Question ...o, many people would have said 
no. It seemed likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now, however, most 
experts think that books are here to stay. 
There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One reason is that 
books on paper are much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a power source. You can 
read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want. You never have to worry about losing 
power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in a book than reading words on a 
computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes. 
Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer to that 
question is no. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able 
to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It will look like today's books, but it will be electronic. 
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small 
button on the side. When you press the button, words will instantly appear on the page. When you 
want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story will quickly appear. 
Question 41: The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly means ______. 
A. “won't disappear” B. “are nearby” C. “won’t come” D. “are useless” 
Question 42: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? 
A. Reading today’s books needs a power source. 
B. Books will disappear completely sooner or later. 
C. Reading words on computer screens is tiring to the eyes. 
D. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely. 
Question 43: What will the book of the future look like? 
A. We don't know what it will look like. B. It will look like a computer. 
C. It will look different from today's books. D. It will look like a book you buy today.
