    Dear Customers,
    I love slipping (滑落) into a comfortable chair for a long read—as I relax into the chair, I also relax into the author’s words, stories and ideas. The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is the author’s world.
    Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines and newspapers.
    We’ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design objective was for Mindle to disappear in your hands—to get out of the way—so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed—you do your reading directly from the device.
    We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install (安装，设置)。 We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.
    Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces—less than paperback—but can carry two hundred books.
    Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!

    Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the job.
    My wife said to me quietly, “It’s his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said in a loud voice, “It is a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it?”
    “I will decide about that when I see the bill, ” I read:
    One dining table, 10 November, 1989.
    Cost of wood: ＄17.00
    Paint: ＄1.50
    Work: 8 hours (＄1 an hour) ＄8.00
    Total: ＄36.50
    When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It’s been a fine day, hasn’t it? Quite sunny.” “Yes,” I said, “I’m glad it is only the 10th of November.”
    “Me, too,” said John. “You wait. It’ll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”
    “Yes, colder…. And more expensive! Dining tables will be ＄20 more expensive on November 30th, won’t they, John?” John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.
    “If it isn’t too much trouble, John,” I said, “Please add it up again and you can forget the date.”
    I paid him ＄26.50and he was happy to get it.
    小题1:Why did John talk about the weather when the writer was looking at the bill?_______
    A．Because he didn’t want the writer to go through the bill carefully.
    B．Because it was really a fine day.
    C．Because he wanted the writer to check the bill carefully.
    D．Because he wanted to tell the writer what the weather was like.
    小题2:Why did the writer say that dining table would be＄ 20 more expensive on November 30th ?__________ 
    A．Because it was difficult to make dining tables in cold weather.
    B．Because paint would be more expensive.
    C．Because the cost of wood would be more expensive.
    D．Because he thought John would certainly add to the cost of the dining table.
    小题3:From the story we know that _____________
    A．John made a mistake in the bill.

    What brings a nation together? Of the four choices — shared values, language, history, and religion, it’s shared values. In our latest poll (民意调査), seven out of 16 countries chose values as the greatest factor (因索）bringing a nation together, and six preferred language. Both choices scored high in the poll, suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely linked Still, history was not forgotten in some countries, particularly in Mexico and Russia. Even Canada and the United States chose national histories as the second-most important factor uniting their people. The biggest surprise? Not one country picked religion as its top choice.
    Respect your elders
    In most countries, the oldest
    generation considered values more important to a nation than did those who are under 45 years old.
    		Do you speak Canadian?
    Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled, perhaps because the country speaks two official languages, French and English.
    		Church and state
    Most people polled do not connect their religious beliefs to their national pride. Religion ranked last in 13 countries — with France scoring it at 1%, the lowest of all.
    小题1:According to the poll, what was the most important factor in bringing a nation together?
