In its latest move to fight online piracy (盜版), the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) has shut down hundreds of BT file-sharing websites, 36 the popular BTChina.net. The name BT is short for BitTorrent, one of the most common 37 methods used in 38 . As a result of 39 , the more people who download the same thing, the 40 the downloads get. BT sharing has been the means of choice for users to trade software , music, movies, and digital books, TV dramas and pirated DVDS and CDs. These BT sites were shut down either for operating without a 41 , or for copyright problems.
The closure of BT sites has 42 millions of young Chinese netizens. Liu Pei, a 27-year-old IT engineer who visits BTChina most nights to get a 43 movie, was upset by the change. “It was so popular and I can’t believe it has 44 from my life overnight,” he told China Daily newspaper. The shutdown might have an immediate 45 on the amount of downloads, but over time it will 46 quickly, according to Hurvitz, a member of the foreign counsel (法律顧問) for Kangxin Partners PC.
Netizens are beginning to search for new download 47 . “The problem is, if you shut down the top 48 BitTorrent sites, then people are simply going to go to number three, number four or number five on the list,” Hurvitz said. Whether netizens like it or not, SARFT said the 49 sites will have to solve the “copyright (版權) problem” if they want to reopen. Copyright should be 50 . If you don’t pay for 51 , investors lose money. Then no one will make movies in the future, experts say.
In the future, some 52 say, the concept of “downloading” will disappear. The Internet’s future is completely “online”, a founder of one software downloading website told Information Times. Eventually, you may not have to bother downloading content to your computer, but just 53 it online, the founder said. But the concept of “copyright” will still be there, inspiring talented people to create 54 things, in which they take pride, and from which they make 55 .

Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier— and some do exist — is not a good soldier because he is soon killed ; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.
In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used．If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not completely safe: an airplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!
The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.
In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you: fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.
In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.

3．Fear should be used properly because_________.
A．an airplane may crash on your house
B．you may get cancer
C．fear can only be used as a servant and guide
D．men are now letting fear rule them too much
