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 （经典著作），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 per cent 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 （承认） 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 （跳读） 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 editions 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 Crockatt & 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．

（1）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 cautious in its decision to cut down classics

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
（3）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
（4）Mr．Crockatt seems to imply that        ．

203266. （2016•西工大附中•六模） Mr William Shakespeare and the Internet
Explanation of Contents
This is the fourth edition of these pages．It is hard to believe，but once again they are new and improved．My motive in publishing these pages remains to help and stimulate others in Shakespeare studies，and especially those who might contribute their work to the Internet．The spirit of altruism （利他主义） that originally built the Internet is not quite gone，though，sadly，through the pressure of time and profit has lessened．
A major new addition to the pages is a Shakespeare Timeline，which is an online biography mounted at this site．The problems with searching for Shakespeare resources using the available Search Engines are：
----It is difficult to focus most searches so that you get a manageable number of relevant hits；
----It is impossible by simply reading an abstract（摘要） to make any distinction between the output of a Junior High School student and that of a professional researcher．
Another change in these pages over previous editions is the"What's News"page．If you come away from these pages with the feeling that they are very useful but slightly pedantic （学究的），I will have realized my goal．
An Apology
I am continually apologizing to the many who have written me requesting revisions of the pages．We are all too busy．I simply have not had the time to dedicate to these pages that I wish．But I love the material and so have，at long last，made some time to update them．
A Reminder to Young Students
These pages contain the best links I can find to Shakespeare on the Internet．As a reminder，I would say I very much enjoy hearing from people who view and use these pages．If you want to do Shakespeare research using the web，this page is a great starting point，and I keep it as current as I can．The web is in its infancy（初期in bringing good，scholarly content to students．Don't forget the best，if not quickest，resources are still in your library．
（1）The passage is written to       ．
A．introduce the fourth edition of these pages
B．make an apology to readers
C．show off these pages to readers
D．let Shakespeare researchers buy these pages
（2）When searching for Shakespeare resources using Search Engines，you       ．
A．can easily recognize what the abstract means
B．will waste some time in finding what you want
C．will often come into the"What's News"pages
D．will find something special on your computers
（3）Which of the following can best conclude the last paragraph？
A．The writer will often read letters from those who use these pages．
B．The writer of the passage is very selfish．
C．The web was just created four years ago．
D．Shakespeare researcherould first of all refer to these pages．
