My family and I never talked about school as a ticket to the future. I was in the classroom, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was only 13 years old, but I had already hated being who I was.

I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed, but at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined not to let it happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.

Now I am 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way home from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.

“I’m so glad I have a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “Next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added.

The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia(诵读困难症). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.

1. Why did the author want to hide?

A. Because he felt sorry for himself.   B. Because he hated being laughed at.

C. Because he couldn’t read at all.   D. Because he didn’t have a ticket.

2. Which of the following can best describe Mr. Creech?

A. Considerate and dutiful.     B. Demanding and enthusiastic.

C. Emotional and dedicated.    D. Friendly and ambitious.

3. Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr. Creech?

A. Because his reading age was not long enough.

B. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read.

C. Because he was afraid of reading before the class.

D. Because he didn’t have the inner driving force to learn to read.

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Mr. Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton.

B. The author had become a published author and an active speaker.

C. Dyslexia was the underlying (潜在的) reason that made the author unable to read.

D. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.

What is a book nowadays in a world of diverse Kindles and iPads? Traditional publishers are traveling a long and confusing road into the digital future. Here’s the conventional wisdom about publishing: People expect e-books to be cheaper than physical books, and that drives down prices. But the story isn’t so simple. For one thing, digital publishers have the same problem that traditional publishers do: piracy(盗版行为).

It turns out, though, that some publishers are doing pretty well despite the piracy problem. “We’ve had an amazing year,” says Sourcebooks President Dominique Raccah. “Last year was the best year in the company’s history. This year we beat that, which I didn’t think was even possible.” Raccah adds that her company is doing well because of digital publishing.

It turns out there are some huge advantages—at least for publishers. A big one: The price of an e-book isn’t as fixed as physical books. Ten years ago, a publisher would have sent out its books to the bookstore with the price stamped on the cover. After that, it was done—the publisher couldn’t put a book on sale to sell more copies.

“The exciting thing about digital books is that we precisely get to test and price them differently,” Raccah says. That was what American publisher Little, Brown and Company did with Robert Dallek’s book An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy. In the middle of November, Little, Brown and Company dropped the price from $9.99 to $2.99 for 24 hours. “That sparks sales; it gets people talking about it,” says Terry Adams, a publisher with Little, Brown and Company.

If you read the new e-book 40 Years of Queen, you will find it full of links. Links to iTunes, where you can purchase the music you’ve been reading about. That’s another huge advantage of e-books: Publishers can sell you things inside your book.

There’s still one big problem putting pressure on publishers. “We actually don’t have a good tradition of giving e-books,” says Raccah. Despite all the advances in reading technology, physical books are still the best Christmas presents.
