第一节:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项选项的标号涂黑。

A

Although he will always be remembered for portraying(扮演) “Superman,” the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeve’s life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord (脊椎) injuries and an advocate of stem cell (干细胞) research.

Unlike the man of steel, he wasn’t faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldn’t leap tall buildings in a single bound. But the courage and determination Reeve displayed in trying to overcome his paralysis (瘫痪) from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the

achievements of the comic book hero.

“He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain’s Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”

Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, established the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.

He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

“He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christopher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.

Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore (恢复)movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.

41. Which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of Reeve?

A. strong-willed and caring B. tough and persuasive

C. caring and reliable D. sympathetic and considerate

42. The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that ______.

A. Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his film

B. the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be remembered

C. Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysis

D. the inspiring image in Reeve’s real life was even greater than that in his film

43. Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except______.

A. setting up a non-profit research organization

B. winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstacles

C. influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell research

D. struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell research

44. It can be implied from the passage that ______.

A. Reeve remained optimistic after suffering from paralysis

B. stem cell research has long been a controversial subject

C. paralysis can happen to anyone no matter how strong he seems

D. some presently incurable illnesses are to be cured in the near future

45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. A Fighter of Spinal Cord Injuries B. A Real Hero in Film

C. A Forever Superman D. A Struggling Life

Studies show that you may be lied every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. We say, “Nice song.” “Honey, you don’t look fat in that, no.” But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do other people. Women lie more to protect other people. If you’re married, you’re going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. If you’re unmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, it’s because you agreed to get lied to. Truth about lying: lying’s a cooperative

D. HKUST & SSEL 47. Which is the common aim between an Overture to Global Leadership and the Art of Public 49. For a Hong Kong resident who wants to attend HKUST Chapter, ______.

act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes we’re willing to lie for the sake of social dignity (尊严), maybe to keep a private secret.

Lying is complex. It’s woven into the fabric of our daily and business lives. We’re deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we don’t understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. We’re against lying, but secretly we’re for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. It’s as old as breathing. It’s part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.

Lying has great value to the evolution of human being. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We human like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see who’s coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Two-year-olds bluff (虚张声势). Five-year-olds lie outright and try to control via flattery (讨好). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up. By the time you enter college, you’re going to lie to your mom in one out of every five interactions. By the time we enter this work world to be breadwinners, we’ve entered a world that is just full of fake digital friends, business media, identity thieves, world-class cheats, ——in short, a post-truth society.

What do you do? Well there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters(监视人) get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, we’re only 54% accurate. Why is it so easy to learn? There are clever liars and stupid liars. There’re no real original liars. We all make the same mistakes. We all use the same techniques.

50. From Para.1 we learn that lying is very ________.

A. harmful B. easy C. interesting

D. common 51. According to the passage, a lie works when _________. A. the liar’s words are sweet enough B. it is given to a complete stranger

C. someone gives the liar cooperation D. we are willing to lie for the dignity

52. Lying is complex because ________.

A. it is practiced by clever ones B. people are for it as well as against it

C. ancient stories are full of lies D. it is the whole part of great culture

53. The examples of kids lying in the passage show ________.

A. lying is a sign of intelligent development

B. lying is good for children’s growing up

C. at what age children begin to tell lies

D. 9-year-old children are masters of lying

54. What will the writer most likely talk about if he continues the passage?

A. How to become clever liars. B. How to avoid stupid lies.

C. How to get through the bushes. D. How to tell truth from lies.

You could feel sorry for Alberto Torres, who is blind. The last thing he remembers seeing was his daughter being born 13 years ago. Then the world went blank; he can only imagine what his

only child looks like now, as a teenaged honor student. Bad luck is no stranger to this warm and thoughtful 37-year-old man. His mother died of cancer when he was 4, and his father, who was often ill, had to give him up to the care of the state when he was 11. He later worked for 19 years in a workshop making household goods, deathly boring work. Earlier this month, Alberto Torres’s wife, who had just been laid off from her job, had to have a breast removed due to cancer and now faces a year of radiation treatments. Things seemed always to go from almost incredibly bad to worse. Even Mr. Torres’s good luck has a dark side: Five years ago, his lovely guide dog pulled him out of the path of a truck. Mr. Torres was not hurt. The dog was killed.

