Hello. I’m Jan from Mrs. Lake’s class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.

Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.

The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.

We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean,please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake’ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P. M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we''ll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!

Electronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as electronic music publishing. By delivering text direct to the user’s computer screen, the e-book could cut down costs, and allow creators to deal directly with their audience, bypassing (绕过) traditional publishers and readers. But it also raises the possibility of mass piracy (盗版). Phil Rance, founder and managing director of Online Originals, a London-based e-book publisher, sums it up. “No one wants Napster (在线音乐服务) to happen to books.”

Indeed, the most popular MP3 have put the frighteners on (威胁) an industry that generally operates some way behind the “bleeding edge”. The Mata Group, a leading US-based market researcher, says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their rights, “We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a river that is already overflowing. Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with new ways to develop wide electronic distribution (分布), asking the question: ‘How can we use the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage?’”

At the moment, most publishers would like to limit the use of e-books to the person who bought them, or to the computer used to download them. If that can be done, e-books become just an extra income stream in a publishing industry that would continue to operate the way it does today, according to Terry Robinson, business manager for Adobe’s e-paper group. “If you’ve cracked digital rights aspect, you’ve cracked the market,” he says.

Robert Nichols, Books Director at BOL agrees, “Rights management is absolutely important. Publishers just say that ‘until copyright is secure, we’re not going to talk’.”

1.Which of the following can be the best title for this text?

A. Changes Brought by E-books

B. The E-book— an Extra Income Stream

C. An Economic Rise from E-books

D. The E-book— a New and Big Challenge

2.According to the text, what do e-books and electronic music have in common?

A. They result in piracy.

B. They lead to price reduction.

C. They avoid industry management.

D. They bring in more money to creators.

3.What do publishers care most about e-books?

A. Copyright. B. Price.

C. Quality. D. Popularity.
