One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town claiming(宣稱(chēng)) that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole country. A large crowd gathered，and they all agreed that his heart was because there was not a single scar(疤痕) in it. The young man was very proud.

It had places pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn’t fit quite right, and there were several edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gaps(缺口) where whole pieces were missing.

The young man laughed. “ your heart with mine, anyone with his eyes can see mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars.”

“Yes,” said the old man, “Yours looks perfect but I never trade with you. You see, every represents a person I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they _ me a piece of their heart that fits into the _ place in my heart.

Tears running his cheeks, the young man walked up to the old man, his own perfect heart, and tore out a piece. He it to the old man with trembling hands.

This might not sound so extraordinary, but I didn’t just read a book in print, on an e-reader or even on a mobile phone. Instead, I read a book on dozens of devices(設(shè)備). I was not trying to set a Guinness world record. I wanted to answer a question I often hear: which e-reader or tablet（平板）is the best for reading books? So I set out to try them all, reading a chapter on each: the Amazon Kindle, the first and second generation Apple iPads and mobile phones. To be fair, I also read a chapter in that old-fashioned form — an old print paperback.

The book I chose was The Alienist. For the first chapter, I turned to an Amazon Kindle. Shopping on Amazon for the Kindle is simple; you go to Amazon’s Web site and buy the book, which is then sent to any devices with Kindle software installed(安裝). Reading on the Amazon Kindle is a joy in many aspects. The Kindle is light．Its six-inch screen is the perfect size for reading, and reading on its black and white E Ink display doesn’t harm your eyes. Battery life is outstanding; on average you charge the device only once a month. My only complaint with the Kindle design is the placement of the keyboard at the bottom of the device. Amazon’s CEO has noted during past product announcements that the keyboard is there to help people take notes or search. But to me，it seems like a waste of space.

Despite the small screen on a mobile phone, I find reading on one to be simple and satisfactory. All of the mobile phones on which I read chapters felt somewhat similar; although screen brightness and the size of the phone’s screen did vary.

If I had wanted to, I could have bought my book through dozens of e-book apps (應(yīng)用程序) in the Apple App Store. Most are free and offer access to thousands of free e-books or paid versions. But the big downside for many is that you can read them only on Apple devices. Both iPads 1＆2 offer an immersive（沉浸式）reading experience. I found myself jumping back and forth between my book and the Web, looking up old facts and pictures of New York City. I also found myself being sucked into the wormhole of the Internet and a few games of Angry Birds rather than reading my book. For the last chapters of the book, I read the paperback, which is still my favourite choice.

Since we are comparing devices so I guess I need to choose one. In the end it might come down to Kindle. But if money is tight, go for print. My used paperback cost only＄4 from Amazon.

1.If the writer were short of money, he would prefer ______.

A. a print paperback B. an Apple iPad

C. a mobile phone D. an Amazon Kindle

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements on the Amazon Kindle is NOT TRUE?

A. Its battery can last for a long time.

B. Its keyboard is kept in the proper position.

C. It is easy to carry and the screen size is proper.

D. It is comfortable for eyes because of its E Ink display.

3.A possible customer would not buy iPads 1 & 2 for reading because ______.

A. most e-book apps must be downloaded first

B. only paid-version e-books can be read on it

C. much information is lost at times when reading

D. attention is easily taken away when reading on it

4.The passage is developed in the form of ______.

You hear the comment all the time: the U.S. economy looks good by figures, but it doesn’t feel good. Why doesn’t ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness? It is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958 of The Wealthy Society by John Kenneth Galbraith, who died recently at 97.

The Wealthy Society is a modern classic because it helped describe a new moment in the human condition. For most of history, “hunger, sickness, and cold” threatened nearly everyone, Galbraith wrote. “Poverty (貧窮) was found everywhere in that world. Obviously it is not of ours.” After World War II, the fear of another Great Depression gave way to an economic growth. In the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2 percent; in the 1950s it was 4.5 percent.

To Galbraith, materialism (物質(zhì)主義) had gone mad and would cause discontent. Through advertising, companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didn’t really want or need. Because so much spending was artificial, it would be unsatisfying. Meanwhile, government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people wrongly considered government only as “a necessary bad.”

It’s often said that only the rich are getting ahead; everyone else is standing still or falling behind. Well, there are many undeserving rich — overpaid chief managers, for instance. But over any meaningful period, most people’s incomes are increasing. From 1995 to 2004, people feel “squeezed” because their rising incomes often don’t satisfy their rising wants — for bigger homes, more health care, more education, and faster Internet connections.

The other great disappointment is that it has not got rid of insecurity. People regard job stability as part of their standard of living. As company unemployment increased, that part has gradually become weaker. More workers fear they’ve become “the disposable American,” as Louis Uchitelle puts it in his book by the same name.

Because so much previous suffering and social conflict resulted from poverty, the arrival of widespread wealth suggested utopian (烏托邦式的) possibilities. Up to a point, wealth succeeds. There is much less physical suffering than before. People are better off. Unfortunately, wealth also creates new complaints.

Advanced societies need economic growth to satisfy the multiplying wants of their citizens. But the search for growth cause new anxieties and economic conflicts that disturb the social order. Wealth sets free the individual, promising that everyone can choose a unique way to self-accomplishment. But the promise is so unreasonable that it leads to many disappointments and sometimes inspires choices that have anti-social consequences, including family breakdown. Figures indicate that happiness has not risen with incomes.

Should we be surprised? Not really. We’ve simply confirmed an old truth: the seeking of wealth does not always end with happiness.

1.The Wealthy Society is a book ________.

A. about poverty in the past

B. written by Louis Uchitelle

C. indicating that people are becoming worse off

D. about why happiness does not rise with wealth

A. materialism has run wild in modern society

B. they are in fear of another Great Depression

3.Why do people feel“squeezed”when their average income rises considerably?

A. They think there are too many overpaid rich.

B. There is more unemployment in modern society.

C. Their material demands go faster than their earnings.

D. Health care and educational cost have somehow gone out of control.

4.What does Louis Uchitelle mean by “the disposable American” ?

A. People with a stable job.

B. Workers who no longer have secure jobs.

C. Those who see job stability as part of their living standard.

D. People who have a sense of security because of their rising incomes.

5.What has wealth brought to American society?

A. Stability and security.

B. Materialism and content.
