13．Some people seem easy to understand：their character appears obvious on first meeting．Appearances，however，can be deceptive．For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen．I don't know very much about them．I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right．I think they must have small insight or great vanity．For my own part I find that the longer I know people，the more they puzzle me．
I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died．He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years．Once he gave me a great surprise．Unless I had heard the story from his own lips，I'd never have velieved that he was capable of such an action．He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and position．He didn't talk much，but what he said was sensible．Tou couldn't imagine he'd possible raise his voice in anger．Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows．He'd tell with point a good and spicy story，and in his youth he'd been something of an athete．He was a rich man and he'd made every penny himself．I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so weak； he arounsed your instinets（本能）of protection．You felt he couldn't bear to hurt a fly．
    One afternoon Burton told me a"funny"story in a quiet，dry humour：
"There was a namesake（同名人）of mine，who was the best bridge player I ever met．He seemed to have a fantastic instinct about the cards．I used to play with him a lot．"
"He was handsome in a way with curly hair and pink-and-white cleeks．Women thought a lot of him．There was no harm in him，he was only wild．Pf course he drank too much．He won a good deal of my money by card-playing．"
"One day he came to me when he went broke．He came to see me in my office and asked me for a job．I asked him how old he was．
"'Thirty-five'，he said．"
"'And what have you been doing hitherto？'I asked him．
"'Well，nothing very much，'he said．
"'I'm afraid I can't do anything for you just yet，'I said．'Come back and see me in another thirty-five years，and I'll see what I can do．'
"He didn't move．He went rather pale．He hesitated for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time．He hadn't been willing to stick to bridge，he'd been playing poker，and he'd got trimmed．He hadn't a penny．He'd pawned everything he had．He couldn't pay his hotel bill and they wouldn't give him any more credit．He was down and out．If he couldn't get something to do he'd have to commit suicide．
"I looked at him for a bit．I could see now that he was all to pieces．He'd been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty．The girls wouldn't have thought so much of him if they'd seen him then．
"I got some glimmering of what he was driving at．I've known too many men who were little tin gods at their university．
"Suddenly I had an idea．"Pausing in his story，Burton turned to me．"When I was young I swam over three miles round the beacon（灯塔）and landed at the river of Tarumi．It's rather difficult on account of the currents round the beacon．Well，I told my young fellow about it and I said that if he'd do it I'd give him a job．
"I could see he was rather taken aback．He was not in good condition for sports．He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded．"
"I told him I'd drive round to the river at half past twelve and meet him．
"Done，"he said．
"I wished him good luck and he left me．I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to the creek at Tarumi at half past twelve．But I needn't have hurried；he never turned up．
"Did he funk it at the last moment？"I asked．
"No，he didn't funk it．He started all right．But of course he'd ruined his constitution by drink．The currents round the beacon were more than he could manage．We didn't get the body for about three days
I didn't say anything for a moment or two．I was a trifle shocked．Then I asked．
"When you made him that offer of a job，did you know he'd be drowned？'
    He looked at me with his kind blue eyes，smiling．"Well，I hadn't got a vacancy in my office at the moment．"

8．Editor Henry Slocum，
I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books，or e-books，with great interest．You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books．You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．Yes，e-books are expensive，but they are also convenient．In addition，due to their environment-friendly nature，e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better．
E-books，for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term，are about the same size and shape as regular books．They have a large screen in the middle，however．This screen shows the reader a page of text that has been downloaded from a computer．Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen．he or she scrolls down to see a new page．The process continues until the entire book has been read．
As you pointed out．Mr．Slocum，it's great to lie on a warm，sandy beach with a book．You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book．In fact，because e-books are so light，you can carry them anywhere．Say，for example，that you like to read on the bus．Which would you rather carry with you-a heavy 800-page novel，or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces？
Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well．They are more environmentfriendly than traditional books．At present，thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper．Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the Dublisher and destroyed．This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books，which require no paper．
Sincerely，
David Eng
