Subject：Slimming down classics？
Mr． Handsome 2007-5-12 6：34AM	Orion Books，which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics （经典著作），is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L．Tolstoy，M．Mitchell and C．Bronte．Now，each of them has been whittled down to about 400pages by cutting 30to 40pages per cent of original，with words，sentences，paragraphs and，in a few cases，chapters removed．The first six shortened editions，all priced at￡6.99and advertised as great reads"in half the time"，will go on sale next month，with plans for 50to 100more to follow．The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions．
Mr． Edwards 2007-5-12 9：40AM	Well，I'm publisher of Orion Group．Thanks for your attention，Mr．Handsome． I must say，the idea developed from a game of"shame"in my office．Each of us was required to confess （承认） to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading．I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times．One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping （跳读） Jane Eyre．We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones． As a leading publishing house，we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it's not as if we're withdrawing the original versions．They are still there if you want to read them．
Ms．Weir 2007-5-12 11：35AM	I'm director of the online book club www．lovereading．co．uk Mr．Edwards，I think your shortened editions is a breath of fresh air．I'm guilty of never having read Anna Karenina，because it's just so long．I'd much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book．I am looking forward to more shortened classics!
Mr． Crockatt 2007-5-12 4：38PM	I'm from the London independent bookshop Crockatt & Powell． In my opinion，the practice is completely ridiculous．How can you edit the classics？I'm afraid reading some of these books is hard work，and that is why you have to develop as a reader．If people don't have time to read Anna Karenina，then fine．But don't read a shortened version and kid yourself it's the real thing．

19．If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time，they become weak； when you start using them again，they slowly become strong again．Everybody knows that．Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way．When someone says that he has a good memory，he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it．When someone else says that his memory is poor，he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong．If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak，we know that it is his own fault（过错）．But if he tells us that he has a poor memory，many of us think that his parents are to blame（受责备），and few of us know that it is just his own fault．Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories？This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things； they cannot write down in a little notebook．They have to remember days，names，songs and stories； so their memory is the whole time being exercised．So if you want to have a good memory，learn from the people：Practice remembering．
61．The main reason for one's poor memory is thatA．
A．his memory is not often used
B．he does not use his name or legs for some time

6．Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s．The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong．People watched him，and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach．Popeye helped sell 33percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets．Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable．
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong，but this is not true．Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable．
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake．In the 1890s，a group of people studied what was inside vegetables．This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did．The group wrote the number wrong，and everyone accepted it．
Today，we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is．However，spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid．
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong．Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along．

The Roman Empire came to and end about 1，500years ago．Yet in some ways it is still with us．Take the letters you are reading，for example，English，like many other languages，uses the Roman alphabet （字母） while also borrowing many words．The laws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws．Roman ruins are seen throughout Europe，North Africa，and the Middle East．In some places，Roman roads and water courses are still in use．To this day，a European in North Africa is likely to be called"Roumi"-Roman．Even modern place names are often after Ancient Rome．Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them．

11．If you are tired of common hotel rooms，maybe it's time to climb into a tree．A new generation of treehouses is appearing across the world，and designer Roderick Romero says he knows the reason and he once said，"They're magical．I've never seen someone climb into a treehouse and not smile．"
Edisto River
Before you can stay in one of the treehouses owned by Carolina Heritage Outfitters，you first have to canoe down the Edisto River．Every home offers cooking equipment and a comfortable sleeping bed．"It's a really good place to get back to nature，"Romero says．The treehouses have gas stoves and are lit by lanterns．
Treehotel
Romero was astonished when he first saw the buildings at this hotel 40miles south of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden．"It blew my mind．I couldn't believe what I was seeing，"he says．"The hotel rooms follow fantastic spare Scandinavian design．Architecturally this is one of the coolest ideas for a treehouse．"
Hideaway Café
While most treehouses are found in the woods，this coffee shop changes the idea with a location in downtown Tokyo．The building itself stands on stilts（桩）with a tree growing through the center of it．The café was the first treehouse designed by Kobayashi Takashi，who has created more than 120homes．
Tongabezi
One of the world's most fashionable treehouses stands in a tree alongside the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls．The large pine deck holds a bed and Turkish carpets．Guests can go on an expedition，or simply stay in their room and watch hippos playing in the river．
