Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

       Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平裝本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

       Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全書), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems . Then from time to time you can take a book of poems  off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

Nine-year-old Barack Obama was looking through a magazine and he was shocked by a series of photos. The pictures were of a black man who destroyed his skin with chemicals that promised to make him white.

       For the first time, the African-American boy began to doubt who he was.

       However, now the boy who used to struggle with his identity doesn’t see it as a problem any more, but an advantage for his successful career. Last year Obama made history by being elected as the first black president of the United States. He defeated John McCain in a landslide victory.

Obama’s story starts in opposite corners of the world. His white mother was born in the heartland of the US. His black father grew up in a tiny village in Kenya. They met during college in Hawaii, but his father left the family when Obama was just two years old and his mother moved to Indonesia.

At 10, Obama moved back to live with his white grandparents in Hawaii. At his class, a white boy asked Obama if his father ate people. Out of embarrassment, Obama lied to his classmates that his father was a prince. “I kept asking who am I and I ended up trying drugs and drinking,” Obama recalled.

       Things came to change after the young men made friends with those with a similar background at college. Their experiences back in Africa helped Obama to finally face up to his African origin. He worked hard to become a star at Harvard Law School and the third black senator(參議員) in US history.

       At the beginning of his campaign for the White House, few people viewed Obama favorably. Many doubted his unusual background, which left him neither “black” enough nor “white” enough. But Obama turned his pain of growing up into a tool to make Americans believe: “There’s not a black America and a white America, a Latino American, an Asian America. There’s the United States of America.”

       Barack Obama’s victory is “a historic victory that promised change and overcame centuries prejudice. His success accomplished Martin Luther King’s dream that a man be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character”, wrote ABC news.

1. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.

       A. who he was                           B. Obama’s successful career

       C. making him white                    D. defeating John McCain

2.According to the last paragraph of the passage, which of the following statements       is false?

A. There has been prejudice in United States of America for centuries.

B. Martin Luther King’s dream has already been realized.

C. All men are created equal, no matter he is white or he is black.

D. A man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his     skin. 

3. We can learn from the passage that ________.

       A. Obama’s parents come from the same country

       B. the black man who destroyed his skin was Obama himself

       C. Obama was once troubled by his identity

       D. Africa is where Obama was born

4. Which of the following is the correct order?

       a. being elected the first black president of the US

       b. returning to live with his grandparents

       c. becoming the third black senator in US history

       d. going to college

       e. joining in the campaign for the White House

       A. b--d-c-e-a      B. e-a-b--d-c    C. a-b--e-c-d       D. c-e-d-b--a

5. The best title of the passage would be _____.
