E-book is short for electronic( 电子的) book. It is usually read on personal
computers. Some mobile phones can also be used to read e-books.
Earlier e-books were written for a specific(专业） group of readers and were about only a few subjects. With the development of the Internet, knowledge and answers to a lot of questions mainly come from e-books. This is why the e-book business is increasing quickly.
E-books have many advantages. First, they save time. We don’t need to go to a bookstore to buy books, besides, we can find the topic we want to know about on the Internet, and then we can quickly get many e-books on similar topics. Second, e-books save money. Some e-books cost a little money, and there are millions of e-books on the Internet that we can get for free. Third, more trees are saved because e-books don’t need to be printed(印刷) on paper. Fourth, e-books make reading more convenient. You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you in a small computer or any e-book reader (电子阅读器) without worrying about their weight.
But e-books have certain disadvantages. They need a personal computer or an e-book reader and the information can be lost if its file format (文件格式) is not supported （支持）or changed in the reader’s computer.
However, e-books provide us with a new way of reading. That is good.
59. Why is the e-book business increasing quickly? Because _________.
A. earlier e-books are about only a few subjects.
B. people don’t like to read any paper books any more.

Good morning. I’m Chen Hua. Here’s my culture report for today, Monday.
A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o’clock. The film is Pirates of the Carribean. It’s a fantastic adventure film. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars. They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable.
