Five people are at our table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we’ve been at sea, although we rarely meet except at mealtimes.
First of all, there is Dr. Stone. He is a man of about sixty-five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quite country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many countries. He’s told us a great deal about the city to which they are going.
Then there is “Grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a grandmother, she looks remarkable young, no more than fifty. She is on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
Then there is a man I don’t care for very much, the engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children’s various illnesses. She is on her way to join her husband in India.
【小題1】What can we know about Mr. Stone?

A． He knows a lot about the city the author is going to visit.
B．He is going to give up his work.
C．He has been retired for many years.
D．He is a doctor in the army now

A. She looks old.           B. he can’t think of her name
C. She has three daughters  D he respects her

Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value. The concept dates back to 1623, when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed. IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example, if somebody generated an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing, but today intellectual property rights are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature.
In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recoding of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store. In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.
【小題1】According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to _______.

A．those creating music, art and literature
B．novelists
C．those not receiving financial reward for their work
D．engineers and inventors
【小題2】What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?
A．It does not affect the way we understand IP rights.
B．It sells songs and films.
C．It makes IP rights harder to protect.
D．It prevents the production of artwork.
【小題3】According to paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?
A．Intellectual property rights.B．Free downloading.
C．The Internet.D．The large number of songs, films and books.
【小題4】A possible title for this passage could be _______.
A．IP Rights and Our Attitudes　B．Ways to Protect Your IP Rights
C．The Present and the Future of IP rightsD．A History of IP Rights

This radio is warranted for a one-year period that begins on the date of purchase. If it fails to work because of a problem of materials, please return it to the following address: So Fine Radio Corp, 1279 Delta Way, Monga.
