【題目】Editor Henry Slocum，

I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books，or e-books，with great interest．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?

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

The Importance of Positive Attitude

A positive attitude is very important as it will make our life easier. 【1】 . There will be times when we will face problems and obstacles. The most challenging part is not when our life goes smoothly but how we react when we experience problems and difficulties.

Those who have a positive attitude will treat any problem as a challenge. Instead of being discouraged, they will treat each failure as a lesson. 【2】 . As for those who do not have the positive attitude, they will see problems and difficulties in a different way.

The situation can be the same for both the Guy A and Guy B. 【3】 . Every one of us has the same amount of time. Since having a negative attitude will eat up our time, why don’t we just make good use of the same amount of time to have a positive attitude? Life itself is already hard. It will be much better if we have a positive attitude which will make our life happier and easier.

【4】 . People will generally prefer to stay with people who have positive attitudes as being happy is very infectious (富有感染力的) . Everyone will be affected by the energy of positive attitudes and they too will have a positive attitude.

Nowadays many singers and bands have little to do with good music. They know little about what good music mean. What is the cause? So far most of these singers have see music as a “job” because it is a good source of making money. And if you have good appearance and some expensive clothes to show off at your concerts, then you voice is not so important as it should be. The public will prefer to admire more about the most interested parts of your body and even forgot that you are there to show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high level. However, the young generation should be understand talent and a good voice matter more in their musical career. All the performances which have little to do with good music fail in be welcomed on stage. If a young man has a great voice and wants to become a successfully singer, he should take some special courses in this area because they will help him improve singing abilities.
