London has a new magazine. But it is not printed(印刷) on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.
In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder (解碼器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There are all kinds of information ---everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.
If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the back page, which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on page 101 to 109, so you put in the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible, so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week’s best bargains. But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and the whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.
London already has three services. One, sent out by TV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized(宣傳). BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that is a breakthrough(突破) as great as the invention of printing, which could not just change our reading habits but our whole way of life.

IQ(intelligence quotient智商)is a score that shows a person’s level of intelligence.
People used to believe that some people are born with a high IQ and some aren’t.
  32 , a study by scientist at University College London has challenged(挑戰(zhàn))this idea. According to an article last October on the Journal Nature, scientists are beginning to think that our IQ is not a constant(不變的)score.
The scientists tested 33 healthy young people in 2004 between the ages of 12 and 16. Then they did tests again four years later, when the same people were between 16 and 20.
Scientists found big changes in the IQ scores between 2008 and 2004. Some  33 and some fell  34 as many as 21 points.
To test whether these scores were meaningful, the scientists compared them with results from brain scans(掃描). They found that the IQ changes matched changes in the structure(結(jié)構(gòu))of the subjects’ brains. “A change in 20 points is a huge  35 ,” said Professor Cathy Price, who led the research. He said it could mean the difference between an average and a  36 person. The team has not found a clear cause for these changes. However, they say it is  37 that education plays a role in changing IQ.
“Here we have shown that children’s  38 is likely to be still developing, ” says Price. “We have to be careful not to write off  39 performers at an early stage. In fact, their IQ may improve in a few more years. ”
