    An advance in electronic publishing could make the ebook you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to explore the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniments.

The noises in the first multimedia books- released in Britain on Friday - include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores will create tension. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austen have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups clinking in Mr. Darcy's garden as they read Pride and Prejudice.

Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.

Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said, “Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that's what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”

Booktrack's sound effects work by estimating the user's reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch(同步), a click on any word will re-set it.

Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an ebook because I’m constantly distracted by emails.”

Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said, “If I’m reading, I will do the noise in my head. I don't need someone to tell me what tea cups clinking sounds like. That would irritate me.”

1.What's the passage mainly about?

A.Opinions about ebooks with soundtracks.

B.Response to the need of the book market.

C.Reasons for traditional ebooks becoming outdated.

D.Suggestions on encouraging readers' imagination.

2.What do publishers expect an ebook soundtrack to do?

A.Help to release an ebook as a film.

B.Help readers improve reading speed.

C.Add tension at a book's exciting point.

D.Get readers familiar with the background.

3.Who is in favour of added soundtracks for ebooks?

A.Mr. Darcy. B.Caroline Michel.

C.David Nicholls. D.Stuart MacBride.

4.What do we know about Stuart MacBride?

A.He was a person who was easy to get angry.

B.He knew a great deal about tea and tea culture.

C.Eighty-two percent of his books described crime.

D.He imagined sounds related to the story when reading.

    Africa Water Week -nearly one billion people around the world have no access to drinking water, that lack of clean water association with un-proper hygiene and shortage of toilets kills 3. 3 million a year. And this is a common problem in many parts of the developing world, but its effect is not widely known, according to experts at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

As part of the World Water Day tradition, the center is screening films about international water issues at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D. C. The films describe a variety of conflicts over water.

“The challenge in presenting these films,” says Peter Sawyer, project coordinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, “is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water. Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there,” he says. “We don't feel that they attract public attention and we think that they should because they are really important.”

In Dhaka's Challenge, filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia. He says one-third of the 15 million people in the Bangladeshi capital live in places where safe water is limited. Each year 400, 000 newcomers join Dhaka's urban poor. City water from Dhaka's Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) comes at a price, available only to land owners. The film records how a non-profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor.

Diabalok Sing Ha, who is the group's founder, said, “A win-win situation actually occurred because Dhaka WASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand, poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka WASA water supply because that is cheap, so they immediately buy in.”

“My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable on some level even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long run to save many lives,” says Sapienza.

1.Which of the following is the main purpose of the films?

A.To show the number of people lacking clean water.

B.To let more people know the serious water problems.

C.To attract people to pay attention to the world conflicts.

D.To get people to have a good knowledge of water.

2.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A.Ways to get cheap water. B.The film Dhaka's Challenge.

C.Filmmaker Stephen Sapienza. D.A non-profit group.

3.Which of the following does Diabalok Sing Ha agree with?

A.Most people can't afford the water supply.

B.Rich people in Dhaka will buy in at once.

C.Poor people in Dhaka need the service of water.

D.Dhaka WAS A will see soon the economic advantage.

4.What does Sapienza intend to tell us by making the film Dhaka's Challenge?

A.The problem of water can possibly be solved.

B.All the people cannot get city water from WASA.

C.A win-win situation is expected by every filmmaker.

D.Dhaka WASA is very popular with the local people.