But Mr. Torres does not feel sorry for himself. “These are just little bumps you have to go over in your life,” he said. At 5 a.m. on a recent morning, we caught up with Mr. Torres at a subway stop in Brooklyn, New York, near where he lives in a third-floor apartment (with no elevator). He had been up since 3 a.m., feeding his new dog, making coffee, getting ready. “When you’re blind, it takes a little longer to do things,” he said.

Mr. Torres was beginning his two-hour trip to his job developing film in the X-ray department of the emergency room of the Bronx hospital. He would take the G train to Queens Plaza station to the R train, heading towards Manhattan. He would then ride the R train to 59th Street where he would walk upstairs to switch to the Number 6 train. At one point along the journey, he might chat with a stranger. At another, someone would pat his dog, calling him by name. People offered

assistance, even seats. At 125th Street, Mr. Torres would transfer to the Number 4 train by crossing the platform. At 149th Street, he would go down to the Number 2. He would take that to East 180th Street where he nearly always has a long wait for his final train, to Pelham Parkway. Then he and his dog would walk 20 minutes to the hospital.

It was a hard job to come by. Before he got the job, Mr. Torres was determined to escape the workshop run by an organization dedicated(致力) to help people who can’t see. He wanted a job developing X-ray film, something that everyone must do in the dark. He had to handle the long trip, as well as the work. “Our philosophy here is that blind people can do just about anything except drive buses,” it was the thinking about disabled people at the Bronx hospital. “We find what a person can do rather than what he can’t do,” said the hospital’s director.

One day a while ago marked the first anniversary of Mr. Torres’s hiring. He developed 150 or so X-rays, his usual output, to celebrate. Mr. Torres works by himself in a small, dark room that smells of chemicals. He cannot wear gloves, because he needs to feel. It is hard work, related to emergency of lives. His immediate supervisor says he trusts him 100%. Mr. Torres makes $20,000 a year. But his motivation goes beyond money. “If I start feeling like a victim, that makes me bitter. And why be bitter? That makes you go into a hole and stay there.” he said. “I’m not doing anything out of the ordinary,” insisted Mr. Torres as he quickly completed the task.

55. Mr. Torres became blind when ________.

A. his daughter was just born

C. his mother died of cancer B. he was thirteen years old D. his wife was out of work

56. Mr. Torres does not feel sorry for himself because he ________.

A. was once saved by his lovely guide dog

B. is taken good care of by the government

C. thinks it’s natural to have setbacks in life

D. believes it takes a little longer to do things

57. The description of Mr. Torres’s long trip to work shows ________.

A. the effective traffic system

C. the loyalty of his guide dog

A. Sympathy counts most.

C. Preference for the blind.

A. make plenty of money

B. the kindness of New Yorkers D. his will to overcome difficulty B. Ability comes first. D. Easy job for the weak. B. win his supervisor’s trust 58. What is the principle of the hospital in employing a worker? 59. Mr. Torres works very hard in order to ________. C. live like a normal person A. deep thinking D. complete his daily task B. weak motivation D. great independence 60. In the eyes of the writer, Alberto Torres is a man of _______. C. special talents

第二节:下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题(第61—65题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段落的小标题,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Track Your Page Count

B. Keep a Record of Your Time

C. Team Up and Read Socially

D. Take Advantage of Technology

E. Set a Goal to Encourage Yourself

F. Treat Yourself in One Way or Another

How to Train Yourself to Read More

Between work, a social life, your family, television and the Internet, it can be difficult to find time to read more. Reading is important, however, for a range of reasons: It improves cognitive (认知) ability, enriches vocabulary, helps with spelling and increases general knowledge. Just having an intention to read more won’t guarantee you actually do it, though. You need a series of strategies, exploring a way to train yourself to read more.

61. ___________

You don’t need expensive training programs or software to train to read more; all you really need is a timer. Consider how much free time you have in a day, then set aside part of that time for reading. Make sure this is a feasible (可行的) goal—— start small, say, 30 minutes. Each day, use your timer and read for the amount of time you set. After a week, increase your time. The increase doesn’t have to be much, perhaps an additional 15 minutes. As weeks go by, continue adding the same small amount to your reading time. Before you know it, you’ll be reading for two or three hours per day.

