One problem a lot of people have with books is that they buy them and then never read them. 1．It printed (印刷) books in a special way: the words of the book disappears two months after the special packing of the book is opened. It forces buyers to read it before it disappears. People call this “the book that can't wait”.

2．The publisher sold out all the books in one day, and got “thousands of requests (请求)” for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of media coverage (媒体报道). As a result, the publisher is planning to publish other works in this way.

3． However, we have some suggestions:

First, the book should start disappearing after the reader opens the book for the first time. If the books become very popular in the future, readers will need to read them one at a time. They don’t want their books to disappear they read the first page.

Second, the disappeared books should find a good use. 4． It would be a better way to do this

5． Buy them and read them. It’s wrong to set the books just on the shelves without opening.

The Students’ Union

When I was a boy, we had a television set. The program I liked best was The Jetsons. It was a cartoon series set in a future that was full of fantastic machines that could do anything. I always dreamed of a day when I would have machines like this to do all my work, so I could just sit back and relax.

Now my life is full of machines like these, but I seem to have more to do than ever. Just today I had to spend most of the morning downloading a new version（版本）of my word processing program, so I could write this article. When I first started out, I wrote my stories on lined notebook paper, and it took half the time. Last week, I spent most of another morning trying to get my new coffee maker to work right. I seem to be drowning in a sea of new rules and problems that come with new technology.

Now don’t get me wrong. Computers and machines have done a lot to help all of us. I just want us to be able to use them without them using us. We always seem to be busy because we’re spending all of our time using these machines.

I hope that in the future, machines can be more user-friendly, so we don’t spend all our time on them. With machines we can live an easier life, but they can never replace time spent with family and friends.

1．Why did the writer mention his childhood cartoon?

A．To share his happy times with the readers.	B．To compare the life in the past and the life today.
C．To introduce his favorite program.	D．To introduce the story topic.

2．Paragraph 2 is written to show ________.

A．the writer’s dream finally came true	B．machines in our life bring us a lot of convenience
C．new technology brings problems	D．the technology develops fast

3．What is the writer’s attitude toward machines?

A．The machines are useless.	B．Machines are helpful and time-saving.
C．We spend too much time using machines.	D．We have lived an easy life with machines.

Teachers sometimes work as a(n) ________ to help you out and lead your life to be right way.

A．officer

B．musician

C．engineer

D．guide
