as I relax into thechair;I also relax into the authors words,stories and ideas.The physical bookis so elegant that it disappears into the background and what remains is the authors world.Today,we,at Amazon,are excited to announce Mindle,a wireless,portablereading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books,magazines and.newspapers.Weve been working on Mindle for more than three years.Our

riding a train,you can think of a book and have it in lessthan60 seconds.No computer is needed you do your reading directly from the device.We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones.But unlikephones there are no monthly wireless bills,no service or data plans,and no yearlycontracts.There is no softwareto install.We want you to getlost in your readingand not in the technology.Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper.Sharp and naturalwith no strong light reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen.Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces less than a paperback.but can carry two hundredbooks.Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!Jeff Bezos Founder CEO21.This passage most probably is a.A.lab reportB.news storyC.advertisementD.letter of thanks22.From the passage we learn that Mindle is a device which.C.disappears while you readB.is operated by a computerA.has neither wires nor weightD.can find a hook

the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep studentsactive.Some are replacingtraditionalclassroom chairs with exercise balls orstanding desks.At Ward Elementary Schoolin Winston,North

classes.It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read andRide programtotheentireschool.TodayWardElementaryhas adedicatedexercise room filled with bikesthat can be used by

bikes tested at a much lower,41%.Thoughthesubstantialimprovementinacademicachievementcannotallbeattributedto programs like Read and Ride,experts believe they are asignificant contributor.Thats because
