【题目】A Brief History Of Waterstone’s
Waterstone’s is the largest bookstore chain in the UK and Ireland, with 296 stores and 4500 employees, but its market share has recently declined and sales have been poor. The book market suffered during the economy declines and the emergence of new e-readers, such as the Amazon Kindle, was pulling more customers away from the high street. A&NN will pay for Waterstone’s in two parts, one of 40million and one of 13million.The deal will only complete if HMV can renegotiate its bank facilities, though HMV says the banks are supportive of the sale. Pension trustees and the pensions regulator also have to approve. HMV chief executive Simon Fox said A&NN would be a good home for Waterstone’s, while the sale will reduce borrowings and enable HMV to focus on plans for transforming the business into a broad-based entertainment business. A&NN will appoint James Daunt as managing director of Waterstone’s once the deal completes. Mr. Daunt currently runs Daunt Books, a small chain of London-based bookshops he founded in 1990.

Waterstone’s founder Tim Waterstone opened his first store in 1982 at a time when fellow book-lovers were presented with few options on the high street. The top bookseller was WH Smith, Mr. Waterstone’s former employer of eight years before he was dismissed, which he felt was failing to go into a broad market of literature fans. The first store was opened in Old Brompton Road, and the former banker’s intuition was correct as the chain went from strength to strength. Mr. Waterstone, who has written four novels, saw a recovery in the market driven by demand for the works of a new wave of literary stars including Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, John Banville and Martin Amis. Having founded the firm with his 6,000, Mr. Waterstone sold the chain to his former employer WH Smith in 1993 for 47million. |

A pen has always been a(n) 【1】 tool when it comes to taking exams. However, in this digital age, this traditional tool may become a thing of the past.

Tracy Trussell, a handwriting expert at the British Institute of Graphologists, 【7】 Cambridge to " make sure that students continue to write by hand, particularly in lectures". She told The Telegraph that writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand lessons better.
Meanwhile, there are also concerns that primary and secondary schools could follow Cambridge's example

Senior officials at the university believed it was 【8】 to expect students to use pens and paper during exams when most of their coursework was done using computers.

He believes that the rise of mobile Internet 【9】 means that we live in an age in which we don’t need to memorize anything Students should be tested on their creative and 【10】 skills, rather than the ability to remember information, he said during the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit in September.
