阅读短文及文后A~E选项,选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。

    Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep.

    Paper was first created about 2, 000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.

    When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply.

    Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.

    Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. No, I don't think the poster about Yao Ming on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!

A. People learned to write words on paper to make a book.

B. So will books be replaced by computers one day?

C. Can we imagine life without paper or print?

D. Then printing was invented in China.

E. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.

 D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) 

Eric was standing in front of a large grey house in the countryside. He had just been dropped off by his mum, who left after telling him that he was going to spend the next twelve days there with no TV, no mobile phone and — worse of all — no computer.

Suddenly, a man appeared at the entrance of the house. When he saw Eric, he went up to him immediately. 'You must be Eric. Welcome to the camp,' said the man confidently. 'I'm Tony, the camp leader, but you will call me "Sir". Now tell me why you're here.'

Eric quickly replied, 'My mum made me come!' When Tony looked at him angrily and did not say anything, Eric realized his mistake and added, 'Sir!'

'And do you know why your mother sent you here?' asked Tony.

'She thinks I spend too much time online. Sir,' answered Eric. 'It's not just her opinion — it's the truth! Look at you — pale, unfit, and definitely not getting enough sleep. You're here because you think the virtual world is much better than the real world. But you're wrong! The real world has much more to offer. At the camp, you're going to go hiking, rowing, rock-climbing and stay outdoors most of the time,' promised Tony.

Eric'heart sank.

'But it's not going to be all fun and games,' Tony continued. 'We have rules here. If you break them, you'll get punished. But you won't simply get detention (课后留校), and you can forget about suspension (停学) — you'll never be sent home early! Instead, you'll clean the toilets, wash the dishes or do an extra hour of exercise!'

'Oh Mum,' sighed Eric. 'What have you got me into?'

Cathy Krause is an emergency dispatcher (紧急调度员) at Rockwood Police Department. She is tired of getting calls from children, most of which are usually jokes. However, a phone call from 5- year- old Jackson McManus who said his father was in trouble was the real deal. 

"I've not had the call like this before, " Krause said as she spoke about the 911 call. Krause was able to calm the boy down, and asked him questions to help police find his location and also gather information about the situation. "I asked him plenty of questions and he was so good, " she said. "He was a little nervous in the beginning, but he did everything I asked him to do. " Krause asked Jackson if his father was awake. Jackson went to check on his father who couldn't give any replies when he called out his name. This led Krause to believe that the man was unconscious (无意识) . 

Jackson told his father's name but she was still unable to locate the address. She then asked the boy where he went to school and told him to look at the garage and see if there were any numbers. "I already had a car look for you, " Krause said as she continued to talk to the child. 

The boy mentioned a street called Groat Street which is between Huron River Drive and Woodruff Road. With these details, she realized that the boy lived at the southern end of the Brownstown Township. She told Jackson to stand outside his house and wave so that police officers would be able to see him. 

Even though Jackson got some of the numbers of his address wrong, police saw him outside his home and the father was quickly taken to a local hospital. He is now in good condition. 

The father had been suffering from low sodium because of the medicine he was taking. He told 7 Action News he had taught Jackson and his daughter Mary how to call 911 when something terrible happened to him.
