   Welcome to my Message Board!
Subject: Slimming down classics?
 
Mr.Handsome
2007-5-12
6: 34 AM
Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (經(jīng)典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at ￡6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.  
 
Mr.Edwards
2007-5-12
9: 40 AM
Well, I’m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome.
I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承認) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳讀) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.
As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.
Ms. Weir
2007-5-12
11:35 AM
I’m director of the online book club www.lovereading.co.uk
Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. I’m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it’s just so long. I’d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics!    
Mr.Crockatt
2007-5-12
4:38 PM
I’m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.
In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don’t read a shortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing.
11. According to the message board, Orion Books        .
A. opposes the reading of original classics          
B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics
C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future      
D. is cautions in its decision to cut down classics
12. In Mr. Edwards’ opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to        .
A. make them easier to read            B. meet a large demand in the market
C. increase the sales of literary books   D. compete with their original versions
13. By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”, Ms. Weir        .
A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics     
B. shows her love for original classics
C. feels guilty of not reading the classics     
D. disapprove of shortening the classics
14. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that        .
A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt
B. shortening the classics does harm to the original
C. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult job
D. editing the classic works satisfies children’s needs
15. How many classics are involved in the massage board?
A. Two.          B. Three.               C. Four.         D. Five.

Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23．It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month．
The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked．The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months．
"The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing （扭動） about in the water," police said．"Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father．
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water．" He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore．"There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine"．The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries．
Police said the bites" cut through to the bone" , but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures （骨折）．He was in a stable condition now．
Several beaches were closed after the attack．Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks．But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy．"I don't even know if he saw it," Miller said．
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare．However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach．
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise．There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks．Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish．Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eater made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters．
小題1:The report mainly tells us _______．
A．shark attacks on humans are on the rise
B．sharks attacked humans three times in one month
C．a(chǎn) boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
D．shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches

A team of British surgeons has carried out Gaza’s（加沙）first organ transplants for a long-term plan to train local medical staff to perform the operations.
Two patients underwent kidney（腎臟）transplants at the Shifa, Gaza’s biggest public hospital. The operations were conducted a fortnight ago by a volunteer medical team from the Royal Liverpool hospital.
Ziad Matouk, 42, was born with one kidney and was diagnosed with renal failure（腎衰竭）several years ago. Matouk, whose wife donated one of her kidneys, hopes to return to his job within six months. The couple had sought a transplant in Cairo, but were rejected as unsuitable at a state hospital and could not afford the fee at a private hospital. “We were desperate,” said Matouk.
The UK-Gaza link-up began about a year ago after Abdelkader Hammad, a doctor at the Royal Liverpool hospital, was contacted by an anaesthetist（麻醉師）at the Shifa, who outlined the difficulties the Gaza hospital was facing with dialysis（透析）. The Shifa is forced to rely on generators because of power cuts; spare parts for its ageing dialysis machines have been difficult to import; and supplies of consumables are often scarce. After an exploratory trip last April, Hammad---whose family is Palestinian---and three colleagues from Liverpool arrived in Gaza via Egypt last month, bringing specialist equipment. Two patients were selected for surgery. The first, Mohammed Duhair, 42, received a kidney donated by his younger brother in a six-hour operation. Two days later, Matouk received a transplant after his wife, Nadia, 36, was found to be a good match. The surgeon was carried out by the British team, assisted by doctors and nurses from the Shifa. “We are very satisfied with the results,” said Sobbi Skaik, head of surgery at the Gaza hospital.
Skaik hopes that Gaza medical teams will eventually carry out kidney transplants independently, and that other organ transplants may follow. The Shifa is working with the Gaza ministry of health on a plan to train its doctors, surgeons, nursing staff and laboratory technicians in transplant surgery at the Royal Liverpool. “Funding is a problem,” said Hammad. “In the meantime we’ll go back as volunteers to Gaza for the next couple of years to do more transplants.” The Liverpool team’s next visit is scheduled for May.
小題1:What effect does Gaza’s first organ transplants hopes to get?
A．Helping poor Gaza people to regain health to make more money.
B．Releasing Gaza hospitals’ pressure of lack of professional doctors.
C．Assisting the Royal Liverpool hospital in perfecting their operations.
D．Calling for international attention at Gaza’s poor medical service.
小題2:Why did the state hospital refuse to practice surgeon for Ziad Matouk?
A．Because he couldn’t afford the fee at a public hospital.
B．Because the hospital didn’t accept dangerous patients.
C．Because they couldn’t find a matched organ.
D．Because his condition was untreatable.
小題3:What is the beginning of the cooperation between the Royal Liverpool hospital and Gaza?
A．A UK doctor contacted Gaza hospital.
B．The Shifa imported medical machines from UK.
C．Ziad Matouk’s condition seemed to get worse.
D．A Shifa doctor turned to Royal Liverpool hospital for help.
小題4:What did Dr. Hammad and his team do recently?
A．They had an exploratory trip in Egypt last April.
B．They carried out surgeries to test Gaza’s medical equipment.
C．They carried out two transplant surgeries in Gaza.
D．They sought assistance from the hospital of the Shifa.
