Recently I found Kobo, an online book store that allows me to buy e-books and read them on a device(设备) of my choice. I'm a girl living in Indonesia, where e-books are not available and I had to buy physical books (有形图书) from Amazon in the past. There are two problems with it:

Shipping cost. Since I live far away from the United States, it costs a lot to Ship a book.

Shipping costs almost as much as the book itself.

Shipping time. It takes about three weeks for the books to arrive through postal mail.

Now with Kobo, I can eliminate those two problems. Not only does it cost less time and money to get the books, but also I prefer to read e-books this way than reading physical books. Here are three reasons why:

●I can easily bring the books everywhere. Since all the books are in my iPod touch, I can simply put the device into my pocket and bring it everywhere I go.

●The size is smaller. The size of the iPod Touch is smaller than a physical book. This makes reading more convenient(方便) for me,

●I can read in any position I want. The iPod has a light source, so I can read when I am in darkness. This means that I can read in practically any position and condition.

One more advantage I haven't mentioned is space. Physical books take space, but e-books don't.

Instead of burying(埋葬) your face in an ocean of textbooks, newspapers, magazines and novels, you will soon find that an E-book reader can take the place of them all.

An E-book reader is a new kind of mini machine designed to hold thousands of text files and display them on the screen as real text printed(印刷) on a paper page.

In t he same way in which the iPod(a kind of MP3) has changed the way people enjoy music, E-book readers could change the way that books are read. Some scientists have predicted that E-books will be used widely in our daily life, especially in schools.

The size of an E-book reader is the same as that of real books. Its screen is different from that of a computer. It is as thin as a piece of paper. The words on an E-book reader's screen look exactly the same as those on real pages. However, you can do more with an E-book reader than you can with a real book. The reader can change the size of the words and connect to the Internet to download new books.

【2】What are the differences between an E-book and a real book?

B.The real book can change the size of the words, but the E-book reader can not

D.A real book is not so useful as an E-book reader

【3】The screen of an E-book reader looks like .

Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?

Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My Feelings Are Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells how to stay cool when bad things happen.

The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse.【2】. “Getting angry is not a natural way to act,” the book says, “It’s just a bad habit, like smoking.”
