On British Newspapers
Besides the daily newspapers, there are anumber of Sunday newspapers in Britain.Many of them are connected with the “dailies”, though not run by the sameeditor and his members.

They also provide adviceto those in love, and adventures with handsome heroes. Some women's magazinesalso include serious articles of more general interest.
The visitor who looks at the magazinesdisplayed in a large bookstall (书摊) which may be foundin an important railway station will notice that there is a wide variety oftechnical or semitech-nical(半专业的) books and magazines.There are magazines for the motorist, the farmer, the gardener, the nurse, andmany others.

第一篇
Urban Rainforest
On the west side of the island of Manhattan inNew York City, tree by tree, leaf by leaf, a 2,500 square foot sector of the CentralAfrican Republic's Dzanga Ndoki Rainforest has been transported to, orrecreated at, the American Museum of Natural History's new half of biodiversity.When the hall opens this May, visitors will visit one of the world's biggestand most accurate reproduction of one of nature's most threatened creations.
To bring the rainforest to New York, a team ofnearly two dozen scientists--the largest collecting expedition the museum hasever organised for an exhibit--spent five weeks in the African rainforestcollecting soil, plants, and leaves; recording and documenting species; studyingtrees; shooting videotape and still photos; and interviewing local people. “Thisarea has been explored very little,” says Hoel Cracraft who estimates that the museum willeventually collect 150 to 180 mammals, more than 300 species of birds, hundredsof butterflies, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of organisms. Theexhibition may even have produced a special prize--scientists suspect they haveuncovered several new species.
To give the forest a sense of realness, theback wall of the exhibit is an enormous video-screen, sounds will come out fromhidden speakers, and plans even call or forest smells. Computer controls willvary the effects so that no two walkthroughs will ever be exactly the same.
After the team returned to New York, the forest was reproduced with thehelp of the computer. Computer modelling programmes plotted distances andspecial relationships. Artists studied photos and brought what they saw to life.Plaster trees were made. Recreated animals began to stand in the rainforest ofthe hall. Flying creatures will hang from the ceiling. The light in the forest-one of the exhibit's cleverest re-creations--will seem real. Longtube lights will have the correct colour and temperature to produce a naturaleffect. The plants and animals exhibited throughout the hall exist naturally ina perfect balance-remove one, and the whole is imperfect if not endangered. Theexhibit is proof to the hope that the world's rain-forests will never existsolely as a carefully preserved artifact.
