Though in a digital age, college students nowadays are still holding fast to traditional books. According to the National Association of College Stores, digital books make up just under 3% of textbook sales, although the association expects that share to grow to 10% to 15% by 2012 as more titles are made available as e-books. However, three-quarters of the students, who grew up learning from print books, say that they are unwilling to give up the ability to turn over quickly between chapters, write in the edges and highlight passages.
The new technology has produced various options for students. College Booksellers, which operates 636 campus bookstores nationwide, is now marketing its new software application, which allows students to read e-textbooks on PCs. The company introduced the free application last summer in hopes of attracting more students to buy its electronic textbooks. "Now the biggest barrier is getting them to try it," said the company’s vice president.
But not every textbook is available in digital or rental format. Generally, an e-textbook is cheaper than a used book, though more expensive than a rental. The expense of college textbooks has become a great concern and teachers from over 40 colleges nationwide are encouraged to assign texts that are less expensive, or to offer them free online. As the buy-back price drops greatly and quickly, some professors suggest that the book stores should not have the last say and there should be something for students to decide by themselves.
72. College students prefer traditional books mainly because they ______.
A. want to keep the ability of reading print hooks
B. have the habit of turning over quickly between pages
C. find it interesting to keep notes in the edges of books
D. feel more relaxed to read print materials
73. Which of the following is NOT true according to the 2nd paragraph? ______.
A. College Booksellers operates more than 600 bookstores in campus
B. The free application was introduced to increase sales of electronic textbooks
C. Campus students now fancy a try of the free software application
D. The company's management still has to do more to sell the e-books
74. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. second-hand books are cheaper than rental books
B. all the textbooks have both the digital and rental formats
C. the price totally determines the student's selection of books
D. the price of buy-back books are determined by book stores
75. The best title for the text would be ______.
A. Addiction to Traditional Books B. Print Books in a Digital World
C. More Texts in Digital Format D. Book Price Drops Sharply and Quickly

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me. ”However，that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves--the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact，we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self—talk” helps us motivate ourselves，remember things, solve problems，and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77％of self—talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back . The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said．And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self—esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that ．
A．not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
B．inspiring words give us confidence
C．negative words may let us down
D．words have a lasting effect on us
2.There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because ．
A．a(chǎn)lmost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B．we can benefit from talking to ourselves
C．talking to ourselves always gives us courage
D．it does no harm to have“self—talk”when we are alone
3.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely ．
A．praise ourselves B．remind ourselves
C．make ourselves relaxed D．give ourselves amusement
4.The author would probably hold the view that ．
A．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
B．negative words may stimulate us to make more progress
C．people tend to remember friendly words
D．it is better to think twice before talking to others
