1.Editor Henry Slocum,
For me,with great interest,I am very glad to read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books,or e-books.You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books.You may have overlooked,however,some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books.Yes,e-books are expensive,but they are also convenient.In addition,due to their environment-friendly nature,e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better.
E-books,for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term,are about the same size and shape as regular books.They have a large screen in the middle,however.This screen shows the reader a  page of text that has been downloaded from a computer.Once the reader has finished reading the  page on the e-book screen.he or she scrolls down to see a new page.The process continues until the entire book has been read.
As you pointed out.Mr.Slocum,it's great to lie on a warm,sandy beach with a book.You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book.In fact,because e-books are so light,you can carry them anywhere.Say,for example,that you like to read on the bus.Which would you rather carry with you-a heavy 800-page novel,or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces(盎司)?
Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well.They are more environmentfriendly than traditional books.At present,thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper.Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the Dublisher and destroyed.This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books,which require no paper.
Sincerely,
David Eng

13.With the summer holiday just around the corner,it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations.Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts.During the peak season,the hotel and flight prices increase quickly,and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists.(36)D
(37)A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms.Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding.Stay with the locals.If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period,renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new?(38)EDuring your family trip,try new food where the locals eat.This will not just save money,but also provide you with a new and different experience.For smaller meals and snacks,avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don't hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything.Clothes,travel goodies,souvenirs,etc.a(chǎn)re very expensive at these places.(39)F Bargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
(40)G Instead,take buses,railways or subways,which are always cheaper.If you are planning to stay for a while,you can consider renting a car.Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.

A.Save on hotels.
B.Surf the Internet while traveling.
C.Therefore,avoid buying anything there.
D.So it's best to find out when the off-season starts.
E.Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.
F.For this reason,you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains.
G.As a tourist,avoid taking taxis whenever possible,since they are expensive.

10.Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem,if you're unsatisfied,the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires-not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力)to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹沒(méi))with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much.They live in too big a house with too many rooms,yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅),a royal palace.Every new taste,every additional interest,every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them,they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life.No matter who you are,you would be more human,and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days,if you could,and did,play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,he secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
59.The author intends to tell us thatC.
A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
B.big houses are people's most valued possessions
C.true happiness comes from spiritual riches
D.big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
60.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies thatA.
A.however materially rich,they remain spiritually poor
B.however materially rich,they never seem to be satisfied
C.though their house is big,they prefer a simple life
D.though their house is big,it seems to be a cage
61.It can be learned from the passage thatB.
A.more money brings more happiness    
B.literature can enrich your spiritual life
C.a(chǎn)rt is needed to make your house beautiful
D.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
62.What would be the best title for the passage?D
A.Interest and Enthusiasm                     
B.Secret of Wealth 
C.Rest and Refreshment                        
D.House of Life.
