correct answer to each of the questions from 11 to 15.
Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening
in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website
called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he
thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said about
HappyNews, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery,
and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.”
Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a
responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in
today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily
lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems.
HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60
percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any
of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites,
HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.
Question 11: What is the best title for the reading?
A. "Good News for a Change"
B. "Why Women Like HappyNews"
C. "Newspapers vs. Online News"
D. "Byron Reese Tells People How to be Happy"
Question 12: How is HappyNews different than other news sources?
A. The website only has stories about women.
B. All of the stories are written by Reese.
C. Its stories are not about bad things.
D. HappyNews does not exaggerate its stories.
Question 13: Why might some people NOT like HappyNews?
A. The stories are from around the world.
B. It doesn't tell them about important issues or problems.
C. Reese's stories are about misery and despair.
D. Some sources give a balanced view.

Do you know the indispensable part of your computer that is more than a century old? The modern
typewriter was born in the back of Kleinsteuber's Machine Shop in Milwaukee. That's where Christopher
Sholes took some piano wire and a telegraph key and built a crude typing device in 1868. It could type
only one letter, a rather fuzzy- looking w, but it was still pretty amazing for its time. Sholes and his partners
designed a more ambitious model with all the letters in the alphabet.
The typewriter had a problem, though. Try to type quickly on it, and the type bars banged into one
another and got stuck. The solution to that problem resulted in the keyboard we know today.
Sholes consulted with an educator who helped him analyze the most common pairings of letters in
the English language. He then split up those letters so that their type bars were farther apart and less likely
to jam. That in turn dictated the layout of the keyboard - known as QWERTY, for the first five letters in
the upper row. In a manner of speaking, he slowed down the typists to prevent jamming, and thus speed
the typing.
In 1873 the Sholes & Glidden Type Writer became the first to be mass-produced, and its keyboard
layout was soon standard on all typewriters. The original Sholes & Glidden typed only capitals and was
designed in an awkward fashion that prevented the typist from looking at the paper while typing. Ads
trumpeted its value to clergymen and lawyers, but it sold quite poorly at first. One reason: it was
expensive. It cost $125, the equivalent of more than $1,700 today.
Other keyboard layouts have been created since, and some are demonstrably more efficient, but
the original continues to thrive. It is a telling illustration of the power of inertia and the reward of being
first.
