26、   Like a tired marriage.the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been dull. E- books, however，are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版)and lost sales to co-operate. Among the big six, only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.

Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of e-readers (电子阅读器)are exactly the customers they need: book-lovers with money. If these people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live， book files can be downloaded at home. The files disappear from the device when they are due.

E-lending is not simple, however. There are lots of different and often incompatible(不兼容的)e-book formats, devices and licenses. Most libraries use a company called OverDrive, which secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format. Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrive s global market dominance (优势)，as the company can control fees and conditions. Publishers were annoyed when OverDrive cooperated with Amazon, the world's biggest online bookseller，last year. Owners of Amazon’s Kindle e- reader who want to borrow e-books from libraries are now redirected to Amazon’s website, where they must use their Amazon account to secure a loan.

According to Pew,an opinion researcher, library users are a perfect market for Amazon. Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners' Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month.

Library supporters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new works. Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey»which found that more than half of Americans with library cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.

So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance.

Random House raised its licensing price's earlier this year,and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times.

【1】It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that ________.

A. several big publishers have sold e-books to libraries

B. most publishers are hesitant to cooperate with libraries

C. libraries are eager to keep strong relationship with publishers

D. libraries and publishers face the same problem of e-books’ piracy

【2】Why are publishers worried that people will switch to electronic borrowing?

A. E-books must be checked out and returned to libraries regularly.

B. There is no time limit for the book files downloaded on the device.

C. There are lots of different and incompatible e-book formats available.

D. Book sales may drop sharply because of convenient electronic borrowing.

【3】We can learn from the text that ________.

A. Amazon is adopting measures to win more customers

B. e-books can be lent at libraries as many times as you like

C. OverDrive distributes e-books and audio files to publishers

D. over half of Americans are borrowing e-boo from libraries

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. The Hopeful Future of Publishing Business

B. The Uncertain Economics of Lending E-books

C. The Dull Relationship between Libraries and Publishers

D. The Close Cooperation between OverDrive and Amazon

27、How to Speak in Meetings

Making your voice heard is one way to gain respect in your school or workplace. Yet, you may feel like you have nothing new to say or contribute. Here are some ways to make you feel ready for a meeting.

【1】Having some ideas about what you want to say already planned out can help you to feel more confident in a meeting. Try writing down a few ideas for questions you can ask or ideas you can bring up in the meeting【2】

Be the first speaker. If you want to speak yet somehow talk your way out of it, try being the first to say something. 【3】Make a point to jump in first and create discussion instead of delaying your comments.

Speak confidently. 【4】Make your words meaningful. Even if you don’t feel confident, show confidence in what you’re saying and how you’re saying it. Speak clearly and try to avoid fillers like “ uh” or “um”.

Make a brief point. There’s no need, to ramble on (啰嗦地说) to make sure that you’re heard or that people understand you.   【5】 Make what you say memorable, not time-wasting. Take some time to form your thoughts and ideas, and then say it in a clear and effective way.

A．Make sure you turn to your teachers for help.

B．Focus on speaking clearly and with fewer words.

C．Plan out a few talking points before the meeting.

D．Speaking first means you have less time to doubt yourself.

E．Use these notes to guide you when you are ready to speak.

F．Surround yourself with people who make you feel good about yourself.

G．You don’t need to shout or talk over people to say something confidently.

28、   How much sleep do we need? It’s a fundamental question about a basic human function we’ve been practicing for long, but there’s still no simple answer. But whether you’re a morning or evening person could be guided by your genes. That said, your sleeping pattern will change naturally with age, which is also reflected in the National Sleep Foundation recommendations: it suggests 14-17 hours of shuteye a day for newborn babies and only 7-8 hours for over-65s.

But scientists said it’s about more than simple duration. Teens and people in their early 20s do want to go to bed later and get up later too, something researchers suggest might be to do with changing hormones(荷尔蒙). “On average, there’s about a two-hour difference in preferred sleep times of somebody in their late teens or early twenties to somebody in their late 50s or early 60s,” he said. “So asking a teenager to get up at 7 o’ clock in the morning is the equivalent of asking a 55-year-old to get up at five in the morning.”

At the end of the day, the best way to measure how much sleep you each need is to listen to your own body. Do you rely on an alarm clock to wake up? Do you take a long time to feel awake? Are you dependent on coffee drinks to keep you focused during the day? Are you overly impulsive(冲动的) or do you find yourself running a lot of traffic lights, for instance? All these could be signs that you’re not getting enough sleep.

And that, we know today, is bad. The environment can affect your sleep preferences but your genes stay. Scientists said that the understanding of the importance of sleep was “one of the great achievements of modern neuroscience(神经科学),” and that society was moving away from the all-nighter culture to respect the need for sleep.

【1】What’s the writer’s intention of writing the passage?

A.To report his research results. B.To express the importance of sleep.

C.To list some sleeping patterns. D.To persuade people to have enough sleep.

【2】What would not change according to the passage?

A.Age. B.Genes.

C.Hormones. D.Sleeping pattern.

【3】What does the underlined word “that’ in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Not getting enough sleep. B.Listening to your own body.

C.Running a lot of traffic lights. D.Not understanding of the importance of sleep.

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Sleeping Patterns

B.The Importance of Sleep

C.A Great Achievement of Neuroscience

D.Different People Need Different Amounts of Sleep

The Safe (保险箱)

----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich

Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.

The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect! You’ll be wealthy b【2】 your wildest dreams.” The rich man was d【3】 to hear this. Before he left on a long journey, he promised the mathematician double pay to run his business for him.

When the rich man returned, he found that all of his wealth was gone. Very angry, he asked the mathematician to explain. The mathematician told him he’d g【4】 everything away to people in the neighborhood.

The mathematician said “There is a limit to how much wealth one can get by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us a【5】 our goal. By helping o【6】, you could gain the most!”

Disappointed, the rich man went away. As he was walking, every neighbor he met was so thankful to him that they o【7】 him anything he needed.

Over the next few weeks, the man saw the mathematician’s idea really w【8】. He was received with great honor w【9】 he went. Everyone did all they could to help him.

He no longer dreamed of keeping his wealth in a safe. I 【10】 he shared it with hundreds of friends. He was now truly rich.
