问题     Online newspapers are a look into the future and just pondering it raises the question of whether it isn’t nicer getting your daily news curled up in your favorite chair with your ballpoint pen handy to circle items of interest, or scissors ready to snip out articles you want to save. The Gazette Company is betting its subscribers want both electronic and paper options, and so far it seems to be right.
    The rest of the world is moving into cyberspace more slowly than the United States, and, in the developing world, the Internet has hardly penetrated at all. U. N. Secretary General Kofi Annan is determined to change this through the United Nations Information Technology Service, which will train large numbers of people to lap into the income-enhancing power of the Internet. Annan is also proposing an Internet health network that will provide state-of-the-art medical knowledge to 10,000 clinics and hospitals in poor countries.
    The onrushing Cyber Age has given newfound power to us all, as seen in Jody Williams’s one-woman organization using e-mail to promote a global ban on land mines. Yet, this is but a glimpse of what’s ahead in the minds of those immersed in this great and accelerating transformation.
    At Microsoft, Bill Gates predicts that by 2018 major newspapers will "publish their last paper editions and move solely to electronic distribution," and that by 2020 dictionaries will redefine books as "eBook titles read on screen" .
选项
答案     在线报纸是对未来的一种展望，只需沉思片刻你就能提出这样一个问题：每天蜷缩在最爱的椅子上，顺手用圆珠笔将关心的内容圈出来，或用剪刀把想保存的文章剪下来，这样不是更好?葛泽特公司打赌说，他们的订购者想要电子版和印刷版报纸，现在看来，公司是对的。
    世界其他地区进入电子空间的速度比美国慢，在发展中国家，因特网根本无法介入。联合国秘书长安南决定通过联合国信息技术服务机构来改变这种情况，而该机构将培训大量人员开发互联网的增收潜力。安南还提议建立一个因特网健康网络，为贫困国家的10 000家诊所和医院提供最先进的医学知识。
    势不可当的电子时代赋予我们全新的动力。正如一位名叫朱迪·威廉姆斯的女士所示，她独自创办的机构利用电子邮件倡导全球禁止使用地雷。不过，在那些投身于这场迅速发展的伟大变革的人的心目中，这只不过是未来前景的一瞥。
    微软公司比尔·盖茨预言，到2018年，主要报纸将“出版他们最后一份纸质版报纸，然后完全出版电子读物”，到2020年，词典将重新把书定义为“在屏幕上阅读的电子书”。
