Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of the physical book(纸质书) was coming to an end. The objects that had been the companions(伙伴) of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to die out. Soon, we’d all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called “libraries” and “bookshops”.

But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books. At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of paper books are rising. More surprisingly, it’s young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was: “I like to hold the product.”

Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. Many buyers of books like to write down their name on the inside cover when they've bought one. And we carry books around with us everywhere.

If there’s a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesn’t matter. These accidents make the book – our book – even more personal. It’s as if readers of physical books make friends with them.

Of course, some could say that the devices on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isn't quite the same. A Kindle, can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever. Physical books are as valuable to some readers as items of jewelry or photographs of family members.

This “friendship” people develop with books isn’t just about feelings. Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.

However, there’s no doubt e-books are here to stay. They aren’t simply a “here today, gone tomorrow” thing. But it’s also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.

1.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Physical books will soon no longer be made.

B. Sales of e-books and print books are both rising．

C. Lovers of physical books are mostly old people.

D. Physical books are making a comeback in the UK.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of physical books?

A. Readers can form a very close relationship with their books.

B. Physical books may carry readers’ valuable memories.

C. Readers get more information from physical books than e-books.

D. It is easier for readers to make notes on physical books.

3.Why did the author write this article?

A. To explain why physical books will not disappear soon.

B. To describe different reading tastes in the UK.

C. To explain what makes physical books personal.

D. To recommend that readers read more physical books.

This year has been a busy year of travelling for me, and the end of the year is no exception. I booked an early morning flight so I had to get up at 4:30 am to get to the airport. The thought of such an early flight made me not very happy, but then I started to think about the people who would make that early journey possible for me: my taxi driver, check-in agent, security staff, gate agents, flight crew, etc. They all do their jobs at an early hour so I can get to my destination safely, often for very little money.

When that trip came, I realized I had a choice: I could be angry about having to take an early flight, finally showing my anger to everyone I see. Or I could choose to be grateful to this modern machine of safe air travel and the people who made it possible. Just thinking about the latter choice got my mind working about how I could show my thanks, and I decided to do a little “experiment”: what if I got a little gift for every worker I met my journey? How many gifts would I end up giving out?

Then I started to think about what kind of gift would be good for such an experiment.

The payback from this experiment started immediately. For the first time in years I actually looked forward to getting up at 4:30 am! I ended up giving a gift cards to my taxi driver, airport security agent, two gate agents, and four fight attendants, and all of them said thank you and smiled sweetly. And, instead of arriving tired and sad after four hours of sleep and a long flight, I was excited and happy to share my story.

Change your attitudes( 态度)and choose to do something good for others can help yourself feel good, too.

1.At first, the writer felt　 　　 when she thought of getting up so early.

A.worried B.unhappy C.excited D.nervous

2.What is "payback" of the writer's experiment?

A.She spent some money on some postcards.

B.She showed thanks to the people around.

C.She felt great towards the coming travelling.

D.She got lots of presents from the other people.

3.What's the passage mainly about?

A.The reasons why the writer don't like travelling early in the morning.

B.How the writer's attitudes towards her travelling changed.

C.Why we should be thankful for others help.

D.The writer's most wonderful travelling experience.
