27、 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
28、 Success doesn’t begin until you begin the walk down the way towards your goals.
And your walk down the way always begins first with a baby step. Why do we call them baby steps? Are they really anything more than our next step down life’s way?
Baby steps are the first steps we take as an act of faith. We see others stepping out and we want to show our ability to walk by following them. As we grow, we continue our development by taking extra baby steps. Sometimes we fall; sometimes we fail. After that, all steps become an act of faith; we just become more practiced. If you say to yourself “I don’t want to make a fool of myself” or “I’d better be good at this”, you’ll probably never take the baby steps towards your goals and end up lying in your own self-pity.
As a culture, we focus on results. We think about every risk that must be taken to reach our goals. There are few people who are excellent performers of any tasks the first time they try them. They fail and succeed. Then, they build upon their abilities learned each time. They practice their skills and use their talents through baby steps before they are ready to prove them to the whole world.
So, learn to take those baby steps to reach the goals before you. Know that you can depend on God to show you the way. As you become more experienced, your baby steps become a walk, then a jump, and finally a sprint. That’s how our baby steps lead us through the marathon of life.
【1】In the third paragraph, the writer expresses the view that .
A.we can’t expect to succeed without working hard at first
B.adults should learn from babies in dealing with hard tasks
C.we must make full use of our skills in order to get rewards
D.baby steps play the key role in leading us towards success
【2】The underlined word “sprint” in the last paragraph probably means“ ”.
A.slow rush B.sudden stop C.hard climb D.fast run
【3】What’s the writer’s tone in the text?
A.Light-hearted. B.Regretful. C.Encouraging. D.Concerned.
