Sometime in the future, the familiar early-morning newspaper on the front porch（门廊） will disappear. And instead of __1__ your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic __2__ will distribute（发送） stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of __3__ you want. You will even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want __4__ information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal __5__ if you like. These are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer __6__ would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.
Most of the __7__ is available now, but convincing more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance（反对）to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural __8__ , it may be that present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is __9__ a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.
Despite technology advances, it could take decades to __10__ newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.

Instant Food
Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans nowadays buy many more
convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely
prepared. Many of them are frozen, such as frozen dinner, heat-and-serve French
fries, and frozen pizzas. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as
ready-made spaghetti, soups, stews(炖熟的菜 )and vegetables.
Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with
people who are busy or who don’t like to cook or wash dishes. But they often
cost more than fresh, unprepared foods and many contain man-made additives.
Also, many people feel they don’t taste as good as home-cooked foods.
Health Food and Co-ops
In the 1960s, a “back-to-the-earth” movement was started by young
people in the United States.
The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. From the
movement came a new understanding of food and health. Many people now prefer
natural and organic(有机的) foods to the prepared foods sold in health foods stores and in
food co-ops, which are small stores where customers help manage the store. In
co-ops, food is usually not packaged. Customers bring their own bags and jars
and scoop(汲取) their food out of boxes or baskets.
The Diet Craze(节食热)
These days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight.
Perhaps as many as 70 million Americans are on weight-dollar business.
American supermarkets sell a variety of diet food such as soft
drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings. Dieters also spend money on diet
pills, exercise machines, and jogging suits(健美服). Each year
dozens of new diets are popularized. They have such names as the Miracle(奇效的) Diet,
the Nine-day Wonder Diet, and the East 24-hour Diet. There is even one called
the Ice Cream Diet, which advises the dieters to eat only ice cream for lunch
and dinner! For dieters who cannot lose weight on their own, there are many
well-organized diet groups, which offer help and encouragement.

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so？”
“No, I don’t” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked. “Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, “It’s for you …”
