The appearance in Glasgow of the largest yearly exhibition of children's books in Britain will give a wonderful opportunity for Scottish people to see and buy the latest books for children as well as old favorites, both hardback and paperback. The age-range covered will stretch from wordless picture books for the youngest to almost-adult novels. In its early years, the Children's Book Show was intended for specialist visitors, mainly teachers and librarians. As it became more widely known and successful, however, family and school parties began to come in ever-increasing numbers, so that it grew into a real children's book show, and a show with a double purpose. For years it was held in various halls in London, outgrowing each of them in turn until, in answer to enthusiastic invitations to bring it to different parts of the country, the decision was taken to move outside the capital, despite the difficulties that would result. One year it was held in Leeds, then in Bristol as well as in London, and now it comes to Glasgow. The great success of this move to bring the show to cities many miles from London, where of course most book publishers are, has been largely due to the support given to the organizing committee by local booksellers, librarians, teachers, parents and others. This year's show will again interest both the general public and specialists. Admission will be free, but school parties must be booked for in advance. In a large room near the entrance there will be a self-service bookshop where every book on show will be for sale.【缺少答案，请补充】

The books at the exhibition are suitable for ______.

The visitors to the show now include ______.

Over the past years the floor space of the book show ______.

The great success of the move out of London is mainly due to ______.

Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theater and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.【缺少答案，请补充】

President Coolidge's statement, "The business of America is business," still points to an important truth today that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige? One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself; it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected. Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers' dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves. A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important as, or even more important than, democracy in preserving freedom. Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the idea of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic (贵族的) idea of inherited privilege.【缺少答案，请补充】

The statement "The business of America is business" probably means "______".

Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only ______.

Who can benefit from business competition?

Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by ______.

It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes ______.

The loudest outcry (呐喊) about poverty seemed to come in the wealthiest country—by far—in the world. According to most calculations, through most of the 1945-1970 period the United States had a standard of living well above Europe's and many times above the world average. Yet protests about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need proceeded more from the United States than from countries with one-fourth of their living standard. (An annual per capita income of eight dollars is typical of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America.) It would seem strange to these people (were they only aware of the fact) that American radicals demand a retreat from an American commitment to the far corners of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent raising the standard of living of underprivileged Americans. What this last point suggests is not so much that human wants are never to be satisfied though this is doubtless true, and the American living in suburb deprived of his second car and his color TV suffers just as acutely as an African farmer in need of a second cow and a screen door. Rather, it suggests the extent of contemporary breach (违反) of social norms (标准)—the emancipation (解放) of the individual self. People have learned that their wants are sacred and rights ought to be satisfied. They have learned to consider any obstacle to personal fulfillment and intolerable insult. They have greatly expanded the circle of self-awareness. They no longer accept sharp limitations on individual desires in the name of the group. The amount of potential human discontent has always been infinite—misery, failure, misfitting, bitterness, hatred, envy beyond telling. It has usually failed of utterance, and in the past it was accepted passively as being beyond help.【缺少答案，请补充】

According to the passage, most complaints over a poor living standard were made by those who came from ______.
