b. a tourist agency c. the post office d. the museumbfor many of us, printed books are satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. billions of printed books have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was invented, so why mess with a good things?sony electronics is doing just that, betting that readers will be won over by the convenience of readability of its new electronic book devices. sonys reader, the prs-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory, enough to line the shelves on a good-sized wall in the average american home. the $299 device is about the size of a paperback book, but a half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound. the sony book reader is revolutionary not only in its storage capacity. the font (字体) is highly readable and adjustable by size. unlike laptop computers, you can put the sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. and you can connect it to your pc to download books.surprisingly, though the reader has liberated the book from paper, electronic books arent always a bargain. for example, david baldaccis stone cold download retails（零售） for $15.19 at the sony site, while amazon（卓越网） will deliver a hard copy to your mailbox for $16.19. the sony reader also lets you store and play or display music. so whats not to like about the sony? well, for many bibliophiles, a lot. book lovers like to have, hold and keep their volumes, which dont need charging. you can write notes in the margins, and enjoy the ambience they provide on your book shelves.the need for electronic reading devices is likely to grow as more people worried about the billions of tons of paper used for printed material. many believe the time will come when devices like the sony reader are as common as printed newspapers and magazines today. 61. what would be the best title for the passage?a. the age of the electronic book reader is coming b. printed books are out of datec. the sony reader meets many readers needs d. the revolution in book readers62. according to the passage, the sony book reader _.a. is as light as a laptop computerb. can hold more than 200 booksc. is convenient to carry aroundd. cannot be connected to a pc63. what is the authors point when he mentions “stone cold”?a. amazons printed books are very cheapb. “stone cold” can be got from the sony site and amazonc. the sony book reader is not very cheap to used. the sony book reader can benefit its buyers a lot64. the underlined word “bibliophiles” in paragraph 5 refers to “_”.a. music lovers b. book lovers c. electronic reading devicesd. sony readers65. according to the author, whats the future for the electronic reading devices?a. theyll replace printed newspapers and magazinesb. theyll still be more expensive than printed newspapersc. theyll become a must in peoples daily lifed. theyll become more popular as time goes on cbrrriiinnng. the alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. you jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. a stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. in that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?the way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking. imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when were unfocused. if you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. sleepy peoples lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. by not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, youre missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.the trip you take to work doesnt help, either. the stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons (神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur. and while we all should read a lot about whats going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the days work is done.so what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? wed set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. wed stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. wed take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. and once in the officeafter we get a cup of coffeewed click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer. 66. what is the purpose of the first paragraph? a. to tell us a specific story.b. to introduce the topic of the passage. c. to indicate how busy one usually is in the morning. d. to show mornings are not suitable for creative work
