關於銷售的英語閱讀理解

① 求一篇英語閱讀理解，開頭是My father,a sales trainer,tried to teach me the importance of hard work

I believe in leaving work at five o』clock. In a nation that operates on a staunch Protestant work ethic, this belief could be considered radical. Working only 40 hours a week? I just don』t know many people who punch out at five o』clock anymore. It seems downright quaint, like pocket watches and shoe shines. My father tried to teach me the importance of hard work, long hours and dedication to a career. But then there are the things he taught me unintentionally, like when he arrived home from work for the last time and crawled up the stairs. My father, a self-employed sales trainer, was that sick, that tired. His body was wracked with liver cancer, and he suffered the effects of a diabetic ulcer. Still, he insisted on traveling to honor his commitment to give a seminar. He probably earned a lot of money that day, and he paid the price: He returned to the hospital soon after and was dead within three months, at age 58.
我的信念是在五點結束每天的工作。 在這個奉行新教徒那套「工作至上」理念的國度，我的這一信念可算是激進。每周只工作40小時？我認識的人中很少是下午五點打卡下班的。那看起來就跟懷表、鞋油這類東西一樣，簡直是過時而怪異。我父親盡力教導我勤奮工作、超時工作以及獻身事業這幾點的重要性。但後來，他也無意中教了我一些東西，比如那次當他最後一次下班回家爬上樓梯的時候。 我父親是一名自雇的銷售培訓師。那天，他已經病得很厲害，疲憊不堪。肝癌拖垮了他的身體，他還飽受糖尿病潰瘍的折磨。然而，他為履行承諾仍堅持到外地主持一個研討會。他那天可能賺了不少錢，但他也付出了代價——不久之後又住進了醫院，而且三個月後就去世了，終年58歲。
It』s been 10 years since I saw my father come home that night and since then, I』ve thought a lot about work. I』ve decided something: I will never crawl up the stairs. As much as I love my job as a newspaper reporter, I will never work myself into the ground, literally or figuratively. The idea of leaving work at work didn』t come easily to me. After all, I am my father』s daughter. In college, I wasn』t going to keg parties in a frat basement; I was the girl who lingered on the library steps each morning, waiting for the doors to open. I even dreamt about schoolwork.
那晚看到父親回家已是十年前的事了，自那以後，我對工作作了多番思考。我決定：我決不要爬著樓梯回家。作為一名報社記者，盡管我非常熱愛我的工作，但我決不會因為拚命工作而把自己送進「墳墓」里，無論是字面義還是比喻義。 只在工作時間內工作的想法於我並非易事，畢竟，有其父必有其女。讀大學時，我不去大學生聯誼會在地下室里舉辦的啤酒狂歡派對，而是每天一早就在圖書館的階梯上徘徊，等著圖書館開門。我甚至做夢都會夢到功課作業。
My dad once told me he was unable to just gaze at a sunset; he had to be doing something as he looked at it—writing, reading, playing chess. You could say he was a success: He was a published author, an accomplished musician, fluent in German and the American Sign Language. That』s an impressive list, but here』s the thing: I want to gaze at sunsets. I don』t want to meet a deadline ring them or be writing a column at the same time, or glance at them over the top of a book. This raises the question: If I leave work at five o』 clock to watch the sunset, what are the consequences? Do I risk not reaching the top of my profession? Maybe, because honestly, knocking off after eight hours probably won』t earn me the corner office or the lucrative promotion. But hey, leaving work at five o』 clock means I eat dinner with my family. I get to hop on my bike and pedal through the streets of my hometown as the shadows lengthen and the traffic thins. And I get to take in a lot of sunsets. That』s got to be worth something.
我父親曾經告訴我，他就是沒法凝視夕陽。看著夕陽的同時他還得做些別的事——寫作、閱讀、下象棋。你可以稱他是成功人士：他是一名發表過作品的作家，一位有造詣的音樂家，能說流利的德語，能熟練運用美國手語。這一連串成就看起來挺厲害的。但問題是：我想凝視夕陽。我不想邊看夕陽邊趕在最後期限前完成工作，也不想邊看邊給專欄趕稿，又或者是看著書，偶爾才朝那一抹夕陽瞥上一眼。這引發了一個問題：如果我五點就下班去看夕陽，會有什麼後果？我是否就無法爬到職場最高位？也許是，因為說實話，工作八小時就下班，想搬進角落的高層辦公室或升職加薪是不太可能的。不過，嘿，五點就下班意味著我能和家人共進晚餐。我跳上單車，穿梭在家鄉的大小街道上，一切在夕陽的余暉中被拉長了影子，路上車少人稀。 從此，我看了不少夕陽美景。這肯定有其價值所在。

