When Steven King published his book Riding the Bullet, around two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours. It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business, and it was a wake-up call for the publishing industry.
An electronic book, or e-book, is simply a version of a book that allows you to store and display it digitally. There are already thousands of classic and best-selling titles available on websites such as ebooks.com.
E-book technology allows you to carry around a whole library in a small unit. You can also
highlight a word to bring up its definition or increase the font size if you have bad eyesight. In fact, e-book readers are being developed for people who are visually impaired or dyslexic.
Another advantage is that it lets you buy books in segments and carry them around easily, which should appeal to students. In fact, the University of South Dakota is planning to give hand-held devices to all its students to help them in their studies.
However, for all this, the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big. A recent report predicted sales of just 1.9 million in the next 5 years. And the reason? E-books are more difficult to read and they are just not as attractive as the printed word.
16. The writer warns that the publishing industry should be ready for an important change. 17. E-books will become much cheaper in the near future. 18. One advantage of e-books is that you can find the meanings of individual words easily.
19. Students will use libraries less in the future.
20. Sales of e-books are expected to increase rapidly in the future. 阅读理解 5

The number of homes without a television in the UK has been growing steadily for over 10 years now. Many people choose not to have a TV because they are worried about their children. One parent, Joan, said, ? We got rid of our TV when our son was 4 because we found that he was more interested in watching television than playing, and we thought this wasn‘t healthy‘.

In fact, we do many things more easily and more cheaply using the Internet. So, I cannot imagine what society would be like without the Internet. 题目2
