Denny Parker lived in a bad place. Because of a youth gang(帮派), he wanted to leave the area. The gang often caused trouble in the high school. As he was walking out of history class one day, Denny bumped(撞上) into another student. “Sorry,” he said, and kept walking. But he was stopped. Turning around, he found himself facing a very large, angry boy. It was Bill Douglas, a member of the gang!

“Hey,you pushed me!” Bill cried.

“Come on, Bill,” answered Denny, “I said I was sorry.”

“You're going to be sorry,” Bill said. “I will give you a lesson after school.”

“Oh, no,” thought Denny, hurrying to his next class. “I'm in trouble now.” The more he thought about it, the more fearful he became.

Then a word came to Denny's mind—courage. He decided to face it with courage. He had nothing to lose—except a few teeth. After school, many students waited on the corner. News had spread that there would be a fight. Bill Douglas and his gang were waiting, too.

The number of Japanese students in the Chinese mainland is more than those studying in the US, according to Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, a Taiwan news outlet reported on Monday.

Japan saw the peak of studying abroad in 2010 when 124,000 sought academic careers overseas. About 61,000 Japanese studied in the US in 2010, about half the total studying abroad. But since then, the number has decreased. In 2015, the number was down to only just over 20,000, about 20 percent of Japanese students being educated overseas.

The number of Japanese going to the Chinese mainland to study has been rising since 2009 and now surpasses the US.

An official spokesman said, "Choices are various for studying abroad nowadays, not just limited to the US. Many Japanese universities have an increasing number of exchange pro-grams with Chinese universities and Japanese companies now tend to prefer people with academic experience in Asia rather than the.US or Europe as previously. Tuition fees (学费)are another reason. Annual fees in US universities are almost twice those charged by Chinese

universities.”

Some Japanese experts say the decline indicates young Japanese are satisfied with the domestic situation rather than preparing for challenges outside.

There has been a technological revolution where kindles, e-books, and various online reading apps have taken over the world. Is reading a print book out of date? Well, not exactly.

There are so many wonderful factors involved with reading a print copy of the book. I remember the excitement of going to the bookstore with my mom when I was in elementary school. The feel of sitting down in the book store and selecting the books I wanted to read was just so much fun! I think that reading paperback books has its own charm and excitement that cannot be replaced by an electronic book. Holding the physical copy of the book in my hands, and turning over each page makes the reading experience so much more real and memorable.

Admittedly, e-books seem to be more convenient than print books. Purchasing an e-book can take place in seconds and these books are often priced less expensively than print copy books. With e-books, there likely isn’t going to be a storage problem, unless the device has a limit on how many books can be purchased. Then again, in order to read e-books one must have a particular device-tablet, iPad, kindle or laptop to read it on. Thus, an additional payment has to be made in order to read e-books, whereas reading print copies does not involve any extra device.

Print books never actually stopped leading the charge, considering that e-book sales have never made up more than a third of all book sales. And although they rose to that number extremely quickly—Amazon, only introduced the kindle in 2007-the majority of all books sold has always been print. The reality is that there is absolutely no reason print and e-books can’t coexist in the book market, but print books may carry the day.

1.What advantage do e-books have according to the passage?

A. The reading experience is more real.

B. There is no storage problem at all.

C. Purchasing them takes less time.

D. They are very priceless.

2.What can we infer about the book market?

A. E-book sales make up more than 1/3 of all book sales.

B. E-book sales have never surpassed print book sales.

C. Amazon occupies most of the market.

D. Print books and e-books can’t coexist.

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of print books?

A. Worried. B. Optimistic.

C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