② 托福閱讀題里的兩個句子，求英語大神幫忙翻譯（最好帶點注釋）

1，多數廣告通過情感和間接方式去迎合觀眾的心理狀態或頭腦聯想，因此廣告對兒童的理性吸回引答力自然也是有限的。

2，近年來，名人在兒童廣告中發揮的作用與主持人銷售理念相互融合。主持人銷售就是將廣告與日常節目相互混合，使人難以分辨。

Dreams
"Dreams (夢 ) may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream," some sci-entists say.
Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.
Sometimes we wake up with a good feel-ing from a dream. But often we can't re-member the dream. Dreams can disappear (消失) quickly from memory (記憶).
Too much dreaming can be harmful (有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.
1. It may be less important to sleep than to__.
A. think B. dream C. work D. study

When talking to an Indian, he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian did not like what they said. But, in fact, they would be completely wrong.

Indians always shake their heads when they talk to each other. It does not have the same meaning as “No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or it will give him some trouble.

One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and an Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again, and the driver shook his head again. At last, the officer, of course, got angry.

“How dare you refuse my order?” he shouted. “Drive me to my office at once!”

The driver answered in quite loud voice, too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.

The car started, and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, “‘No’ means ‘Yes’ here!”

A. he didn’t want to do anything

B. he agreed with others

B. Indians don’t say “No” when they don’t agree with each other

C. We shake our heads to say “No”, not “Yes” as Indians do

4. What do Indians often do when they talk?

A. Smile.

B. Shake their heads.

Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which procts and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the procts bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the"system" of prices. The price of any particular proct or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.

If one were to ask a group of randomly selected indivials to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a proct or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a proct or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the proct or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the proct or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.

價格決定資源的使用方式。價格也是有限的產品與服務在買方中的配給手段。美國的價格系統是復雜的網狀系統，包括經濟生活中一切產品買賣的價格，也包括名目繁多的各種服務，諸如勞動力、專職人員、交通運輸、公共事業等服務的價格。所有這些價格的內在聯系構成了價格系統。任何一種個別產品或服務的價格都與這個龐大而復雜的系統密切相關，而且或多或少地受到系統中其它成份的制約。

如果隨機挑選一群人，問問他們如何定義"價格"，許多人會回答價格就是根據賣方提供的產品或服務，買方向其付出的錢數。換句話說，價格就是市場交易中大家認同的產品或服務的貨幣量。該定義就其本身來說自有其道理。但要獲得對價格在任何一樁交易中的完整認識，就必須考慮到大量"非貨幣"因素的影響。買賣雙方不但要清楚交易中的錢數，而且要非常熟悉交易物的質量和數量，交易的時間、地點，採用哪種形式付款，有怎樣的'緩付和優惠，對交易物的質量保證、交貨條款、退賠權利等等。也就是說，為了能估算索價，買賣雙方必須通曉構成交易物價格的通盤細節。

Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel instry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the proct and in part from his policy of expanding ring periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were recing their investments.

Carnegie believed that indivials should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide ecational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced, " he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

被稱作鋼鐵大王的安德魯·卡內基在美國建立了鋼鐵工業。在這個過程中，他變成了美國最富有的人之一。 他的成功，部分來自於他銷售產品的能力，部分來自於經濟蕭條時期的擴充策略。在蕭條時期，他的多數對手都在縮減投資。

卡內基認為個人應該通過努力工作來獲得進展，但他也強烈地感到有錢人應該運用他們的財富來為社會謀 取福利。他反對施捨救濟，更願意提供教育機會，使別人自立。卡內基經常說："富有著死去的人死得可恥。"他對社會的較重要的貢獻都以他的名字命名。這些貢獻包括匹茲堡卡內基學校。這個學校有一個圖書館，一個美術館和一個國家歷史博物館;他還創立了一所技術學校，這所學校現在是卡內基梅隆大學的一部分;其他的慈善捐贈有為促進國家間了解的"卡內基國際和平基金"，為科學研究提供經費的華盛頓卡內基學院以及給各種藝術活動提供活動中心的卡內基音樂廳。

安德魯·卡內基的慷慨大度幾乎影響到每個美國人的生活。由於他超過五百萬美元的捐款，2500 個圖書館得以建立起來，遍布在美國各地的小村鎮，形成了我們今天還在享用的公共圖書館系統的核心。

Jogging has become the most popular indivial sport in America. Many theories, even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.

