The publisher sold out the whole first edition(版) at a bookstore the day it was printed, and received “thousands of requests” for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of news reports. As a result, the publisher is planning to publish 【4】 kinds of books in disappearing ink. In some ways, the idea is pretty clever.【5】, we still have some suggestions: First, the book should start the vanishing process after the reader first opens the book. If the vanishing ink books become very popular in the future, readers will need to read them one at a time. They don’t want their books to vanish before they read the first page. Second, the vanished book should find a 【6】 use. Maybe they can be recycled, or maybe we can use them as notebooks. It would be a more environmentally friendly way to do this.

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting. When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight. 小题1:The writer always refuses to give people directions because _____________. A.she is a stranger to the city | B.she doesn’t know the people | C.she has no time to help others | D.she’s afraid of giving wrong direction | 小题2: A man stopped the writer on the way to _____________.A.sell her something | B.ask her the time | C.make friends with her | D.ask for the direction | 小题3:The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ______________.A.lives | B.studies | C.works | D.teaches | 小题4:The words “embarrassed” in the paragraph means “___________”. 小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The writer is too shy to give others directions. | B.The writer has a very poor sense of direction. | C.The writer never got lost when she was young. | D.The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer. |

“Tom? Are you in bed yet?” called Mrs. White. There was no answer. Mrs. White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son’s room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast. “Oh, Tom. You’re still playing on that computer game. You must stop now, because it’s half past eleven. If you don’t go to bed soon, you’ll be very tired tomorrow.” Said Mrs. White. “But I’ve nearly won the game.” Tom said to Mrs. White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat beside him. “You’re always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework.” Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But many of their children use computers to play games, listen to songs and watch videos instead of studying.
