the company's output,there are plenty of alternatives(替代品) .

              Some would say the company's rapid expansion at the start of the century now looks like overconfidence. The attempt to provide an excellent service to all ages and all interests in a multi-channel world might have been considered as a modem version of the old BBC mission to educate,inform and entertain; but it appears to have been misjudged.

             You could ask how the hard financial choices are made and why. BBC3 has 13 million viewers a week. In August last year, Radio 4  hit a “record-breaking” weekly score of 10. 97 million.

Which group is better placed to influence those who run the BBC? To whom would politicians listen?

             The answer is obvious. If y_OU believe that the Today programme is a bit more important to society than Snog Marry Avoid?, you' 11 probably think the obvious answer is the right answer. But the BBC3 viewer base consists of about a million of the young unemployed — less likely to be white and middle class than the Radio 4 fan base; more likely to be excluded from the political process. They are no match for the grey power of pensioners.

             To my taste,most of the things on BBC3 are rubbish. But I'm delighted to see that the BBC will go on trying to cater to (迎合) my interests and tastes for a long time to come,just as it will go on serving up EastEnders and witless talent shows to those numerous enough not to be seen as a minority.

             For whom does the BBC exist? The minority — young Britain — just got pushed to the back of the queue.

6. Among whom is BBC3 popular?

   A. The old. B. The youth.

   C. The adults. D. The middle-aged.

7. The BBC's attempt to satisfy all audiences.

   A. attracted more viewers

   B. proved to be a big success

   C. suffered financial difficulties

   D. got support from the government

8. The underlined part “excluded from” in , Paragraph 5 can be replaced by .

   A. lost in   B. kept out of

   C. involved in   D. taken care of

9. What does the author think of BBC3?

   A. It is an awful channel.

   B. It will have a bright future.

   C. It should be aimed at all ages. 

   D. It cannot be replaced by other channels.

10. What does the text mainly discuss?

   A. Who should run the BBC?

   B. For whom does Radio 4 exist?

   C. What programmes should BBC3 run?

   D. Who decided BBC3's online migration?

             Founded nearly a century ago,the House of Prada is recognized around the world for its simple and eye-catching creations.

             Mario Prada started the Prada label in 1913. He designed and sold luggage,handbags,and shoes in two small stores in Milan,Italy,and had customers across Europe and the US. When the big-name Prada suitcase,made from heavy walrus (海象) skin,proved unsuitable for aif travel,Prada concentrated on designing excellent leather goods and waterproof handbags.

             In 1978,Mario's granddaughter,Miuccia Prada who was clearly fashion-conscious,took over the company. The label was well known as a leather goods manufacturer,but had been struggling financially for several years. It looked like it was going to continue to do so. There was competition from other fashion houses like Gucci,but Miuccia turned the business around and brought the House of Prada into the? world of haute couture (高級時裝) .

              Miuccia had been making jet-black waterproof backpacks since 1970,out of a nylon fabric called “Pocone”. She produced the classic Prada handbag which was simple,black nylon,and in 1985 it became a worldwide hit. The bag was functional,practical -and fashionable. The high price tag that accompanied the handbags was bound to encourage other companies to make similar cheaper bags in order to take advantage of the market. This only helped to make the genuine Prada articles more in demand.

              In 1989,Prada hit the fashion shows with its ready-to-wear collection of elegant,simple clothing. The fashion world took notice,and Prada's popularity soared(飛漲) .By the beginning of the 1990s,it was clear that Prada was going to be the leading force in fashion. Luxurious fabrics and simple styles,mostly in basic colours such as black,brown,grey and cream became the typical Prada look.

              In 1992,Miuccia created the more affordable Miu Miu line,aimed at younger buyers,followed by,the Prada Sport label,a line of men^，s wear and a lingerie(女士內(nèi)衣) collection.

              Although the Prada look has developed over the years,and Miuccia has introduced many innovations(創(chuàng)新) in fabric and design,the quality of the finished product has never changed.

              All around the world,people are working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestriand(行人) .Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets,made streets narrower,put in traffic lights and speed bumps(減速帶) and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school.

              Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia,named David Engwicht. His  book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple!message. 36  Kids played there,and neighbors stopped there to talk.

              But now,streets are just for cars and trucks,j People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic,and we lose contact with our neighbors. 37  People need to take back their streets. Engwicht travels around the world,helping people think differently about pedestrians,streets,and neighborhoods. 38 He has worked in neigh?borhoods from Honolulu to Scotland. 

              While Engwicht was writing his book,he learned how neighbors in the city of Delft,in the Netherlands,stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches,tables,and planters in the street. 39 When the police arrived,they saw how these illegal actions made the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down,and “calm” the traffic.

              Engwicht says we should think about streets as our “outdoor living room”. 40 In the future,streets will be safe places for children again,and our neighbors will become our friends.

   A. Cars and pedestrians crowded the street.

   B. Calming the traffic is just the beginning.

   C. Cars could still pass,but they had to drive slowly.

   D. He says that in the past,streets belonged to everybody.

   E. It's hard to take measures to solve the traffic problems.

   F. Besides his books and articles,he gives many speeches.

   G. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation.