The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically, as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power s in football, but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can rece heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.

Only one sort of equipment is needed a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe in dispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible. A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heelcup that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent bilisters and the foot, ankle and knee injures and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.

Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not forced, to 「leave the nest」 and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married, Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young alts meet their future spouses through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions, Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.

In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father』s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father』s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and independence.

子女一旦到適當年齡(通常是18至21歲)，要鼓勵而不是強迫他們「離開窩的，財政的巢」，開始獨立生活。小孩離開家後，往往在外能夠與人交往，並自謀出路。父母不為子女安排婚姻，子女結婚也通常無需獲得父母同意。在美國，浪漫的愛情往往是婚姻的基礎，通過朋友在學校、單位、組織以及宗教團體認識自己的，愛情的未來的伴侶。盡管子女自己擇偶，他們仍然希望父母能認同他們的選擇。

許多家庭的父母認為，應由子女自己來做他們生活中的重大決定。家長可能會設法影響子女去從事某一職業，但子女也有選擇其它職業的自由。有時為了證實自己的獨立性，子女從事的工作正好與父母希望的相反。兒子可能執意不去父親的企業工作，因為擔心在那裡就不能獨立自主。這種不依靠父母的獨立性並不意味著父母與子女之間缺乏愛心。父母和子女之間普遍都有摯愛，美國家庭也毫不例外。只不過在美國家庭之中，還融合了自主、獨立的文化價值觀念。

A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm-two entirely different movements.

Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner』s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.

This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conctors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sound with fanatical but selfless authority.

Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.

Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also fide that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.

But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head to tail his little body wags his happiness. Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house.

One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure enough, he was!

He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. Where was she?

The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face.

Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!

The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.

A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.

The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home ── alone.

The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.

The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another. How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!

There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.

I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.

After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the azalea bushes strewn around the orphanage.

I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after the other, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.

When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin. Finally it's wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just quivered.

I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on it's wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back. But it would not stay on him.

The next thing I knew the house parent came walking back out of the back door by the garbage room and started yelling at me. I told him that I did not do anything but he did not believe me. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the top of the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left.

I sat there in the dirt, by that big old tree, for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard to do. So I prayed for them and then I put them in an old torn up shoe box and I buried them in the bottom of the fort that I had built in the ground, out by the large bamboos, near the blackberry bushes.

Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

For many people in the U.S., sports are not just for fun. Theyre almost a religion. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person.

Other fans watch the games at home, glued to their TV sets. Americas devotion to athletics has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and even toiletries.

對許多的美國人而言，運動不只是為了好玩。它幾乎成了一種宗教崇拜，數以千計的運動迷會為了能親眼目睹他們喜愛的球隊或運動員比賽而出高價購買門票。

其它的球迷則守在家裡寸步不離地收看電視轉播。美國人對於運動的投入形成了一個新的富有階級：職業運動員。運動明星通常會收到上百萬元的薪水。其中有些人甚至是因為替飲料、鞋，甚至個人化妝用品拍廣告而賺了一大筆錢。

Not all Americans worship sports, but athletics are an important part of their culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. All students take physical ecation classes in school.

Many people also enjoy non-competitive activities like hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping or hunting. To communicate with American sports nuts, it helps if you can talk sports.

並非所有的美國人都崇拜運動，但運動的確是他們文化當中極為重要的一部份。在他們的學校生活當中，美國人學習許多運動。所有的學生都必須在學校修體育課。

許多人也喜歡從事一些非競爭性的活動像健行、騎單車、騎馬、露營或打獵。要和美國運動迷溝通，最好是能暢談運動。

Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several generations, the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against mans wasteful use of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.

Ever since man appeared on the earth, mans survival has been heavily relied on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink, to the wood which is turned into furiture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate. However, natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the later generations would end up selling sand, as is the case in the cartoon, and the whole world would be in a mess.

Time is running out. It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.

Directions:

Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the future of reading.

