It is 2018; e-books are loved by many people. Do you read them?
An e-book is an electronic book, which can be made from common books and loaded onto an e-reader. The e-reader is a mini-device, just like a cell-phone. It has a touch pad screen and can hold a few hundred e-books. People can read e-books on it just like they do a book. So it is possible for people to read anywhere with an e-reader. This is perfect news for people who love to read books but can’t carry many.
Another great thing is that people can read books on it quickly and there’s no need for two hands to hold the book and turn pages. Most e-readers also have a nightlight, so you can read at night and don’t wake your partner with a big light on.
Not all book authors agree to make their books into e-books. The creator of Harry Potter says that her books will never be e-books. However, lots of authors absolutely love the idea and feel it’s the next step to keep books alive.
Nowadays e-books are sold in many websites, from where you can buy and load them onto your e-reader. Those websites look just like ordinary online bookstores and have a list of best sellers and a new book section. There is also a clear price on each e-book to make sure people can buy them like buying common books.

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed
at least once a week.You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system.Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
◇Continental Breakfast
◇Breakfast and Dinner
◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission.You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix (修理) it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.
I do not th ink it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now?
And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect (完美的;无瑕的), it seems to say. And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect?
Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower of Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.
8．This passage is about ________.
A．how the Italian pizza was made
B．what are Italy’s problems
C．how the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its name
D．why the writer likes Pisa
9．The writer used to think Pisa ________.
A．in Spain
B．the same as pizza
C．not the same as pizza
D．not very famous
10．The writer ________.
A．doesn’t like what the tower looks like
B．likes what the tower looks like
C．thinks it’s the most beautiful tower in Italy
D．doesn’t like towers
11．The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because ________.
A．it’s imperfect B．it’s perfect
C．it sells pizza D．it’s old
