MILLIONS of
people now rent their movies the Netflix way. They
fill out a wish
list
from
the
50,000
titles
on
the
company's
Web
site
and
receive
the
first
few
DVD's
in the
mail; when they mail each one back, the next one
on the list is sent. The
Netflix model
has been exhaustively analyzed for its disruptive,
new-economy
（
31
）
implications.
What will it
mean for video stores like Blockbuster, which has,
in
fact, started a similar
service? What will it
mean
for movie
studios and theaters?
What
does
it
show
about
tail
businesses
--
ones
that
combine
many
niche
markets,
like
those
for
Dutch
movies
or
classic
musicals,
into
a
(32)single
large
audience?
But
one
other
major
implication
has
(33)barely
been
mentioned:
what
this
and
similar
Internet-based businesses mean for that
stalwart of the old economy, the United
States Postal Service.
Every

some
two
million
Netflix
envelopes
come
and
go
as
first-class
mail.
They are joined by
millions of other shipments from
（

online
pharmacies, eBay
vendors,
and other businesses that did not exist before the
Internet.
The
（

）
demise
of
mail
in
the
age
of
instant
electronic
communication
has
been
predicted
at
least
as
often
as
the
coming
of
the
paperless
office.
But
the
consumption of paper keeps
（
36
）
rising
. It has roughly doubled since 1980. On
average, an American household receives
twice as many pieces of mail a day as it
did in the 1970's.
The harmful side of the Internet's
impact is obvious but statistically less
important than many would guess. People
(37) naturally
write fewer
letters when
they
can
send
e-mail
messages.
To
(38)
leaf
through
a

is to know what has been

the pretty stamps, the varying

and

of
handwritten
and

correspondence,
the
tangible

that
was once in the sender's hands.

Section
A
Passage one
（
1
）
When
I
was
a
young
girl
living
in
Ireland,
I
was
always
pleased
when
it
rained,
because that meant I
could go treasure hunting.
What’s the
connection between a
wet
day
and
a
search
for
buried
treasure?
Well,
it’s
quite
simple.
Ireland,
as
some
of
you
may
already
know,
is
the
home
of
Leprechauns
–
little
men
who
possess
magic
powers and, perhaps more interestingly,
pots of gold.
（<
/p>

）
Now, although
Leprechauns are interesting characters, I have to
admit that
I
was
more
intrigued
by
the
stories
of
their
treasure
hoard.
This
,
as
all
of
Ireland
knows, they hide at
the end of the rainbow. Leprechauns can be
fearsome folk but
if
you
can
discover
the
end
of
the
rainbow,
they
have
to
unwillingly
surrender
their
gold
to
you.
So whenever it rained, I would
look up in the sky and follow the curve
of the rainbow to see where it ended. I
never did unearth any treasure, but I did
spend many happy, showery days dreaming
of what I could do with the fortune if I
found it.
（

）
As
I
got
older,
and
started
working,
rainy
days
came
to
be
just
another
nuisance
and my childhood
dreams of finding treasure faded. But for some
people the dream
of
striking
it
lucky
never
fades,
and
for
a
fortunate
few,
the
dream
even
comes
true!
Such
is
the
case
of
Mel
Fisher.
His
dream
of
finding
treasure
also
began
in
childhood,
while
reading
the
great
literature
classics
“Treasure
Island”
and
“Moby
Dick”.
However, unlike myself, he chased his
dream and in the end managed to become one
of the most famous professional
treasure hunters of all
time, and
for good reason.
In 1985, he
fished up the priceless cargo of the sunken
Spanish ship Atocha, which
netted him
an incredible $$400 million dollars!
（
4
）
After
the
ship
sank
in
1622
off
the
coast
of
Florida,
its
murky
waters
became
a treasure trove of
precious stones, gold
bars and silver
coins known as “pieces
of eight”. The
aptly
-named Fisher, who ran a
commercial salvaging operation, had
been
trying
to
locate
the
underwater
treasure
for
over
16
years
when
he
finally
hit
the
jackpot!
His
dreams
had come
true but finding
a
nd keeping the treasure wasn’t
all plain sailing. After battling with
hostile conditions at sea, Fisher then had
to battle in the courts. In fact, the
State of Florida took Fisher to court over
ownership
of
the
find
and
the
Federal
government
soon
followed
suit.
After
more
than
200
hearings,
Fisher
agreed
to
donate
20%
of
his
yearly
findings
for
public
display,
and
so
now
there
is
a
museum
in
Florida
which
displays
hundreds
of
the
objects
which
were salvaged from the
Atocha.
（

）
This true story seems like a
modern-day fairytale: a man pursues his dream
through
adversity
and
in
the
end,
he
triumphs
over
the
difficulties
-
they
all
live
happily
ever
after,
right?
Well,
not
exactly.
Archaeologists
object
to
the
fact
that
with
commercial salvaging operations like
Fisher’s, the
objects are
sold and
dispersed
and
UNESCO
are
worried
about
protecting
our
underwater
heritage
from
what
it
describes as “pillaging”.
（
6
）
The
counter-argument is that in professional, well-run
operations such as
Fisher’s, each piece
is accura
tely and minutely recorded and
that it is this
information
which
is
more
important
than
the
actual
object,
and
that
such
operations
help
increase
our
wealth
of
archaeological
knowledge.
Indeed,
as
in
Fisher’s
case,
they
make
history
more
accessible
to
people
through
museum
donations
and
information
on web sites.
（
7
）
The
distinction
of
whether
these
treasure
hunters
are
salvaging
or
pillaging
our
underwater
heritage
may
not
be
clear,
but
what
is
clear
is
that
treasure
hunting
is
not
just
innocent
child’s
play
anymore
but
profitable
big
business.
I
have
learnt
that
the
end
of
the
rainbow
is
beyond
my
reach,
but
in
consolation,
with
just
a
click
of the mouse, I too
can have a share in the riches that the Atocha has
revealed.
As Friedrich Nietzsche so
wisely said:
“Our treasure lies in the
beehive of our
knowledge.”
41. In , the phrase
“
hit the
jackpot
”
means
______according to the text.
A. discovered the jackpot.
B.
found the
treasure
C. broke one of the
objects
D. ran a salvaging
operation
