21、   E-book is short for electronic book. It is usually read on personal computers. Some mobile phones can also be used-to read e-books.

Earlier e-books were written for a special group of readers and were about only a few subjects. With the development(发展）of the Internet, knowledge and answers to a lot of questions mainly come from e-books. This is why the e-book business is increasing quickly.

E-books have many advantages. First, they save time. We don't need to go to a bookstore to buy books. Besides, we can find the topic we want to know about on the Internet, and then we can quickly get many e-books on similar topics. Second, e-books save money. Some e-books cost a little money, and there are millions of e-books on the Internet that we can get for free.Third, more trees are saved because e-books don't need to be printed on paper. Fourth, e-books make reading more convenient. You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you in a small computer or any e-book reader(电子阅读器）without worrying about their weight.

But e-books have some problems. They need a personal computer or an e-book reader and the information can be lost if its file format(文件格式)is not supported or changed in the reader's computer.

However, e-books give us a new way of reading. That is wonderful.

24、   Different cultures have different ways to meet and greet people. For example, in many Asian countries, it is polite to shake hands as a greeting. In Western countries, between close friends, people greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. When traveling in another country, just do as the Romans do.

After greeting another person you need to find something good to talk about. The best thing is to look around and talk about your situation. Are you at a party? Talk about the party. Are you in school? Talk about the school. It is not a good idea to ask very personal(私人的) questions when you meet someone for the first time. When you know a person very well, you may bring up questions like a person’s age.
