Although I’m not in my childhood, I still prefer reading fairy tales. They often make me think of some special experiences and feelings. This summer I’ve reviewed this kind of tales, The Little Prince. It was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy tale by the French 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学
小学+初中+高中+努力=大学 author Antoine.
“I”, the narrator(讲述者) of the story, is a pilot. His plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. The little prince lives on a small planet, and he grows a flower called ROSE there. One day they have a quarrel(争吵), so the little prince runs away. On his all-alone journey, he meets different kinds of people. From these people he gets a conclusion(结论) that grown-ups are strange. And with the help of the man he meets, he descends in the Sahara.
This book moved me a lot. It is not only a fairy tale for children and teenagers, but also for grown-ups.

Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giant(科技巨头) introduced iBooks textbooks a couple of weeks ago when it announced its iBooks 2 platform(平台).
They are digital books in a variety of subjects taking in science, maths, history and geography.
Apple developed its iPad-based textbooks in conjunction(连接) with major textbook publishers. The company offers a collection of textbooks for high school students.
Apple claims(声称) it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its interactive (交互式的) iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter in learning”.
It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you require can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away.
Of course there’s a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at $14.99 (94.74 yuan) or less. Textbook publishing was worth $8.7 billion in the US alone last year. Will digital books take over completely in education?
34. According to the passage above, why iPads are better than our traditional textbooks? A. Because students don’t need to carry heavy books. B. Because they can store many subjects.
C. Because we don’t need to do homework. D. Both A and B.
35. The underlined sentence “there’s a catch” in the sixth paragraph means _________. A. Every coin has two sides B. There is some good news C. There is some bad news C. We have to catch it 36. What’s the writer’s opinion toward this new technology?
A. He completely agreed with it. B. He thinks high school students like it. C. He likes it so much that he buys one. D. He doesn’t tell us. 37. How will the writer continue this passage? 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学
小学+初中+高中+努力=大学
A. To talk about the disadvantages and advantages about iPads.
B. To introduce the history about the paper making and see if iPads will enter the new market. C. To tell us how the high school students use iPads.
D. To ask people to use their traditional textbooks instead of iPads.