For questions 61-65, match the name of each person (61-65) to one of the statements (A-G)given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.

Paul:

I think books will be more affordable. They are pretty expensive. Publishers are so silly be-cause they focus on "We're not going to be selling so many hardcover books at $26. " But you're going to sell infinitely more electronically, so what are you complaining about? I view it as a grea-ter opportunity. My e-reader is great because I travel, and I don't want to carry a billion things with me.

David:

I don't own an e-reader, and I've never read a page on an e-reader. I do everything I can to avoid more screen time. Not to play down the value of a physical book, when it comes to somebody investing in one, it's something you want to keep. You have to give readers a choice, between a ric- her experience with physical books, and a more lifeless experience through an electronic reader.

James:

The new immigrants don't shoot the old inhabitants when they come in. One technology tends to supplement rather than substitute. How you read is not as important as: Will you read? Will you read something that's a book-the sustained train of thought of one person speaking to another?

Search techniques are embedded in e-books that invite people to dip into something rather than follow a full train of thought.

Alex:

We've maintained in the last few years there will be fewer bookstores. We have the best busi-ness model in the world. Books are still a majority of what we sell in stores, but they are becoming less and less. About 50 percent of physical books are sold in non-bookstore outlets, like drugstores and club stores. There are people with agendas in this instry, but the physical book is going no- where.

William:

E-readers take out the paper middleman and give me what I want from books: the words. My e-reader has allowed me to read more than ever. When I travel I can take five books with me all without cutting down a single tree or using any extra jet fuel. Books made of paper can be beautiful, but they are never as beautiful as the words in the best of them.

Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

下面這段文字是關於5個人對於未來閱讀方式的不同觀點。

保羅：

我認為書的價格太貴了，應該更便宜。出版商愚蠢地將重點放在“我們不會以26美元的價格出售精裝書”，但是他們出售更多的電子書，所以有什麼好抱怨的呢?我認為這是一個很好的機會。我的電子閱覽器很棒，因為我旅遊時不想帶很多東西。

大衛：

我沒有電子閱覽器，也從沒在電子閱覽器上看過書，我盡量避免使用電子屏幕。不是要貶低紙質書的價值，當一個人購買一本紙質書的時候，他是想要收藏。閱讀一本豐富多彩的紙質書還是閱讀毫無生氣的電子書，應該要讓讀者自己選擇。

詹姆士：

就像新來的移民者不會射殺當地居民一樣，新科技的發明是一種補充而不是替代。你讀書的方式遠沒有以下幾點重要：你會讀書嗎?你讀的.書是作者思想對讀者進行的一種傾訴嗎?電子書所具備的搜索技術能使人們更深入地去閱讀而不是盲目跟隨某一種思想。

艾利克斯：

在過去幾年裡，我們一直認為書店會越來越少。我們有世界上最好的銷售模式。書籍仍是商店出售的主要產品，但是他們的銷量越來越少。大約50%的紙質書都是在非書店(如葯店、俱樂部)的打折活動中賣出的。這個產業中人們有自己的El程安排，但是紙質書卻無路可走了。

威廉：

電子閱覽器沒有了中間商，給我的是我想從書里看到的文字。我的電子閱讀器能讓我讀到更多的內容。當我旅行的時候我可以帶5本書，不會多砍一棵樹也不會增加飛機燃油消耗。紙質書是很美麗，但是不會比書裡面的文字更美麗。

61.E【精析】主旨題。保羅認為出版商出售電子書是一個很好的機會，會給他們帶來利潤，與E項“電子閱讀會給出版商帶來更多的好處而不是壞處”相符，故選E。

62.A【精析】主旨題。大衛認為人們應該自己選擇想要看書的方式，他更傾向於紙質書，與A項表示相同的意思，故選A。

63.D【精析】主旨題。詹姆士認為電子書的作用是補充讀書方式，而不是替代紙質書，重要的不是如何讀書，而是讀得怎麼樣，與D項“重要的不是如何讀書，而是讀得怎麼樣”意思相符，故選D。

64.C【精析】主旨題。艾利克斯認為紙質書雖然是商店出售的主要產品，但是銷量在逐年下降，這與C項的“紙質書的市場在萎縮”意思相同，故選C。

65.B【精析】主旨題。威廉認為電子書不會消耗資源並且不會增加飛機燃油消耗，這與8項“電子書非常環保”意思相同，故選B。