62. ___________

Before you begin training to read more, take a week or two to measure how many pages you read on average per week. Once you’ve gotten an idea of your baseline reading amount, increase it slowly. Try to read at least an additional 5—10 pages per week. You’ll probably be able to sneak

these pages into your normal schedule without too much effort. You could, for example, read when you find yourself waiting or during meals if you’re alone. Or you could try turning off the television a little earlier each day. Keep track of how many pages you’ve read each week so you can see your progress.

63.____________

Technology doesn’t have to be the enemy of the written word; in fact, you can make use of your electronic devices. Invest in an e-reader, if you can, or use a tablet to read books. This will save you having to carry around a heavy book, and because you can put multiple books on an e-reader or tablet, you’ll always have plenty to read. You can also load books onto your smart phone so that you can read when you have a few spare minutes.

64.____________

Although you might begin training to read more with excitement or enthusiasm, these can quickly disappear if you don’t devise a method of rewarding or motivating yourself. These rewards don’t have to be large or expensive. You could reward yourself with something, such as chocolate or a small gift, each time you hit a reading goal, whether this is number of pages or amount of reading time. Or, if you’re feeling charitable (有善心), donate a small sum of money to your favorite cause each time you hit your goal.

65.____________

Reading is mainly an individual activity, but there are social sides you can tap into to keep you motivated to read more. Join a local book club, and if your library or town doesn’t have one, start your own. Share with other book lovers or learn more about your favorite books by joining sites such as Goodreads, PaperBack Swap or BookLamp, if you decide to participate in websites for book enthusiasts. However, be sure that your reading time isn’t eaten up by surfing the Internet.

disadvantages.

First of all, some of online readings are free of charge. Secondly, it is easy to find what you want to read just by typing out key words. What's more, e-readings don't use natural resources. But e-books do have their disadvantages. For example, they hurt your eyes if you read too long. What's more, you have to have a computer and other equipment. What makes matters worse, you can't make notes on pages.

Quite opposed to e-reading, traditional reading won't hurt your eyes. You can make notes just on pages. Besides that, you can keep your books as long as forever. But it costs you money to buy

them. And making paper for books wastes natural resources.

In my opinion, history makes everything. In ancient times, the Chinese people used bamboo books. Maybe in the future, we will never have paper books. E-books will be just as convenient.

A

Although he will always be remembered for portraying(扮演) “Superman,” the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeve’s life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord (脊椎) injuries and an advocate of stem cell (干细胞) research.

Unlike the man of steel, he wasn’t faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldn’t leap tall buildings in a single bound. But the courage and determination Reeve displayed in trying to overcome his paralysis (瘫痪) from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the

achievements of the comic book hero.

“He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain’s Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”

Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, established the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.

He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

“He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christopher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.

Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore (恢复)movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.

41. Which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of Reeve?

A. strong-willed and caring B. tough and persuasive

C. caring and reliable D. sympathetic and considerate

42. The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that ______.

A. Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his film

B. the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be remembered

C. Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysis

D. the inspiring image in Reeve’s real life was even greater than that in his film

43. Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except______.

A. setting up a non-profit research organization

B. winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstacles

C. influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell research

D. struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell research

44. It can be implied from the passage that ______.

A. Reeve remained optimistic after suffering from paralysis

B. stem cell research has long been a controversial subject

C. paralysis can happen to anyone no matter how strong he seems

D. some presently incurable illnesses are to be cured in the near future

45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. A Fighter of Spinal Cord Injuries B. A Real Hero in Film

C. A Forever Superman D. A Struggling Life

Studies show that you may be lied every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. We say, “Nice song.” “Honey, you don’t look fat in that, no.” But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do other people. Women lie more to protect other people. If you’re married, you’re going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. If you’re unmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, it’s because you agreed to get lied to. Truth about lying: lying’s a cooperative

act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes we’re willing to lie for the sake of social dignity (尊严), maybe to keep a private secret.

Lying is complex. It’s woven into the fabric of our daily and business lives. We’re deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we don’t understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. We’re against lying, but secretly we’re for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. It’s as old as breathing. It’s part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.

