Many years ago, there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help. So he placed a very large stone in the center on the main road into town. Then he hid behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

“Who put this stone in the center of the road?” said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. Another man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of them noticed the stone in the center of the road, but no one of them tried to remove it.

Late in the afternoon, a young man came along. He saw the stone and said, “The night will be very dark . Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.”

The young man then began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his strength to move it to one side. But imagine his surprise when under the stone he found a bag full of money and this message: This money is for the thoughtful person who removes this stone from the road. That person deserves help.

Probably you have seen some one reading a book on an electronic reading device(仪器).Over the past few years, these small computers have become more popular. For that reason, more companies that make traditional paper books are now making electronic books (eBooks). Most eBooks are the same as paper books, but people download a file(文件) into a reading device rather than buying the paper book. This way they can carry many books.

Book companies are adding special features(特写) to some eBooks. These extra features might include sound files, picture files, or video files. When the readers click on these files, they learn

more about the book, the story, or the writer.

The latest electronic readers are smaller and cheaper, but they are also much more powerful. They can store much more information, so writers and book companies can do more with their eBooks. They do not want to just add files to a completed book. They are making the sound, pictures can even change the story.

Readers already have a lot of books to choose from. If they change the way stories end, they will have even more choice!

( ) 52. This reading is about________

A. books about the future. B. electronic books. C. books written after 1999. D. popular writers today.

( ) 53. Which sentence is True about the devices described in the passage?
