1．Miscioscio，60，a marketing consultant in Pearl River，N Y，says she is addicted to Sony e-reader．She buys or borrows a print book only when it's not available digitally．She says most of her friends and relatives have also switched to e-books for the convenience and lower prices．Last winter，she notes，she vacationed in Costa Rica and says "at least 75% of those reading were reading electronically．I was shocked to see people taking their e-readers onto the loungers（躺椅） in the pool．
Meier，43，a marketing director in Beaver Falls，prefers her books on paper，no screens．After working on a computer all day，she says， "I want a book in my hand．Turning over its pages is my way of knowing it's time to relax and slow down．" Meier，who's sticking with physical books，doesn't consider herself any kind of digital "resister．" "I'm comfortable with all forms of technology，" she says． "However，when it comes to books，I suppose I'm a traditionalist．Mypreference will always be the real thing．"
To her，part of the joy of reading is the book itself： "pulling it from the shelf，inspecting the cover，letting it fall open to a random page．"
Both have lots of company．Statistics show that e-book sales grew 43% last year，but that's a slowdown compared with the triple-digit increases in recent years．E-books remain the fastest-growing part of the book market but account for only about 20% of all sales，reported by publishers．
Miscioscio and Meier are at opposite ends of a book business in transition．Even though e-book sales have grown more than 4，000% since 2008，it's unlikely that physical books will disappear the way records did in the music industry．

（2）According to Meier，her "preference" refers to．
A．paper book
B．part of joy
C．a(chǎn) random page

2．Getting rid of dirt，in the opinion of most people，is a good thing．However，there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt．
In the early 16th century，people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease，as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in．A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths．By 1538，the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom．So did the king of England in 1546．Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way．Henry IV，King of France，was famously dirty．Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath，the king ordered that，to avoid the attack of disease，the nobleman should not go out．
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived，dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century．Scientifically speaking，cleaning away dirt is good to health．Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease．Yet，it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World WarⅡ．Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea；clothes need to be whiter than white，cloths ever softer，surfaces to shine．Has the hate for dirt，however，gone too far？
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays．Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt，which might be responsible for the spread of disease．On the contrary，Mary Rucbush，an American immunologist（免疫學家），encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system．And the latter position is gaining some ground．
（1）The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because．
A．they lived healthily in a dirty environment．
B．they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay in
C．they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D．they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
（2）Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing？
A．Afraid
B．Curious
C．Approving
D．Uninterested
（3）How does the passage mainly develop？
A．By providing examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By following the order of time．
D．By following the order of importance．
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To stress the role of dirt．
B．To introduce the history of dirt．
C．To call attention to the danger of dirt．
D．To present the change of views on dirt．組卷：69引用：20難度：0.3
