    　　Net Library Is a library that lends out digital books．It treats a digital like a paperback copy．It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income．

    　　From the consumer's point of view, this means that if more than, say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title can't be found．

    　　It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced．More than 350 gave the company rights to hand out their digital works and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company．The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service．

    　　Some librarians criticize the New Library model．Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital woks; which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet．

    　　Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by E-Brary．E-Brary is starting a service mat lets us users read books for free．

    　　But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer．

    　　Christopher Warnock, chief executive of E-Brary, believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them．

    　　“There's not really a lot of good m owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it．It doesn't make sense．”he said．

    (1)

    How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

    [　　]

    A．

    They get money from selling their books to the Net Library．

    B．

    They share the money with the Net Library．

    C．

    They get money by cutting the cost of the books．

    D．

    They get the money from the readers．

    (2)

    The underlined word“embraced”in the 3rd paragraph means ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    taken something willingly

    B．

    held something tightly

    C．

    disliked something badly

    D．

    tried out something hard

    (3)

    From the 2nd paragraph we can see consumers ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    don't care if they are charged money

    B．

    enjoy the service of the Net Library

    C．

    don't like other people borrowing books

    D．

    complain about the limited number of the new books

    (4)

    What does the last paragraph mean?

    [　　]

    A．

    Net Library is not a good way for the consumers．

    B．

    There is no need for consumers to have a whole book．

    C．

    D．

    　　Traveling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break－a week long school vacation in the United States．But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry．Here are some useful suggestions．

    　　●Save：This probably is the most important preparation for traveling．Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there．

    　　●Plan ahead：Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip．Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice．Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全)and savings．

    　　●Do your homework：No matter where you go, research the places you will visit．Decide what to see．Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants．

    　　●Plan sensibly：Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels．Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything．

    　　●Travel in groups：Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places．By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences．

    　　●Work as you go：Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit．

    　　●Go off the beaten path：Tourist cities may be expensive．You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area．Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights．

    　　●Pack necessary things：The most important things to take are not always clothes：Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant．

    　　●Use the Internet：The Net can help to save money．Some useful websites include www．Travelocity．com, www．bargains-lowest fare．com and www．Economic travel．com．

    　　By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel．Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime．

    　　Here's a complete look at the best and worst jobs．And, take a look at the most stressful jobs．You may be surprised．
