It seems obvious that you don"t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band"s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will heat. The Crimea"s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn"t the top priority. The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to. This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels. There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people"s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage. The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.

The difference between a liquid and a gas is obvious (1)____ the conditions of temperature and pressure commonly found at the surface of the Earth.

The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories (4)____(describe) the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory maintained that a liquid could be “dissolved” in a vapor without losing its identity, and another theory held that the two phases are made up of different kinds of molecules (分子).

The most obvious characteristics of the Communicative Approach is that almost everything that is done is done with a communicative intent.（）
Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the
general public and to sociologists that modern society has
changed people’s natural relations, loosed their responsibilities 1．______
to kins and neighbors, and substituted in their place 2．______
for superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. 3．______
However, in recent years a growing body of research has
revealed that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you are
a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your
neighbors than you if you are a resident of a smaller community. 4．______
But, for the most part, this fact has a few significant 5．______
consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few
of your neighbors you will know no one else.
Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within
small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of
meaningful relationships do not differ from more and less 6．______
urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin
than do big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by 7．______
developing friendships with people who share similar interests
and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life,
but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor 8．______
are residents of large communities any likely to display 9．______
psychological symptoms of stress or alienation than are
residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do
worry more about crime, and which leads them to a distrust of 10．______
strangers.
