Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giant(科技巨人) introduced iBooks textbooks many weeks ago. They are digital books in many subjects taking in science, maths, history and geography. Apple says it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its interactive (互動的) iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter(篇章) in learning”.

It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you need can be stored on your iPad.

No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away. Instead of boring old textbooks which are quickly out of date you can have an interactive learning experience. You can play videos, draw 3D pictures when you do some math problems, listen to music, make notes and mark passages electronically. You can also share studying materials on social networking sites with your friends.

Of course there’s a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at $14.99 (94.74 yuan) or more. And the rest, will Apple start a completely new way of learning? As they say, is history. That remains to be seen.

1.Where can we find this kind of passage?

A.In a music magazine B.In a story book C.In a newspaper D.In a diary

2.If we own iBooks, which of these statements is Not True?

A.We don’t have to carry heavy backpacks. B.We can store textbooks on iPad.

C.We still need to buy many expensive textbooks which we will only use for a year or two. D.We can have an interactive learning experience.

3.What can you do by using iBooks except_________.

A.listening to the songs B.reading and make notes

C.solving maths problems D.going shopping

4.What does the underlined sentence “Of course there’s a catch” mean in Paragraph 3 ?

A.Practice makes perfect B.It is never too old to learn

C.Every coin has two sides D.Gold will not buy anything

5.Which is the best title for this passage?

A.Experience Digital Textbooks B.Apple Enters New Market

C.Say Good-bye to Tradition D.A Different Way of Learning
