Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA. The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over billion people, these are popular channels that offer goodquality news programmes. In both panies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or nonWestern view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic pany, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both panies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don39。t normally see. The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this pany are often local people who write the stories for free. This nonprofessional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices. This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter.（1）The first paragraph is meant to .

Competitors like CocaCola, PepsiCo and Nestle have also started selling water in aluminum cans.

Aluminum cans might result in less ocean waste, and the metal containers also are lighter than glass or plastic bottles, but they also e with their own cost to the environment. The production of an aluminum can is estimated to release two times as much carbon dioxide into the air as a plastic bottle. That39。s the dilemma you39。re going to have to choose between, said Ruben Griffioen, an official at beermaker Heineken. He said his pany was Lrying to reduce the use of plastic bottles. Bruce Karas of Coca Cola North America agreed. He said, There39。s a mix. There are some things that are not that desirable, but if you have five good things and one that isn39。t, we39。ll all have to make decisions. He added, It39。ll never be that clean.” Bottled water is a 19 billion industry. Although its use of cans is increasing, experts say cans are unlikely to pletely replace plastic bottles. Aluminum is costlier than plastic so canned drinks mean higher prices for buyers. Another major consideration is user conveniencecans stay open while bottles can be reclosed. More importantly, there is one barrier to ending the use of plastic water bottles: There may not be enough cans to go around. Beer and wine makers are now also increasingly using aluminum.（1）What39。s the advantage of aluminum cans? are pollutionfree. are lighter. are costeffective. are lowcarbon.（2）What is Karas39。s attitude to replacing plastic bottles with aluminum cans? ...（3）What is the main idea of the last paragraph? wide application of aluminum cans. promising future aluminum cans major advantages of aluminum cans. unavoidable limitations of aluminum cans.（4）What is the best title for the text?
