（A）　　
One day an ordinary dog appeared in the ticket office at Campiglia, a busy railroad station on Italy’s main line. A ticket agent named Elvio greeted the strange dog in a friendly way, so the dog decided to stay. From that day on, the dog became Elvio’s shadow and was named Lampo. 　　
Lampo kept Elvio company(陪伴) inside the ticket office. When the weather was warm, he would enjoy himself in the sun on the train platform. When it was time for Elvio to return home on the train at night, Lampo ran after the train for a long way and then sadly gave up and went back to the station. 　　
One night as Elvio was riding home on the train, he noticed that Lampo was lying at his feet. Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat. Luckily, the conductor did not notice the dog. Lampo came home with Elvio and met his family. then, after a short visit, Lampo boarded the last train and went back to the station. Lampo quickly learned all of the train schedules(时刻表).He would ride home from work with Elvio every night and then ride back to the station alone. Every morning, Lampo arrived at Elvio’s house in time to walk his young daughter, Mivna, to school. The faithful dog would then take another train to Campiglia to spend time with his master, then travel again to accompany Mivna home from school at 11∶30. 　　
Soon, Lampo began to take the trains all over Italy. Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog. Some of the railroad officials were against Lampo’s illegal travels. They were afraid he would bite a passenger or cause some other problems. Finally, the stationmaster threatened to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn’t get rid of the dog. 　　
Elvio decided to put Lampo on a train going as far away as possible. Months went by and Lampo did not come back. Mivna missed him very much and prayed for his return. Finally one day, a sad, very thin, tired Lampo returned to Elvio’s office. Everyone, even the stationmaster, was sorry about what had happened. From then on, Lampo was allowed to ride the trains whenever he wanted. After seven years, Lampo grew old, and he began to need Elvio’s help to board the train.

Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to B to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the scream.
The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of infringing (侵犯) copyright. This month lawsuits (诉讼) have been filed against four websites offering free downloads.
In September, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push for their losses. Baidu were also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.
“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official from the Guangdong Provincial Press and Publication Administration.
Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Povince, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little sorry about getting others’ work without paying.
But she said that the wish of file sharing is too convenient to pass up. “Buying CDs is too expensive for students,” she said. “I don’t know what I will do now. It’s really terrible if my only choices are radio and television.”
However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shangdong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CDs,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should do is improving their music, rather than fighting against filesharers.”

A. resist B. share C. upload D. download
46. What’s the main idea of this passages?
A. Baidu are accused of infringing copyright and was defeated.

47. According to the passage, people like to download music largely because _____.
A. it’s free of charge B. it’s convenient
C. CDs are too expensive D. it is a good way to promote pop singers
48. What can you infer from this passage?
A. People will probably have to pay to download music.
B. More and more websites will stop downloading music.
C. Recording companies’ music is not as good as that on the Internet.
D. Baidu didn’t pay Shanghai Push for their losses.

Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people d
