26、   Electronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as electronic music publishing. By delivering text directly to the reader's computer screen, the e-book could cut down costs, and allow creators to deal directly with their audience, bypassing traditional publishers and traders. But it also raises the possibility of mass piracy(盗版). Phil Rance, founder and managing director of Online Originals, a London-based e-book publisher, sums it up，“No one wants Napster to happen to books.”

Indeed, the most popular MP3 may have put the frighteners on an industry that generally operates some way behind the “bleeding edge”. The Meta Group, a leading US-based market researcher, says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their rights,“ We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a river that is already overflowing. Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with new ways to develop wide electronic distribution, asking the question, ‘How can we change the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage?’ ”

At the moment, most publishers would like to limit the use of e-books to the person who bought them, or to the computer used to download them. If that can be done, e-books become just an extra income stream in a publishing industry that would continue to operate the way it does today, according to Terry Robinson, business manager for the digital rights aspect, “you've cracked the market,” he says.

Robert Nichols, Books Director at BOL agrees, “Rights management is absolutely important. Publishers just say that, ‘until copyright is secure, we're not going to talk’．”

【1】According to the text, what is the similarity of e-books to electronic music？

A.They both result in piracy.

B.They both lead to price reduction.

C.They both bring in much money to creators.

D.They both avoid industry management.

【2】From the text, we can infer that_____.

A.wide use of e-books may increase the income.

B.the publishing markets should be brought back to normal.

C.publishers haven’t agreed on rights management up to now.

D.most publishers prefer e-books for the extra income.

【3】What are most publishers concerned about according to the text?

A.copyrights management B.price control

C.market share D.original works

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.A Magic Book

B.The Fight Against Mass Piracy

C.Risks and Challenges Go Hand in Hand

D.The E-book----a New and Big Challenge

27、Eating a diet high in processed (加工的) food increases the risk of depression (沮丧抑郁), research suggests. What's more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found.

Data on diet among 3, 500 middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported. They split the participants (参与者) into two types of diet--those who ate a diet largely based on whole food, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high fat dairy products. After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.

Those who ate the most whole food had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least whole food. By contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed food.

Study author Dr Archana SinghManoux pointed out there was a chance the finding could be explained by a lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.

“There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is if you live in Britain, the likelihood (可能性) of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.”

Dr Andrew Mcculloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, "this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health.”

He added people’s diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy. The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated (含饱合脂肪酸的) fats and sugars.

【1】The text is mainly about ________.

A．the increasingly unhealthy diet of the UK population

B．the link between processed food and depression

【2】What do we know about the participants?

A．They are of different ages from young to old.

B．They have been eating a less healthy diet these years.

C．Most of them prefer whole food to processed food.

D．Those who ate whole food generally were happier in the long term.

【3】What can we learn from what Dr Archana SinghManoux said?

A．It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet.

B．The Mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world.

C．Many studies have been done on the Mediterranean diet before.

D．The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression.

【4】Dr Andrew McCulloch agrees that ________.

A．our diets are closely related to our mental health

B．the present study needs more facts and other information

C．the UK population will become ill in the near future

D．more saturated fats and sugars should be taken in

B．To prove people's diets are increasingly unhealthy.

C．To encourage people to cut down processed food.

D．To introduce some experts on the research team.
