四．阅读理解（每题4分，共20分）
British newspapers are among the oldest and most famous in the world. But recently big changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world. After 221 years, The Times (《泰晤士报》) has changed its size to become much smaller. In fact, the paper has cut its size in half from a broadsheet to tabloid.
In Britain the newspaper market is divided between the larger broadsheets and the smaller tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers’ pages, but there is also a clear difference in content. Broadsheets such as the Times, the Guardian (《卫报》) and Daily Telegraph (《每日电讯报》) are serious papers. They cover a broad range of political, economic and international issues. Their stories are also reasonably long and use quite formal language.
Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities’（名人） love lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have bigger pictures. Britain’s best-selling newspaper, the Sun, is a tabloid and has a naked (裸体的) girl on page three every day.
By changing to the size of a tabloid, the Times is following in the footsteps of a less famous broadsheet paper the Independent (《独立报》). It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales increase greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size, the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers.
The two papers claim that people find the smaller size easier to handle when they travel to work on the bus or the train in the morning. Instead of calling the new style of their paper tabloid, the paper says its new size is “compact” (紧凑型).

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
In modern society, more and more people have great pressure in their work. They have to work day and night. Some of them suffer from too much work. And some are even killed by overwork.
Which is more important, health or wealth? Some people think that wealth is more important than health. In their opinion, money is everything. “I would rather be the slave of money than the slave of people.” This is what they appreciate most. In order to earn more money, some of them spend most of the time working, running the rest of their life for wealth.
As a matter of fact, health is more important than wealth because health is the foundation of wealth. Without health, you can hardly imagine where the wealth comes from. Even if you are wealthy, how can you enjoy your wealth when you gave lost your health? In other words, wealth is based on health and wealth serves health. However, we cannot ignore wealth. Without money, we can do nothing.
