Dear Mr． Hu，
I' m glad to hear that the English newspaper is to be starting in our school． Now I'd like to give you some tip． Personally， I hold the view that the newspaper should colorful， including materials connected to our lessons． For example， the newspaper can regular provide different articles on western culture and customs， as will help us know more about the outside world． In addition， it would be better to set a special column（专栏） which we can express your feelings． We really need such a place to release our pressure and practice express ourselves in English． I truly hope that you can follow in my advice．
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

Kentucky Fried Chicken has filed a lawsuit（提起诉讼） against three companies in China， because their social media accounts spread false information about its food， including that its chickens have eight legs． The case comes as the Beijing government holds an activity to clean up rumours （谣言）on social media（媒体）． Internet marketers have been accused （指控） of trying to control online opinions of their customers by posting false information about their competitors．
In an announcement posted on its Chinese website， KFC said one of the best-known false rumours was that chickens used by the company have six wings and eight legs． It is requesting 1.5 million yuan and an official apology from each of three companies． It is also asking for an immediate stop to their activities to hurt it by spreading rumours．
The fried chicken chain is China's biggest restaurant operator and is a kind of fast food for young people in China． It has more than 4， 600 restaurants in the country， and on average， opens a new branch every day． KFC'S China chief executive officer（行政长官）， Qu Cuirong， said that it is difficult for companies to protect their brands（品牌） against rumours because it is hard for them to collect evidence． She added， "The efforts by the government in recent years to purify（净化） the online environment have offered us much more confidence．"
The companies are Shanxi Weilukuang Technology Company， Taiyuan Zero Point Technology Company and Yingchenanzhi Success and Culture Communication in Shenzhen， south-east China． Calls to numbers listed for the companies either rang unanswered or were not available． In fact， authorities（官方） began an activity two years ago to clean up what they called online rumours． Comments in state media have argued that a clean-up is needed．
1.The reason why KFC filed a lawsuit against three Chinese companies is that ______ ．
A. they started an activity to control KFC
B. they spread untrue information about KFC
C. they have been acting against the law

4.Where can we most probably find this text？ ______ ．

In the near future， daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear． Electronic media（媒体） can provide the same information faster and cheaper． The Internet， together with laptops and mobile phones， makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees．
You'll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like turning on TV． An electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events． You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear． Want more information on the brief story？ A simple touch makes the whole text appear．
There are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future． Imagined as part of home media and entertainment systems， computer newspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news， offering information and analyzing video images of news events．
The continuing loss of readers will lead to a small number of advertisements in newspapers． It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads．
With the development of technology， more and more electronic media have been created until now， but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go， because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism（新闻业） may be much stronger． Since it is such a cultural change， it may be not until the present journalists（新闻工作者）， who aren't used to it， die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer． Anyway， technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually．
