Everyone likes to get something for free.
That's why a lot of people u software like Napster, which allows them the exchange (交换) of free music across the Internet.
With all this free music, why buy expensive CDs?
Well, for one reason, the artists who write the songs need to make a living from their work.
Much of their income comes from fans who buy their CDs.
Artists get little, if nothing, from Napster.
But recently, US courts have ordered Napster to stop its urs for exchanging copyrighted material.
That could be the end of this free online rvice.
Now artists and record companies care about a new online threat (威胁) to their business: streaming.
Using streaming technology, thousands of radio stations around the world broadcast live on the web.
Usually a radio station pays royalties (版税) for the song it broadcasts.
But online, no one can tell who broadcast what.
Right now almost anyone with technical skill can stream music online. On a site like Shoutcast. com, for example, computer urs who download the software can broadcast their entire CD collection if they want to.
Streaming is a big business now and can't be stopped like Napster.
The recording industry needs to come up with a fair plan to let listeners have their music and artists their royalties.

A.songs are free online becau fans help collect income for artists

PHUKET, Thailand — Narkis Koral, 23, and Oren Mesika, 24, had no n of the terrible tsunami (海啸) that hit Southeast Asia.
They were having a good time on the island of Koh Chang in Thailand and only learned of their prent situation hours later, through friends who received phone calls from home.
Even though the pair, both from Arad, escaped the tsunami's anger, it did not change the fact that their parents were worried.
"Our mothers worried a lot," says Koral.
"They asked us to leave immediately and return to leave immediately and return to Israel.
They offered to arrange flights, anything we wanted, just return. "
Dana Kuchansky's father is also worried.
Kuchansky, 28, and her partner were in Kofun, a small island hit hard by the tsunami. After a night spent on the top of the mountain in the center of the island, the two were taken for free to Bangkok, where they were expected to fly to Israel.
请输入关键字On the telephone, the worried father made sure his daughter received the replacement tickets lost in the tsunami. 15 minutes later, he called her again, to remind her of the flight number.
Most of the Israelis visiting Thailand are young and on a limited budget (预算).
Their parents are ud to having insufficient contact (联系) with their children.
In most cas, this contact is when the phone call or the u of the Internet is cheap, even if the difference between "expensive" and "cheap" is less than 50 agorot, or cents.
In one ca this past week, a mother called the mobile telephone of each of the six embassy (大使馆) staff in Thailand, one after the other.
The same duty officer answered all six.
The common reaction of both parents and children, once telephone contact was made, was sobbing with relief (慰籍) that the ordeal (严峻考验) had left them unharmed.

Unless we spend money to recognize and prevent asteroids(小行星) now, one might fall into Earth and destroy life as we know, say some scientists.
Asteroids are bigger than the meteoroids(流星) that race across the night sky.
Most move round the sun far from Earth, without causing danger to us.
But there are also thousands of asteroids who orbits (轨道) put them on a collision cour (相撞路线) with Earth.
Buy $ 50 million worth of new telescopes right now.
Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to find out the right positions of most of the space rocks.
By the time we find a very dangerous one, scientists say, we'll have a way to change its cour.
Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off cour with nuclear weapons (核武器). But the cost wouldn't be cheap.
Is it worth it?
Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the result is if the event occurs.
Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500 000 years.
Sounds pretty impossible — but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world.
"If we don't take care of the big asteroids, they'll take care of us." says one scientist. "It's that simple. "
The cure, though, might be wor than the dia.
Do we really want a number of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth?
marktwain"The world has less to fear from dangerous rocks than from a great many nuclear weapons t against them. " said a New York Time article.
68. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?
A.It sounds unlikely, but the danger exists.
B.Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.
C.Collisions of smaller asteroids occur more often than expected.
D.It is still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.
69. What do people think of the suggestion to change the cour of asteroids?
A.It may not solve the problem, though it sounds practical.
B.It may create more problems than it might solve.
C.It is a waste of money becau the event is very unlikely.
D.Further rearch should be done before it is proved suitable.area是什么意思
70. We can conclude from the text that ______.
A.while pushing asteroids off cour, nuclear weapons would destroy the world
B.asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future
C.there is no need to worry since the event is unlikely to happen in our lifetime
D.workable ways remain to be found to prevent the event happening
