As a reader , I , as many other book lovers do , often leave with a long sigh (叹息) after visiting a bookstore . The prices 36 on book covers keep reminding me how 37 my wallet is .
The price of books is now so high that I 38 before buying a book I love . Many people feel the same 39 . But I remember that only a few years ago, when I was a college student , I bought several books almost every month , using what was left out of the 40 expenses (费用) sent by my parents .
But now 41 I am working and the money I earn is only used to 42 my own expenses , I find I can’t 43 many good books .
There is a 44 , “Book lovers have no money , but rich people have no feelings for books.” This is exactly the 45 . Sometimes I wonder about who the books are published
46 , especially those books with beautiful 47 covers.
It is said that usually , the listed price is more than twice as much as the book’s cost and we can see high 48 from selling books .But now there is a contradiction (矛盾). On one hand , readers who want to buy books aren’t able to , 49 on the other hand , publishers and sellers 50 from the large stockpiles of unsold books being stored in their warehouses . The situation is also a/an 51 to intellectual property right （知识产权）protection because many books of bestsellers are sold at a lower price at some books stands .
The key to solving the problem is to 52 the price to a/an 53 level to both sellers and consumers .

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
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.
A
Cellular phones with camera are a popular way to capture a moment in time. A Texas school district had worried that students found another use － capturing tests as a way to cheat.
The Magnolia Independent School District in Montgomery County has added camera phones to a list of electronic devices(电子设备) students are banned from having at school. The ban was added during a review of the 2004－2005 Student Handbook. School officials said the move was made as a preventative measure to stop potential test cheaters, since students could use the phones to snap pictures of test questions. Another concern was that students might take inappropriate of classmates to share or post on a Web site.
Cellular phones without camera are allowed on campus, but must be turned off. Camera cell phones will be confiscated(没收) if found on campus, and disciplinary(惩戒性的) action will be taken, officials said. Some students were disheartened to hear about the ban. “I’d be lost without my phone,”said Kendall Paul, a Magnolia High School student. “All my numbers are in it, I’ve never used it to cheat and I don’t know anyone who has at our school, so I think it’s a kind of stupid.”
But other students said they saw it all the time at their school. “You would take a picture of (the test)and then you would just scroll down and take another picture of it and then scroll down and take another picture and you would send all three pages to the next person taking the next person taking the text,”said Melissa Sparks, a student.“They would text (send) the question and the answer, or just the number of the question and the answer, It’s quicker that way,”another student said.
Parents often provide their children with cell phones for use in emergencies and to keep better track of them. “My mom wants me to give my phone with me at all times, for emergency purposes. So, it goes with me wherever I go,”Paul said .

There are many people who could be Olympic Champions, all Americans who have never tried. I’d estimate(估计) that five million people could have beaten me in the pole vault(撑杆跳高) on the years I won it, at least five million. Men who were stronger, bigger, and faster than I could have done it, but they never picked up a pole , never made the efforts to vault their legs off the ground to try to get over the bar.
Greatness is all around us. It’s easy to be great because great people will help you. What fantastic about all the conventions(大会) I went to was that the greatest in the business would come and share their ideas ,their methods and their techniques with everyone else . I have seen the greatest salesmen opening up and showing young salesmen exactly how they did it. They didn’t hold back. I have also found it true in the world of sports.
I’ll never forget the time I was trying to break Dutch Warmer Dam’s record. I was about a foot below his record, so I called on the phone. I said, “Dutch ,can you help me? I seem to have leveled off. I can’t get any higher.”
He said,“Sure, Bob, come on up to visit me and I’ll give you all I got.”I spent days with the master, the greatest pole–vaulter in the world. For three days, Dutch gave me everything that he’d seen. There were things that I was doing wring and he corrected them. To make a long story short, I went up eight inches. That great guy gave me the best that he had.
Great people will share. Great people will tell you their secrets. Look for them, call them on the phone or buy their books. Go where they are, get around them, and talk to them. It is easy to be great when you get around great people.

It was a great hit. Yet for Peek － the real-life“savant”on whom Dustin Hoffman’s character in the film Rain Man is based － such recall only gives a glimpse of his powers. He knows 9,000 books off by heart; he can direct people around US cities from maps he has memorized years ago; and he has total recall of the dates of all major world events.
Now studies of Peek’s abilities are being used by scientists to shed light on the human mind, and to open the way for men and women to exploit far more of their intellectual potential, as the latest issue of Scientific American reveals.
“Kin’s story tells us that the human brain is far more flexible(灵活的) than we had thought,”said Darold Treffert, a psychiatrist of the Scientific American Paper told The Observer.
“Like many other savants, he has suffered disability in one area of his brain, but ahs been rewarded by acquiring remarkable new abilities in other areas. This shows we all have considerable hidden intellectual potential. By studying Kim and other savants, we can learn how to tap those powers.”
Kim , now 54 , was born with a malformed cerebellum(畸形的小脑), and at the base of his brain, lacks a corpus callosum(数据储存区), the thick bundle of nerves that normally connects the brain’s two hemispheres. In 1988 he was given an IQ rating of 87, well below the average.
Kin has poor physical condition, cannot button his shirts but has remarkable memory power and has started to develop as
