Today's astronomy students not only seek an up-to-date summary of astronomical facts: they ask, as people have asked for ages, about our basic relations to the rest of the universe. They may study astronomy partly to seek points of contact between science and other human endeavors: philosophy, history, politics, environmental action, even the arts and religion.
Science fiction writers and special effect artists on recent films help today's students realize that unseen worlds of space are real places—not abstract concepts. Today's students are citizens of a more real, more vast cosmos than conceptualized by students of a decade ago.
In designing this edition, the Wadsworh editors and I have tried to respond to these developments. Rather than jumping at the start into murky waters of cosmology, I have begun with the viewpoint of ancient people on Earth and worked outward across the universe. This method of organization automatically (if loosely) reflects the order of humanity's discoveries about astronomy and provides a unifying theme of increasing distance and scale.
This passage is most probably taken from
A．an article of popular science.
B．the introduction of a book of astronomy.
C．a lecture given by the author to astronomy students.
D．the preface of a piece of science fiction.

While searching for the origin of personal computer, Shapiro uncovered several computing claims. Stewart Brand, founder of Whole Earth Catalog, says on his Web site that he first referred to a “personal computer” in a 1976 book; and GUI pioneer Alan Kay is said to have used the term in a paper published in 1972.
But a search on JSTOR’s general science archive turned up what Shapiro says is the earliest recorded use of personal computer, in the October 4,1968, issue of Science. The issue contains a Hewlett-Packard advertisement for its new HP 9100A. “The new Hewlett-Packard 9100A personal computer,” the ad says, is “ready, willing and able …to relieve you of waiting to get on the big computer.” The $4900 device---a desktop scientific calculator equipped with magnetic cars---does not seem like much of a computer nowadays. And at 40 pounds, it was not very personal, either. But according to Shapiro, it was the first device to be called a personal computer.
1.The term “personal computer” first appeared().
A.in Byte magazine
B.in a Hewlett-Packard ad in Science
C.in a 1974 book
D.in a paper published by Alan Kay
2.What is JSTOR ？()
A.It is an online database
B.It is an academic journal
C.It is a kind of computer software
D.It is a research organization
3.Shapiro succeeded in his research for the origin of the term personal computer by().
A.looking into the Oxford Dictionary
B.digging into magazines that are more than 150 years old
C.scanning JSTOR’s general science archive on line
D.focusing on academic journal such as Science
4.With a HP9100A, according to the Hewlett-Packard ad, you().
A.can easily get on the big computer
B.do not have to get on the big computer
C.can save a lot of money
D.will be willing and ready to do scientific work
5.What do we learn from the passage about the first device that was called personal computer？()
A.It looked very different from the PC today.
B.It was small, light and easy to carry around.
C.It was as efficient as a big computer.

Print publications have lots of advantages. Paper is pleasant to handle, ready to read, and very portable: you can read it almost anywhere. On the other hand, print has its weaknesses. Paper is expensive, and articles are often cut to fit the space available. Printing and distributing paper is expensive and takes time. Printed materials are expensive to store and almost impossible to search. Electronic publishing offers solutions to all these problems.
Suppose a publisher makes the electronic copy of a newspaper or magazine available from the net, perhaps on the Internet's World Wide Web. No paper is used and disc space is cheap, so Internet publishing costs very little. Articles don' t have to be cut. Internet publishing is fast, and readers can access material as soon as it becomes available: within minutes, instead of the next day, next week or next month. Internet publishing goes beyond geographical boundaries: the humblest local paper can be read everywhere from New York to London to Delhi to Tokyo. Delivery costs are low because there are no newsagents to pay, and no postal charges: readers pick up the bills for their on-line sessions. Also, computer- based publications are simple to store and every word can be searched electronically.
At the moment, newspapers and magazines, TV and radio stations, news agencies and book publishers are making content freely available on the Web because they are competing for "mindshare". Perhaps they want to find out if they can attract and hold an audience on line, or perhaps they're afraid of missing out because "everyone else is doing it". But don't count on things staying that way. Publishers are not in business to lose money.
What does the author probably foresee？
A．Readers will have more accesses.
B．Books and newspapers will be kept as computer files.
C．It will not make any sense to keep the printed versions.
D．Electronic publications will replace printed ones.
