Ten years ago, many thought that the age of the physical book was coming to an end. The books that had been with readers for hundreds of years were about to 41 . Soon, we’d all be
reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called “ 42 ” and
“bookshops”.
But it seems that the belief above is not the case. At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of physical books are 43 . More surprisingly, it’s 44 people who are buying the
most physics books. More than 60 percent of 16-to -24-year-olds 45 print books to e-books.
The most popular 46 given is: “I like to hold the product.”
Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. If often starts with the 47 they
get them. Many buyers of books like to sign their name on the inside cover when they’ve bought one. And we 48 books around with us everywhere.
If the cover gets 49 or there’s a stain(污点) made on the pages from coffee or food, all the better. These accidents make the books ours. It’s 50 readers of physical books make friends
with them.
Of course, some could say we become fond of the popular devices, like Kindles and iPads. But it isn’t quite the same. A kindle can 51 as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a
story that we read in our favorite armchair on rainy Sunday afternoon enters our memory 52 .
This “friendship” people 53 with books isn’t just emotional. Research has also shown that
readers remember more information from physical books than from electronic ones.
However, there’s no 54 that e-books are here to stay. They aren’t simply a “here today,
gone tomorrow” phenomena. But it’s also 55 that physical books, which have been in
production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.
41. A. brining in B. fill in C. die out D. come out

46. A. reason B. result C. excuse D. fact
47. A. means B. way C. method D. approach
48. A. bring B. show C. fetch D. carry
49. A. hurt B. injured C. damaged D. destroyed
50. A. unless B. as if C. though D. in case

A
After almost an entire year of saving from shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heat’s desire. Now the most important question comes what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, or keep saving it for a
rainy day?
Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its uncertainty. One may be on a winning situation now, but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain, and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days, they say. Do not spend too much, live within a budget, stay away from credit no matter how small and save for the future. Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earn our first salary, the lessons start.
In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children starts the process of learning how to best manage one’s manage one’s money. Future, future, future, that’s all they talk about, but what about the present? What about our current desires, wants and needs? Wasn’t our present once our future?
One day when I have enough money, I will buy myself a car. One day my luck will shine. One day I will have enough money to travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money from saving, tomorrow’s plans start shadowing our present ones.
However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s? What will be the use of those professional cameras when pains take over our joints and our mind grows dull? Will our liver be able too handle the meat and alcohol in our advanced age? What if our life ends suddenly? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?
I say enjoy the most comfort but also keep enough for your necessities, and stay happy with your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future. Beyond that, life is not in our control and we shouldn’t worry about the unseen. Life is for the living, so live it wisely.
56. The underlined “a rainy day” in the first paragraph has the same meaning as .
A. the background of the story is set on a rainy day
B. driving fast on a rainy day may lead to accidents
C. it is crazy of him to suggest a picnic on such a rainy day
D. he always puts aside his pocket money for a rainy day
57. The questions in the fifth paragraph suggest that
A. the author insists that w should live for the future
B. the author doubts the meaning of living in the world
C. the author believes that enjoying our present is very important
D. the author is not sure whether we should save money or spend it
58. The statement that the author may agree with is that
A. we should live happily regardless of others’ words
B. we should care more about future and shouldn’t just live today
C. we should live happily at present and be prepared for the future
D. we must save lots of money for unexpected accidents
B
Your best friends may just be your worst enemies, especially when it comes to young women checking out images of their friends on social media sites.
This is according to a recent study carried out by researchers at the Center for Emotional Health at Macquarie University, Australia. The study found that young women are much more likely to be affected by images of their friends on social media than those of celebrities(名人)in traditional media.
A hundred and fifty female undergraduate students were questioned in five daily surveys over a five-day period. The students were asked questions such as whether they had compared their appearance with someone were asked questions such as whether they had compared their appearance with someone else’s, and whether they made that comparison after looking at social media, traditional media or in person.
Results showed that young women are more likely to compare their appearance with that of their peers’(同龄人的)images on social media than those of models’ or movie stars’ in traditional media. Most students thought others looked better than them on social media. This led some to diet and exercise, although the majority of those who did were not overweight and didn’t need to do so.
The negative effect images of skinny models in mass media has on young women is a well-known source of concern throughout the world, but social media appear t make things
worse.
Jasmine Fardouly, lead researcher in the study, explained why social media might be more damaging than traditional media.
“Celebrities may seem more distant and their appearance may have less influence than people you work with or see regularly,” she told The Guardian.
In Fardouly’s opinion, people could unfollow or avoid those who post highly improved images of themselves. This may reduce how often people think others look more attractive than them on social media.
But more critical (批判的)thinking may also do the trick. “When surfing social media, it may
be helpful for people to stop and think about the motivation behind each post and question how realistic each image is,” Fardouly wrote on news site The Conversation.
59. “Your best friends may just be your worst enemies”, because .
A. your friends might hurt you badly when you become their enemy
B. you feel unhappy because your friends look more attractive than you in person
C. your friends beat you in appearance when you compare their images on soci