Lying has great value to the evolution of human being. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We human like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see who’s coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Two-year-olds bluff (虚张声势). Five-year-olds lie outright and try to control via flattery (讨好). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up. By the time you enter college, you’re going to lie to your mom in one out of every five interactions. By the time we enter this work world to be breadwinners, we’ve entered a world that is just full of fake digital friends, business media, identity thieves, world-class cheats, ——in short, a post-truth society.

What do you do? Well there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters(监视人) get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, we’re only 54% accurate. Why is it so easy to learn? There are clever liars and stupid liars. There’re no real original liars. We all make the same mistakes. We all use the same techniques.

50. From Para.1 we learn that lying is very ________.

A. harmful B. easy C. interesting

D. common 51. According to the passage, a lie works when _________. A. the liar’s words are sweet enough B. it is given to a complete stranger

C. someone gives the liar cooperation D. we are willing to lie for the dignity

52. Lying is complex because ________.

A. it is practiced by clever ones B. people are for it as well as against it

C. ancient stories are full of lies D. it is the whole part of great culture

53. The examples of kids lying in the passage show ________.

A. lying is a sign of intelligent development

B. lying is good for children’s growing up

C. at what age children begin to tell lies

D. 9-year-old children are masters of lying

54. What will the writer most likely talk about if he continues the passage?

A. How to become clever liars. B. How to avoid stupid lies.

C. How to get through the bushes. D. How to tell truth from lies.

You could feel sorry for Alberto Torres, who is blind. The last thing he remembers seeing was his daughter being born 13 years ago. Then the world went blank; he can only imagine what his

only child looks like now, as a teenaged honor student. Bad luck is no stranger to this warm and thoughtful 37-year-old man. His mother died of cancer when he was 4, and his father, who was often ill, had to give him up to the care of the state when he was 11. He later worked for 19 years in a workshop making household goods, deathly boring work. Earlier this month, Alberto Torres’s wife, who had just been laid off from her job, had to have a breast removed due to cancer and now faces a year of radiation treatments. Things seemed always to go from almost incredibly bad to worse. Even Mr. Torres’s good luck has a dark side: Five years ago, his lovely guide dog pulled him out of the path of a truck. Mr. Torres was not hurt. The dog was killed.

But Mr. Torres does not feel sorry for himself. “These are just little bumps you have to go over in your life,” he said. At 5 a.m. on a recent morning, we caught up with Mr. Torres at a subway stop in Brooklyn, New York, near where he lives in a third-floor apartment (with no elevator). He had been up since 3 a.m., feeding his new dog, making coffee, getting ready. “When you’re blind, it takes a little longer to do things,” he said.

Mr. Torres was beginning his two-hour trip to his job developing film in the X-ray department of the emergency room of the Bronx hospital. He would take the G train to Queens Plaza station to the R train, heading towards Manhattan. He would then ride the R train to 59th Street where he would walk upstairs to switch to the Number 6 train. At one point along the journey, he might chat with a stranger. At another, someone would pat his dog, calling him by name. People offered

assistance, even seats. At 125th Street, Mr. Torres would transfer to the Number 4 train by crossing the platform. At 149th Street, he would go down to the Number 2. He would take that to East 180th Street where he nearly always has a long wait for his final train, to Pelham Parkway. Then he and his dog would walk 20 minutes to the hospital.

It was a hard job to come by. Before he got the job, Mr. Torres was determined to escape the workshop run by an organization dedicated(致力) to help people who can’t see. He wanted a job developing X-ray film, something that everyone must do in the dark. He had to handle the long trip, as well as the work. “Our philosophy here is that blind people can do just about anything except drive buses,” it was the thinking about disabled people at the Bronx hospital. “We find what a person can do rather than what he can’t do,” said the hospital’s director.

One day a while ago marked the first anniversary of Mr. Torres’s hiring. He developed 150 or so X-rays, his usual output, to celebrate. Mr. Torres works by himself in a small, dark room that smells of chemicals. He cannot wear gloves, because he needs to feel. It is hard work, related to emergency of lives. His immediate supervisor says he trusts him 100%. Mr. Torres makes $20,000 a year. But his motivation goes beyond money. “If I start feeling like a victim, that makes me bitter. And why be bitter? That makes you go into a hole and stay there.” he said. “I’m not doing anything out of the ordinary,” insisted Mr. Torres as he quickly completed the task.

