　　Do you want to see the pyramids in Egypt, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the glaciers in Alaska－and never pay for a hotel room? In 2004, four 20-somethings started a website to help other people do just that．The site is CouchSurfing．com．

　　The concept is simple．Log on to the CouchSurfing website, pick your destination and find somebody there who will allow you to sleep on their couch．You won’t have a hard time finding a host, says co-operator Daniel Hoffer．“ We have close to 200,000 members, and they are in more than 200 countries,” he says．

　　On a recent visit to CouchSurfer Alex Fisher’s apartment in Manhattan, a typical CouchSurfing situation was seen：a small, one-bedroom apartment with a mat in the corner．This week, Fisher’s apartment is host to two young women from Toronto－Amanda Charrion and Silvia Yee．

　　“It’s very good for the shoestring traveler,” Charrion says about her CouchSurfing experience．“It allows me to go out and visit new places and see new things where I don’t have to worry so much about the cost of everything．”

　　Fisher is a perfect host, offering all her CouchSurfing guests maps and restaurant recommendations, “I just think helping people out is great,” she says of her motivation for hosting．

　　But while it all sounds great, there are some questionable issues．You don’t really know too much about the person who is sleeping in the next room．And the only way to check out your host is by reading online reviews written by previous roommates．

　　Yee, who loves her CouchSurfing experience, quotes their parents’ words about the host, “They might cut people into little pieces．But it hasn’t happened．”

　　It hasn’t happened yet．Although the website claims that only 0.2 percent of the CouchSurfing experiences are negative, which might not be enough to convince everyone．

Net Library Is a library that lends out digital books．It treats a digital like a paperback copy．It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income．

From the consumer's point of view, this means that if more than, say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title can't be found．

It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced．More than 350 gave the company rights to hand out their digital works and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company．The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service．

Some librarians criticize the New Library model．Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital woks; which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet．

Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by E-Brary．E-Brary is starting a service mat lets us users read books for free．

But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer．

Christopher Warnock, chief executive of E-Brary, believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them．

"There's not really a lot of good m owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it．It doesn't make sense．" he said．

A．They get money from selling their books to the Net Library.

Every country has its different customs when visiting other people's homes for a dinner party. It's important to know these before visiting a foreign country, so that you can avoid making embarrassing mistakes. Three people from different countries explain how to behave at a dinner party there.

Masako, Japan

The first thing to remember when visiting a Japanese home for dinner is that you should always dress correctly, as if going to the office. Casual wear is not appropriate. When you meet someone in Japan you should always bow. A deep bow is suitable for someone older or senior to you, while a short bow is suitable for younger people or your peers. Remember to take off your shoes when you enter the house. Always take a gift when you visit a Japanese home. Your host will expect it. It is important to arrive on time, and certainly not more than five minutes late. Don't sit down at the table until your host tells you where to sit. When you have finished eating and drinking, return your chopsticks to the chopstick rest, and do not finish your glass. If you do so, your host will pour more into the glass.

Mamadou, Senegal

Don't be surprised if there are only men or only women at your table when you go out to dinner in Senegal. Men and women sometimes eat separately in nay country. Wait until your host tells you where to sit. We normally sit on the floor to eat. First, everyone washes their hands in a washing basin. When the food comes it will be placed in front of you, and at first you will be offered food from the dishes by your host. Later you can serve yourself from the dishes, but make sure you do not lean over the food. Take food from the part of the bowl closest to you. Try a little of everything. It is polite to do so. Please make sure your feet do not touch the mat on which the food is placed.

Luis, Spain

Spanish dinner parties are great fun. We often start late in the evening and don't get up to leave until the small hours of the morning. I think you will enjoy going out to dinner in Spain. Firstly, never arrive on time. Fifteen or twenty minutes late is normal. Shake hands with your host, smile and look him in the eye. If he offers you a cup of coffee, be sure to accept it. Not to do so would be to reject your host' s kindness. A gift is not necessary, but will be welcomed. Food is served on individual plates, western-style, and is eaten with a knife and fork. Keep your hands where others can see them during the meal, but don' t put your elbows on the table. When you have finished, put your knife and fork at an angle on the plate. Try to finish your food if you can!

72. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
