I live in Japan, where electronic  items  are a way of life, so it is no surprise that many students carry these little electronic dictionaries. E-dictionaries may be light and compact(简洁的) more so than any paper dictionary.  71___ It depends on which one you buy. To me, these are pretty much the limits to their advantages.

I think e-dictionaries should be limited in their use in classrooms.  72____

E-dictionaries are much more expensive. In Japan, they cost as little as 10,000 yen (US$100)much as 40,000 yen, depending on how many functions you want (or think you want) and depending on how fashionable you are. My trusty Random House paper dictionary is copyrighted at1995, cost me a mere US$12.95 plus tax.

E-dictionaries are more fragile(易碎的). Drop your paper dictionary. Go ahead. Hold it above your head and drop it.    73 

E-dictionaries need batteries. Batteries are temperature sensitive. Batteries cost money, too.

E-dictionaries have keypads. Typing in the spelling of a word is harder and more time consuming than looking through pages and using the index at the top of each page.

_74____ Such little devices beep(嘟嘟声) when you press the buttons, but it is very disturbing to some people in a classroom situation or library.

Finally, let’s consider making corrections or additions. No dictionary is perfect, paper version or electronic. However, when you find something you’d like to change in the e-dictionary, you can’t do anything about it. You can pencil in some notes with the paper type. Similarly, if you learn a word that isn’t in the dictionary, a few notes of a pencil make it easy to increase its memory capacity.

__75__ And, for those students whose habit is to mark certain words with a highlight pen for ease of future reference, again, the paper dictionary wins out.

   A.But it is impossible  to do so with a keypad model

   B.They may even contain more words and expressions

   C.Sometimes e-dictionaries trouble you and you really don’t know how to get rid of them

   D.Now, try this with any lightweight plastic e-dictionary, and you’ll be picking up the pieces

   E.That huge, heavy paper dictionary that you see in your library looks like a building block in size and weight.

   F.E-dictionaries have advantages as well as disadvantages

   G.Let’s take a look at the following reasons
