Many people prefer reading paper books because they are easy to b 2 from bookshops and comfortable to read. Paper books also allow readers to make n 3 easily. H 4 , some books, such as dictionaries, can be heavy and are not easy to carry around.
Compared w 5 paper books, e-books benefit (有助于) students in many aspects. E-books can be s 6 in a reader (电子阅读器), which is much lighter. Many e-book readers also have a dictionary for you to c 7 new words quickly! However, you can only g 8 e-books online. Unlike paper books, you must read e-books on an e-book reader, a computer, or a smartphone. This adds extra cost.

Although more people will try e-books, I believe paper books will not disappear. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter which you use as l 10 as it allows you to enjoy reading.

Inventor Clarence Birdseye was born in New York in 1886. From a young age, he was interested in animals and plants and in 1906, Birdseye went to college. However, two years later, he l 81 college for family reasons. Then he took a job and worked for the US government.
In 1912, Birdseye moved to Labrador—now in Canada. He stayed there u 82 1915. When he was in
Labrador, Birdseye watched local people fishing t 83 holes which was cut in an icy lake. As soon as they pulled out fish, the fish at once froze (冻结) in the very cold a 84 . He noticed that they could then be kept for a long p 85 . When people wanted some to eat, they could defrost (解冻) them without losing any of the freshness. Birdseye realised that cooling food very quickly was the key to keeping its freshness. This was easy in very cold environments. In w 86 environments, people had to freeze food slowly. When food is frozen in this way, ice crystals (冰晶), shaped like knives, start to grow inside it. These cut into the food and change the food’s cellular structure (细胞结构) and then its taste. It took Birdseye years to work out how to cool food quickly enough to stop them from growing. Then he began to wonder how this way of freezing might work with fresh v 87 and other food like fish and meat.
After a lot of efforts, in the late 1920s, Birdseye developed a m 88 to freeze food fast in the US. Later, he i 89 the first line of frozen food into the market. Frozen food began to be widely accepted.
Birdseye died in 1956. Today people c 90 him as the father of the modern frozen food industry(行业).

Most of us have spent time at a museum, looking at and learning about the things there. Every year, museums put a lot of money and work into keeping their objects (物品) in good c 91 . They make sure the temperature and light levels are always just r 92 and that the air isn’t too wet.
However, even if all of them are correct, some things can still be harmful to a valuable object—insects (昆虫). Often they enter the museum inside the object itself. They may a 93 be brought in by accident on visitors’ clothes. Once inside the museum, they can quickly m 94 from one object to another, and they enjoy eating natural material (材料) such as wood, cotton, silk and wool.
Museum experts (专家) say that the older the objects are, the more the insects seem to like them. That’s a problem because these things can’t e 95 be repaired. As a result, museums will try almost anything to s 96 insects from harming their collections. For example, a new object will be kept separately at first. Then, when staff(工作人员) are sure there are no insects inside, it can be put on show. If insects are f 97 in a piece of clothing or art, placing it in a freezer (冷冻柜) is one way of getting rid of (除掉) them.
But now one museum in the US has decided to try something new. They are t 98 a dog to find insects. Dogs have an e 99 sense of smell. Usually the dog sits down to show what it has found. Staff at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston hope that their dog, Riley, will learn to do this when it finds insects. They say that at the moment it’s just an experiment. However, if Riley can help find insects b 100 they do a lot of harm, other museums are sure to be interested.
