A young man traveled by train. As it was running across a desert, passengers looked out of window.

When the train went near a turning, it slowed down and then a house came to their eyes. It was so lonely that everybody on the train turned to “admire” it with eyes wide open. Some passengers even began a discussion about it.

The young man was also impressed (給于某人深刻印象) by the scene. On his return he got off the train at the nearest station and found his way to the house. Its owner told him that troubled by the noise of the train he wanted to sell the house but nobody would buy it.

Soon after the young man spent 30,000 dollars for the house, regarding it as favorite place for advertisement. It was facing the railway on the turning where the train had to slow down and passengers would have a look at the house.

He managed to connect with big companies and tried his best to be sure of the advantage of the place for advertisement. Finally, the Coca Cola Company took a lease (租賃) on it to put up signs. The young man was paid 180,000 dollars for three years.

While you are at the bookstore, you may be faced with a difficult decision: e-books or paper books? Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Making the best decision depends on many factors.

An e-reader can carry a whole library wherever you go, which is great for travelers or those who always want a choice of reading materials. Although e-readers are convenient, high levels of screen brightness from an electronic device (電子設(shè)備)can cause eye problems. A study in the Information Science Research found that young people preferred e-readers, like smart phones or iPads. That’s why most teenagers are short-sighted (近視).

Many book lovers still prefer paper books and value the feeling of them. Paper books are very well designed, they look and smell good, and they carry with them a more human touch. Avid (熱衷的) readers prefer reading on paper. Perhaps this is their choice because paper books give them a sense of ownership. It is reported that reading on paper rather than an electronic screen is better for memory and focus. But paper books are heavy and they are not convenient to carry. Which is your decision, an e-book or a paper book?