55. Mr. Torres became blind when ________.

A. his daughter was just born

C. his mother died of cancer B. he was thirteen years old D. his wife was out of work

56. Mr. Torres does not feel sorry for himself because he ________.

A. was once saved by his lovely guide dog

B. is taken good care of by the government

C. thinks it’s natural to have setbacks in life

D. believes it takes a little longer to do things

57. The description of Mr. Torres’s long trip to work shows ________.

A. the effective traffic system

C. the loyalty of his guide dog

A. Sympathy counts most.

C. Preference for the blind.

A. make plenty of money

B. the kindness of New Yorkers D. his will to overcome difficulty B. Ability comes first. D. Easy job for the weak. B. win his supervisor’s trust 58. What is the principle of the hospital in employing a worker? 59. Mr. Torres works very hard in order to ________. C. live like a normal person A. deep thinking D. complete his daily task B. weak motivation D. great independence 60. In the eyes of the writer, Alberto Torres is a man of _______. C. special talents

C. Team Up and Read Socially

How to Train Yourself to Read More

Between work, a social life, your family, television and the Internet, it can be difficult to find time to read more. Reading is important, however, for a range of reasons: It improves cognitive (认知) ability, enriches vocabulary, helps with spelling and increases general knowledge. Just having an intention to read more won’t guarantee you actually do it, though. You need a series of strategies, exploring a way to train yourself to read more.

61. ___________

You don’t need expensive training programs or software to train to read more; all you really need is a timer. Consider how much free time you have in a day, then set aside part of that time for reading. Make sure this is a feasible (可行的) goal—— start small, say, 30 minutes. Each day, use your timer and read for the amount of time you set. After a week, increase your time. The increase doesn’t have to be much, perhaps an additional 15 minutes. As weeks go by, continue adding the same small amount to your reading time. Before you know it, you’ll be reading for two or three hours per day.

62. ___________

Before you begin training to read more, take a week or two to measure how many pages you read on average per week. Once you’ve gotten an idea of your baseline reading amount, increase it slowly. Try to read at least an additional 5—10 pages per week. You’ll probably be able to sneak

these pages into your normal schedule without too much effort. You could, for example, read when you find yourself waiting or during meals if you’re alone. Or you could try turning off the television a little earlier each day. Keep track of how many pages you’ve read each week so you can see your progress.

63.____________

Technology doesn’t have to be the enemy of the written word; in fact, you can make use of your electronic devices. Invest in an e-reader, if you can, or use a tablet to read books. This will save you having to carry around a heavy book, and because you can put multiple books on an e-reader or tablet, you’ll always have plenty to read. You can also load books onto your smart phone so that you can read when you have a few spare minutes.

64.____________

Although you might begin training to read more with excitement or enthusiasm, these can quickly disappear if you don’t devise a method of rewarding or motivating yourself. These rewards don’t have to be large or expensive. You could reward yourself with something, such as chocolate or a small gift, each time you hit a reading goal, whether this is number of pages or amount of reading time.

Reading is mainly an individual activity, but there are social sides you can tap into to keep you motivated to read more. Join a local book club, and if your library or town doesn’t have one, start your own. Share with other book lovers or learn more about your favorite books by joining sites such as Goodreads, PaperBack Swap or BookLamp, if you decide to participate in websites for book enthusiasts. However, be sure that your reading time isn’t eaten up by surfing the Internet.

Possible Version:

disadvantages.

First of all, some of online readings are free of charge. Secondly, it is easy to find what you want to read just by typing out key words. What's more, e-readings don't use natural resources. But e-books do have their disadvantages. For example, they hurt your eyes if you read too long. What's more, you have to have a computer and other equipment. What makes matters worse, you can't make notes on pages.

Quite opposed to e-reading, traditional reading won't hurt your eyes. You can make notes just on pages. Besides that, you can keep your books as long as forever. But it costs you money to buy

them. And making paper for books wastes natural resources.

In my opinion, history makes everything. In ancient times, the Chinese people used bamboo books. Maybe in the future, we will never have paper books. E-books will be just as convenient.
