Net Library is a library that lends out digital books. It treats a digital book like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.

From the consumer’s point of view, this means that if more than five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title is unable to get.

Many publishers seem to have embraced its model. More than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works, and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money into the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.

Some librarians criticize the Net Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.

Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by Brary. Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.

But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to point out material or copy and taste it into a different file or tries to download a copy onto a computer.

Christopher Warnock, chief executive of Brary, believes most consumers won’t want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.

“There is not really a lot of good owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.

1.How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

A.They get money from selling their books to the Net Library

B.They get money from the readers.

C.They get money by cutting the cost of the books.

D.They share the money with Net Library.

2.The underlined word “embraced” in the third paragraph means

A. tried out something hard

B. held something tightly

C. disliked something badly

D. taken something willingly

3.What does the last paragraph mean?

A. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.

B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.

C. Brary is not a good library for the consumers.

D. It’s reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.

A study found that young people have a stronger and more unpleasant scent (气味) than the elderly,while elderly people’s smell was the most distinctive,less intense and unpleasant. Researchers said the change in our smell is driven by the chemicals we release through our glands (腺) and the bacteria on our skin.

To test whether or not it really exists,scientists collected a series of samples from three groups of 12 to 16 donors,aged 20 to 30,45 to 55 and 75 to 95.Volunteers wore special T-shirts fitted with underarm pads (护垫) as they slept for five nights,after which the pads were cut up and put in glass jars. A separate group of 41 people aged 20 to 30 was then asked to smell two jars at a time and asked which group of the donors was older,as well as rating how strong and unpleasant each smell was.

When asked to specify whether a particular sample was from a young,middle aged or old person,they were much more successful at identifying older people. Despite being the most distinctive,the older people’s smell was also rated as being obviously less intense and less unpleasant than those from the other groups.

Researchers said their findings appeared to contradict people's negative ideas about the old person’s smell but admitted other factors,like smelly breath or skin,could be to blame for its bad reputation.

“Similar to other animals,humans can give off body scents that allow us to identify biological age,avoid sick individuals and pick a suitable partner. Elderly people have a distinctive scent that younger people consider to be not very unpleasant. This was surprising given the popular conception of old age scent as smelly. However,it's possible that other sources of body scents,such as skin or breath,may have different qualities,” said Dr Johan Lundstrom,who led the study.

1.What do we know from the study?

A.People of different ages give off different scents.

B.People's scent can only be changed by the bacteria on their skin.

C.People show great interest in old people's scent.

D.People's scent can help distinguish a man and a woman.

2.Which of the following ages of people have the chance to participate in the study?

A.16  B. 77  C.74  D.56

3.According to the passage, people usually think that________.

A.old people's scent is simply from their breath

B.old people have a bad reputation mainly for their skin

C.old people's scent is terrible and unpleasant

D.old people give off a more pleasant scent

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A.To tell old people how to remove their terrible scent.

B.To prove that people often hold wrong ideas.

C.To show how researchers carried out their study about the scent.

D.To report the findings of a study about people's scent.
